As a mum of two
girls, is being a
strong female role
model important,
Natalie?
Definitely. I try my best! I’d never say negative
things about myself in front of them. Not long
ago, Marley said: ‘This top makes me look
fat.’ I thought, where have you got that from?
I had to step in and it was quite a complicated
conversation. Her hair was a thing for a while,
but I knew how to handle that as I went through
that. A lot of her friends have long, straight hair
and she went through a phase of asking: ‘Why
isn’t it long? Why can’t it be in certain styles?’
So I got some books like The Mega Magic Hair
Swap! by Rochelle Humes, which really help. 

Henri, what did you think of the Lionesses’
performance in the World Cup this summer?
I thought they did the country proud. It was
great to see the whole country behind them. I
think it’s just the start of what they can do. 

Arsenal players Mesut Ozil and Sead

Kolasinac have taken out 24-hour security

following threats against them after they

were targeted by car-jackers last month. Do

you worry about similar security threats?

Natalie: I get a bit scared in the house,

especially when Henri’s not here. Me and

Marley put the house on lockdown. Henri had

guard dogs until we moved in.

Henri: I had to get rid of them because I wasn’t

always here and I couldn’t leave them with the

girls and the baby, it would have been too much.

But it’s something we’re considering again now.

You’re fundraising for your friend’s son Ryley

to have treatment in the US to help treat

cerebral palsy. Has becoming a father made

you see situations like that differently?

Henri: Definitely. Just sitting down with his

parents makes you realise how much of a toll

it takes on them. They have two girls too. Ryley

loves football and his dad wants to be able to

kick a ball about with him. That’s the dream.

To be able to walk, he has to keep having

Botox in his hamstrings. He’s going to the US

in 18 months for a procedure that should help

more permanently, so we’re holding a golf day

and planning a family fun day to help raise

money for the surgery.
