Thomas Müller no longer follows his wife Lisa on Instagram. Once again, the couple is fueling rumors of a separation. But how did the love drama even begin?
On Tuesday morning, RTL reported that Thomas Müller had made changes to his subscriber list on Instagram. The FC Bayern star deleted his wife Lisa. It is not known exactly when this happened. But one thing is certain: With this decision, the 35-year-old is fueling the rumor mill – which has been bubbling since May. But why actually?
Lisa and Thomas Müller met through friends in 2007. They fell in love, became a couple – and the footballer asked his girlfriend the question of all questions at Christmas 2008. Almost a year after their engagement, the two secretly married. Even his teammates only found out about the wedding from the press.
They had a picture-perfect marriage. No scandals, no rumors. Instead, the two repeatedly appeared together in public, for example attending the Oktoberfest together and posing for photographers at various events. They also presented themselves as a unit on Instagram, sometimes posting couple photos, especially on Christmas and New Year’s Eve.
At the beginning of May, Lisa Müller suddenly deleted all of the photos with her husband. She also unfollowed Thomas Müller on Instagram. She, on the other hand, could still be found in his subscriber list. The first rumors were loud. But shortly afterwards the footballer showed up at a horse festival where his wife was competing. When asked about the speculation, he said: “Everything is okay.”
A week and a half later, Lisa and Thomas Müller attended a concert by the German rapper Apache together. As the “Abendzeitung München” wrote at the time, the mood between the two was said to be good and the couple seemed familiar. The rumors of an end to the marriage became fewer, especially when Thomas Müller ran onto the soccer field at the beginning of June during Germany’s international match against Ukraine with the words “Lisa” on his shoe.
A week later the European Championships started in Germany. Lisa Müller was missing from almost every game. Again speculation arose about a marriage ending. The 35-year-old explained to the magazine “Bunte” at the time that she was at a horse show in Austria and was therefore not sitting in the stands. She has been successful as a dressage rider for ten years.
Two weeks later, Thomas Müller announced the end of his DFB career. The FC Bayern star played his last international match on October 14th. The 35-year-old was bid farewell together with Manuel Neuer and İlkay Gündoğan. While his teammates’ wives sat in the stands, Lisa Müller was once again conspicuous by her absence.
A week after his departure, it is now noticeable: Thomas Müller no longer follows his wife on Instagram. The Bayern star does not comment on the speculation, but instead remains silent and concentrates unreservedly on football. Lisa Müller, on the other hand, told RTL: “I’m not an appendage or a handbag of his.”
