International football player Jorginho is known not just for his skills on the pitch but also for his role as a devoted father to four children from two different relationships. The Brazilian midfielder, who has been playing for Arsenal F.C. since January 2023, shares two children with his ex-wife Natalia Leteri and two with his current partner, Catherine Harding.

Jorginho’s journey into fatherhood began with Leteri, with whom he had a daughter named Alicia and a son called Vitor. The couple married in 2017 after being together for over eight years, but their relationship ended in divorce in 2019. While the details of their separation remain private, Jorginho has maintained a loving relationship with their children, who have occasionally been seen attending his matches.

In 2020, Jorginho became a father for the third time when he welcomed a son, Jax, with Catherine Harding, a singer known for her appearance on The Voice UK. Harding is also a mother to Ada, a daughter from a previous relationship with actor Jude Law. Jorginho has taken on the role of stepfather to Ada, who has gained attention due to a recent controversy involving her.

In March 2026, Jorginho came to Ada’s defence after she was allegedly confronted by a security guard of pop singer Chappell Roan. Jorginho claimed that Ada, then 11 years old, simply smiled at Roan while walking past her table in a hotel restaurant, and was subsequently approached in an aggressive manner by the guard. The incident left Ada visibly upset, prompting Jorginho to speak out about the importance of respecting children and maintaining proper boundaries.
Roan later addressed the situation, insisting that she did not instruct anyone to speak to the child and that she was unaware of the exchange. She stated that the security team wrongly assumed the child posed a threat, highlighting the need for more understanding regarding children’s interactions in public settings.
As a father, Jorginho is subtly involved in the lives of all his children while respecting their privacy. He has made a few public appearances with Vitor and Alicia but has chosen to keep many details of their lives out of the limelight. Vitor has attended some of his father’s matches, including the 2022 Finalissima, where Italy faced Argentina.
Alicia has also been spotted at various games supporting her father, often seen displaying affection for him after matches. Jorginho’s partnership with Harding has brought a new dynamic to the family, which Harding describes as a lively mix of personalities. In a 2024 interview, she described the experience of having all four children together as “absolute chaos,” but highlighted the joy and love they share as a blended family.
The couple’s youngest child, Jax, has also made appearances at public events. Born on August 27, 2020, he is often seen wearing matching Arsenal gear alongside his siblings during match days, and even attended the premiere of his parents’ reality series, “Married to the Game.” Harding expressed on social media that she and Jorginho had spent months dreaming about Jax’s arrival and that he exceeded their expectations.
Despite the ups and downs of his personal life, Jorginho continues to balance his career with his commitment to his children. His ability to navigate fatherhood amid the pressures of professional football reflects his dedication to his family, making him not only a star on the field but also a pivotal figure in the lives of his four children. As he continues to develop in his career, it is clear that Jorginho’s most cherished role remains that of a father, a position he holds with great pride.
