33 -year-old Spanish media personality Marta Dominguez is most famous as the longtime girlfriend of Belgian footballer Thibaut Courtois and the mother of his two children. The pair dated for several years before parting ways in 2017 following several infidelity issues on Thibaut’s end.
Despite other relationships that complicated his personal life and almost marred his reputation, Thibaut managed to finally find love and tie the knot with the Israeli model, Mishel Gerzig, in June 2023.
Marta’s Relationship With Thibaut
Marta and Thibaut started dating in 2012 after first meeting at a bar while she was on the night shift. At the time, the goalkeeper was playing for Atletico Madrid, while Marta was studying at Universidad Autonoma and also working as a salesperson in a clothing store and bar.
Their relationship quickly grew, and Marta made a decision to leave the university to be with Thibaut. The two were together for five years, but their relationship was marked by instability due to his infidelity. This ultimately led to their breakup in 2017. However, some sources reported that the goalkeeper attributed the separation to the challenges of maintaining a long-distance relationship.
During their time together, Marta and Thibaut became the parents of two children. Their daughter Adriana was born on May 29, 2015, and is currently 9 years old, while their son Nicolas, 7, was born on May 2, 2017, just a few months before the breakup in 2017.
Despite the end of their romantic relationship, Marta and Thibaut have remained present in each other’s lives as friends and co-parents to their children.

He revealed that he found out about the relationship through a mutual friend who already knew of their secret affair, and this caused a conflict between the teammates. He also added that, at the time, their boss contemplated dropping Thibaut from the team due to the dispute.

This went on for a while until Elsa became pregnant, and this complicated their relationship. The ex-Chelsea player wasn’t happy about the situation, as it would put his reputation on the line.
As such, he presented her with an ultimatum, asking her to choose between him and the baby. Eventually, they decided to end their relationship when Elsa was five months pregnant.
Elsa later birthed her son, Enzo, in the same month Courtois broke up with Marta.
