Fabian Hurzeler, the prominent coach of Brighton, has tied the knot in a private ceremony with his partner, actress Anna Karolin Berger, during the recent international break. At just 33 years old, Hurzeler chose to keep the event under wraps, as reported by the German publication Bild.
The couple has consistently preferred to keep their relationship private, with little known about when they started dating. Both Hurzeler and Berger have refrained from making public statements regarding their romantic connection.
Hurzeler’s Secret Marriage to Anna Berger
Since joining Brighton in 2024, Hurzeler has maintained a low profile regarding his personal life. However, the couple was spotted together during the summer at the 2026 World Cup, supporting the German national team in a group match against Ivory Coast, which Germany won 2-1.
Social media images captured them smiling and enjoying each other’s company in the stands. They later celebrated with a romantic vacation in Mauritius, where Hurzeler shared moments exploring the mountains.
Anna Karolin Berger, 34, hails from the medieval town of Wetzlar, Germany. Her passion for acting led her to enroll in the Cologne Film School in 2017, where she studied until 2020, alongside auditioning for TV productions and modeling.
Her breakout role came in 2022 when she appeared in 13 episodes of the German series “Alles was zählt” as Olivia Portman, marking a pivotal moment in her career. In 2025, she landed a leading role in the successful telenovela “Sturm der Liebe,” aired on Das Erste, where she has featured in over 170 episodes as the character Larissa Mahnke, involved in complex relationships and dramatic plotlines.
Due to filming primarily in Bavaria, Berger resides in Munich while managing a long-distance relationship with Hurzeler, who continues to excel in English football.
Brighton Emerges as a Premier League Sensation
Under the leadership of the young German coach, Brighton boasts the top offense in the Premier League, having scored 23 goals, four more than league leader Manchester City, which has netted 19 goals.
