Matthaus, 64, has been spotted at numerous public outings with Instagram model Theresa Sommer, 26.
The 26-year-old accompanied the Bayern Munich icon to a recent celebrity ski race in Ischgl, Austria.
Matthus told A2 Television: "We came for skiing, and the rest is a private matter."
Sommer has also been snapped watching the Nations League final in Munich with the ex-footballer.
The model studied economics at King's College in London and then Durham University, according to The Mail.
It is unknown if the pair's relationship is platonic or romantic.
Matthaus did not return comment when approached by German publication BILD.
The former Ballon d'Or winner has been married five times since tying the knot with first wife Silvia in 1981, before divorcing in 1992.
He married Swiss model and TV presenter Lolita Morena two years later and had a son.
But the marriage lasted just five years with the former Miss Universe contestant.

His next relationship came after Matthaus had hung up his boots and headed into management.
The German met Marijana Colic during his coaching spell with Partizan in Belgrade.
They married in 2003 but filed for a messy divorce six years down the line.
In December 2008, Matthaus wed 21-year-old Ukrainian model Kristina Liliana Chudinova in Las Vegas.
By early 2010 the pair - who shared a 26-year age gap - were already living apart.
His fifth and final marriage came in 2014 with Klimko, whom he shares a son, Milan.
The couple broke up in 2021 but appeared to reconcile at Oktoberfest two years later.
Matthaus is one of the 20th century's most successful stars.
He captained Germany to World Cup glory in 1990 and played over 400 times for Bayern across two spells.

Johnny Depp and Penelope Cruz snap a smiling selfie during museum visit after reuniting for their fourth movie
Johnny Depp and Penelope Cruz enjoyed time together at a museum this week while filming on set in Spain. The two actors, who frequently collaborated together on major blockbuster movies in the past, visited the Museo Reina Sofía while filming their fourth movie together in Madrid. On Friday, the museum and Depp shared a joint Instagram post with photos of the acting duo enjoying the artwork. The stylish pair posed for a smiling selfie together and also wrapped their arms around each other's shoulders as they stood in front of a black-and-white mural. The caption read: 'Thanks for joining us @johnnydepp and @penelopecruzoficial, until next time!' Depp and Cruz's Pirates of the Caribbean franchise costar Orlando Bloom left a comment to show his support as he left two red heart emojis on the post — just shortly after he teased the possibility of 'getting the band together' for a new movie. Depp, 62, and Cruz, 51, are currently filming Day Drinker, their upcoming action thriller. The forthcoming film marks their fourth collaboration after they worked together on Blow in 2001, Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides in 2011 and Murder on the Orient Express in 2017. Depp and Cruz's forthcoming movie Day Drinker is directed by Marc Webb and written by Zach Dean. The upcoming film follows an enigmatic stranger forms an unlikely bond with a grieving bartender who lost her lover, their lives intertwining in unexpected ways. Depp plays the 'mysterious' guest on board a private yacht who crosses paths with the bartender, who is played by Madelyn Cline. The synopsis reads as follows: 'They soon find themselves entangled with a criminal figure (Cruz) and connected in ways no one saw coming.' The cast also includes Manu Ríos, Arón Piper, Juan Diego Botto, Anika Boyle and many more. The film marks Depp's return to Hollywood as it's his first role in film from a major distributor since he starred in 2018's Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald. Ever since the end of his highly publicized, 2022 defamation trial with his ex-wife Amber Heard, who currently lives in Madrid, he has made a slow return to the film industry. He starred in the French film Jeanne du Barry that opened the 2023 Cannes Film Festival and directed the movie Modi: Three Days on the Wing of Madness. At the movie's premiere last September at the San Sebastian FIlm Festival, Cruz reunited with Depp. She previously defended him and even submitted declarations in court on behalf of Depp during his trial. 'Many years have passed and I have not only made three movies with him, but I also count on him as a great friend,' she wrote about her longtime collaborator.

Bachelor curse strikes again as another winning couple split
The Bachelor curse strikes again as another winning couple have broken up. The winning couple of season 29 of The Bachelor, Grant Ellis and Juliana Pasquarosa, have called it quits. Nearly three months the season finale aired, the pair announced that they have decided to split and ended their engagement. 'This is one of the harder things I've had to write, but I want to share it honestly,' Ellis wrote on his Instagram Story as he shared the news. This comes after he made history on the franchise series and also received backlash, being dubbed the 'worst Bachelor ever,' for how he behaved in the finale episode. 'Juliana and I have decided to end our relationship,' he shared in his post announcing the end of their relationship. 'We both gave this our best and poured a lot of love into each other, but after a lot of deep conversations, we've come to the understanding that we're simply not the right fit long term.' He reassured fans that their connection was 'real' but explained that they decided to separate because they are 'not the right fit' for each other. He also wrote that they ended on good terms without 'negativity' nor 'resentment.' 'What we had was meaningful. The connection on the show was real, and so was the effort we made to continue once the cameras stopped rolling,' he wrote. 'There's no negativity here. No resentment. Just two people who care about each other and want the best for one another moving forward. I'll always be grateful for what we shared and for the growth that came with it.' He concluded his post and wrote: 'Thank you to everyone who supported us and believed in our journey. This chapter is closing, but we're both walking away with love and respect in our hearts.' Pasquarosa also shared the news in her own words on her Instagram Story. Alongside a photo of them on The Bachelor, Pasquarosa gushed about their time together. 'It's a gift to find someone who sees the world in a way that resonates with you, while also encouraging you to grow. I've been grateful to share that experience with Grant.' She then addressed the end of their engagement. 'Marriage is a commitment, and it's one we both still believe in deeply. 'After a lot of honest conversations and reflection, we've come to the decision that this chapter of our lives is meant to continue on separate paths,' she continued. 'We shared something meaningful, navigating a unique journey side by side, learning, growing, and showing up for each other the best we knew how. 'And while this isn't the ending we once imagined, it's one filled with mutual respect, care, and hope for what's ahead,' she added. She concluded: 'We're still cheering each other on, just from different places now. I'm beyond thankful for all the love and support you all have given us. Please be kind.' Just last month, Pasquarosa made an appearance on the Bachelor Happy Hour podcast and spoke about wedding planning without any seeming indication that their relationship was in on the rocks. She said on the podcast that she was excited to start shopping for her dream wedding dress and spoke about how she wanted to get married in Italy. During the season finale in March 2025, many fans thought Grant would end up alone after spotting awkward body language during the Women Tell All Episode two weeks prior. However, during the finale he couldn't decide between the two women left - Juliana and Litia. Litia had said that Grant had been telling her all along she was the one he wanted - even kissing her a few times before he broke the news to her that he was sending her home and choosing Juliana. When Grant asked if she felt he had been misleading her, 'she said, 'The things you've said to me all along the way make this decision that you've made so much more devastating. For me, the switchup is crazy.' While Grant insisted, 'I didn't switch up,' he ultimately took responsibility for that adding it came down to the 'final day and I had to make a decision.' Juliana and Grant's breakup comes just days on the heels of another franchise spli t. Earlier this week, it was revealed that The Bachelorette star Jenn Tran, who appeared on season 21 of the series, had called it quits with Dancing with the Stars pro Sasha Farber.
