Liverpool flop Loris Karius admits he’s ‘drifted apart’ from Sophia after intimate pics of him emerge with mystery woman
LIVERPOOL star Loris Karius has released an extraordinary statement on Twitter after being papped kissing a mystery woman on a boat.
The goalkeeper confirmed the smooch and admitted his relationship with Sophia Thomalla was ‘falling apart’.
The 27-year-old wrote on Twitter: “Yesterday, Sophia and I were leaked photos from my vacation that show me with another woman.
“It is unfortunately true that we have drifted apart for a long time.
“I am sorry that it is now falling apart and I would like to apologise for that.”
It’s not clear if Karius and Thomalla had separated before the kiss or since.
The German’s remarkable confession has left his followers shocked, with one tweeting: “You crazy guy Loris.”
While another wrote: “I guess nothing was ever ‘in safe hands’ with you was it Loris.”
But others offered their support, with one tweeting: “Sad that the media got to you first, stay strong mate good luck.”

Karius hasn’t played for Liverpool since making two massive mistakes in their Champions League final defeat to Real Madrid in May 2018.
He spent two years on loan at Besiktas, making 67 appearances in all competitions for the Turkish giants.
And the ex-Mainz star was at Union Berlin last term, featuring just four times in Bundesliga as their second choice goalkeeper.
