Their pregnancy announcement in November was met with excitement from their close circle and football community.

At the time, Helene Spilling, partner of Arsenal captain Martin Ødegaard, commented: "We can’t wait to meet your little one." 

While Bukayo Saka’s girlfriend, Tolami Benson, also expressed her excitement, saying: "SO EXCITED!!!!"

While Havertz and Sophia celebrate their new arrival, the Arsenal forward is currently sidelined due to a hamstring injury sustained during the club’s warm-weather training trip to Dubai last month.
