**Supermodel Claudia Schiffer and Husband Matthew Vaughn Invest in FC Brentford**
Fashion icon Claudia Schiffer and her husband, filmmaker Matthew Vaughn, have made a significant move into the world of sports by acquiring a minority stake in English Premier League club FC Brentford. The investment was made via their joint production company MARV, according to a statement from the club.
The exact percentage of ownership and the financial details of the transaction have not been publicly disclosed. However, Schiffer was referred to as "Lady Vaughn" in the FC Brentford announcement, a title she received in April.
Schiffer has shown her support for the Bees on Instagram by wearing a fan shirt, but the announcement does not mention any new support for the club on social media by either Schiffer or her husband.
The couple, who live in England and have three children, are not set to take control of the club. The primary ownership and day-to-day operational control remain with Matthew Benham, who retains the majority ownership.
Schiffer has previously been involved as an ambassador in the German World Cup bid. Her husband, Matthew Vaughn, has made a statement about starting a new chapter in his life, but the details of this new chapter are not known at this time.
Meanwhile, another English club, Eintracht Frankfurt, is on the verge of a mega transfer, though no specific details have been released. The footballing world continues to be a source of intrigue and investment for high-profile figures.
