Barcelona goalkeeper Marc-Ande ter Stegen has gone public with his new relationship just three months after announcing the split from his wife of nearly eight years.

The first of two photos shared on the German’s Instagram account showed what appeared to be his hand held by another and resting on the knee of a person in a floral dress, with the accompanying caption ‘junts’, which means ‘together in Catalan’. 

A second image featured a smiling woman sitting by the sea and looking out to the sunset. 

According to Bild, the shotstopper’s new flame is rumoured to be Ona Sellares. She also appeared to confirm the romance by posting images from their Athens getaway and sharing Ter Stegen’s story. 

Additionally, after German’s 2-1 Nations League defeat by Portugal earlier this month – Ter Stegen’s first International minutes since returning from a ruptured patella tendon – she posted a photo of herself wearing a Germany shirt at the Allianz Arena. 

Little is known about Sellares, who has almost 19,000 followers on Instagram.
