German football star Mesut Ozil has confirmed his relationship with Swedish-Turkish model and actress Amine Gulse.

The Arsenal midfielder took to his official Instagram account to share a picture of himself with the 2014 Miss Turkey winner.

“I love you #love,” he captioned the image – along with a heart emoticon – to his 14.8 million followers.

Gulse, too, posted the same image to 1 million followers of her own, with the same caption.

Notably, this is the first time that Ozil (29) and Gulse (24) have publicly shown love for each other even as they are believed to be seeing each other since 2015.

I love you❤️
