[Saba Sports News] Recently, Danish badminton star and Olympic champion Viktor Axelsen updated his social media to announce his breakup with fiancée Natalia. The couple will continue to co-parent their two daughters. Axelsen wrote: “Life doesn’t always go as planned. After careful consideration, Natalia and I have decided to embark on new chapters in our lives. In the future, we will together protect our two lovely daughters and strive to be the best parents we can be. We sincerely hope for your understanding and space, and we will not be making any further comments on this matter. Thank you!”
In May 2019, Danish media reported that Axelsen and Natalia had been in a relationship for eight years. Natalia, who is one year younger than Axelsen, was also a national team player in women’s singles badminton, achieving a highest world ranking of 35 before leaving the national team in 2018. Axelsen and Natalia met in 2011 and maintained a romantic relationship. After an eight-year low-key romance, they publicly announced their relationship in 2019 and got engaged in 2021. The 31-year-old Axelsen and Natalia have two daughters, named Anvi and Anzi.
