Mishel Gerzig: Rising Model and Thibaut Courtois’ Supportive Wife

LONDON, England — Mishel Gerzig, a rising star in the modeling industry and wife of Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois, is making headlines as her husband prepares for a crucial quarter-final match against Arsenal on April 16, 2025. The match is pivotal for Los Blancos as they look to recover from a 3-0 deficit from the first leg.

Born on June 5, 1997, in Israel, Gerzig has gained recognition not just for her relationship with the football star but for her accomplishments in modeling as well. She has worked with prestigious agencies such as Model MGMT, Next Miami, and View Spain. Recently, she earned a spot on the Forbes 30 Under 30 list, expressing her excitement on social media: “Excited to share I was chosen for Forbes 30 under 30! Thankful for this recognition.”

In an interview with the Israeli lifestyle magazine La’Isha, Gerzig shared the story of how she met Courtois. It all began when the goalkeeper reached out to her on social media, commenting on a picture she posted with her pet dog. “He started asking me questions about Israel, about the army,” she recalled. Their first face-to-face meeting took place in April in Madrid, with their relationship becoming romantic when they met again in July.

Courtois proposed to Gerzig in Italy’s picturesque Amalfi Coast, an event she celebrated on Instagram with photos and the heartfelt caption: “Yessss to a lifetime with you.” The couple tied the knot at the Château de la Croix des Gardes in France in 2023, marking a new chapter in their lives.

As the countdown begins for the highly anticipated match against Arsenal, fans are eager to see if Gerzig will be in the stands supporting her husband. The UEFA Champions League match is scheduled for 8 PM on April 16 and is expected to be one of the tournament’s most exciting matchups. SunSport will provide live updates as the action unfolds.
