Sophia Thomalla, a model, actress, and television presenter, has emerged as a crucial figure in the life of Alexander Zverev, a German tennis star. The couple has been together since 2021, and Sophia has been vocal about her support for Zverev during his matches.
Sophia was previously in a relationship with Liverpool goalkeeper Loris Karius, and she was previously married to Norwegian musician Andy LaPlegua. Sophia has confirmed that the pair have become inseparable, and they enjoy even the simplest things together. She struggles to contain her passion to support Zverev during his matches, and her emotional reactions in the stands have been the focus of many a camera lens in recent months.
The couple is expected to make an appearance at the French Open and then Wimbledon. Zverev’s private life has been the subject of much debate since he rose to the top of tennis, with inflammatory accusations surrounding the end of a previous relationship with Olya Sharypova continuing to be a talking point. After Zverev was accused of domestic abuse by his former partner, the ATP investigated the claims and confirmed they would take no action as they found there was “insufficient evidence” to prove the allegations.
An independent investigation began in October 2021 which focused on alleged abuse at the ATP Masters 1000 event in Shanghai in 2019, as well as other locations including Monaco, New York and Geneva.
However, it was unable to substantiate the allegations, and no disciplinary action will be taken by the ATP. ATP chief executive Massimo Calvelli said in a statement that the exhaustive process was necessary to reach an informed judgment and that it has shown the need for the ATP to be more responsive on safeguarding matters.
