Personal Life
Boruc is a Legia Warsaw fan and attends matches in Poland. He makes the L sign using his thumb and index finger to show that he is fan of his old club Legia Warszawa (in Warsaw L sign means Legia).
On 21 April 2007 he helped a 27-year-old pregnant Polish woman, her sister and brother-in-law when they were attacked in Glasgow.
Boruc's father died in April 2010; his mother Jadwiga died when he was only 20. He has a brother and three sisters. On 11 June 2008 Boruc's then-wife Katarzyna gave birth to their son, Aleksander ("Aleks"), in Warsaw. Boruc and his wife separated in 2008 amid reports of his relationship with former Polish Idol contestant Sara Mannei.
Fiancée Sara Mannei gave birth to a girl Amelia on 9 August 2010 in Poland. Boruc lives with Sara, Amelia, and Oliwia, his partner's daughter from a previous relationship.
In September 2009, The Scottish Sun newspaper published an apology for claiming Boruc had had an affair with a young woman shown in a photograph, who was actually his sister.
In June 2011, the News of the World newspaper admitted it had published a false report on Boruc, and paid him £70,000, believed to be a record for Scottish libel cases, plus legal expenses.

Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or life:
“If society gives up the right to impose the death penalty, then self help will appear again and personal vendettas will be around the corner.”
—Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)
“I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.... I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life, to live so sturdily and Spartan-like as to put to rout all that was not life, to cut a broad swath and shave close, to drive life into a corner, and reduce it to its lowest terms.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
