The couple married on 17 June 2017 in Tuscany, Italy, according to Daily Cannon's report of the three-day celebration, and as of November 2026 Wilshere is the manager of Luton Town in League One. She keeps most of her life private, so this article sticks to what reliable outlets and the couple's own public posts say.

Who is Jack Wilshere's wife?

Andriani Michael, who goes by Andriani Wilshere since the wedding, is the daughter of Wilshere's barber, as Hello! described her when the engagement was announced in May 2016.

Hello! also reported that they were first linked in the summer of 2015, after Wilshere had split from Lauren Neal, the mother of his two older children. That fits the timeline in his Wikipedia biography, which says he and Neal separated in 2014.

Engagement and wedding

May 2016, engagement: Wilshere proposed at Andriani's surprise 25th birthday party and announced it on Instagram with the words that she "said yes!", as Hello! reported on 17 May 2016.
17 June 2017, wedding: Wilshere wrote on Twitter on 19 June 2017 that he had married on the Saturday, 17 June, and Daily Cannon, an Arsenal news site, reported that the wedding in Tuscany was a three-day event. Its report embedded posts from Wilshere and guests. It named former teammates Wojciech Szczesny and Danny Welbeck among the guests, along with his childhood friend Benik Afobe, and said the singer Craig David performed.
Wedding anniversary post: In an Instagram post tagging her account, Wilshere wrote a caption that begins "Two years ago today, what a two years it has been" and ends with "Happy anniversary babe. Thank you for everything."

Who is Andriani Wilshere?

Here is what can and cannot be said about her.

Birth date and age: No reliable outlet we found publishes her date of birth, so we do not give one or calculate an age. The one dated fact is that Hello! reported she was turning 25 at the party in May 2016. Older versions of this article gave an exact birthday and a zodiac sign. We removed them because we could not source them.
Nationality and origin: We could not find a reliable source for her place of birth or her family background. Nothing more can be confirmed, so we do not state a nationality.
Her father: Hello! called her the daughter of Wilshere's barber. Claims about where the shop is, or about other jobs her father has, appear only on profile sites, so we leave them out.
Work: Some profile sites call her a model. We could not confirm this in a mainstream source, and she does not publicise a career.
Social media: She has an Instagram account, andriani_wilshere. We did not check its follower count, and we do not publish counts for accounts we cannot verify.

Her husband's own public posts show a lot about their life. In a post thanking people for birthday messages, he thanked his wife for making 2017 special and said they were expecting a daughter in 2018.

On Valentine's Day he posted a photo of the two of them on a beach with the caption "My valentine".

Jack Wilshere's children and family

Wilshere has four children, according to the reports we found:

Two older children with Lauren Neal. Hello! reported in 2016 that he had two children with Neal, and Wilshere named them, Archie and Delilah, in his own birthday post shown above. We do not give their birth dates. Wilshere has never been reported as married to Neal, so Andriani is the only wife in his public biography.
Siena, born in May 2018, the couple's first child together. Wilshere announced the pregnancy in his own post (see above) and has spoken about her publicly since.
A younger son, reported as born in 2020. We could not find a post from the couple giving his name or birth date, so we leave them out.

The family and the British Heart Foundation

In May 2024 the British Heart Foundation announced Jack and Andriani Wilshere as ambassadors, after the couple told the charity that their daughter had needed heart surgery. In the charity's announcement Wilshere said that "the surgery has made all the difference and she has so much energy now".

Where is Jack Wilshere now?

As of November 2026 Wilshere is the manager of Luton Town in League One. The club's early November results show how the season is going: a 1-1 draw at league leaders Huddersfield on 3 November left Luton unbeaten in five league games and fourth in League One, according to Sports Mole's FA Cup preview, and on 7 November they beat Forest Green Rovers 2-0 in the FA Cup. He took the job in October 2025 after Matt Bloomfield left, with Chris Powell as his assistant, and the job is a three-year deal according to reports at the time.

How the family story fits his career

The couple's story runs alongside some of the hardest years of Wilshere's playing career. Hello! dated their first links to the summer of 2015, and in August 2015 he broke his fibula and did not return to action until April 2016. He proposed the following month. He married in June 2017, weeks after a second fibula fracture ended his loan season at Bournemouth. Siena was born in May 2018, the same spring he was left out of England's World Cup squad, and a few weeks later he announced he was leaving Arsenal, the club he had joined as a nine-year-old. We do not read more into the dates than that.
