Arsenal goalkeeper Bernd Leno and Sophia Christin became husband and wife in 2020 but the lovebirds decided to renew their marriage vows in June 2022 in Ibiza, Spain.
After the marriage renewal, Bernd Leno who has been enjoying his summer break at the holiday resort, took to his Instagram page on Friday, June 17, to share a picture from the luxurious event.
In the picture, Bernd Leno and Sophia Christin were seen exchanging a deep kiss after the coordinating minister had blessed their union.
Who Is Sophia Christin?
Sophie Christin was born and raised in Dusseldorf. Mats Christin (father) and Julia Christin (mother) took excellent care of her. As a result, she had little or no problems while growing up.
Sophie considers herself fortunate to have grown up with a younger brother named Joshua Christin.
Sophie began her education at St. George’s – British International School Duisburg-Düsseldorf. Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf equipped her with the best higher education available. She received a bachelor’s degree in Social Studies.
Despite her high level of education, Sophie Christin is known as a social media personality in Germany. She relocated to London in 2018 to help keep Leno happy away from home.
Note that Sophie began dating Bernd Leno on August 15, 2015. They dated for five years before Leno proposed to his sweetheart on June 19, 2019.
Bernd Leno and Sophia Christin first got married on August 11, 2020 and then decided to renew their wedding vows in June 2022.
Leno’s Career
Leno was playing for VfB Stuttgart until he was loaned to Bayer Leverkusen in 2011. He made his Bundesliga debut against Werder Bremen four days after signing a five-month loan contract.
He became the third goalie in Bundesliga history to maintain a clean sheet in his first three games, following Dirk Krüssenberg and Heribert Macherey.
He made history as the youngest German goalkeeper to ever participate in a Champions League match when he made his debut against Chelsea in the 2011–12 UEFA Champions League group stage on September 13, 2011, at the age of 19 years and 193 days.
Arsenal confirmed on June 19, 2018, that Leno had signed a five-year contract with the club for a cost of £22.5 million, subject to the completion of “regulatory processes.” Leno made his Arsenal debut in a 4–2 win over Vorskla Poltava during a Europa League game.
In the 2–0 win over Watford at home, Leno made his Premier League debut, replacing regular goalkeeper Petr Cech, who suffered an injury in the first half. In October 2015, Leno was called up to the senior German team for UEFA Euro 2016 qualifiers against the Republic of Ireland and Georgia.
Since then, the 30-year-old German goalkeeper has made 9 appearances in all competitions for Germany as he continues to await the retirement of legendary 36-year-old Germany first-choice goalkeeper Manuel Peter Neuer.
