Olga took to Instagram to reveal that she is starting a new life with her daughters in China.

“Well hello there China, I'm finally ready to face you... New home, new challenges, new adventures and new beginnings #Tianjin #China #NiHao,” the Russian beauty wrote alongside a photo on her Instagram.

Mikel and Olga started dating in 2013 after reportedly meeting him in London where her late dad ran a chain of businesses.

The couple has two daughters, the twins Mia and Ava they welcomed in September 2016.

Mikel’s partner and his daughter now in China would make the former Chelsea star continue to settle in China.

On the pitch, it has not been a great start for Mikel’s new side Tianjin TEDA who have just one point from two games.
