Mats Hummels, 35, a German national team defender, officially introduced his new partner, 25-year-old model Nicola Cavanis, during the Ballon d'Or award ceremony.
Mats Hummels appeared on the red carpet with Nicola Cavanis, garnering significant attention from the media and fans. The couple, holding hands, captured attention with their elegance. Nicola dazzled in a white, form-fitting gown, while Hummels looked stylish in a black tuxedo.
According to information provided by "The Sun", this was the couple's first official public appearance, although German media had previously speculated about their relationship.
Nicola, who began her modelling career as a teenager, gained popularity in Germany after appearing in a Nivea advertisement in 2021. She has worked with brands like Victoria's Secret, Puma, MCM, New Yorker, and Tchibo.
The model enjoys immense popularity on social media. She has 1.9 million followers on Instagram and 500 thousand fans on TikTok. Although she hails from Bavaria, she doesn't support Hummels' former club, Bayern Munich, but is a fan of FC Augsburg.
Hummels started dating Nicola after separating from his wife, Cathy Fischer, in 2022. They were married for seven years and have a six-year-old son, Ludwig. Cathy, also a model, posed for Playboy and was chosen as WAG of the Year in Germany in 2013, when Hummels played for Borussia Dortmund.
