Roger Federer and his longtime partner Mirka have officially decided to part ways after years of marriage, bringing an end to one of the most admired relationships in the world of sports. The couple, who met during the 2000 Sydney Olympics and married in 2009, share four children and have long been seen as a pillar of unity and discretion amid Federer’s storied tennis career.
In a joint statement, the pair acknowledged the emotional weight of the decision, stating, “We gave it everything but ultimately realized we were growing in different directions.” Despite the separation, they emphasized a continued commitment to co-parenting and mutual respect, noting that their years together were filled with love, growth, and unforgettable experiences.
Mirka, a former tennis player herself, had largely stepped out of the public eye to support Federer’s career and raise their family, often seen courtside at his biggest matches. Over the years, she became an integral part of his journey, both personally and professionally.
The announcement has stirred a mix of shock and support from fans worldwide, many of whom viewed their bond as unshakable. The couple has requested privacy as they navigate this transition, focusing on their children’s well-being and preserving the deep friendship that still binds them.
