Lothar Matthäus and Sylvia Matthäus – an untold secret
Lothar Matthäus, a soccer icon and record holder for the most international caps for Germany, also seems to be aiming for records off the pitch – at least when it comes to marriages. By 2021, he had already been married five times. His first great love was Sylvia, with whom he tied the knot in 1981. As a rising star in the soccer world and later world champion in 1990, Sylvia was always by his side. Together they raised two daughters, Alisa and Viola. But their marriage ended after eleven years. While Sylvia has now largely withdrawn from the public eye, Lothar is still looking for the love of his life.

Sylvie Meis and Rafael van der Vaart – farewell with fireworks
Many certainly remember Sylvie Meis as the charming wife of former soccer star Rafael van der Vaart. The couple married in 2005 and quickly became crowd favorites. The small family, who had been living as a threesome since 2006, were long regarded as the epitome of a glamorous couple. But on New Year’s Eve 2013, an incident occurred that shattered their seemingly perfect image: Sylvie and Rafael broke up abruptly just one day into the new year. It was particularly piquant that Rafael sought comfort in the arms of Sabia Boulahrouz – a close friend of Sylvie’s – shortly afterwards. A high-profile break-up battle ensued, which was covered intensively by the media. At the end of 2013, the divorce became official and Sylvie took back her maiden name.
