One of the most dazzling sports unions of the past decade has cracked: former world No. 1 Ana Ivanović and legendary midfielder, 2014 World Cup champion Bastian Schweinsteiger have officially ended their relationship nine years after their lavish Venetian wedding.
Irreconcilable Differences — The Only Comment
The Serbian tennis star’s attorney briefly confirmed the news, citing 'irreconcilable differences'. The couple intends to share no further details, choosing to protect their privacy just as they shielded their family life from camera flashes during their active sporting careers.
Different Routes: Schedules, Flights, and New Acquaintances
Recent months told the story: while analyzing Bundesliga matches on German television, Schweinsteiger spent most of his time based in Munich and was frequently on the road. In June 2025 the football pundit was spotted on the Greek islands in the company of 35-year-old Bulgarian blogger Silva Kapitanova. Whether they bonded over a shared passion for sport remains behind the scenes, but the attorney pointed to Schweinsteiger’s workload and constant travel as key factors behind the couple’s growing distance.
A Mallorcan Haven and a Mother’s Timetable
While her husband conquered the airwaves, Ana settled with the children on sunny Mallorca. There the former world No. 1 focused on the family timetable: tennis-academy sessions for the eldest son, swimming lessons for the middle child, and first steps on court for the youngest.
From a Fairytale Ceremony to a Roster of Five
The couple married in July 2016 and had long seemed exemplary: Luka is now seven, Leon four, and little Theo recently turned two. A union once hailed as the perfect tandem between a Roland Garros champion and a Bayern star has ultimately given way to life’s realities.
The Ivanović-Schweinsteiger split is a vivid reminder that even the strongest players in world sport can struggle with the pressures off the field, where there are no clear rules, tie-breaks, or referee whistles.
