MATS HUMMELS went public with his stunning new girlfriend at last night’s Ballon d’Or ceremony.
The Germany defender was dressed to impress in a black tuxedo and was pictured arriving with gorgeous model Nicola Cavanis.
Hummels, 35, and the beauty ten years his junior were seen holding hands as they hit the red carpet.
Nicola stunned in a figure-hugging pale dress and was all smiles with her new man.
It was the first time they had been seen together in public after several reports in the German press that they were dating.
Nicola, who started her career as a model as a teenager, shot to fame in her homeland after starring in a Nivea advert in 2021.
She has since represented brands like Victoria’s Secret, Puma, MCM, New Yorker and Tchibo.
Nicola also has a huge following on social media, boasting 1.9 million on Instagram, 500,000 on TikTok.
Despite being born in Bavaria, she does not support Hummels’ former club Bayern Munich, and is instead a fan of Augsburg.
Hummels is with Nicola following his split from wife Cathy Fischer in 2022.
They were married for seven years and they have a son named Ludwig, 6.
The 36-year-old used to pose for Playboy and was named Germany’s Wag of the Year in 2013 when Hummels was at Borussia Dortmund.
She also once admitted to being open to kissing anyone, saying: “I love to snog when I’m drunk. The sex is irrelevant, I don’t care.
“I also kiss women in such situations. Then I just want to snog.”
Asked about how many people she has slept with, she added: “I can count them with one hand.
“I don’t open my castle to anyone. To me, this is a very private matter.”
Hummels, who now plays for Roma, came 29th in the Ballon d’Or last night.
