Gündoğan, 33, and Sara Arfaoui, 29, have been together since early 2021, although they managed to keep their relationship private for several months.

 It wasn’t until July 2021 that they publicly confirmed their love, with Sara first sharing the news on Instagram. 

The couple got married in 2022 and have since welcomed their first child, further strengthening their bond.

Gündoğan, of Turkish descent, and Sara, of Moroccan descent, are a power couple known for their low-profile but deeply affectionate relationship. 

The former Germany international returned to Manchester City in the summer of 2024 after a one-year stint with Barcelona.

Since his return to the Premier League, the former Barca star has made four appearances for the league leaders so far.
