Christian Eriksen is married to Sabrina Kvist Jensen from Tommerup on the Danish island of Funen. According to the media they have been together since around 2012; they married at Odense City Hall in 2025 and have three children. Christian Eriksen’s wife has never sought publicity, so this page only covers what the family has made public or what has been widely reported by Danish media.
Christian Eriksen wife: who is Sabrina Kvist Jensen?
Sabrina Kvist Jensen comes from Tommerup, a small town between Odense and Assens on Funen. According to Wikipedia and TV 2 Fyn, she and Christian Eriksen have been a couple since around 2012 – the years when he was playing for Ajax and had broken into the Denmark team.
She is not a public figure in the sense of giving interviews or appearing in the media. Most Danes know of her only through the few occasions she has been mentioned in connection with his career – above all the evening at Parken in 2021, described below.
Married at Odense City Hall in 2025
The couple married in a civil ceremony at Odense Rådhus (City Hall). TV 2 Fyn reported on 28 May 2025 that they were “just married”, and Danish Wikipedia gives the same date as the wedding day. The exact day has not been confirmed by the couple themselves, but the venue is certain. According to the Danish magazine Se og Hør, Eriksen later confirmed the wedding on Instagram and on the DR podcast “Fodboldlisten”.
The wedding came a few days after his final game for Manchester United on 25 May 2025 and shortly before his contract in Manchester expired on 30 June. Beyond the venue and the form of the ceremony, the couple have not shared details of the day, so neither do we.
Christian Eriksen’s children: three as of October 2026
Christian Eriksen and Sabrina Kvist Jensen have three children:
- A son, Alfred, born in 2018 – according to Danish Wikipedia in June that year, during the World Cup in Russia. His name was published by B.T. on 31 December 2018 and has been widely reported since.
- A daughter, born in December 2020. Her first name has not been published by reputable outlets, and we do not give it.
- A third child. On 16 October 2026 Eriksen shared the news on Instagram with the caption “Familie på 5” (“Family of 5”). He gave no sex, name or date of birth, and we do not speculate.
The family keeps the children out of the public eye, and we respect that: no photos of them and nothing beyond what the parents have shared themselves.
Sabrina at Parken in 2021 and the family after 2026
On 12 June 2021 Sabrina Kvist Jensen was at the stadium when Christian suffered a cardiac arrest during Denmark’s Euro 2020 match against Finland. While the medics treated him, Simon Kjær and Kasper Schmeichel went to her on the pitch to comfort her. The events of that evening are set out factually on our page about Eriksen’s cardiac arrest.
The family was also mentioned after he collapsed in the friendly against Ukraine in Odense on 7 June 2026. The next day team doctor Morten Boesen told DBU that Christian was with his family and in good spirits. In his own Instagram post, as quoted by AP, Eriksen wrote that receiving a shock from his ICD had “had a major impact on both me and my family”. More on our page about the 2026 collapse.
The Christian Eriksen family: back home in Denmark
Family has been the direct reason for his latest career decision. When his contract with VfL Wolfsburg was terminated on 23 September 2026, he said that at the moment it was important for him to be close to his family in Denmark. The same day his agent, Martin Schoots, asked TV 2 for respect for his and his family’s privacy. For his football situation, see Christian Eriksen’s next club.
The family has settled in Odense. According to Ekstra Bladet (reported by PLBold on 9 October 2026), the move became official in the public registers on 5 October 2026. We do not publish an address or any details of the home – only the city.
His parents, Thomas and Dorthe Eriksen
Christian Eriksen is the son of Thomas and Dorthe Eriksen and grew up in Middelfart. According to The Guardian, his father Thomas was one of the youth coaches at Middelfart G&BK when Christian started there aged three in 1995. Christian stayed at the club until he joined OB at 13 in 2005. Little has been published about his mother, Dorthe, by reputable media, and we go no further than her name. His childhood is covered in Christian Eriksen’s biography.
His sister Louise Eriksen is a footballer too
Christian has a younger sister, Louise Dannemann Eriksen, born in 1995. Like her brother she is a midfielder, and she has played for Kolding IF (2015-2022), Lazio (2022-2025) and Como in Italy’s Serie A Femminile (from 2025). She won two caps for Denmark’s under-16s and was called up to the senior squad in April 2017 without winning an official cap. Both siblings have therefore played in Serie A – Christian for Inter in 2020-2021, Louise for Lazio and Como.
