Hazard was born in La Louvière and grew up in Braine-le-Comte. His mother, Carine, and father, Thierry (not to be confused with the French singer and songwriter of the same name), were both footballers. His father spent most of his career playing at semi-professional level with La Louvière in the Belgian Second Division.[17] He played mainly as a defensive midfielder.[17] His mother played as a striker in the Belgian Women's First Division and stopped playing when she was three months pregnant with Eden.[17][18] After playing football, both parents became sports teachers.[17] Thierry retired from his position in 2009 in order to devote more time to his children.[17]
Hazard is the eldest of four children. He has three brothers, all of whom play football, including Thorgan, who joined him at Chelsea in 2012 and had previously progressed through the youth ranks of Lille's biggest rivals Lens.[19][20][21][22] Hazard's other younger brothers are Kylian and Ethan. In July 2013, Kylian joined White Star Bruxelles, while Ethan remains playing in the youth academy of Eden's former club Tubize.[17][20][23][24]
Hazard and his three brothers were raised in a comfortable
environment with their parents ensuring they had whatever they needed to
excel.[25]
The family lived "no more than three meters" from a football training
ground and the brothers often ventured onto a training pitch through a
small hole in order to hone and develop their skills.[18]
Hazard is currently in a relationship with girlfriend Natasha. On 19
December 2010, Belgian and French media announced that she had given
birth to a baby boy, Yannis. She gave birth to their second son, Leo, in
February 2013.[26][27]
