Real Madrid’s No. 1 Thibaut Courtois proposes to model girlfriend Mishel Gerzig on their trip to Amalfi Coast
Real Madrid’s Thibaut Courtois is set to marry his Israeli model girlfriend Mishel Gerzig after a romantic proposal.
After dating for nearly a year, Belgian soccer superstar Thibaut Courtois decided to take his relationship with Mishel Gerzig to the next level and proposed to the Israeli model. Courtois got on one knee during a summer retreat in a stunning setting on a yacht and Gerzig happily agreed to become his wife to top off the goalkeeper’s dream week.
The Israeli supermodel took to social media and shared snaps of the former Chelsea star’s proposal with the caption, “Yessss to a lifetime with you.” It was fitting the pair announced their relationship on Instagram, as that is where they met when the Belgian slid into Mishel’s DMs.
Courtois publicly announced his relationship with her last year and the couple are extremely supportive of each other’s careers.
Gerzig has been modeling since the age of 13, according to Hebrew media reports, but her fame has increased since she started dating Courtois. The Belgian had a front-row seat during one of her lingerie fashion shows last month and Gerzig is a regular at the Santiago Bernabeu and cheers for him from the stands.
Courtois’ Heroics won Real Madrid their 14th Champions League triumph
Thibaut Courtois revelled in making the difference as his fine goalkeeping performance guided Real Madrid to a Champions League final victory over Liverpool on Saturday last week.
The first-half display included two fine Courtois stops against a close-range Mohamed Salah effort and Sadio Mane drive, but the Belgium international saved his best for after the interval.
Courtois expertly denied Salah three times in the second half, the last of which was particularly impressive as he dived to his right to tip away, with Vinicius Junior nudging Madrid ahead at the other end.
Courtois has led the way among goalkeepers in the competition this season, making the most saves (59) and boasting the highest save percentage of goalkeepers to make five stops or more (80.56).
