In terms of sport, things are not going well for Mesut Özil (33), but family is all the better. The 2014 World Champion has become a dad for the second time!
After daughter Eda (2), her sister Ela has now seen the light of day. Two years separate the two, but only one letter. An unusual choice of name. Özil posted a picture of the cute newcomer today.
Özil has been married to actress Amine Gülşe Özil (29) since 2019. At their wedding, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan (68) was the best man.
Mesut Özil has been under contract with the Turkish club Basaksehir FK since the summer and wears jersey number 10. But so far he has only played ten minutes in six games in the Süper Lig. In the duel against Kayserispor on Matchday 3, he came on as a substitute in the 80th minute.
