Former Slovak tennis star Dominika Cibulková and her husband of 10 years, Michal Navara, are officially divorced, and both have been seen with new partners in recent months, Diva.sk reported. The couple, together for 17 years and parents of daughter Nina and son Jakub, confirmed the split after Navara filed for divorce in late January.
Cibulková, 36, has been publicly linked to businessman Tibor Vincze — a longtime family friend of the Navaras — while Navara has been photographed with Iryna Kushnir, a Ukrainian woman who once managed the couple’s cafés, according to Svetevity.sk. The divorce itself was confirmed by Navara, who told Diva.sk: “Yes, we’ve been divorced for a while.”
How the marriage ended
Navara filed for divorce at the end of January, citing his wife’s affair with a longtime friend as the main reason. In a statement reported by Diva.sk, he said that after his wife began an extramarital relationship roughly a year earlier, he was forced to leave the shared household and start living on his own. He declined to comment publicly on his personal life beyond that.
The friend in question was Tibor Vincze, who had become close to Navara through their children and even worked with him professionally, Diva.sk reported. Vincze’s wife, Alexandra, told the Slovak outlet she first noticed frequent messaging between her husband and Cibulková around April, and that her husband dismissed her concerns. The breaking point, she said, came last June when Vincze traveled alone to Athens for a vacation — something he had never done in 11 years together — while Cibulková was coincidentally in Greece on Mykonos. When Alexandra contacted him, he texted that he had no signal, she said, and at that point she knew he was lying.
Cibulková and Vincze go public
Cibulková and Vincze first appeared together publicly at the farewell match of hockey player Zdeněk Chára in Trenčín, where Vincze served as her escort, Diva.sk reported. The pair were later photographed at a theater performance and a premiere, and Cibulková eventually shared a series of photos of the two of them on Instagram, making the relationship official.
The connection was eased by the fact that the children already knew each other: Vincze’s daughter attended the same kindergarten as Cibulková’s children, so her son Jakub and daughter Nina were already familiar with him, Diva.sk noted.
Navara’s new chapter with Kushnir
Navara, for his part, did not stay single for long. Svetevity.sk reported that he is now with Iryna Kushnir, who previously worked as a manager at the couple’s cafés. Though the two do not speak publicly about the relationship, a joint photo of them has appeared in the media, and Kushnir recently began following Navara’s mother on Instagram — a small but telling sign of the relationship deepening, Diva.sk reported.
Life after the split: the Maldives and ShapeApp
Shortly after the divorce became public, Cibulková traveled to the Maldives, where she posted swimsuit photos from the beach — though this time she covered up with a shirt rather than showing off her new figure, Diva.sk reported. One of her Instagram stories showed that her son Jakub was with her, indicating it was a family vacation rather than a work trip.
According to AZET, Cibulková — mother of Jakub, 6, and Nina, 3 — launched her fitness app ShapeApp in January 2025 after losing 23 kilograms during 2024. The app, which she calls her “third child,” offers short workouts designed to fit into daily life. Shortly after the divorce news broke, she announced that Zuzana Líšková, known from the Slovak show JedzBistro, had joined the ShapeApp team to bring pilates, new recipes and other content to users.
