Lukas Podolski proves time and time again on social media that he is a true family man. Whether photos with his wife or pictures with his three children – the professional footballer regularly allows his fans to share in his happiness as a father. Would you like to know more about his family? Here you will find all the information!
Did Poldi lose a safe game? You can come up here
The “Kölsche Jung” has been married to his partner Monika since April 2011. In 2008 their first child was born: a named son Louis. A daughter was subsequently born in 2016 Maya. In January 2023, Lukas and Monika became parents again: the little one Ella saw the light of day.
Luke’s son Louis is 16 years old
Lucas Podolski occasionally posts photos with his now 16-year-old son Louis on social media. Will Louis one day follow in his famous father’s footsteps? In an interview with “bigFM” in January 2023, Poldi said the following: “I leave the responsibility for the future with my son. If you want to be a footballer, then you have to train and if you want something do something else, like study or play football Choose another career, then pay attention to school and go your own way.
One thing is for sure: whatever path Louis decides to take one day, his father will be there to support him.
Daughter Maya “stole daddy’s heart”
The professional footballer’s Instagram followers have also seen little of Maya from time to time. In January 2021, Poldi shared a photo with the little one and wrote very happy: “This is the girl who stole my heart! And she calls me daddy.”
Little Ella makes perfect family happiness
The 39-year-old has been a proud father of three since January 2023. Little Ella was born in Poland – just like Poldi and his partner Monika. “The fact that Ella was also born in Poland […] something special for us parents,” encouraged Poldi to “Bild” after the birth of the little one.
Ella has also appeared on Poldi’s Instagram account several times – for example in June 2024. During the European Championships, Lúkás not only supported the German national team, but also the Polish team. Of course, a dad-daughter photo partnered with a Polish sweater couldn’t go wrong.
