Martin Odegaard’s girlfriend, Helene Spilling, showcased her impressive dance moves on TikTok after Arsenal’s triumph over Chelsea. Odegaard’s stellar performance, which included two assists, earned him the Man of the Match award, while Spilling celebrated the team’s 5-0 win with an energetic dance to Shakira’s ‘Waka Waka (This Time for Africa)’. Spilling, a former winner of Norway’s ‘Skal vi danse’ (the Norwegian equivalent of ‘Strictly Come Dancing’), has since garnered substantial Instagram followers, often sharing glimpses of her dance routines and support for Arsenal.
Odegaard’s dominant display on the pitch, contributing two assists, propelled him to eight goals and eight assists in the league this season. Spilling’s dance moves off the pitch further added to the joyous atmosphere at the Emirates Stadium after the resounding victory.
The couple’s relationship, which became public in June 2023, has been evident through affectionate public appearances and Spilling’s presence at Arsenal matches. In contrast to Spilling’s celebratory mood, Declan Rice’s long-term girlfriend, Lauren Fryer, recently deleted her Instagram account after enduring online abuse targeting her appearance.
Rice, an Arsenal player, and Fryer, the mother of their 20-month-old son, have been together for nearly eight years. However, Fryer’s decision to remove her Instagram posts highlights the unfortunate prevalence of cyberbullying and the pressure faced by WAGs (wives and girlfriends of footballers) in the public eye.
