Former tennis star Dominika Cibulková is drawing public praise for her dedication to physical fitness and health, a focus she has maintained despite dealing with a highly public divorce and ongoing personal disputes, Diva.sk reported. The Slovak athlete, who ended her marriage to businessman Michal Navara, has recently shared updates on her body transformation journey with her followers, showcasing her commitment to reaching her target physique.
Divorce and Public Disputes
Cibulková and Navara were once regarded as a model couple, often presenting a united front on social media. However, their relationship faced significant turmoil, culminating in divorce proceedings. Navara publicly accused Cibulková of initiating an extramarital affair approximately one year before their separation, a claim that he said forced him to leave their shared home. “After my wife started an extramarital affair about a year ago, I was forced to leave our common home and start living a separate life,” Navara stated, adding, “I do not consider it necessary to comment on my private life publicly.”
These allegations created a significant public stir, but an even greater surprise emerged when it became known that Cibulková had become close with Tibor Vincze, a friend of her now-ex-husband. The Vincze and Navara families had known each other through their children, who attended the same kindergarten. Alexandra Vincze, Tibor's wife, revealed a moment that solidified her suspicions about an affair between Cibulková and her husband. “For me, the peak was when he went on a vacation to Athens, Greece last June. In the 11 years we were together, he had never been on vacation alone. And ‘coincidentally,’ Dominika was also in Greece, but on Mykonos,” Alexandra told Diva.sk. “When I contacted him, he told me he had no signal and similar things. I knew then that he was lying to me.”
Following their divorce, Navara revealed that legal battles were ongoing, extending beyond the dissolution of their marriage to include disputes over their children and shared assets. He stated that a criminal complaint had been filed against Cibulková. “Unfortunately, there is a long way to go to any reconciliation from my ex-wife’s side,” Navara explained in an interview with Šport24. “We do not have the regulated joint ownership of spouses. It has been filed with the court. Currently, Dominika sees it that everything we acquired during the marriage is only hers and acts accordingly.”
Fitness Transformation Journey
Outside of her personal life, Cibulková has been open about her physical transformation. After retiring from professional tennis and giving birth to two children, she experienced a noticeable weight gain. However, she embarked on a strict fitness and nutrition regimen, successfully losing an impressive 23 kilograms. She documented her journey on social media and even developed a mobile application, ShapeApp, designed to help women achieve better health and fitness through short, accessible workout routines.
“We arranged it so that Zuzana Lišková will cook for me four days a week, and the rest is up to my choice. So I decided that if I go to eat at a restaurant or somewhere else, I will post it occasionally so that you can also see what you can replace it with and have some information. And I will have a little stopgap in case my willpower fails, as it is the most important in such moments. The goal is clear. Let’s go!” Cibulková shared during her transformation.
More recently, following the stress of her divorce, Cibulková acknowledged she had regained some weight, about five kilograms more than her lowest point. Her current goal is to return to a weight of 56 kilograms, a figure even lower than the 59 kilograms she reached after her initial transformation from 82 kilograms. She has taken her followers along on her journey, sharing posts from the Maldives, where she is vacationing with her children, Jakub and Ninka. In a series of photos, she confidently displayed her physique in a swimsuit, receiving an outpouring of support and admiration in the comments from her fans.
Current Status and Next Steps
Cibulková and her new partner, Tibor Vincze, are no longer concealing their relationship, frequently appearing together in public. The couple made a notable appearance at the premiere of a theater production, where Cibulková was photographed alongside Vincze, signaling the seriousness of their new relationship. While she has not made any official public statements confirming the romance, their public appearances speak for themselves.
Meanwhile, the legal and personal disputes between Cibulková and Navara continue. Both parties are dealing with the complexities of co-parenting their children while resolving matters of asset division and the criminal complaint filed by Navara.
