Summary
- Aymeric Laporte's wife, Sara Botello, is a professional ballet dancer.
- The couple married in June 2023 and has two children.
- Spain's defense has only conceded one goal in the 2026 World Cup.

Spain's formidable defense, the best at the 2026 FIFA World Cup and having conceded just one goal, has been crucial to their semifinal progression. Aymeric Laporte is a central figure in this strong back line, having started in all of Spain's matches so far.
Away from the pitch, Laporte is married to Sara Botello, a professional contemporary ballet dancer and former cheerleader. The couple met during Laporte's early career in Spain and tied the knot in June 2023. They have two children together: a son, Lucay, born in August 2021, and a daughter, born in May 2024.
Botello, originally from Bilbao, pursued dance after a childhood in futsal. Laporte recently celebrated his return to Bilbao by posing with his wife and children on the field, a moment shared by Botello on social media.
