Lothar Matthäus attends Ballon d'Or with partner Theresa Sommer

Former German national football player Lothar Matthäus attended the Ballon d'Or gala in London accompanied by his partner, Theresa Sommer. The 65-year-old appeared on the red carpet in a classic black suit and white shirt, while Sommer, 27, wore a shimmering black midi dress with silver pumps.

This marks the couple's second appearance at the prestigious football awards, following their joint appearance at the Ballon d'Or in Paris in September 2025. The pair has been seen together at various events since early 2025, including a celebrity ski race in Ischgl and Oktoberfest.

Matthäus, a 1990 World Cup winner, has previously addressed the 38-year age difference in interviews, noting that he has often been surrounded by younger people throughout his life and emphasizing the importance of reliability in a partner. He has been married five times previously.
