Kobbie Mainoo's family: Everything you need to know, celebrity brother & more
Mainoo’s family supported him greatly to become a professional football player.
The midfield technician, Kobbie Mainoo, who debuted in the Premier League in November 2023, has already drawn similarities to the legendary Clarence Seedorf. He won the MOTM in that game, which should come as no surprise, and he hasn’t looked back. Kobbie Mainoo is now making waves after earning a call-up to Euro 2024 and performing like a regular in the team. However, not much is known about his off-field life.
Off the field, Mainoo is a modest, easygoing person despite his bravado on it. His close-knit family has played a major role in his quick ascent. Who are the unseen heroes behind one of the nation’s greatest athletes? Let’s investigate below.
Kobbie Mainoo & his family’s story
Felix, Kobbie Mainoo’s father, helped his son grow as a footballer early on in addition to being a caring parent. Without his efforts, Mainoo might not have been able to attend the United Academy. He made sure his kid got the greatest training possible. Felix first met Kobbie’s mother, Abena Herold, in England. Abena had left Ghana, just like Felix.
Abena and Felix became close in England and eventually got married. Before Kobbie was born, the couple had a son and two daughters, Ama and Elfia. Ama studied sports business management, and Efia today owns a company in Manchester.
Despite their divorce, Abena and Felix remain together in the support of their superstar son. Furthermore, there is no solid proof of the English player‘s romantic status. The midfield prodigy, however, has his entire life ahead of him at the age of 19.
It’s interesting to note that Kobbie Mainoo may not even be a famous household member! Another well-known person is his brother, Jordan Mainoo-Hames.
Kobbie Mainoo’s celebrity brother Jordan Mainoo-Hames
Following his career as a model, Jordan Mainoo-Hames became a well-known figure in the fashion world. He has previously worked with well-known companies including Louis Vuitton and Vogue. Nevertheless, Jordan was a gifted soccer player before he became a fashion model.
He actually played for teams like Rochdale and Manchester City! Unfortunately, his soccer career was cut short by a string of injuries. He consequently altered his course and experienced considerable success.
Notably, in 2019, Kobbie Mainoo’s brother had an appearance on the popular UK show Love Island. He developed a romantic relationship with Anna Vakili, but he was evicted by public vote, therefore his stay on the show was brief. At his club, Kobbie is known as “Love Island” because of his brother.
Jordan will be delighted to see his younger brother succeed, even though his soccer career ended in regret.
