Michael Olise Accused by Alleged Baby Mama of Abandoning Their Child

Michael Olise, a star footballer for France and Bayern Munich, is facing allegations from a German woman who claims he has failed to support or contact their young daughter despite acknowledging paternity. Fatima Zaunbrecher, 34, alleges that Olise has never contacted their two-and-a-half-year-old daughter, Aaliyah Noor Olise, and has not voluntarily contributed financially to her upbringing.

Zaunbrecher says she and Olise were in a relationship from 2022 for around two years. She discovered she was pregnant shortly after their separation, with a subsequent DNA test confirming Olise as the father of their daughter. In a series of videos shared on her Instagram account, @fati.zahara, Zaunbrecher claims that Olise has formally acknowledged paternity but has never contacted Aaliyah or made any financial contributions to her upbringing.

Zaunbrecher also addressed an earlier proposal for €2,000 in child support. She says her former lawyer contacted Olise's legal representatives and requested the amount as an initial payment while the matter awaited a full court determination. However, it appears that the payment was never made, and Zaunbrecher has since taken on two jobs while raising Aaliyah alone.

Meanwhile, Olise is currently on holiday after helping France finish fourth at the 2026 World Cup, where he recorded a tournament-best seven assists. Recent social media footage has also circulated showing the footballer during his holiday in Turks and Caicos. Earlier, YEN.com.gh reported that Michael Olise was unable to join France's celebrations after scoring against Morocco at the 2026 World Cup. According to Godwin Nii Armah Tagoe, a sports editor, a little-known FIFA rule meant Morocco could have restarted the game immediately if France's players had left their positions to celebrate.

Zaunbrecher's concerns are about securing support for their child rather than interfering with Olise's lifestyle. She wants to ensure that Aaliyah receives the financial support she needs to thrive. In a statement, Zaunbrecher said, "She says she discovered she was pregnant shortly after their separation, with a subsequent DNA test confirming Olise as the father of her daughter, Aaliyah Noor Olise, who is now two and a half." She added, "She says her former lawyer contacted Olise's legal representatives and requested the amount as an initial payment while the matter awaited a full court determination." Zaunbrecher also stated, "She says she has since taken on two jobs while raising Aaliyah alone."

It remains to be seen how this case will unfold. Will Olise take responsibility for his daughter's financial well-being, or will Zaunbrecher be forced to continue to raise Aaliyah alone? Only time will tell.
