Personal Life
Boateng is married to his Dutch wife Adriana. Together they have two children; Eliana and Elisha. He is a devout Christian and says his faith affects the way he conducts himself on the pitch. In an interview with Church Times he explains how his family practices Christianity, "On Sundays, I’d drop my wife off and go to my Ghanaian church. Then we started going to a Dutch church together. We’ve become very devoted Christians. Hearing and acting on the Word is very important."

Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or life:
“Take two kids in competition for their parents’ love and attention. Add to that the envy that one child feels for the accomplishments of the other; the resentment that each child feels for the privileges of the other; the personal frustrations that they don’t dare let out on anyone else but a brother or sister, and it’s not hard to understand why in families across the land, the sibling relationship contains enough emotional dynamite to set off rounds of daily explosions.”
—Adele Faber (20th century)
“Tomorrow in the offices the year on the stamps will be altered;
Tomorrow new diaries consulted, new calendars stand;
With such small adjustments life will again move forward
Implicating us all; and the voice of the living be heard:
“It is to us that you should turn your straying attention;
Us who need you, and are affected by your fortune;
Us you should love and to whom you should give your word.””
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
