Sarina and Marten are doting parents to their two daughters, Sacha and Lauren, although the couple often keep their children out of the spotlight.

Sarina has shared snippets of her girls on her social media pages, during family holidays, with her most recent snap showing the family celebrating Christmas together back in 2020.

Alongside a photo of the family-of-four, and their adorable pooch, stood in front of a Christmas tree, Sarina mused: "What a year it has been... live differently, work differently, no fans in the stadiums. We've missed you so much! Health is not taken for granted, and that has become even clearer in 2020. I wish you very merry Christmas and a very beautiful, sporty and happy 2021."
