Adult film actress Teanna Trump seems to have confirmed her relationship with former Arsenal player Nicolas Pepe. The ex-Arsenal star, now playing for La Liga team Villarreal, was seen in a photo with Trump during a dinner date.
The image, originally posted by Pepe’s sister Corinne, shows Trump, whose real name is Keanna Nichele Jones, alongside Pepe. Rumours suggest the pair have been dating for five months, and Trump’s post of the photo was accompanied by SamRecks’ ‘situationship’ song.
The 29-year-old adult film star was spotted in the VIP section at Villarreal’s Estadi de la Ceramica for their first game of the season against Atletico Madrid, and has been photographed wearing the team’s shirt. It’s reported that Trump and Pepe have visited Bioparc Valencia and an aquarium together, and Trump has even been seen with Pepe’s children.
The 29-year-old Ivory Coast international has also shared a picture of Trump on his social media. Pepe joined Arsenal in 2019 for a record-breaking £72million when Unai Emery was managing the club.
Despite high expectations following his move from Lille, Pepe struggled to meet his hefty price tag during his time at the Emirates. He scored 10 goals in 29 Premier League appearances in the 2020/21 season, but overall, he managed just 16 goals in 80 league games, reports the Mirror.
Bukayo Saka’s rise to prominence saw Nicolas Pepe’s role at Arsenal diminish, leading to a loan spell at Nice in the 2022/23 season before he left the Gunners on a free transfer in September 2023, despite having a year left on his contract. After a season in Turkey, Pepe moved to Villarreal as a free agent.
Last month, Pepe revealed that he has ‘rediscovered the pleasure of learning a new football culture’ since his move to Spain. Despite his departure from Arsenal, the former Angers star holds no grudges.
“Playing for Arsenal is still a huge part of my career,” he said. “Playing with The Gunners, it’s unforgettable.”
“I won titles [the FA Cup and the Community Shield] with this great club, so it was far from a bad experience. I still remember the good things. The Arsenal chapter, I won’t say it’s behind me. It’s above all something I’ll carry with me until the end of my career. At the time, I had a discussion with Unai Emery that lasted almost an hour. He explained to me how he wanted me to fit into the team, and obviously it convinced me.Honestly, I’ve turned the page. I have no rancour. Frankly, I wish Mikel Arteta the best.”
