Who is Arsene Wenger’s daughter Lea? Arsenal legend’s only child with ex-wife Annie Brosterhous
LEA WENGER is the only child of Arsenal legend Arsene Wenger.
The former Gooner gaffer, 75, has been fiercely protective over his private life, but here is what we know about his daughter.
Who is Lea Wenger?
Lea is the daughter of Arsene Wenger.
She was born in 1997 to the former Arsenal manager and then-girlfriend Annie.
As a child she grew up at the couples' North London home and it was rumoured she urged the pair to tie the knot in 2010.
Lea is a Cambridge University graduate, where she earned a BA in Physiology, Development and Neuroscience.
She also achieved a MVST in Veterinary Medicine.
After graduation, she returned to Cambridge to complete a PhD in Clinical Neurosciences and become a Doctor of Philosophy.
According to her LinkedIn profile, Lea worked as a visiting researcher at the European Bioinformatics Institue for four years while undertaking her PhD.
She was also president of The Ospreys, a Cambridge University group that promotes women in sport.
Lea was also an Embryology Supervisor for the Uni during her studies.
After gaining her doctorate in 2022, she went on to work for Altos Labs, a biotech company "focused on restoring cell health and resilience through cell rejuvenation to reverse disease, injury, and the disabilities that can occur throughout life".
Lea recently founded Cycle Therapeutics in March 2025, where she acts as the CEO.
The company's mission is to "cure endometriosis".
Their website read: "We are a team of interdisciplinary scientists creating a new model in women's health research centred around an in depth understanding of tissue-level disease processes.
"We are committed to improving the quality of life of women by providing a new model for therapeutic discovery.
"We sit at the interface between tissue biology, computation and laboratory disease modelling."
Endometriosis is a disease where tissue similar to the lining of the womb can grow in other places.
It can cause women to have difficulty getting pregnant and endure severe period pain, fatigue, bleeding and anxiety.
Lea was pictured attending the Champions League semi-final first-leg clash between Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain on April 29, 2025.
She was seen alongside her father in an executive box.
Who is her mum Annie Brosterhous?
Annie is a former French Olympic basketball player who began her relationship with Arsene in the mid-90s.
The pair lived together in a mansion in Totteridge, London, and welcomed daughter Lea in 1997.
After nearly two decades together, Arsene and Annie married in 2010.
However, they separated in 2015 amid reports that Arsene was in a relationship with a younger woman.
Annie was previously married to French basketball player George Brosterhous, with whom she has two children.
