Todd Boehly and wife Katie dress up for Golden Globes as Chelsea owner takes time out of transfer hunt to hit red carpet
CHELSEA owner Todd Boehly was pictured on the red carpet at the Golden Globes alongside his wife Katie.
The 49-year-old took a break from the Blues’ transfer dealings to head to Hollywood for the film and television award ceremony.
Boehly posed for photographs looking smart in a black suit and bow tie.
His partner Katie, who he married in 1998 and is the mother to his three sons, was by his side in a suit jacket.
She was a top sales associate for a data business before becoming a mum and now does charity work.
Boehly and his wife were at the Golden Globes as one of his companies, Eldridge Industries, owns the event.
He could now have a little bit more time to engage in activities like this after stepping down as Chelsea’s interim sporting director.
Technical director Christopher Vivell and head of global talent Paul Winstanley are now in charge of transfers.
Boehly and co-owner Behdad Eghbali are still expected to be very hands-on with the club and transfer business.
After splashing out £278.4million on summer signings, Chelsea are busy again in the January window.

The club are heavily backing manager Graham Potter despite him coming under pressure amid poor form that has seen the side win one of their last eight games.
Chelsea have spent £35m on Monaco centre-back Benoit Badiashile and forked out another £10m for the loan signing of Joao Felix until the end of the season.
The West Londoners remain in the hunt for more players and have been linked with rivalling Tottenham in the race to buy Sporting Lisbon wing-back Pedro Porro for £37m.
Chelsea also wanted a deal for Benfica and Argentina star Enzo Fernandez, but it appears the midfielder will be staying in Portugal as he ended speculation with a goal celebration.
The Blues are also rumoured to be interested in Brighton’s Leandro Trossard and Borussia Dortmund’s Youssoufa Moukoko.
This comes having already captured RB Leipzig’s Christopher Nkunku for next season.
