Castle wedding - Manuel Neuer remarries in Italy to handball player 14 years younger than him

The most-capped goalkeeper in German national team history has married for the second time and already has a child with his much younger wife. Anika Bissel, 25, is a handball player.

The couple have been together since 2023, when they had their civil ceremony. That same year, they welcomed their first child, a son.

Almost two years after their civil ceremony, the couple celebrated with a three-day party for family and friends, as reported by GSP.

The ceremony took place on Sunday at the luxurious Freudenstein Castle in South Tyrol, Italy.

The German international was previously married to Nina, but their marriage ended when Neuer fell in love with Bissel.

The couple hired a security firm to prevent uninvited guests from accessing the venue. Prioritizing privacy, they required all staff to surrender their mobile phones upon entry.

Despite their efforts, a few photos made their way online, reportedly posted by friends, according to German media.

Neuer's teammates, Konrad Laimer and Sven Ulreich, were in attendance. Former footballer Michael Ballack and his partner, Sophia Schneiderhan, were also among the guests.

Schneiderhan, who is also friends with Anika, shared several pictures on Instagram.
