CATHY HUMMELS has faced a backlash after posing topless with a children’s cookbook.
The model and influencer, 36, was married to Borussia Dortmund star Mats Hummels between 2015 and 2022.

Four years ago Cathy wrote a cookbook for kids, but has since drawn negative publicity with a bizarre post.
Posting to her 689,000 Instagram followers, she posed topless with only the book covering her modesty.
Cathy captioned it: “She is sweet like sugar but without calories.”
She was criticised in the comments, with fans calling the post “inappropriate”.
The high-profile star later deleted the post before replacing it with a picture of her clutching the book fully clothed .
She wrote: “I would like to draw attention to this. I have been eating a sugar-free diet for years and I also ensure that my son has a healthy diet. Many parents and children are not aware of this.
“And now be honest: would the highly discussed and controversial photo have captured you in the same way if I had just been sitting on the sofa in my jogging suit? I think not.
“Here for you is the proper version as I would have liked to have posted it at the beginning. But as I said: I wouldn’t have attracted any attention and this topic has been bothering me for many, many years.
“I don’t eat any white sugar myself. With Ludwig I succeed 80% of the time. He decides the other 20%.
“Nutrition awareness should be promoted in childhood. You are what you eat.”
Cathy announced her divorce from Hummels, 35, in November 2022.
Speaking to radio station Energy Munich nearly a year on from their split, she admitted: “I love to snog when I’m drunk.
“The sex is irrelevant, I don’t care. I also kiss women in such situations. Then I just want to snog.”
