Sophia Thomalla, the dynamic German actress, model, and television presenter, has once again captured the spotlight, this time with a striking new appearance unveiled on social media after returning to Germany from Paris. The 35-year-old, long-time partner of tennis star Alexander Zverev, was in the French capital to support her beau during his impressive run at the 2024 Paris Masters, where he clinched the title with a commanding 6-2, 6-2 victory over home favorite Ugo Humbert. Thomalla’s vibrant presence courtside and her playful online persona have made her a beloved figure among fans, and her latest style transformation has only amplified the buzz surrounding this power couple.
Born on October 6, 1989, in East Berlin, Thomalla grew up immersed in the entertainment world, the daughter of actors Simone Thomalla and André Vetters. Her career, spanning modeling, acting, and hosting, has seen her become a household name in Germany. From her debut role in the 2006 crime series *Commissario Laurenti* to hosting the German version of *Are You the One?*, Thomalla’s charisma and versatility have earned her a massive following, with over 1.3 million Instagram fans eagerly tracking her travels, fashion choices, and moments with Zverev. Her new look, debuted on June 13, 2025, via Instagram highlights, features a bold shift—rumored to include a chic haircut and vibrant makeup that accentuates her signature edgy style. Fans flooded her posts with praise, with comments like “Charm and beauty!” and “You’re simply a dream couple” echoing the sentiment of her devoted audience.
Thomalla’s trip to Paris was more than a fashion statement; it was a testament to her unwavering support for Zverev, the World No. 2, whose 2024 season was a triumph. His Paris Masters victory marked his seventh ATP Masters 1000 title and a tour-leading 66th win of the year, propelling him past Carlos Alcaraz in the rankings. Thomalla, ever the proud partner, celebrated his achievement with a cheeky Instagram post, sharing a photo of Zverev with the tree-like trophy and joking, “Finally a tree at home that doesn’t die. Congrats, @alexzverev123.” She joined him on court post-match, posing alongside his family and coaching team, her infectious energy a highlight of the celebration. Later, at Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport, she playfully teased Zverev about their “romantic dinner” of a donut and lemonade, posting, “Finally. The romantic dinner in Paris I was hoping for @alexzverev123,” showcasing the couple’s lighthearted dynamic.
The couple, who began dating in 2020, have become a fixture at tournaments and red-carpet events, their chemistry evident in both public appearances and Thomalla’s candid social media posts. Zverev, who credits Thomalla for bringing “peace and security” to his life, has spoken openly about her impact. “I think for tennis players it is always very important who you have next to you,” he told a German tennis magazine in 2021. “I play extremely well with her behind me and I hope that will continue to be the case.” Their bond, marked by playful gestures like a secret handshake at the 2025 Australian Open—where Zverev quipped, “This is the coolest version of German you can be”—has endeared them to fans. Thomalla’s support extends beyond the stands; she’s a vocal advocate for Zverev’s *Alexander Zverev Foundation*, which aids children with diabetes, a cause close to his heart as a Type 1 diabetic. “You are beautiful inside and out,” she wrote in a 2022 tribute. “What you do for children with diabetes is incredible.”
Thomalla’s return to Germany followed a bittersweet French Open, where Zverev fell to Novak Djokovic in the quarterfinals. Despite the loss, her presence in Paris and her bold new look signal a fresh chapter for the couple as they head toward the 2025 Wimbledon Championships. Thomalla, who once starred in Netflix’s *Break Point* and teased Zverev for his chronic tardiness—“He’ll probably come late to his own wedding”—continues to balance her multifaceted career with her role as Zverev’s biggest cheerleader. With her striking new style and their shared ambition, Thomalla and Zverev remain a captivating duo, blending the glamour of entertainment with the grit of professional tennis.
