Roger Federer and Wife Mirka Light Up a Star-Studded Night as Soccer Legend Throws a Grand Bash for His Girlfriend
Okay, let me ask you a simple question: what do you think tennis and soccer have in common? If your response is ‘loads of cash’, I’d counter with ‘Royalty’! And my examples? Roger Federer and Thierry Henry. One reached the historic milestone of 20 Grand Slam titles, while the other dominated European and MLS soccer while winning the Champions League and the World Cup, and a ‘Golden’ Premier League title, an attainment that lets him proudly call himself an ‘Invincible’. And, their camaraderie once again lit up the sporting diligence when cameras captured the Swiss GOAT, alongside his beloved wife Mirka, celebrating the birthday bash of Andrea Rajacic, Henry’s longtime girlfriend.
The close relationship between Roger and Henry is based on mutual companionship. Remember Roger’s 2024 documentary “Federer: Twelve Final Days”? In it, Roger’s twin boys, Leo and Lenny, were spotted wearing a retro Gooner jersey. Later, The Swiss revealed that the kits were gifted by none other than Henry himself. But that’s not all! The 8 time Wimbledon champion also shared the story behind the jerseys and how much joy they brought to his kids, despite them being hardcore FC Basel fanatics.
“The boys are coming back from soccer practice or football practice, and they walk through the elevator and I look at them and then they were in the Arsenal jerseys. I think I say in the film, like, ‘Where’s the FC Basel shirt?’ You know that’s what my favourite club is. The Arsenal jerseys, they had just received shortly before from Thierry Henry who is a good friend of mine, we’ve been on vacation together. He’s a really good friend of ours,” Roger remarked. And he showed up fashionably with her significant other to enjoy the birthday of Titi’s love yesterday.
On the night of 31st January eve, the soccer legend Henry shared a carousel of pictures in his Instagram profile where he was celebrating his girlfriend Andrea Rajacic’s birthday bash, quoting, “Such a fun night celebrating @andrearajacic birthday with the crew.” The photograph depicts Roger and Mirka in glamorous attire; the Swiss GOAT is wearing a burgundy velvet suit and crisp white shirt. Conversely, Mirka captivated the audience with her elegant pink and silver sequined dress, enhanced by softly waved hair.
Other than the group photo of four, the snapshots also caught another soccer icon and Inter Miami’s owner David Beckham, film director Guy Ritchie, and legend from the field of judo, Teddy Riner.
However, this was not the first time that Federer and Henry have caught the attention of fans from both sports.
Federer Enjoys a Dinner Meetup with Henry in Croatia
Soon after his QF loss at the 2021 Wimbledon, Federer withdrew from the Tokyo Olympics due to a knee injury. To take a break, he flew to Mali Lošinj, Croatia, with his wife, Mirka, and then-coach Ivan Ljubičić. While there, the Swiss GOAT crossed paths with Henry once again, who was also visiting Croatia at the same time. The stars enjoyed lunch together, joined by Roger’s wife, Mirka, and his coach.
Interestingly, this wasn’t their first collaboration as who could forget the iconic Gillette commercial that aired in 2018?
Henry has often been spotted courtside, cheering on Roger many times. One of the most notable examples was at the ATP World Tour Finals in London in 2011, where the Frenchman sat alongside another Arsenal legend, Andrey Arshavin, and Spaniard Rafael Nadal as Roger defeated Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in the opening match of his title defense.
Since retiring in 2022, Roger is now enjoying time with his family and close associates and maintains a limited presence on ATP tours. Will we see him in charity matches anytime soon though?
