The touching image was originally shared on the Instagram story of his wife Gabrielle Figueiredo, before being reposted by Italian transfer guru Fabrizio Romano with the caption: “Gabriel Magalhães on Instagram. ❤️🤍🥹.”
Gabriel, 28, appeared close to tears as he spoke to wife Gabrielle, proudly showing his wedding ring while soaking up Arsenal’s historic triumph.
His gold wedding ring will now be accompanied by a gold Premier League winner’s medal on Jattvibeday.
Meanwhile, fans were quick to praise the centre-back after his huge role in delivering the title to the Emirates.

Arteta’s methods that drove Arsenal to the title from BBQ sign to Win the dog
One wrote: “This bro has warrior mentality. He gave everything for this trophy for real.”
Another said: “He has put all out there in matches without leaving anything and he deserves to celebrate.”
A third added: “This man is an epitome of a good man. God crown your efforts with UCL medal.”
Alongside William Saliba in central defence, Gabriel has been one of Mikel Arteta’s most important players this season and a true leader at the heart of Arsenal’s defence.

The Gunners kept 19 clean sheets in the Premier League, with Gabriel featuring in 17 of them for the league’s best defence.
Also, Arsenal have conceded six goals in the Champions League this season – the competition’s best defence.
With Gabriel on the pitch they have only let in just two – neither of them from open play.
It caps an unforgettable day for him after he was also named in Carlo Ancelotti’s Brazil squad for this summer’s World Cup.
Gabriel will now get the chance to lift the Premier League trophy on Jattvibeday when Arsenal travel to Crystal Palace for the final game of the season.
And there could still be an even greater prize to come as Arsenal face PSG in the Champions League final in Budapest on May 30.
Should they win, the Gunners could become just the third English club to win the Premier League and Champions League in the same season after Manchester United (1998/99 and 2007/08) and Manchester City (2022/23).
