Reports emerging from Germany indicate that Ivanović filed for divorce in Munich in November. Simultaneously, she reportedly submitted a child support request to a court in Mallorca, where the family has resided for an extended period.
This suggests the divorce proceedings could unfold across two countries – Germany and Spain – potentially complicating the process significantly.
Allegations of infidelity involving Bastian Schweinsteiger are being cited by multiple media outlets as the primary cause for the split. The former German international has been photographed on several occasions in recent months with another woman, sparking widespread speculation about the state of his marriage.
Sources close to the couple suggest these photographs were a major factor in eroding trust between the two.
While the relationship often appeared idyllic publicly, those familiar with the couple also point to long-standing issues stemming from differing priorities, frequent separations due to work commitments, and the challenges of navigating life after professional sports. Their paths reportedly began to diverge after both retired from their respective careers.
Ivanović and Schweinsteiger share three sons – Luka, Leon, and Theo. Both parties are reportedly prioritizing the protection of their children and seeking to resolve the situation with as much discretion as possible.
Ivanović reached the pinnacle of the women’s tennis world, retiring nine years ago to focus on family and personal life. Schweinsteiger was a constant source of support during her playing career, and their relationship was often presented as a model partnership between two sporting icons.
As of now, neither Ana Ivanović nor Bastian Schweinsteiger have issued an official statement regarding the reported divorce.
