Thibaut Courtois announces relationship with Israeli model Mishel Gerzig

FORMER Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois has taken to Instagram to pose publicly with his new girlfriend for the first time.

He was spotted with Israeli model Mishel Gerzig earlier this summer, sparking rumours that the pair were together – and now both have revealed that they are officially a couple.

The 29-year-old took to Instagram to reveal his news, posting a picture of him next to the 23-year-old model.

Courtois captioned the post in Hebrew that translates to “The love of my life” to which Gerzig replied, “my love”.

The pair were seen aboard a yacht together in Ibiza after Belgium’s exit from Euro 2020, but the shot stopper didn’t give much away at the time.

But now the pair have gone public, with both of them posting pictures together on Instagram in recent days.

Gerzig has over 180,000 followers on Instagram and represents ITM models.

She took to Instagram this week, posting a picture of her holding hands with Courtois as they shared a laugh, captioning the photo “mi amor” or “my love”.
