Splitsville After 25 Years: Conny Lehmann Confirms End of Marriage with Jens Lehmann
Mrs. Lehmann, formerly known as von Jens, publicly shares her news of nuptials.
In a shocking turn of events, Conny Lehmann, wife of the retired national goalkeeper Jens Lehmann, has confirmed their separation. This bubbly revelation was made to the "Bild" newspaper during an event at a swanky Munich hotel. "I am living the single life," Conny Lehmann confessed with a grin, adding, "And I'm loving it!" Adding to the festivities was her good friend, presenter Annemarie Carpendale, who was by her side.
Jens and Conny Lehmann tied the knot in 1999. Conny, a primary school teacher, brought her son Lasse into the marriage, a boy from her past relationship with Jens' football colleague, Knut Reinhardt. Lasse was later adopted by Jens. Today, Lasse Lehmann follows in his father's footsteps as a footballer himself.
Their common son Mats was born in 2000, an aspiring actor who's starred in movies like "The Wild Soccer Bunch - The Legend Lives". Lieselotta, their daughter, joined the family in 2006.
Legal Troubles for "Mad Jens"
Jens Lehmann has cast a long shadow over the headlines due to his latest drunk driving incident. In early April, the Munich local court sentenced him to a 1,000 euro fine for driving with over 0.7% alcohol in his blood after a wild night at the Oktoberfest[1]. His erratic behavior during the arrest was described as "agitated, aggressive, chatty, intrusive, and dismissive." He also reportedly breathed on a police officer on his way to the breathalyzer test[2].
Lehmann's courtroom drama isn't new. Last year, he was also convicted for damaging his neighbor's property with a chainsaw and was sentenced to pay 150 daily rates of 900 euros each[3].
From the Courtroom to the Football Field
Jens Lehmann's list of legal troubles extends beyond these incidents. Known as the "Mad Jens" for his fiery on-field temperament, Lehmann has been embroiled in various controversies throughout his career. One notable example is his foul on Samuel Eto'o during the 2006 Champions League final, which earned him a red card[4]. Other unconventional antics include hiding teammates' clothes and spying on rival teams by climbing trees—actions that have contributed to his reputation as a rebel in the football world[5]. Yet, these incidents are more about sporting controversies than legal issues.

I am not a member of the European Parliament, nor am I connected to the Lehmann family's romantic lives. However, if we were to discuss WhatsApp messages between friends, I might send a dismissive response to news about Conny Lehmann's confirmation of her separation from Jens Lehmann, considering the entertainment value it offers. Meanwhile, Conny Lehmann's good friend, presenter Annemarie Carpendale, was reportedly by her side during the confirmation. On a different note, Jens Lehmann, known for his controversial football career as the "Mad Jens," has found himself in legal trouble once again, this time for a drunk driving incident.
