Michael Olise Faces Paternity Allegations from German Woman
Michael Olise faces paternity storm as German woman alleges lack of support for daughter
France and Bayern Munich winger Michael Olise is at the centre of serious off-field allegations, with a German woman claiming he has failed to support or contact their two-and-a-half-year-old daughter despite, she says, a DNA test confirming he is the father.
‘He has never met her’
The woman, 34-year-old Fatima Zaunbrecher, has gone public on Instagram, posting a series of videos on her account, @fati.zahara, in which she details her claims against the 22-year-old star.
Zaunbrecher says she and Olise were in a relationship from 2022, lasting around two years. According to her, the relationship ended shortly before she discovered she was pregnant. A subsequent DNA test, she alleges, confirmed Olise as the father of her daughter, named Aaliyah Noor Olise.
She insists Olise has formally acknowledged paternity, but says that acknowledgement has not translated into any personal involvement in the child’s life.
She claims the Bayern Munich forward has never met Aaliyah, has not called her, and has not voluntarily contributed financially to her upbringing.
Dispute over child-support proposal
In her videos, Zaunbrecher also describes an early attempt to secure financial support through legal channels.
She says her former lawyer contacted Olise’s legal representatives with a proposal for an initial child-support payment of €2,000 while the case awaited a full court decision. The amount, she explains, was put forward as a starting figure, not a final settlement.
According to Zaunbrecher, the offer went unanswered.
“I pretty much said you can do it through my former lawyer, who wrote to his lawyer that he can start paying, and I also sent it to my bank account, and he didn't send anything,” she said in one of the videos, accusing Olise and his legal team of ignoring the request.
“I gave him a chance, but my child's father is savage; he didn't take it, and he completely ignored it. His lawyers are very terrible persons.”
With no money coming in from the player, Zaunbrecher says she has been forced to juggle two jobs while raising Aaliyah on her own.
‘I’m raising our child alone’
Her criticism of Olise is blunt and personal. In the clips, she contrasts her situation with what she describes as the player’s glamorous lifestyle.
“I'm raising our child alone while her father is partying and inviting women and doing the most and is not paying any dime for his own daughter,” she said.
“Since that day, he hasn't paid anything, and he didn't call his daughter. But he said in the statement that he wanted to contact his daughter and me. That doesn't make any sense.”
Zaunbrecher stresses that, from her perspective, the issue is not about controlling how Olise lives his life, but about ensuring their daughter receives consistent support.
Her allegations come as footage circulates on social media of Olise enjoying his holiday in Turks and Caicos, time off earned after a standout World Cup.
World Cup high, personal-life questions
On the pitch, Olise has just returned from the 2026 World Cup with France, where he helped Les Bleus to a fourth-place finish and emerged as one of the tournament’s leading creators, registering a competition-best seven assists.
His performances underlined why Bayern Munich moved for him and why he is seen as a central figure for both club and country in the coming years.
Off the pitch, the narrative is very different.
Zaunbrecher’s decision to go public has dragged a private dispute into the spotlight, raising uncomfortable questions for a player whose reputation has, until now, largely been shaped by his left foot rather than his private life.
For Olise, the next decisive move may not come in a stadium, but in a courtroom or a lawyer’s office.
