From Braunschweig to world champion: Dennis Schröder's happiness in love
In the world of basketball there are always stories that touch the heart. One such is that of Dennis Schröder, the German basketball superstar who became world champion in 2023. His life story is not only characterized by sporting success, but also by a deep, long-standing love for his wife Ellen Ziolo. The two met in Braunschweig at the tender age of 14, when Schröder became aware of Ellen through his brother Cheyassin Secka. This reports Mercury.
Dennis and Ellen's relationship was not immediately romantic. They only became a couple ten years after their first meeting, in March 2018. Ellen, who was born on December 10, 1991, has not only made a name for herself as Schröder's partner. She is also a successful model who has worked with renowned brands such as Versace and Chanel Essentially Sports mentioned.
Shared ups and downs
After their marriage on July 20, 2019 at Richmond Castle in Braunschweig, where around 350 to 400 guests were present, the couple moved to the USA. This decision was not easy and moving through different cities such as Oklahoma, Atlanta, Boston and Los Angeles presented some challenges. Ellen reported hostility and hate messages that she received because of her relationship and her children. Despite all the adversity, Dennis proudly shows how important his family is to him in their public appearances and on social media. Their first son, Dennis Malick Jr., was born in February 2019, followed by daughter Imalia Aaliyah in August 2020 and most recently, in December 2022, by son Amari.
Ellen has an impressive social media presence, with over 300,000 followers on Instagram. There she shares insights into her life as a mother, model and partner. A recent funny post showed her son reacting to the news of Dennis' move to the Golden State Warriors, once again highlighting the positive family atmosphere.
What the future brings
Schröder himself is often referred to as Ellen's rock and best friend. Not only do the two have a strong connection with each other, but they also support each other in their respective careers and challenges. It is their ambition and support for each other that holds their family together and guides them through ups and downs. While Dennis breaks records on the basketball court, Ellen overcomes everyday challenges as a mother and businesswoman.
The experiences they have had in their relationship also seem to have a significant influence on their children. The connection and understanding that they radiate as parents gives hope for a promising future - both in sport and in family life.
