Remember the viral video of Andy Robertson singing, “Marry me, Szoboszlai, you will never have to be alone” to the tune of Taylor Swift’s ‘Love Story’. That funny clip came after Liverpool midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai recently announced his engagement to Hungarian influencer Borka Buzsik. While his name may be difficult to spell, it was not hard for the handsome Hungarian to find love.

The captain of the Hungary National team joined Liverpool in July 2023 for $73 million, making him the club’s 4th most-expensive signing. He recently went public about his relationship with Borka Buzsik in July this year, after Hungary’s Euro 2024 campaign. Taking to Instagram, he shared the news of his engagement with his 2.7 million followers. So far, the midfielder has been shining both on and off the pitch.

The 24-year-old proposed Borka Buzsik, at the luxurious Four Seasons Hotel Gresham Palace in Budapest. Szoboszlai captioned the post “She said Yes! ❤️💍” with Borka proudly showing off her engagement ring. Teammates Caoimhin Kelleher, Trent Alexander-Arnold, and Ryan Gravenberch all congratulated the couple in the comments. 

Borka Buzsik hails from Székesfehérvár, Szoboszlai’s hometown in Hungary. As per Origio, the couple have known each other since childhood. She graduated from Corvinus University of Budapest with a degree in economics and management. She also has experience working for brands like Calzednoia, H&M, and Tomán as a PR (Public Relations) specialist. 

Beyond her personal life, Borka has made a name for herself as a model and influencer, sharing glimpses of her personal life, with more recent images of the Liverpool player. After announcing their engagement, her follower count rose from 8000 to more than 40,000. For Borka, Dominik is not the only football player in the Szoboszlai family. 

Football talent runs deep in the Szoboszlai family

Dominik Szoboszlai was born in Székesfehérvár to Zsanett (née Németh) and former footballer Zsolt Szoboszlai, who played in the lower leagues of Austria. In an interview with PL, the Hungarian captain revealed that his strong relationship with his father played a key role in shaping his footballing career. His mother, Zsanett was a former handball player, and currently a teacher by profession. 

As the oldest of two siblings, he has a younger brother, Benedek, and a sister, Zsuzsanna. There isn’t much available information about them. For Dominik, Ferenc Puskás was his idol growing up. And yes, we see the Hungarian connection as well.

Currently, his Liverpool side sits at the top of the Premier League table. As the third Hungarian player to represent the Merseyside club, he has the opportunity to make history at Anfield, especially with Manchester City suffering. Since Arne Slot took over, the Reds have been playing some of their best football ever. Will the Hungarian be able to translate his off-field achievements onto the pitch? Only time will tell.
