Cat Harding spills on clashes with Jorginho as Married to the Game star shares parenting disagreement: ‘Challenging’
Married to The Game returns to Amazon Prime Video today, with Gabrielle Figueiredo, Cat Harding, Stephanie Hope, Claudia Rodriguez, and Taylor Ward offering behind-the-scenes insight into what life is like with some of the world’s biggest football stars.
Harding, 34, who is married to Arsenal player Jorginho, spoke to GB News and other press at last week’s global launch of the new series and admitted that the pair have different opinions on their talented young daughter, Ada, nine.
Ada, whom Harding shares with ex-partner Jude Law, shares a very close relationship with Jorginho.
The youngster is an aspiring singer and actress who has already displayed a skill for all things musical.
In season two, fans will see Harding and Jorginho encouraging the youngster to hone her talent, but Harding expresses her belief that Ada should continue to work hard at school as well as her musical ventures.
Jorginho explains how he disagrees, however, believing the schoolgirl should pursue singing and acting above all else.
When asked about how she keeps her children down to earth despite their privileged upbringing, Harding explained to the People’s Channel: “Well, my daughter is really into music and singing and things, so it’s slightly different.
“But in terms of just like the world that we live in, I know I find it like a little difficult sometimes, because I don’t want our children to end up like really spoiled brats, basically.

“So you try to not give them everything and show them like what kind of real life also is.
“It’s quite difficult, but because you want, obviously, them to have the best that you can give them, but not to give them too much that they become lazy and spoiled, basically.”
Touching on her concern about Ada’s education, she continued: “It’s quite challenging, but for Ada, she absolutely loves music and acting and things like this. She just actually had her first in-person audition recently. She did super well.
“But I’m really keen for her to stay in school because I think it’s super important. Let’s see what the future holds.”
Elsewhere, the mother-of-two unashamedly confessed that, unlike some of her co-stars, she takes no interest in football.
“My football knowledge is non-existent and will stay that way into the future,” she laughed.
“I haven’t been to a game in six months… We share the same interests elsewhere, but football is not one.”
Also delving into raising a child with a football star was Marc Cucurella’s girlfriend, Claudia Rodriguez.
She opened up on how her son Mateo, four, the couple’s oldest of three children, had recently been diagnosed with autism.
“It was a bit difficult to understand what was happening to Mateo,” she admitted when asked about her son’s autism.
“You need a lot of time, you have to visit a lot of doctors, and you have to find a problem to find a solution.
“And after that, you have to be a team with your partner. It’s so difficult for the couple, it’s very difficult.
