Barcelona goalkeeper Marc-André ter Stegen is facing a personal setback following the announcement of his separation from his wife, Daniela Jehle. The couple, who had been together for seven years and have two children, shared a joint statement on social media to confirm their decision to part ways.
In the statement, both emphasized their commitment to prioritizing their children’s well-being and maintaining a respectful co-parenting relationship. They also requested privacy during this challenging time, especially for the sake of their children.
The news came as a shock to fans, particularly since it follows the birth of their second child just a year ago. Ter Stegen and Jehle had married in 2017 in a private ceremony in Sitges, near Barcelona, and their relationship had appeared strong up until this point.
This separation adds to the difficulties the 32-year-old German goalkeeper is facing, as he has been sidelined with a ruptured patella tendon since September, an injury that required surgery and has kept him out of action for most of the season.
Despite his personal challenges, Ter Stegen remains optimistic about his recovery and potential return to the pitch, stating, “We’ll see… I’m working on it.”
