Delayed separation: The Hummels are officially divorced

For a long time, the separation of Mats and Cathy Hummels was just a rumor. Only months later did the couple confirm that they would go their separate ways from now on. Now the divorce is finally complete, but Mats Hummels will be late for it in the morning.

Entrepreneur and presenter Cathy Hummels and her ex-husband, soccer star Mats Hummels, have officially divorced. The ex-couple appeared on Monday morning for the divorce date before the Munich district court, as reported by the "Bild" newspaper. After more than seven years of marriage together, the couple is finally going their separate ways shortly before Christmas.

According to information from the "Bild" newspaper, the court date could only begin about ten minutes late, since BVB professional Hummels apparently appeared too late for his own divorce. Ex-wife Cathy Hummels humorously took up the delay on Instagram. In one story, she wrote: "I'm waiting for @aussenrist15. There are appointments where you shouldn't be late," followed by a wink smiley.

The ex-husbands want to continue to form a team for their four-year-old son Ludwig. In a joint statement, they said, "Today marked our divorce. We continue to be friends, family and caring parents." After the court hearing, Mats and Cathy Hummels first went to have breakfast together. "We had 13 wonderful years," the ex-couple said.
