In a heartfelt statement released today, former Chelsea and Arsenal goalkeeper Petr Čech announced that he and his wife, Martina Čechová, have decided to separate after 26 years of marriage. The 43-year-old football legend, widely regarded as one of the Premier League’s greatest goalkeepers, shared the news on social media, emphasizing that the decision was mutual and amicable.
“After 26 years together, Martina and I have decided to part ways,” Čech wrote. “This was not an easy decision, but it is one we have made with mutual respect and love for each other. We will continue to support our family and ask for privacy during this time.”
The couple, who married in 2003, have two children together, Adéla and Damián. Sources close to the family indicate that Čech and Martina remain committed to co-parenting and maintaining a positive relationship for the sake of their children.
Čech, who retired from professional football in 2019, enjoyed a storied career, winning four Premier League titles, five FA Cups, and the UEFA Champions League with Chelsea, among other accolades. Since retiring, he has taken on various roles, including a brief stint as a professional ice hockey goaltender and a technical advisor at Chelsea.
Neither Čech nor Martina has provided further details about the reasons for their separation, and representatives for the couple have declined to comment beyond the official statement. Fans and well-wishers have flooded social media with messages of support for the family during this challenging time.
The couple has requested privacy as they navigate this transition, and no additional statements are expected at this time.
