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.READ MORE IN FOOTBALLThey 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.Most read in FootballJoin SUN CLUB for the Arsenal Files every Friday plusin-depth coverage and exclusives from The EmiratesThe 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.These WILD Liverpool stats spell Arsenal disaster | Experts’ best betsThe 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.Read More on The SunThe 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.” More
