Laura Zielińska: Piotr Zieliński's Wife, Family and Career
Who is Laura Zielińska (born Słowiak)? Piotr Zieliński's wife, their 2019 wedding, two children, her studies and his Inter career in 2026.
Laura Zielińska (also written Laura Zielinska, born Laura Słowiak) is the wife of the Polish midfielder Piotr Zieliński. According to Polish media they married in 2019, and as of November 2026 he plays for Inter in Serie A and for Poland.
The couple are parents to two children: a son born in May 2021 and a daughter born in May 2025, both births announced by the parents on Instagram. Laura keeps her private life low-key, so this article only uses what reputable outlets have reported or what the couple posted themselves, and it says plainly what is not public.
Who is Laura Zielińska?
Laura Zielińska was born Laura Słowiak, a name the Polish press, including Super Express and WP SportoweFakty, used for her before the wedding. She is Polish and moved abroad with her partner when his career took him to Italy.
On education, Super Express reports that she was admitted to the Medical University in Wrocław to study medical analytics. We could not find a reliable outlet that confirms her degree year or her current job. Super Express has also described her as a model (a 2018 headline calls her a "fotomodelka"), and a piece published in autumn 2024 argued that she is not a typical footballer's wife. The old version of this page called her a "medical analyst working in Italy"; we could not source that, so it is no longer stated as fact.
How old is Laura Zielińska?
Her date of birth and age are not published by a reliable outlet, so we do not give one. Earlier versions of this article listed a precise birthday and zodiac details taken from unsourced fan sites; those have been removed.
How Laura and Piotr met
Both come from Ząbkowice Śląskie, the small Lower Silesian town where Piotr was born, and that is where they met, according to WP SportoweFakty (November 2024). The same outlet reports that they officially became a couple while he was playing for Empoli, on loan from Udinese between 2014 and 2016, and that he proposed in 2017. In 2024 it described them as having known each other for more than ten years. We have not found an interview in which either of them tells the story in detail.
Wedding: when did Piotr Zieliński marry?
Super Express and other Polish outlets reported in mid-June 2019 that Zieliński had married Laura Słowiak, with a follow-up piece mentioning a guest flying to Poland for it. WP SportoweFakty later wrote that they married near their home town of Ząbkowice Śląskie; we could not find a reliable source for the exact date or venue.
Do Piotr and Laura Zielińska have children?
Yes. Zieliński announced in December 2020, after scoring for Napoli in the Europa League against Real Sociedad, that the couple were expecting their first child, and a boy followed in May 2021: on 29 May Zieliński announced the birth of Maksymilian on Instagram, Super Express reported. On 26 May 2025, Mother's Day in Poland, Laura announced on Instagram the birth of their daughter, Maja Melissa, as WP SportoweFakty reported. We avoid child-focused material, so this article shows no photos of the children.
Laura Zielińska on Instagram
Her Instagram handle is @_laurazielinska (profile). In summer 2021, after their son was born, Super Express wrote about a photo of the couple's pram that she shared on Instagram. We do not quote follower numbers because we could not check them, and we have not embedded any posts.
