Barcelona goalkeeper Marc-Andre Ter Stegen and his wife Dani have decided to part ways.
After eight years of marriage, the couple shared a joint statement revealing their separation.
They first met in 2012 and are parents to two children, Ben, who is 5, and Tom, who is 1.
They have made the difficult choice to separate and will prioritize their children’s well-being.
In their joint statement, the couple stated: "After careful consideration, Dani and I have decided to go our separate ways.
"This was not an easy decision, as you can imagine, but we both feel it is the right step for us."
"Our primary focus is to ensure the best for our children, providing them with a stable and loving environment.
"We are dedicated to co-parenting and will continue to treat each other with respect and appreciation, as we always have.
"During this private time, we kindly request understanding and respect for our privacy, especially for our children."
Ter Stegen has been sidelined with a knee injury since September while playing for Barcelona.
Recently, he shared updates indicating his return to training and potential comeback soon.
