In a surprising revelation on social media, Shanga Forsberg, the wife of Emil Forsberg, a prominent midfielder for the New York Red Bulls, has announced their imminent separation.
The announcement was made through a detailed Instagram post where Shanga accused her husband of neglecting his responsibilities towards their family and effectively cutting off communication with them since his move to the United States.
Emil Forsberg, who recently joined the Red Bulls from RB Leipzig, quickly rose to the position of captaincy within the team, contributing to their commendable 3-1-1 start this season.
However, Shanga’s statement indicates a stark contrast between his professional success and his personal obligations. She highlighted the lack of communication from Forsberg since his relocation to the US, which has left her and their two children in Sweden feeling isolated and unsupported.
Expressing her emotions, Shanga emphasized the difficulty of making the decision to separate after almost two decades together. Despite her enduring love and support for Forsberg, she expressed her disappointment in feeling taken for granted and overlooked, attributing their marital discord to his new life in New York.
Having been together for 19 years and married in 2016, the couple now finds themselves at a crossroads as they face the impending divorce proceedings. While Forsberg has not yet publicly addressed the situation, he remains focused on his professional commitments, currently representing the Swedish national team in international duties.
