"Yes, they were apart for Christmas, and he seemed to have a lot of fun without her. She also stopped attending his games this season. Now, they are officially done," the source confirmed.

The festive season highlighted the growing distance between the couple, with Boniface leaving Jensen behind to travel solo to Nigeria to celebrate Christmas and his birthday.

A private romance ends publicly

Boniface and Jensen reportedly met in Norway around 2021 and despite their years together, the Bayer Leverkusen forward preferred to keep their relationship private, rarely sharing details of his relationship with the Norwegian with the public.

While Jensen was a consistent supporter of Boniface on and off the pitch, the relationship’s strain became undeniable.

The breakup marks the end of a chapter for Boniface, who now focuses on his football career while Jensen appears to step away from the limelight.

Boniface nears return from injury layoff

In a related development, Boniface is on the brink of making a long-awaited return after a two-month injury absence Bayer Leverkusen has confirmed.

The 24-year-old Nigerian international has been sidelined since November due to a thigh muscle injury, but manager Xabi Alonso stated recently that Boniface might return to play as soon as next week.

Before his injury, Boniface had been in sensational form, scoring eight goals in 15 games across all competitions.

His comeback will give Alonso’s Bayer Leverkusen a much-needed boost. They are currently second in the Bundesliga, only four points behind champions Bayern Munich.

However, Boniface’s rehabilitation has not been without setbacks. A small setback during his recuperation forced him to postpone his return, putting him out of Leverkusen's season opener against Borussia Dortmund.
