Tennis star Ana Ivanovic and football legend Bastian Schweinsteiger end their 8-year marriage: Reports

Tennis legend Ana Ivanovic has reportedly ended her marriage with German footballer Bastian Schweinsteiger after eight years. This report made bold headlines from German outlet Bunte, which reported that the couple had already separated two months ago. However, neither of them came out to address the situation; neither made any official statements concerning the same.

The duo tied a knot in 2016 in Venice and have three children together. The tennis star ended her professional career after getting married. However, Bastian played for more than three years after the marriage, and they were both hailed as the best-power couple in the sports industry.

Notably, the couple has always remained private in their approach to married life despite playing different sports. Notably, the tennis player is well known for winning the French Open in 2008. On the other hand, Bastian is a 2014 FIFA World Cup winner.

The Serbian legend made the headlines this week as she was playing at the Geneva Open alongside star player Martina Hingis in the mixed doubles tournament.

Just a year ago, the tennis player discussed his relationship, stating that they were both always supportive and respected each other's interests. However, recent news showcases that the pair are now separated after appearing to be one of the best couples in the sporting world, with two of the best in their period at their respective times.

The two pairs have embodied the image of the perfect union, with grace, stability, and mutual respect radiating from every public appearance. However, the German media outlet has reported things behind the scenes, which seem to have taken a different turn.

Ana Ivanovic's post-marriage struggles

The top WTA star has recently opened up about the struggles she has faced post-marriage and how things have changed as compared to earlier.

“We would love our kids to be interested in sports, but we will not put extra pressure on them to play a particular sport. We want them to pursue their own passions, no matter what they are,” the Serb said.
