Granit Xhaka of Arsenal celebrated his wife and mother of his two girls Leonita Lekaj as she turned 30 years in a massive way.
Based on the images which were shared on Leonita’s Instagram page, her birthday was celebrated in their house in what looks like a colourful and a lowkey event.

The wife who bore him two daughters was putting on a shinning red dress and a pair of shoes even though they were indoors.
In the third picture that was shared on Leonita’s page, the couple were holding their kids – Xhaka with the youngest in his arm while the second was standing with Leonita.
