Cathy Hummels Struggles to Adjust to New Fifty-Fifty Custody Model

She said the change has left her feeling sad at not being able to anticipate her son’s return each night.

Overview

  • The shared-custody arrangement began after Mats Hummels ended his time with AS Roma and now spends equal time with their seven-year-old son, Ludwig.
  • In an Instagram story, Cathy revealed that during the first week of the new routine she found it emotionally challenging to be apart from her child half the time.
  • She emphasized that granting both parents the same rights to time with Ludwig represents a fair solution for their family.
  • The presenter announced plans to focus on rebuilding her private life and redefining her personal identity outside of motherhood.
  • The shift to fifty-fifty custody marks a major change since their December 2022 divorce, after which Cathy had raised Ludwig largely on her own.
