Jens Lehmann's wife of 25 years reveals they are DIVORCED after he attacked neighbour's house with chainsaw
JENS LEHMANN'S wife of 25 years, Conny, has confirmed the couple have divorced.
Lehmann, 55, has long lived separated from his former partner, with Conny, 52, moving out of their villa in Starnberg before they called it quits.

Speaking to Bild, Conny was reluctant to go into detail about her split with Lehmann, but said: "I'm single. I'm a happy single."
The pair had met in 1995 before officially getting together in 1999 and marrying in October of that year.
Conny has two children with Lehmann, 24-year-old Mats and 18-year-old Lieselotta.
Lehmann also adopted Conny's child from a previous relationship with ex-Borussia Dortmund and Germany midfielder, Knut Reinhardt.
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 chainsaw to hack through the roof beams on his neighbour's garage by Lake Starnberg, which is in the Bavaria region of Germany.
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 Oktoberfest celebrations, it is claimed the former Germany No.1 vomited twice and failed a breathalyser after being pulled over by police.
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."

I was tickling my toddler when I realized a devastating truth that nearly killed me... always trust your gut
One Sunday morning between Christmas and New Year, Christine Kalafus was tickling her four-year-old son, Trevor, when he accidentally elbowed her in the chest. Under any other circumstances, the incident would have passed without note. It certainly wouldn't be something that the young mother, who was eight months pregnant with twins at the time, would have recalled 25 years later.

British father, 62, dies 'while go-karting with his children in Spain'
A British father has died while reportedly go-karting with his children in Spain. The 62-year-old is said to have gone into cardiac arrest while he was with his two children at a track near the town of Ciutadella in Menorca. He and his children had been visiting the outdoors go-kart track, Castillo Menorca, on Sunday, which describes itself as the holiday island's largest of its kind. But at around 3pm, the man is believed to have gone into cardiac arrest while his wife remined in the villa the family were staying in, located in Cala En Porter in the south of the island. Paramedics scrambled to the scene of the incident and attempted to revive him for over an hour. But tragically, they were unable to save him. It was not immediately clear if the British man lived on the island or if he was holidaying there, and police are yet to make any comment. A post-mortem is expected to take place tomorrow. It comes after a British father-of-one died in front of his father and friends while celebrating his stag do in Benidorm after he collapsed at a bar in March. The groom-to-be, 29, from Halifax, was enjoying drinks at the Funky Flamingo bar when tragedy struck, sparking a major response from emergency services. Bar manager Gaston Luciano told MailOnline in April how the Briton fell backwards off a bar stool and hit his head. And last month, CCTV footage emerged showing the final moments of a British father-of-four who plunged to his death from a Benidorm cliff in 2023. The video showed devoted father Nathan Osman, 30 - who was holidaying in Benidorm with friends - walking steadily along the Spanish resort's famed seafront just hours before he was found dead at the bottom of a 500ft cliff. Spanish authorities ruled Nathan's death was an accident or that he had possibly taken his own life - but his family immediately suspected foul play. His brother and sister turned detective to trawl through CCTV evidence, gather witness statements and access phone and bank records in a bid to force police to reopen the probe. In their search, they managed to find footage of Nathan at 4.08am walking alone along the party resort's promenade 'looking fine' before he was found hours later at the bottom of a cliff.
