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:
“Personality and mind, like moustaches, belong to a certain age. They are a deformity in a child.... Leave his sensibilities, his emotions, his spirit, and his mind severely alone. There is the devil in mothers, that they must provoke personal ... response from their infants.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
“San Francisco is where gay fantasies come true, and the problem the city presents is whether, after all, we wanted these particular dreams to be fulfilled—or would we have preferred others? Did we know what price these dreams would exact? Did we anticipate the ways in which, vivid and continuous, they would unsuit us for the business of daily life? Or should our notion of daily life itself be transformed?”
—Edmund White (b. 1940)
