When did she get married to Mikel Arteta and do they have any children?
She met the former Arsenal star in 2002 and claims that she did not know he was a footballer when they first met.
After dating for six years, the couple got married in Mallorca, Spain in 2010.
The pair have three sons together: Gabriel, Daniel and Oliver.

As you would expect with not only a model and actress, but also the wife of a well-known sports star – Lorena has built up a tidy following.
She has over 34,300 followers on Instagram, where she regularly posts photoshoots, family life and destinations she has visited.
The model is also on Twitter with over 19k followers, but does not keep as updated on that platform.
