As Liverpool fans rejoiced at Anfield after their football club won the Premier League trophy on Sunday, nobody was prouder than Mohamed Salah 's wife, Magi Salah. The Egyptian-born footballer, 32, was awarded the Golden Boot for the fourth time after scoring 29 goals in his 38 league appearances - putting him in the history books alongside legend Thierry Henry . After seeing all of his hard work pay off, supportive wife Magi and their two daughters, Makka, 10, and Kayan, five, rushed onto the pitch to give the beloved husband and father a heartfelt cuddle. But these public appearances are usually limited as Magi shies away from the limelight, valuing her privacy. The 31-year-old likes to keep her family life under wraps and while many other WAGs are used to having active social media profiles with thousands of followers in tow, Magi does not appear to have any public online presence. Mohamed - known more commonly as Mo - married his childhood sweetheart in 2013, when she was just 19 years old in a small Islamic ceremony and they had their first daughter Makka a year later. The couple grew up in the same place, a small farming village of Nagrig, and both attended the Mohamed Eyad Al-Tantawi School, where their friendship as teenagers slowly blossomed into love. After completing her qualifications at school, Magi then went on to pursue biotechnology at Alexandria University, following her passion for science. Both of her parents come from a teaching background and encouraged both Magi, her twin sister Mohab and her siblings Mahy and Miriam, to work hard in their education. Although the mother-of-two is trained professionally as a biotechnician, she now dabbles in philanthropy alongside her husband. Magi and Mo often travel back to Nagrig every Ramadan to celebrate the Muslim event with their loved ones and also to give back to their community. The pair have provided financial support to their village in the form of donating food, appliances, medical equipment, along with funding school projects, hospitals and clean water facilities - according to reports. But while Mo - who is thought to earn £380,000 a week - is known to be a more public figure, Magi is happy to take a back seat and help those less fortunate quietly. The parents moved to Merseyside after Mo changed clubs for a then-record contract of £39million in 2017. The family-of-four now live in mansion in the northern city and are proud to call it 'home', adding that his wife felt content with where they had put down their roots. 'They feel at home,' Mo said. 'They were very happy, Magi and the kids , they were very happy that we're staying another two years. It feels like home so everyone was happy.' The brood went on a trip to Disney last November, with Mo sharing images of his wife and children clad with Mickey ears enjoying rides and running around the theme park. The Salah brood reside in the same neighbourhood as Manchester City's Erling Haaland in the affluent county of Cheshire. Mo has joked in the past that the house 'looks like a hospital' - much to the dismay of Magi - as it is kitted out with two gym rooms and also has cryotherapy facilities and a hyperbaric chamber. Cryotherapy is the use of ice-led machines to decrease swelling by constricting blood vessels, while a hyperbaric chamber has air pressure levels three times higher than normal conditions to help the lungs spread more oxygen around the body. But while Mo admits that he is always looking to improve his physical condition, it can sometimes get in the way of time with Magi. 'I am constantly looking to improve my physical condition,' he once told France Football. 'It's true that I like to say that my house looks like a hospital, [but] my wife doesn't like that! [She] says that I spend more time with my machines than with her!'
