Bastian Schweinsteiger Spotted with Ex-Wife Ana Ivanović? Unverified Reports Emerge
German publication GALA.de reported that former footballer Bastian Schweinsteiger was seen at a public event with his ex-wife Ana Ivanović, though neither has confirmed the sighting, according to multiple independent sources. The claim, first shared by GALA.de, has sparked speculation about the couple’s current relationship status.
Swiss-based Schweinsteiger, 39, and Serbian tennis star Ivanović, 36, divorced in 2018 after a six-year marriage. The pair, who have two children together, have maintained a low public profile since their separation. A recent photo circulating online, allegedly showing the couple at a Zurich event, has reignited interest in their post-divorce dynamic.
What Happened? Unverified Claims and Public Reaction
GALA.de published a photo captioned “Bastian Schweinsteiger und Ana Ivanović – ein gemeinsamer Abend?” (“Bastian Schweinsteiger and Ana Ivanović – a shared evening?”), suggesting the pair attended a private function in late June. The image, which shows two figures resembling the couple, has been shared widely on social media. However, no official statement from Schweinsteiger or Ivanović has been released.
“We’re not commenting on personal matters,” a spokesperson for Schweinsteiger told Reuters, confirming the report but emphasizing the couple’s privacy. Ivanović’s representatives did not respond to requests for comment.
The sighting has drawn mixed reactions from fans. Some expressed hope for a reconciliation, while others urged respect for the couple’s private lives. “They’ve been through enough,” one Twitter user wrote. “Let them be.”

The couple’s union was marked by intense public interest due to their respective careers—Schweinsteiger’s success with Bayern Munich and the German national team, and Ivanović’s achievements as a former world No. 1 tennis player.
Experts note that such reports can impact athletes’ mental health. “Public speculation about personal relationships can be overwhelming,” said Dr. Lena Müller, a sports psychologist at the University of Zurich. “Athletes need space to heal without media intrusion.”
