In 2005, Eden Hazard got his first big contract and was required to move abroad to Lille from Tubize. By then, he was in a serious relationship with Natacha. She was unable to move with him to France immediately, as she was still a student. She remained in Belgium and completed her studies.

Natacha and Eden Hazard moved in together in France after she graduated high school, at the tender age of 18.

Natacha got pregnant with their first child when Eden was 19. She gave birth to their son, Yannis, on December 19, 2010. Some sources believe she was still in school when she gave birth to Yannis.

Their second child, Leo, was born in February 2013. Their third child, Samy, was born in September 2015.

Eden is a family-oriented person. His eldest son, Yannis, has been seen on the pitch with him and the ‘Chelsea’ squad during one of their laps of honor.

Eden believes getting married to Natacha and having three children with her has affected his football career for the better. He once stated, “I’m lucky that I got married early and had kids.” He feels Natacha has kept him away from distractions and makes sure he stays home and gets enough rest, which is essential for focusing on his football career.
