Tadej Pogačar, the Slovenian cycling sensation and two-time Tour de France winner, has recently made headlines for reasons off the bike. Pogačar and his girlfriend, Urska Zigart, have announced their separation following rumors of infidelity involving the star cyclist.
The couple, who had been together for several years, had often shared their love for each other publicly, with Zigart, a professional cyclist herself, frequently supporting Pogačar during his races. However, their relationship came under strain after allegations surfaced that Pogačar was involved in an extramarital affair.
In a joint statement released on social media, the couple addressed the situation. “We have decided to go our separate ways,” the statement read. “This has been an incredibly difficult decision for both of us, but we believe it is the right one at this time. We ask for privacy and understanding as we navigate this challenging period.”
Pogačar also took to Instagram to share his thoughts, writing, “I am deeply sorry for the pain I have caused. Urska is an incredible person, and I regret that my actions have hurt her. I am committed to learning from this experience and becoming a better person.”
Friends and fans of the couple have expressed their support, with many hoping that both Pogačar and Zigart can find peace and healing during this difficult time. As Pogačar prepares for the upcoming cycling season, it remains to be seen how this personal turmoil will impact his performance on the world stage.
