Cathy and Mats Hummels Publicly Affirm 50/50 Custody of Son Ludwig

His post‑career return to Munich made the equal‑time rotation feasible.

Overview

  • Cathy Hummels said in a new Instagram video that since July last year their eight-year-old son spends one week with her and one week with Mats.
  • She acknowledged the switch was difficult at first but said she now benefits from the model because it gives her space for her private life.
  • Mats Hummels told GQ in late February that he enjoys the structured days when his son is with him and that he appreciates the arrangement.
  • The equal-time setup followed Mats ending his playing career and relocating to Munich after stints tied to clubs in Dortmund and a year in Rome.
  • The pair continue to present a cooperative approach, including celebrating Ludwig’s eighth birthday together in January.
