Meet Arsenal icon’s daughter after she goes public with Alisha Lehmann’s footballer ex

Douglas Luiz, who once dated the “world’s sexiest footballer” Alisha Lehmann, has gone public with his new flame – who is the daughter of an Arsenal hero

Duda Gaspar knows a thing or two about the football.

The stunning Brazilian went public with her new flame during the week, Aston Villa midfielder Douglas Luiz, and she comes from a footballing family with her dad, Edu, an icon in north London. He spent four years at Highbury as a player, before returning as their first-ever sporting director in 2022.

He left the Gunners over the summer, and hooked up with Nottingham Forest as their Global Head of Football, but that didn’t last too long and he was recently told to stay away from the club after an internal rift.

And throughout her dad’s recent two spells on these shores, Duda has often shared snaps from both the Emirates Stadium and the City Ground.

However, she’s more than just a social-media influencer, and the London-based stunner is also a model. She works as a model for the Sao Paulo-based Mega Model Diversity agency and a member of the talent agency weare.theunknown.

It’s this line of work that has led to her jet-setting lifestyle, sharing jaw-dropping snaps from across the globe.

However, it was in the capital where she recently showed off her beauty, attending London Fashion Week as she watched the Naomi Hart show. Duda wore a bold cropped grey blazer and matching trousers with sunglasses.

Duda went public with Luiz in an Instagram story, as the pair cosied up to each other she told her 57,000 followers in a telltale message alongside the cute snap: “You are my greatest certainty” followed by a heart emoji.

Luiz, in a separate message alongside the same picture taken in a bar, wrote: “Making you happy will be my priority.”

It was not immediately clear today how long the pair have been dating, and whether the Premier League player already knew Duda before his loan period with Nottingham Forest.

Luiz had been in a relationship with Alisha Lehmann, who has been dubbed as the “world’s sexiest footballer”.
