Known as the wife of… remembered for everything after.
Hi, I’m Laura.
You might know me as the wife of a professional footballer, but this story isn’t just about the man behind the jersey. It’s about the woman beside it.
After years of living and learning abroad, juggling life as a mother, partner, and working in one of the most intense and high-pressure industries you can imagine, I’m finally sitting down to write again. This is my first post in years and I’m ready to begin a new chapter.
So much has changed since I last posted here. I’ve gone from expat wife to career woman in a world that demands sharpness, trust and resilience. From mom in survival mode to a woman who knows her worth, her strength, and the value of telling stories as they really are raw, human, and powerful.
This site was once called “Story of a Soccer Wife,” and in many ways, it still is. But now, it’s also about reclaiming space for my own voice, my perspective, and the unfiltered truth behind all those glossy social media snapshots. No filters. No pretense. Just the real story, told with a wink and a whole lot of heart.
If you’ve followed me for a while: welcome back. If you’re new here: buckle up. I’m just getting started.
