Retired Serbian tennis champion Ana Ivanovic and former football star Bastian Schweinsteiger were once one of the world’s most admired sports couples. Their love story, which began in 2014 and led to a glamorous wedding in Venice in 2016, appeared flawless on the surface. But in a shocking twist that has captivated media across Europe, their fairytale marriage has come to an end and Schweinsteiger’s rumored new relationship has already come to light.
Intimate beach moments with new girlfriend in Mallorca
Only weeks after it was revealed that Schweinsteiger and Ivanovic had quietly separated, the former World Cup winner was spotted kissing a new woman on a beach in Mallorca. The photos, first leaked online, show the pair intimately embracing and holding hands in public. A video has since emerged, showing them lying together on a beach towel and exchanging tender gestures. According to eyewitnesses, Schweinsteiger appeared relaxed and “deeply in love.”

The woman in question, identified as Silva Kapitanova, appears to be a Bulgarian fitness enthusiast. One of her photos, shared in a health article focused on postpartum workouts, shows her in sportswear balancing on a pilates ball. Though details about Silva remain scarce, sources claim that the mystery woman has two sons who attend the same school as Schweinsteiger and Ivanovic’s eldest children.

Cracks in the marriage
According to reports, Schweinsteiger and Ivanovic’s relationship had been under strain for several months. With Schweinsteiger traveling frequently due to his work as a football commentator, and Ana based in Belgrade caring for their three sons (ages 7, 6, and 2), the physical distance between them reportedly led to emotional distance as well.
The couple hadn’t been seen together in public for months. Their last confirmed joint appearance was at the Laver Cup, and the most recent photo on their shared Instagram came from a Christmas market in Vienna last November. A short video posted in March was later confirmed to be a pre-recorded promotional post for a brand deal.
From a fairy tale to a breakup
The divorce has shocked fans who followed the couple’s seemingly idyllic journey. When Schweinsteiger first met Ivanovic, he was so smitten that he flew to New York to see her, despite barely speaking English at the time. It was a whirlwind romance that had all the makings of a modern fairy tale, complete with beautiful wedding photos and touching interviews about their love.
Ana and Bastian relocated several times, including a period in Chicago when Schweinsteiger played for the Chicago Fire. In 2018, they welcomed their first child in the U.S. The family later spent most of their time at Ana’s estate in Mallorca, where their children now go to school.
Still tied by business
Despite the separation, Schweinsteiger and Ivanovic remain linked professionally. Since 2020, they’ve served as brand ambassadors for German fashion brand Brax, a partnership that is set to continue through 2027. Whether the brand will continue this collaboration amid the public attention surrounding their split remains to be seen.
As of now, neither Schweinsteiger nor Ivanovic has issued an official statement. But with Schweinsteiger’s new relationship already in the spotlight, and Ana receiving widespread support from fans across Serbia and beyond, this celebrity separation marks the end of one era. (source: Blic)
