They have had an on-and-off relationship for some time now, although they went on a family holiday last year which was said to be more for the children than any sort of romantic getaway.
Conny had found a new partner while Lehmann remained in their family home before it was put up for sale.
Lehmann was caught up in controversy last year when he was fined £112,000 by a Munich court for a chainsaw attack on a neighbour's garage in September.
He had been accused of using a

The alleged incident was said to have taken place during the summer of 2022.
He was initially found guilty in December 2023, being slapped with a 10-month suspended prison sentence and ordered to pay a fine worth more than £350,000.

The former Gunner subsequently launched an appeal, as did Munich prosecutors.
According to local reports in Germany, a deal was reached between prosecutors and Lehmann's lawyers prior to the trial's resumption.
Lehmann's legal representative Florian Ufer gave an update - with his client having also been on trial for alleged unpaid parking fees.
He said: "Mr Lehmann accepts responsibility. He has come to an agreement with his neighbour. The parking fees have been paid."
Lehmann's initial £350,000 fine was reduced to around £112,000.
He is also claimed to have paid his neighbour around £50,000 in order to close the matter, which then saw criminal charges against him dropped.
Then, during
Lehmann is alleged to have been drink driving at the time of the stop, which happened at 1:30am. Police could reportedly smell alcohol from his breath through the open window of the car.
Reports in Germany claimed he got out of the car and vomited twice by the roadside before he struggled to produce his driver's license and failed with his first few attempts to do so.
He was unable to show his warning triangle and first-aid kit, and had to hold onto the car to stay upright when opening his boot.
Breath tests had to be abandoned because the 61-Cap Germany star was 'no longer able to blow' so he was instead taken to a police station for further tests.
Lehmann later went to the Munich Institute of Forensic Medicine for blood tests.
The German was ordered to appear in court with the prosecutor's office requesting a fine of £60,000 with a trial set for Thursday April 3. His driver's license was also confiscated.
He was hit with a €1,000 (£846) fine for driving under the influence of alcohol.
The judge said Lehmann had displayed "bad behaviour" in court and to police when arrested in September last year.
Lehmann said: "I misjudged myself and thought I could drive."

Met police is axing anti-terror attack dogs in an attempt to cut costs
Training and housing the dogs can cost hundreds of thousands of pounds each year DOG EAT DOG Met police is axing anti-terror attack dogs in an attempt to cut costs SCOTLAND Yard is getting rid of its elite anti-terror attack dogs in an attempt to cut costs. The Belgian Malinois are trained to attack a target even if they stop fleeing. 2 The Met said: 'We're prioritising resources and putting more officers on the beat' Credit: Getty Used in the Counter Terrorist Specialist Firearms Officer unit, they have helped to detain a large number of suspects without the need for officers to fire weapons. In 2018, the unit had four operational Malinois. Training and housing the dogs can cost hundreds of thousands of pounds each year. They cannot live with handlers and are kennelled at their London HQ. Officials said the 'tough decision' to axe the Conflict Management Dogs would help to patch up a £260million hole in its finances. But sources argue the dogs are a less lethal option than using firearms because since they have been used, the CTSFO unit has not had one fatal shooting. Malinois can be trained to be parachuted from helicopters and are used by Special Forces including the SAS. The Met said: 'We're prioritising resources and putting more officers on the beat. "We continue to have a sizeable dog unit with multiple capabilities.'

Prosecutor Nathan Davis told Bradford Crown Court on Friday: "He left after an argument and she would call him and be abusive and ask for money." At around 4pm, Bland discovered he was at a bus station in Halifax and travelled to him where she called him a racist word and a "dirty dog". She then proceeded to grab him by the collar of his coat and throw him around as she cruelly demanded cash. read more news HORROR ATTACK Eight-year-old boy's thumb bitten off in savage XL Bully attack The pensioner offered Bland £20 - but she wanted his bank card. She then became aggressive when he refused to hand it over, instead offering the alternative of going to a cash point together to withdraw money. It was on the journey she became more violent and began kicking him in the leg and screaming at him. A woman who was witnessing the horror abuse then tried to intervene but Bland turned on her - grabbing her by the scarf and threatening to "knock her jaw off" if she "didn't shut the f*** up". Bland then continued to assault the elderly man and even managed to withdraw £40 from his bank account before cops showed up. She was arrested and answered "no comment" in her interview.
