Former Arsenal -wing player Nicolas Pepe returned to the Emirates to dent the preparations for his old party for the new campaign.
The Ivory Coast International scored the opening goal for Villarreal in their collision for the season against the Gunners in North London on Wednesday evening.
Pepe, who left Arsenal last July, almost five years after he arrived at the club in a then record transfer deal worth £ 72 million, pricked home from close by to silence the majority of the Emirates and even a few supporters who had already met any touch.
The 30-year-old, who made a total of 112 performances before the side and was part of the team won the FA Cup in 2020, did not celebrate the lead after giving the LaLala-Outfit.
After leaving the Gunners from the spotlights, Pepe attracted the most attention to his relationship with former adult movie star Teeanna Trump.
Trump confirmed her relationship with the Ivorian after sharing a photo of them together during dinner last December. Pepe was married to French social media influencer Fanny B, but confirmed that split before he was seen with Trump.
In May Trump confirmed that they live together, after the release of a video she posted in which she showed her that she was doing the laundry. The 29-year-old, in a video on Snapchat, joked: 'Crazy how I changed job so quickly. I was a porn star, now I am a girl. '
Pepe was first noticed on a date with Trump last year, so that rumors were revealed that he had divided himself with his old partner with whom he shares two children.
They have dropped several subtle hints about their budding romance on their social media platforms and were made public for the first time last November.
Trump is depicted with a Villarreal shirt and is in the VIP section on the ground of the club of Estadio de la Ceramica.
She also spent time with Pepe's children and shared photos on her Snapchat, while the player revealed that Trump is also the image on the locking screen of his phone.
