The reason Ivanovic and Schweinsteiger separated

Ivanovic and Schweinsteiger decided to separate.

Ivanovic's lawyer released the information, confirming that the couple decided to go their separate ways due to "irreconcilable differences".

According to Bild , Ivanovic's lawyer stressed that it would be difficult for the two to reconcile and asked people to respect the privacy of the couple and their children.

Meanwhile, the Daily Mail said the two sports stars are going through a "serious crisis" due to their different lifestyles. Schweinsteiger often travels for work as a commentator, while Ivanovic spends a lot of time in her native Serbia, where she receives support from her family in looking after her children.

Their last public appearance was at the Laver Cup in September 2024. Ivanovic and Schweinsteiger then shared a photo together at a Christmas market later that year. They have not shared photos of each other on social media since.

Ivanovic and Schweinsteiger are happy on their wedding day.

In June, German media reported that Schweinsteiger was caught kissing a woman believed to be his new girlfriend, who is known to both of their children.

Ivanovic has not commented on the incident. She recently appeared to watch Wimbledon in London, a tournament where she reached the semi-finals 18 years ago.

Ivanovic and Schweinsteiger were once one of the most famous couples in the sports world, attracting a lot of media attention. The two held a romantic wedding in Venice in 2016. They first met in 2014, when Schweinsteiger was playing for Bayern Munich and Ivanovic was preparing to retire.

This decision to separate marks a major turning point in the lives of both sports stars, leaving fans with regret.
