'For a lifetime' - Newcastle United WAG announces engagement with stunning Instagram pictures
Newcastle United defender Fabian Schar has gone public with his future plans away from football.
Newcastle United defender Fabian Schär followed up on his new contract by agreeing to an even bigger commitment off the pitch.
The Swiss defender and his long-term partner, Alexandra Munger, have announced their engagement on social media.
The pair got engaged in Sorrento, Italy, last week and have now shared the heartwarming news.
Schar posted some engagement photos on his Instagram account along with the caption: “Forever us.”
His fiancée replied: “For a lifetime.”
She then posted a series of photos and videos celebrating her engagement with the caption: “Over the moon.”
After an almost seven-year-long-distance relationship, the pair moved in together in Newcastle last March. And they will be spending at least another year in the city after Schar signed a new one-year deal until June 2027 earlier this month.
On extending his stay at St James’ Park, Schar said: “I’m really pleased to be staying at the club. I feel like I’ve achieved a lot in my eight years here but I believe there is still much more to come.
“I’m proud to call Newcastle home. Everybody knows how happy I am, both in this city and with this club, so I’m very glad to be continuing that for another year.
“Last season didn’t end the way I wanted in terms of my injury, but my full focus now is on getting back to fitness and helping the team achieve our goals next season.”
At 34, Schär’s long-term future at Newcastle remains uncertain, but he has at least made one agreement he will be hoping lasts a lifetime.
