Former Germany international and ex-Chelsea midfielder Michael Ballack, 48, is considering legal action over false reports alleging that his 23-year-old life partner, Sophia Schneiderhan, was previously involved with his late son, Emilio.
Emilio, one of three children Ballack had with his ex-wife Simone Lambe, tragically passed away in a quad biking accident in 2021.
The rumors surfaced despite Ballack and Schneiderhan being seen together publicly and on social media, leading Ballack to release a statement denying the allegations and warning of potential legal repercussions for those spreading the misinformation.
Captioning a photo of the both of them on Instagram, Ballack stated: "Due to recent media reports, I feel compelled to make the following clarification: My life partner Sophia is neither my late son's ex-girlfriend nor was she friends with him. We will take legal action against these untruths and ask that you respect our privacy."
