Arsenal captain Martin Ødegaard and his girlfriend Helene Spilling have recently shared a series of heartwarming photos on social media, showcasing their affection for a new puppy. The couple, who went public with their relationship last summer, have been relatively private since then but delighted fans with this latest glimpse into their lives.

In the photos, Ødegaard and Spilling are seen tenderly cuddling the adorable puppy, with one image capturing them holding the dog and another showing Ødegaard enjoying a moment on a bike in a park. These images are a rare treat for fans, as the Norwegian midfielder has been notably reserved about sharing personal snapshots.

Spilling, a talented dancer who triumphed on Norway’s version of Strictly Come Dancing, “Skal vi Danse”, in 2021, has about 135,000 Instagram followers. Her posts often feature her dance performances and snapshots of her daily life.

Ødegaard, 25, has been in excellent form for Arsenal, who recently secured a commanding 4-1 victory over Newcastle. With Arsenal currently just two points behind Liverpool and one behind Manchester City, Ødegaard’s focus remains firmly on his team’s pursuit of the Premier League title. Arsenal’s next challenge is a trip to Sheffield United at Bramall Lane on Monday.
