“This was the father of my three children” – Atsu’s wife reacts to her husband’s demise

Christian Atsu’s wife Claire Rupio has reacted to news of the former Chelsea and Newcastle winger’s death.

The devastated Rupio who has three children with Atsu shared a photo of them with two of their kids and acknowledged the receipt of many messages but asked for people to bear with her in the difficult time.

Atsu’s body was found under the rubble and retrieved on Saturday, February 18, 2023, exactly 12 days after he was trapped.

Following the news of the recovery of his mortal remains, Atsu’s partner has asked for privacy to deal with her loss.

In a post on her Instagram stories, the German-born lady shared a photo of a family moment she shared with Atsu and two of their kids.

On the photo, she inscribed that even though she has received loads of messages, she could not attend to them because she was overwhelmed by the situation. “I see all the messages, but as you all can understand, this is [a] very hard time. This was the father of my three children,” she said.
