Joshua Zirkzee made waves as an emerging talent with impressive starts to his footballing careers in both Germany and Italy before signing with Manchester United for PS36.5 million in January of 2018. Following an impressive debut goal against Fulham, Zirkzee’s performance subsided into an underwhelming year marked by infrequent goalscoring performances and professional setbacks – as well as personal hardships such as ending his relationship with Celina Kerr from their days together during Zirkzee’s Bundesliga days in 2017 when it seemed they may have become long term sweethearts once – when moving across to England upon Zirkzee signing.
Who Exactly is Celina Kerr?
Celina Kerr was born and educated in the Netherlands before studying Media and Communication Management in Berlin at 24 years old. Preferring privacy over public disclosure, little is known of her family background or how they met. Since then she has pursued an independent path as both model and social media influencer with endorsements from multiple high-profile brands as well as exceeding 100,000 Instagram followers through posts that showcase her lifestyle, international travels, brand partnerships and fashion sensibility.
The Timeline of Joshua and Celina’s Relationship
Kerr was there throughout Zirkzee’s journey at Bayern Munich – even through loan periods at Parma and Anderlecht. Once their relationship came out of the shadows, it has only grown stronger since 2017. Starting 2017, she provided him with unwavering support through every phase of his professional development, including loan periods at both Parma and Anderlecht. However, 2024 marked an unexpected turning point with Zirkzee’s commitment to Manchester United, culminating in their separation after seven years together and indirectly confirmed through their actions on social media – both parties deleted shared pictures and stopped following each other – nine months into Zirkzee’s time spent abroad, underscoring how often personal lives and professional transitions intersect in sports.
