KATE ABDO'S boyfriend Malik Scott insists he is not at all insecure about his partner's relationship with Arsenal legend Thierry Henry.
Abdo, 42, and Henry, 46, work together on CBS Sports and cover the Champions League alongside Liverpool great Jamie Carragher and ex-Manchester City star Micah Richards.
The TV quartet are well known for their banter as they often take friendly swipes at each other while live on studio.
The British presenter and the Arsenal record goalscorer have shown some good chemistry on set in the last three years.
And Scott, 43, who is "crazy in love" and "plans on marrying" Abdo, is not at all intimidated by that and even praises his girlfriend's chemistry with the France great.

The boxing trainer insists that as long the journalist is "not disrespected or irritated" then he has no issue.
That is why the American spoke out on Abdo's recent awkward exchange with Carragher, who launched a misfiring joke about her "loyalty" to him, and even suggested he would "show up in a physical manner so we can talk like men".
Scott told Inclave Casino: “Some people might say what do you think about the jokes about Kate and Thierry? All of that stuff is all good man, I've never been a man who has been insecure in a relationship.
"I don't know how to go about jealousy and things of that nature. I enjoy the show, the relationships, the love, and whatever makes the chemistry pop for the show, as long as Kate is not disrespected or irritated.
“I don't have insecurities or jealousy when someone I'm seeing is working around other men, as long as she's being respectful and she's being respected, I'm totally fine with it.
"None of this is a problem until she's upset or irritated. I love the show, I love the chemistry they all have, I love the antics and it's a beautiful thing.
"It's a very special show and it has a very special girl on there and she's about to be Mrs Scott soon.
“I want everyone to know that Kate is my lady, I want everyone to know that Kate is my future wife, I want everyone to know that I'm crazy in love with her.
"This is someone I've had feelings for like no one else in my life, I'm 43 years old so that says a lot. I've been in a few relationships in my life, but this one is very, very different.

I want my girlfriend to try dirty talk but she won't do it
"It's made me better in a lot of areas of my life. It has made me a lot more structured. I'm still working on other things in my life.
"But when you're dealing with a partner who wants better for you and she leads by example, it makes you want to be better in areas where you need to improve. And that's what I admire most about Kate.
“She's extremely selfless, she's the hardest worker in show business, and it's a relationship I'm proud of. And this being in love with her thing, I would say this is the first time I've been in love.
"I never thought the love thing existed until I felt these feelings I have for Kate.
"Her happiness is my number one priority, her smile is the world to me, I've never watched boxing or filmed studied with my woman next to me - I love it when Kate is right next to me when I'm film studying, that's a very serious thing for me.”
