Stunning Tennis Icon Captivates in Festive Photoshoot Following Split from Football Star

Former world No. 1 Ana Ivanovic has captivated fans with a glamorous Christmas morning photoshoot by her fireplace, coming in the wake of reports that she and footballer Bastian Schweinsteiger are divorcing.

The retired tennis champion shared a collection of images on social media documenting her holiday celebrations in Serbia, following her separation from the former Manchester United midfielder.

In one series of pictures, she posed indoors wearing a cozy turtleneck sweater, socks, and very short shorts. The photos were captioned simply: "Christmas mornings." Her toned and athletic legs were a focal point, showcasing clear muscle definition. Additional images featured her in a sparkling black sequined dress beside a Christmas tree, holding a wrapped gift.

The posts quickly garnered significant attention online. Reports indicate she recently filed for divorce and is now undergoing formal proceedings to dissolve the marriage.

Schweinsteiger also observed the holiday separately, sharing a festive greeting with his followers. Ivanovic has not publicly addressed the divorce reports and has seldom discussed her private life.

The couple first met in 2014 after being introduced by a mutual friend, former basketball player Steffen Hamann, in New York.

Reflecting on their initial encounter, the German football legend once admitted: "My English wasn't very strong when we met, so I listened to Ana a lot in the beginning. I was a bit reserved and watched what unfolded. It was love at first sight. You experience special moments and recognize them when you look deeply into someone's eyes—that's precisely how it was for me."

In a past interview, Ivanovic mentioned that her then-husband didn't always share her methodical approach to organization and daily schedules, noting they had different styles of managing their time.

Reactions to her Christmas post were overwhelmingly positive, with admirers praising her look. One comment read: “Absolutely stunning.” Another follower stated: “Perfection as always,” while a third added, “A true goddess.”

Other responses focused on the holiday spirit, with one message saying: “Ana, congratulations to you and your three boys. Wishing you a wonderful Christmas.”
