Antoine Griezmann Marries Erika Choperena in Secret Ceremony

Antoine Griezmann married his long-term partner Erika Choperena in a secret ceremony at Palacio de Galiana in Toledo, Spain, on Thursday.

The 26-year-old France striker exchanged vows with Choperena, with whom he has a one-year-old daughter, in an intimate ceremony attended by several Atletico Madrid teammates, including Juanfran, Koke, and Kevin Gameiro.

Griezmann's wedding took place at the 11th-century Palacio de Galiana, a celebrated beauty spot in the old Spanish capital, with Spanish media revealing the news on Friday.

A short video on Griezmann's Instagram account showed the player popping a champagne cork at a poolside celebration, marking a joyful occasion for the newlyweds.

Barcelona star Lionel Messi is also due to get married later this month, with the Argentine international set to wed Antonella Roccuzzo in his hometown of Rosario on June 30, as reported by Spanish daily El Mundo, which noted the surprise of Griezmann's wedding on the media.
