Ana Ivanović has officially filed for divorce from Bastian Schweinsteiger in Munich, with reports suggesting potential legal disputes over custody and child support despite the couple’s vast wealth.
Ana Ivanović has filed for divorce from former Germany international Bastian Schweinsteiger, marking the end of one of sport’s most admired marriages. The 38-year-old former tennis champion confirmed the split, citing “irreconcilable differences.”
The case was filed at the Munich family court, while additional proceedings have reportedly begun in Mallorca to address child support arrangements. Schweinsteiger, 41, has not publicly commented, but his silence contrasts with recent photographs showing him with a new partner — images that seemingly ended all hopes of reconciliation.
The couple’s separation has now entered a potentially complex legal stage. Despite both possessing significant wealth, Ivanović’s move to initiate proceedings in Spain suggests that custody and financial arrangements could become points of contention.
Ivanović and Schweinsteiger share three sons — Luka (8), Leon (5), and Theo (2) — whom they have largely kept out of the public spotlight. However, their once carefully curated family image has begun to unravel. Earlier this year, both shared unusually personal family moments on social media, celebrating Schweinsteiger’s 41st birthday with homemade cakes and family videos that portrayed them as “supermom and superdad.”
Behind the polished online image lies a deeper financial story. Reports in German media revealed that Schweinsteiger trademarked his sons’ names through a private company — covering products from perfume and beer to toys and sportswear. The move reportedly aimed to secure future branding opportunities for their children, reflecting the couple’s shared career-savvy approach to fame.
Now, with divorce proceedings under way, that business model — along with the family’s media image — faces an uncertain future. Legal experts suggest that custody negotiations could prove challenging if both parties insist on different living arrangements for the children.
Once seen as a power couple uniting the worlds of football and tennis, Schweinsteiger and Ivanović are now entering what may become one of sport’s most closely followed divorces.
