Ana Ivanovic and Bastian Schweinsteiger ‘split up’ after nine years of marriage

One of the world’s most admired sports marriages has reportedly come to an end, as Ana Ivanovic and Bastian Schweinsteiger have separated after nine years together.

The shocking news, first reported by German publication Bunte, suggests the couple quietly parted ways two months ago, though neither has made an official statement.

The duo’s romance began in 2014, blossoming into a €1 million Venetian wedding in 2016 that spanned three days of luxury celebrations. Together, they built a family with three sons: Luka (7), Leon (4), and Theo (1).

But behind the glossy social media posts—which often showed them traveling the world—the couple faced growing challenges:

• Long-distance strains: Schweinsteiger’s punditry career kept him traveling, while Ivanovic primarily stayed home
• Different bases: Ivanovic is now living in Belgrade with their children, while Schweinsteiger remains in Munich
• Quiet separation: Reports indicate they split amicably but have kept details private

Both athletes reached the pinnacle of their sports:
✔ Ivanovic: Former world No. 1 tennis player, 2008 French Open champion, 15 WTA titles
✔ Schweinsteiger: World Cup winner with Germany (2014), 8-time Bundesliga champion, Champions League winner with Bayern Munich

Their union was celebrated as a rare cross-sport power couple—making the breakup all the more surprising to fans.
