Schweinsteiger is currently on vacation after leading the German national team to the semi- finals of Euro 2016, where the three-time champions were knocked out by hosts France.
On the other hand, Ivanovic had suffered a shocking first round exit in the first round in the Wimbledon women’s singles last month.
The newlyweds are expected to return to action in their respective sports by the first week of August.
