A newborn boy is the first child born to Martin Ødegaard and his wife, Helene Spilling. Helene just posted a heartwarming picture of the pair clutching their newborn’s hand on social media, with the message, “We love you so much, our little baby boy.” The Arsenal midfielder made their pregnancy announcement in August.

Shortly after Arsenal defeated West Ham 5-2 last Sunday, the baby was delivered. According to a source, “Martin is incredibly proud, and Helene is thrilled as well.”
In the summer of 2023, Ødegaard, 25, and Spilling, 27, made their relationship public. Following the end of the 2022–2023 season, Helene was spotted embracing him on the field. Verdens Gang, a Norwegian publication, reported last month that Ødegaard had changed his marital status in the national registry, confirming rumors that they had secretly married. Helene has also changed her name to include Ødegaard’s surname.
