ARSENAL defender Pablo Mari is currently on loan at Serie A side Monza.
Having joined the Gunners from Flamengo back in 2020, Mari has spent time away from the club in recent years as loan spells in Italy saw him play for Udinese before Monza.
The Spaniard has been sent to hospital in recent days following a stabbing in a Milan shopping centre.
Mari has revealed that he feels lucky to be alive after being stabbed in the back when he was out shopping with his wife, Veronica Chacon, and son, Pablo Jr.
Who is Pablo Mari’s wife Veronica Chacon?
Chacon is a social media influencer and model, with over 21,000 followers on Instagram.
The pair met in Tarragona in Spain, Chacon’s home town, when the defender played for Gimnastic in the third level of Spanish football.
Mari’s wife has been a strong supporter of his career, moving to Brazil with the Spaniard when he joined Flamengo and the pair have since lived in London and Italy.
Are Pablo Mari and Veronica Chacon married and do they have children?
The pair tied the knot in June 2022, nearly seven years since they began dating.
Mari proposed to his wife in 2019 but had to wait over two years for the wedding due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
Mari’s wife gave birth to their first and only son, Pablo Jr, in February of 2018 and decided to name him after his father.
The family currently live in Milan where Mari was sent to hospital after being stabbed but is on course to make a full recovery as Monza’s CEO revealed.
