Its beginnings were in a pandemic, so they had to wait a while to meet in person. However, the connection was immediate: “As soon as we saw each other in person we felt butterflies in our stomachs, or whatever you want to call it. We connected right away, it was as if we already knew each other.”
The romantic request for a hand
Courtois got romantic during his summer in Positano and on a boat he declared his undying love to his now fiancée. “I already planned to give him the ring in January, but I preferred to wait for the right moment. Mishel loves the sea, so I planned everything for the summer,” says the Belgian, who distributed mobile phones and tablets among the crew to help him to record the moment.
His fiancée’s relationship with his children
In 2018, Courtois ended his relationship with the mother of his two children, martha diaz. During their time together, the rumors of infidelity by the goalkeeper were incessant. However, Marta and Courtois maintain an excellent relationship for the little ones Adriana y Nicholaseight and six years old.
The same thing happens between the athlete’s ex and his girlfriend. Although they are not friends, they get along very well for the sake of the children. In fact, they have been seen together in their sports competitions and they are delighted to now have a “plus mom”. “I know there is a mother in the photo and I really respect that. I am Adriana and Nicolás’s friend, they know they can count on me for whatever they need. They are incredible,” admits Mishel. “My ex and I have a very good relationship, she lives next door, we are a big family,” he adds.
Such is Mishel Gerzig
The 26-year-old was born in Tel Aviv, Israel. “I grew up on the beach, barefoot. My childhood was very happy. Of course, as soon as I could I began to contribute to the family economy. My parents had two jobs to support my sister and me,” she explains.

(…) It was an intense experience, but special, to sum it up in some way.” When she finished her military service, she focused on her work on the catwalks and now she is the face of international brands like Guess.
Mishel has made Madrid her home in recent years. He has great friendships with other Real Madrid ‘WAGs’, such as Daphne Canizares (woman of Dani Carvajal), Sandra Garal (fiancee of Marco Asensio), Mina Bonino (girlfriend of Federico Valverde) y Shalimar Heppner (wife of david praises). “We have a WhatsApp group.
