Gerzig met Thibaut Courtois via Instagram when the Belgian commented on a post of Gerzig and her dog. Their bond gradually blossomed.

We met again in early July, that’s when the relationship between us became romantic.”

The couple officially announced their relationship in August 2021. In June 2022, Thibaut Courtois proposed to his girlfriend.
