In a shocking turn of events, former tennis world No. 1 Ana Ivanovic and German football icon Bastian Schweinsteiger have decided to end their seven-year marriage. The sports power couple, once hailed as one of the most glamorous pairs in athletics, confirmed their separation due to 'irreconcilable differences'.
The End of a Sporting Romance
The Serbian tennis star, who retired in 2016, married the former Manchester United and Bayern Munich midfielder in a fairytale Venice wedding in July 2016. Their union had been celebrated as a perfect match between two sporting legends from different disciplines.
From Courtside to Heartbreak
Friends close to the couple revealed that despite their best efforts to make the marriage work, the challenges of maintaining a relationship across different countries and careers ultimately proved too difficult. The pair share two young children, whose welfare remains their top priority during this difficult transition.
What Went Wrong?
While neither party has publicly disclosed specific reasons for the split, insiders suggest that the constant travel demands of their respective careers - even after retirement - created an unsustainable situation. Ivanovic had been balancing motherhood with her business ventures, while Schweinsteiger remained active in football through punditry and coaching roles.
The divorce marks the end of one of sport's most high-profile cross-discipline relationships, leaving fans worldwide mourning the loss of their favourite power couple.
