High-flying Brighton boss Fabian Hurzeler reportedly married his actress girlfriend Anna Karolin Berger during the recent international break.

Hurzeler, 33, has been viewed as one of Europe's best young coaches due to his impressive work with Brighton.

After leading the Seagulls to European qualification last season, Hurzeler's side are currently third in the early season Premier League table behind Man City and Arsenal .

The German coach used the extended three-week international break to secretly marry Berger, according to Bild .

Hurzeler and Berger, who have not publicly commented on the length of their relationship, only went public over the summer.

The couple had shared pictures of themselves on holiday in Mauritius, while they also attended matches at the FIFA World Cup and the Austrian Grand Prix.

Hurzeler and Berger have been in a long-distance relationship owing to their work commitments in Brighton and Munich respectively.

Berger has played the role of jewellery designer Larissa Mahnke in the German soap Storm of Love since 2025.

The 34-year-old took up the role in the soap after the character was recast, with her predecessor Vivien Wulf having left the show.

Berger shared a photo in August of her in attendance at the Amex for Brighton's season-opening Premier League match, a 4-0 victory over Aston Villa.

The actress captioned the image: 'no worries - I’m a keeper.'

Hurzeler has overseen Brighton's stunning start to the season, which has seen the Seagulls win five, draw one and lose one of their Premier League fixtures.

The Brighton boss was seen with a ring on the fourth finger on the left hand – commonly called the ring finger – during Brighton's 5-0 victory over rivals Crystal Palace on Sunday.

Hurzeler is currently contracted to Brighton until 2029 having signed a new deal with the club back in May.
