Fanni Gecsek: Age, Tennis Career and Split from Szoboszlai
Fanni Gecsek, 25, is a former tennis player and Dominik Szoboszlai's ex. Their 2023 split, her famous father, and who the Liverpool star married in 2025.
Fanni Gecsek is a Hungarian former tennis player and model who was Dominik Szoboszlai's girlfriend from the end of 2020 until September 2023. She is not his wife: the couple split in 2023, and the Liverpool midfielder and Hungary captain married Borka Buzsik in March 2025.
Fanni was born on 26 August 2001, so she is 25 as of November 2026. She grew up in Budapest as the daughter of Tibor GĂ©csek, a former European champion in the hammer throw. In this article, OhMyFootball sets out what is actually known about her, with dates and sources, and leaves out the invented height, weight and personality traits that many profiles repeat. Everything here is up to date as of November 2026.
Is Fanni Gecsek Dominik Szoboszlai's wife?
No. Fanni Gecsek and Dominik Szoboszlai were never married. They were a couple for almost three years, from the end of 2020 until September 2023.
On 20 September 2023, the Hungarian newspaper Blikk reported that the couple had split and that their photos together had disappeared from social media. Szoboszlai's agent, MĂĄtyĂĄs EsterhĂĄzy, then confirmed the break-up to the Hungarian sports site Sportal. According to him, Dominik and Fanni decided to separate in complete peace, and he asked the media to respect their privacy. Fanni has not spoken publicly about the split, as far as we could find.
Many people still search for "Szoboszlai's wife" and land on Fanni's name, because most English profiles of her were written in 2023, when Szoboszlai joined Liverpool and she was still his girlfriend.

According to Goal Hungary, Dominik and Fanni got together at the end of 2020, around the time he moved from Red Bull Salzburg to RB Leipzig. They kept the relationship out of the public eye at first, until a photo they shared made it public.
During his two and a half years at Leipzig, Fanni was regularly linked with him in the Hungarian press. When Szoboszlai joined Liverpool in July 2023, British papers including the Daily Mail and the Liverpool Echo wrote profiles of her, as the Hungarian news site 444 noted at the time. The relationship ended about two and a half months after that move.

In October 2024, Szoboszlai proposed at the Four Seasons Hotel Gresham Palace in Budapest, and the two of them announced it in a joint Instagram post with the caption "She said Yes! â€ïžđ". The first photo in that post is a night-time selfie above the Danube and the Chain Bridge:
They married in a small private ceremony in Budapest in March 2025. Two months later, on 19 May 2025, Szoboszlai scored against Brighton and celebrated by putting the ball under his shirt and sucking his thumb, then posted photos of Borka's baby bump on X with the words "3 of us".

His career so far:
- 2017 to 2018: FC Liefering, Red Bull Salzburg's second team in the Austrian second division, where he made his professional debut in July 2017.
- 2018 to 2020: Red Bull Salzburg, winning the Austrian Bundesliga and the Austrian Cup, and making his Champions League debut in September 2019.
- January 2021 to 2023: RB Leipzig, for a reported 20 million euros, which made him the most expensive Hungarian player at the time. He won the DFB-Pokal, the German Cup, in 2022 and 2023.
- July 2023: Liverpool, after the club triggered his release clause for a reported 60 million pounds. He won the League Cup in 2024 and the Premier League title in 2024/25.
- 2025/26: voted Liverpool's men's Player of the Season by the club's supporters.

Szoboszlai has captained Hungary since November 2022. He led the team at Euro 2024, but Hungary missed the 2026 World Cup: on 16 November 2025 they lost their final qualifier 3-2 at home to the Republic of Ireland, with Troy Parrott scoring a hat-trick that included a winner in stoppage time, and finished third in Group F. Marco Rossi is still Hungary's coach, and in October 2026 Szoboszlai started the 1-0 Nations League win over Georgia in Budapest.
In this Hungarian-language interview, made with Red Bull Hungary and released on Musimbe Dennis's YouTube channel in February 2026, Szoboszlai is driven around Budapest by the comedian. According to Goal Hungary, he talks about how he has tried to show his feelings differently since meeting Borka, about his six-month-old daughter, whom he would rather see play tennis than football, and about his career at Liverpool and with Hungary.
