Trouboul has been a key supporter of Raya’s career at Arsenal and with the Spanish national team

“It’s been two days since the news and I still can’t believe it,” she revealed.

‘Thank you very much for all the messages we are receiving. Being on a cloud and seeing how the people around us encourage us even more fills our hearts.’

Raya and Trouboul began dating in 2021 before going public with their relationship a year later.

The model had originally split her time between Spain and London, while the couple now live together in North London.

The couple’s home is protected by an XL Bully dog ​​after Raya received an exemption certificate after a ban came into effect in February earlier this year.

Trouboul has been at several crucial moments in Raya’s career in recent years as the goalkeeper has enjoyed a significant rise.

She was in attendance when he signed for Arsenal on an initial loan deal last year, with Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta snapping a photo of the pair at the Gunners’ training ground.

Raya was initially expected to battle it out for the No.1 shirt with Aaron Ramsdale, but quickly became Arsenal’s first-choice goalkeeper.

The couple live in north London with their dog XL Bully Goku, who Raya got an exemption to help protect her home after a series of terrifying attacks on footballers’ homes.

Trouboul also supported Raya during this summer’s European Championships in Germany.

The goalkeeper played just one group stage match at the tournament, keeping a clean sheet against Albania.

Raya and Trouboul celebrated on the pitch after Spain were crowned European champions, beating England 2-1 in the final.

The Arsenal star has been a crucial part of their title-challenging side, winning the Premier League Golden Glove last season by keeping 16 clean sheets in 32 games.

He has enjoyed another impressive start to this campaign, with Arsenal unbeaten in the top flight after seven games and one point behind leaders Liverpool and level with second-placed Man City.

Raya shared news of her engagement ahead of the club’s trip to Bournemouth on Saturday afternoon’s kick-off.

Arsenal would go top of the table with a win, with Liverpool and reigning champions Man City playing on Sunday.
