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.
