Belgian goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois' wife, Israeli model Mishel Gerzig, has been enjoying her time in the United States during the World Cup, sharing glimpses of her trip on social media. Her presence comes as her husband prepares to face the U.S. men's national team in a highly anticipated Round of 16 match.
Gerzig posted photos on Instagram from Los Angeles on July 4, showing her, Courtois, and their daughter at the beach. The post featured her wearing a blue bikini and was captioned, "Fun days in LA 🩵🌴🌅." Courtois responded to the post with a series of heart emojis.
The couple married in 2023 after connecting on Instagram in 2021. They have one daughter together, and Courtois also has two children from a previous relationship.
This World Cup match marks a significant moment for the U.S. team, described as the biggest game in its history. The anticipation is heightened by the situation surrounding U.S. star striker Folarin Balogun, whose red card in a previous game led to a suspension that has been a point of contention, with Belgium's appeal against the decision being denied.
