Gotze's bikini-wearing model wife helps him get over World Cup heartbreak

MARIO GOTZE's model wife is helping him get over Germany's World Cup heartbreak as she took to the beach in a tiny bikini.

The World Cup 2014 final goalscorer married Ann-Kathrin, 33, in 2018 having been together six years.

Ann-Kathrin was by Gotze's side from his Borussia Dortmund days and was also a pillar during his struggle with myopathy.

Gotze's battle with the disease of the muscle, in which the muscle fibers do not function properly, and also causes weakness and rapid fatigue, threatened his career at the top level.

But his resurgence in Holland at PSV and then a return to Germany to play for Eintracht Frankfurt saw Gotze be recalled to the national team set-up.

His cameo in the 2-1 World Cup group stage loss to Japan ended his five-year absence from the Germany national team.

His last appearance came in 2017 in a 2-2 draw with France.

A draw with Spain and 4-2 win over Costa Rica wasn't enough for Germany to book a knockout spot, sending the four-time winners home in the group stages for the second World Cup finals in a row.

But to help Gotze get over his World Cup heartbreak, his model wife Ann-Kathrin took to the beaches in Dubai in a tiny bikini.

The mother to Rome, 2, slipped into a black and white Chanel set and posed for a mirror selfie.

Followers flooded to the comments section to shower Ann-Kathrin with compliments.

One said: "Beautiful."

Another replied: "Is this hot mama island? Wow!"
