The 9-year marriage of the World Cup-winning footballer and the Grand Slam-winning tennis star has broken up.
After long-running rumors, Ivanovic’s representative Christian Schertz has officially confirmed the news of the separation. He said that the star couple’s “unresolved differences” are what ultimately led to the separation.
Ana Ivanovic caused a stir in the tennis world by winning the French Open in 2008. That same year, she lost to Maria Sharapova in the Australian Open final. Ivanovic retired from tennis in 2016. Earlier, Ivanovic was involved in a relationship with German World Cup-winning footballer Schweinsteiger in 2014. The sports couple got married in Venice, Italy in 2016. They have three children. Ivanovic has spent most of his time in his home country of Serbia with his children in recent years. Schweinsteiger is one of the greatest footballers in German history. In addition to winning the World Cup, he has also shone for Bayern Munich and Manchester United. After retiring, the former midfielder has been working as a football analyst on television. He often has to stay abroad for professional reasons. It is believed that different lifestyles have put up a wall between the two. Earlier in April this year, a report by Mail Sports revealed the couple’s marital strife. The report said that the relationship between Ana (Ivanovic) and Bastian (Schweinsteiger) was in a “deep crisis”. The main reason behind this was their contrasting lifestyles.
While Schweinsteiger was busy with regular travel and professional duties, Ivanovic was more involved in family life. And this tension eventually led to the end. However, neither of them wanted to comment publicly on this separation. Lawyer Schertz has asked fans to respect their privacy during this time. Meanwhile, a report published in German media in June claimed that Bastian Schweinsteiger was seen in an intimate situation with his alleged new girlfriend. The Bulgarian woman, named Silva, was also reported to have gone on holiday with Schweinsteiger in Mallorca, Spain. There are rumors that Schweinsteiger and Silva have previously spent a holiday together in Morocco.
