Ana Ivanovic and Bastian Schweinsteiger Reportedly Separate After Nearly a Decade of Marriage
April 17, 2025 – Smy Tennis News — One of the sporting world’s most celebrated couples, Ana Ivanovic and Bastian Schweinsteiger, have reportedly parted ways after nearly nine years of marriage.
According to German media outlet Bunte, the 37-year-old Serbian tennis star and the 40-year-old German football legend ended their relationship two months ago. The couple, who married in a romantic ceremony in Venice in 2016, are now believed to be living separately.
Schweinsteiger, who retired from professional football in 2019, is said to be based in Munich, while Ivanovic resides in her hometown of Belgrade with their three sons — Luka, Leon, and Theo. She is reportedly living in an apartment close to her family.
Sources suggest the long distance and limited time together due to Schweinsteiger’s frequent work travels contributed to the strain on their relationship. Reports from Bild indicate that the couple had been growing apart for some time.
The pair first met in 2014 and quickly became one of sports’ most admired power couples. At the height of her tennis career, Ivanovic won 15 WTA titles, including the 2008 French Open, and reached world No. 1. She officially retired from professional tennis in late 2016.
Schweinsteiger, one of Germany’s most decorated footballers, spent most of his club career at Bayern Munich, winning numerous domestic and international titles, including the UEFA Champions League. He later played for Manchester United and Chicago Fire before retiring.
On the international stage, Schweinsteiger earned 121 caps for Germany and was a crucial part of the team that won the 2014 FIFA World Cup.
While neither Ivanovic nor Schweinsteiger has officially confirmed the split, fans of the couple are expressing sadness over the news.
