German former Chelsea star Michael Ballack is thought to be dating a 21-year-old friend of his late son Emilio less than a year after the 18-year-old was killed in a quad bike tragedy in Portugal.
Ballack, 45, was spotted enjoying a visit to Art Basel, a fair for Modern and contemporary art, with his model girlfriend Sophia Schneiderhan, 21.
The pair, who got close after Ballack’s son’s fatal accident, appeared loved up and were seen kissing in public, German outlet Bild reported.
It is not the first time the couple have been seen out together after they were seen out in a trendy district of Berlin.
It comes less than a year after Ballack’s son Emilio was killed when his quad bike tipped backwards and crushed him as he reversed and lost control following a family BBQ at Ballack’s Portuguese holiday home.
