Tomáš Plekanec forms new family with tennis star Lucie Šafářová after split from Lucie Vondráčková
Czech ice‑hockey player Tomáš Plekanec and singer Lucie Vondráčková announced their divorce in 2018 following a turbulent split that featured mutual accusations of infidelity. Plekanec alleged that actor Matěj Hádek made nightly visits to Vondráčková’s home, prompting security staff to initially suspect a burglar, while Vondráčková claimed the couple’s children rejected tennis player Lucie Šafářová, who later became Plekanec’s partner.
Plekanec and Šafářová began seeing each other during the separation, a fact Plekanec stressed was unrelated to the divorce. They have since married and have two children together, while the children from Plekanec’s previous marriage to Vondráčková remain with their mother. Relations between Plekanec and Vondráčková have gradually eased, but Vondráčková’s comments about the children’s reaction to Šafářová remain a notable part of the public narrative.
