Love Triangle in the Bundesliga: Roman Weidenfeller, Lisa Rossenbach and Arne Maier at the Center of Controversy

Roman Weidenfeller, Lisa Rossenbach and Arne Maier, the protagonists of the triangle

Roman Weidenfeller made his mark as a goalkeeper. Trained at Kaiserlautern, in 2002 he moved to Borussia Dortmund, a team in which he wore his gloves for 16 years and 453 games before retiring in 2018. In addition, he was part of the Germany team that won the World Cup title. of Brazil 2014, after beating Argentina in a final that went to extra time. At 43 years old and already far from the fence, in his country he made the news for non-football reasons: he is one of the vertices of the love triangle that is shaking the Bundesliga.

In November 2023, the former goalkeeper announced his separation from Lisa Rossenbach, his wife, to whom he had been together since 2010. “It’s true, we are no longer a couple. We have separated amicably. Unfortunately we had to realize that it wasn’t going to work long term. For us, our two children come first. As parents, of course, we will look after their well-being together,” said the former athlete.

In reality, they had a first estrangement in 2018, coinciding with the end of the goalkeeper’s football career. But then they came to an understanding and reconciled. They had married in 2015 and a year later their first child, Leonard, was born. And in May 2023, Luna, their second daughter, was born. Barely six months later the final breakup occurred.

Well, according to the newspaper Bild, Lisa Rossenbach would have started a relationship with a colleague of Weidenfeller, although 18 years younger than the world champion (and 12 younger than his new girlfriend). This is Arne Maier, Augsburg midfielder (25), with a past at Hertha Berlin and Arminia Bielefeld, and records in the German youth teams. The German magazine Bunte claimed that the midfielder had already shown his love for his partner after scoring a goal for his club in a match against Cologne during a 1-1 draw on March 31. Consequently, the link would take several months of training. There are even those who maintain that it could have been stepped on with her separation from Roman.

Maier, beyond his football career, had gained notoriety for his relationship with influencer Melissa Deines, who has more than 600,000 followers on her Instagram account. After the breakup, the model fell in love with another footballer, Borussia Monchengladbach striker Robin Hack, and celebrated the birth of her first child, Ameo, in November.

We will have to wait for the next chapters of the novel. If Maier, who started for Augsburg on Saturday, when they lost 5-1 against Dortmund (just Weidenfeller’s former team), reveals the link through some conclusive gesture in a match for his team – which still has a chance of qualify for an international competition for the 2024/2025 period – or if Lisa makes her love public on social networks. And what is the former goalkeeper’s reaction to the budding couple.
