MATS HUMMELS’ ex-wife Cathy claims that the defender did not invite his seven-year-old son to his Borussia Dortmund farewell match.
The German World Cup winner, 36, retired aged 36 following a short stint at Roma.
Having played over 500 times for Dortmund across three spells, Hummels was invited back to his former club to play in a farewell match over the weekend.
The centre-back received incredible acclaim from the club’s fans as he featured in Dortmund’s 2-1 defeat to Juventus alongside their current crop.
Hummels was cheered on at Signal Iduna Park by model girlfriend Nicola Cavanis, 26.
His ex-wife Cathy and son Ludwig, however, were not present at the game.
The 78-cap ex-Germany star split from Cathy in 2022 following seven years of marriage, and began dating Nicola the following year.
Cathy, 37, shared a snap of Ludwig alongside a newspaper with his dad’s picture on it.
She wrote: “Someone stole my cap and read about Dad’s farewell in the newspaper. So he knows what it was like.”
In a further post, Cathy added: “To clarify: We are not intentionally missing Mats Hummels’ final game.
“I put my son an extra newspaper so he can read everything,’ she wrote.
‘The reason we are NOT there is simply gone: We were NOT invited or knew about it.
“We are now enjoying our wonderful vacation with the family again.
“Goodbye Aussenrist 15. Congratulations on your remarkable career.”
While Hummels was being honoured, Cathy and Ludwig were around 400 miles away on holiday at Lake Chiemsee.
Nicola, meanwhile, is a successful model and has worked for the likes of Victoria’s Secret and Puma.
