Petr Čech Confirms Shock Separation from Longtime Partner Martina

Former Chelsea and Arsenal goalkeeper Petr Čech has confirmed that he and his wife, Martina, are ending their marriage after more than two decades together.

The 42-year-old Czech football icon, known for his incredible saves and trophy-laden career, made the announcement in a statement, stressing that the decision was mutual and taken with deep respect for one another.

Čech and Martina met in their teenage years, long before his rise to football stardom. The couple share two children and have vowed to prioritise co-parenting as they move forward separately.

During his time at Chelsea, Čech won four Premier League titles, four FA Cups, and the UEFA Champions League, cementing his place as one of the greatest goalkeepers in Premier League history. He later joined Arsenal before retiring in 2019, but has since remained active in football and even ventured into ice hockey.

Messages of support have been pouring in from fans and fellow players wishing both Petr and Martina well as they navigate this new chapter in their lives.
