Dominika Cibulková and Michal Navara are officially divorced following a period of public speculation and allegations of infidelity. While the legal dissolution of the marriage is complete, the former couple faces a complex division of assets involving millions of euros in real estate and business ventures, according to reports from Koktejl.azet.sk and Nový Čas.
Navara confirms divorce after infidelity claims
Michal Navara confirmed to Nový Čas that he and the former tennis star are “long since divorced.” The separation followed a crisis that Cibulková first mentioned publicly over a year ago, citing the challenges of parenthood as a factor that changed their relationship, Diva.sk reported.
Navara provided a different catalyst for the split. He stated to Nový Čas that he was forced to leave the family home and start an independent life after Cibulková began an extramarital affair approximately one year prior. Navara stated that Cibulková had an extramarital affair, and sources mention Cibulková is now seen with businessman Tibor Vincze, whom a source described as a very close friend of Navara.
Did you know? Michal Navara previously left a career as a government official at a ministry to join Cibulková’s professional team, handling her daily organization, travel, and collaborations to provide her with stability during her tennis career.
Conflict over business ties and family violence
The fallout extended into the couple’s professional circles. Alexandra Vincze, the former wife of Tibor Vincze, mentioned that Navara and Iryna were involved in business activities. Alexandra stated that Navara eventually transferred his share of the baguette businesses to Iryna because communication had broken down.
The transition was marked by further volatility. Following the discovery of the alleged infidelity, sources cited by Diva.sk claimed Navara suffered significantly and communicated with Cibulková exclusively through lawyers for a period.
Million-euro asset division remains open
Although the marriage is legally over, the financial settlement is not. Koktejl.azet.sk reports that the division of property remains an open question. The stakes are high, as Cibulková earned nearly 13 million euros in prize money during her professional career.
The assets subject to division include:
- A Bratislava maisonette valued at 2.5 million euros.
- A renovated cottage in Záhorie.
- Various investment apartments.
- Several profitable business activities involving Navara and Cibulková’s father.
According to legal commentary provided by lawyer Kadúc in Svetevity.sk, assets acquired during the marriage typically fall under joint ownership (BSM) unless they were received as gifts or inheritance. The former couple has three years from the date of divorce to reach an agreement or file a lawsuit before the law presumes a specific settlement of shared ownership.
Cibulková and Navara start new relationships
Both parties have moved on to new relationships. Cibulková is now appearing publicly with businessman Tibor Vincze. Navara is in a relationship with Iryna, a woman 15 years his junior who serves as a manager for their cafes.
Navara’s new relationship became public after anonymous photos were leaked via email. Navara told Nový Čas that the photos came from a private device accessible only to him and his partner. According to social media activity, Navara has introduced Iryna to his mother, who now follows her on Instagram.
Case Detail: In Slovak law, assets bought the day before a wedding remain exclusive property, while assets bought on the wedding day are considered joint, according to Svetevity.sk.
