Barcelona goalkeeper Marc-André ter Stegen has responded to rumors alleging that his now-separated wife, Daniela Jehle, was cheating on him with her trainer. The German international also expressed his disappointment in the originators of such rumors and branded the allegations as false.
Ter Stegen added that while he and Daniela had decided to go their separate ways, they both maintain trustworthy communication. In a post via his official Instagram handle, the 32-year-old goalkeeper responded to the allegations made against Daniela.
He wrote (via BarcaTimes):
"I am shocked and disappointed of the poor management and lack of Leadership and Control at Catalunya Radio & 3Cat Group - distributing false news and violating personal rights. Journalists Juliana Canet, Roger Carandell and Marta Montaner are liars that have distributed false news, offending my wife Daniela and her reputation publicly in a very bad manner.
Ter Stegen added:
"There has not been any infidelity of Daniela. No third person involved. Fact. As communicated, Dani and I have decided to go different ways in good circumstances where we maintain trustful communication. It is completely unacceptable that the leading government owned media is spreading this, where Daniela being falsely accused and personally been attacked. The damage is irreparable. Marc.
