Thierry Henry and Andrea Rajačić have been partners for more than 16 years. They met in Spain and have built a grounded and close-knit family together, which is out of the public eye. Andrea is not just his family but his emotional anchor, especially since his soccer career is pretty famous and challenging. He dominates the soccer industry while she provides the vital stability and emotional support that allows him to thrive in the high-pressure coaching and broadcasting roles. 

So let’s get to know more about her and how their love story started all those years ago. 

Who is Thierry Henry’s girlfriend, Andrea Rajačić?

Andrea is a Bosnian entrepreneur and a former corporate sales professional. She is also the long-term partner of French football legend Thierry Henry. She was born on November 30, 1986, and completed her high school education in Kuwait. Her father, a prominent plastic surgeon, worked there for two decades, which led the family to relocate to the Middle East. 

She then enrolled at the University of Mary Washington in Fredericksburg, Virginia, in 2003 and graduated in 2007 with a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration and Italian.

Andrea is extremely qualified and later completed post-graduate studies at Esade, in Barcelona, from 2009 to 2010. 

What are Andrea Rajačić’s height and age? 

Andrea is 39 years old as of 2026 and will turn 40 on November 30. She stands 5 feet 7 inches tall.

As for her faith, she is a Christian. Even though the couple is not legally married, Thierry Henry refers to her as his wife. Andrea Rajačić comes from an Eastern Orthodox Christian background, closely tied to her Serbian-Bosnian heritage. Her family names (Rajačić, Nebojša, Tatjana) and her birthplace of Sarajevo reflect those roots. Despite their different cultural and religious backgrounds—Thierry Henry being of French-Guadeloupean and Martinique descent—the couple has focused on raising their three children with a blend of French and Bosnian traditions.

How did Thierry Henry and Andrea Rajačić meet?

The couple met in Spain back in 2008 while Henry was playing as a forward for FC Barcelona. Andrea was visiting Spain because her younger sister, Jovana, was living there at the time. Her path crossed with the French football star, who had just relocated to Barcelona from London, where he was playing for Arsenal in the Premier League.

According to football retrospectives, Henry was going through a highly challenging personal and professional change following his stressful £10 million divorce from Claire Merry in late 2007. Meeting Andrea provided him with critical emotional peace, helping him recover his form to win the historic continental treble with Barcelona the following season.

The couple officially began dating in 2008 and kept their initial romance under wraps to protect their privacy. In December 2008, they were finally spotted publicly for the first time by the paparazzi while on vacation in the Maldives. 

The Irish Independent and Eastern European media officially identified Henry’s beau as Andrea in 2010, and finally, in February of the same year, they made their official public appearance. The couple attended a Formula One testing session in Barcelona. However, the couple is still not officially married even after 16 years of relationship. 

What does Andrea Rajačić do for a living?

Andrea Rajačić is an entrepreneur, former corporate sales executive, and model. Through the years, she has created an autonomous career largely centered within the fashion, entertainment, and business sectors, gathering a personal net worth estimated between $1 million and $5 million. 

Andrea has a degree in Business Administration. Before completing her postgraduate degree, she lived in New York City and worked in corporate sales at Milk Studios, a well-known media company in the fashion, photography, and music industries. She also co-founded the digital fashion and lifestyle platform thenewyorkissue.com, which she managed until late 2012. In addition, she has launched her own fashion accessories line.

Although Rajačić has publicly said that she considers management, not modeling, to be her primary background, she has extensive experience as a model. She has worked with several high-profile international fashion brands and continues to collaborate with various brands.

Thierry Henry and Andrea Rajačić’s Children

Henry was already a dad before he met Andrea. He was married to Claire Merry, with whom he had a daughter, Tea Henry. After their divorce, he met Andrea, and together, they had three kids.

In 2024, Henry revealed to The Times that after his long soccer career, which took him to so many places, from London to New York to Barcelona, home was now where his family was.

“My mindset did change [after having kids]. I did slow down,” he said. “When you start a family, home is where your family is. I had three kids born in London, one born in New York, and now my family will dictate.” 

He and Andrea welcomed Tristan Henry in August 2012, and he is 13 years old right now. He was born in London.

After that, the couple was blessed with another child, a daughter whom they named Tatiana. She was born in August 2015 and is 10 years old. She, too, was born in London like her older brother. Their youngest child is Gabriel “Gabi” Henry, who was born in late 2016. 

However, Henry’s first child, Téa, with his previous wife, is 21 years old now and the oldest of his four children. She was born in May 2005 during the peak of Henry’s iconic career at Arsenal. In a famous football anecdote, Henry once shared that when Téa was a child, she would cry when he came home because she rarely saw him between matches. To help her understand his job, he took her to see his bronze statue at Emirates Stadium right after it was unveiled.

In a candid 2024 interview on The Diary of a CEO podcast, Henry revealed that his children “saved” him from his long-running battles with clinical depression, teaching him how to slow down and be a better father.
