2023: Celebrity Breakups and New Love Affairs – Who Split and Who Found Love

One love ends, the other begins. And as is often the case when celebrities fall in love or a relationship breaks up, the fans are also excited. Hardly anything moves people’s minds as much as love topics. Two world stars from the USA in particular surprised – and delighted – this year with new partners. In Germany, however, things looked rather bad for one professional group in particular: a whole number of politicians were unlucky in love in 2023.

The breakups

Oliver and Amira Pocher

Oliver Pocher and his wife Amira made a separation that was virtually in everyone’s ears. The two first said in their joint podcast in June that there were difficulties in their marriage – then at the end of August they confirmed their separation on the same channel. At that time, Amira said: “We will – hopefully we can manage it – continue to be a team and will continue to be there for you as a podcast couple. Not private anymore. Except, of course, we are parents of wonderful children.” But things turned out differently. Pocher is now doing a podcast with his ex-wife Sandy Meyer-Wölden. He apparently doesn’t have much to say to Amira, with whom he has two sons.

Heiko Maas and Natalia Wörner

For a long time they were the most glamorous couple in political Berlin: former Foreign Minister Heiko Mass (SPD) and actress Natalia Wörner. But since he left office, he has hardly been seen anymore – and the two of them together even more rarely. At the end of August they announced their separation in a joint statement via their lawyer. “We decided a long time ago to go our separate ways in the future,” Maas and Wörner told the German Press Agency. “We will remain on friendly terms and wish each other the best for the future.” They appeared together in public for the first time in 2016.

Karl-Theodor and Stephanie zu Guttenberg

They were once among the most dazzling couples in German politics, and were even celebrated by some as the German Kennedys – before the CSU politician stumbled upon the plagiarism affair in his doctoral thesis and his career was broken. Just a few weeks after Maas and Wörner, former Defense Minister Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg and his wife Stephanie announced their separation. But they will remain closely connected to each other in a great friendship, both said. Another new start followed for the 51-year-old this year: he brought his first book entitled “3 Seconds – Notes from the Present” onto the market. In an interview with the German Press Agency, he remembered the moment of resignation and the time afterwards as a moment of trance.

Cem Ozdemir and Pia Castro

After around 20 years of marriage, Federal Agriculture Minister Cem Özdemir and his wife, journalist Pia Castro, are also going their separate ways. “We agreed some time ago in friendship to live separately,” said a joint statement when asked by the German Press Agency. The 57-year-old Green Party politician and the 51-year-old journalist and presenter have a daughter and a son together. “As parents, we continue to care for our two children together,” the statement continued. There has been speculation for some time as to whether Özdemir could soon return to his home town of Baden-Württemberg. He is considered a promising candidate to succeed Prime Minister Winfried Kretschmann.

Julia Klöckner and Ralph Grieser

For Özdemir’s predecessor in the Federal Ministry of Economics, 2023 did not bring happiness in love either. Julia Klöckner and her husband announced through their lawyer in August that they had “decided amicably and together” not to continue the marriage. “You and the families will continue to be connected,” it said. The CDU politician, who was Minister of Agriculture from 2018 to 2021, and her husband, classic car dealer Ralph Grieser, married in 2019.

Justin Trudeau and Sophie Grégoire Trudeau

There was also a separation on the international political stage – which was very surprising to many: after around 18 years of marriage and three children together, Canada’s Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his wife Sophie Grégoire Trudeau announced that they were no longer a couple. “After important and difficult conversations, we have decided to separate,” the two announced via Instagram at the beginning of August. The two had met as children; Sophie was a classmate of Justin Trudeau’s younger brother Michel. As adults, they met again in 2003 and fell in love. The wedding followed in 2005, followed by three children together – Xavier, born in 2007, Ella-Grace, born in 2009, and Hadrien, born in 2014. Regarding the separation, it continued: “As always, we remain a family with deep love and respect for each other and for everything we have built and will continue to build together.”

The happiness of love

Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet

They are the ultimate superstar couple: reality TV star and entrepreneur Kylie Jenner and actor Timothée Chalamet. Jenner is still relatively recently separated from rapper Travis Scott, with whom she has two small children. After several months of speculation, Jenner and Chalamet appeared together for the first time at the US Open – lovingly kissing. Chalamet, who is considered one of Hollywood’s biggest newcomers of recent years, was previously in a relationship with Lily-Rose Depp. For many fans, the love for Jenner came as a surprise, but after the courting appearance at the tennis tournament with kisses and deep looks, no questions remained unanswered.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce

Music all-rounder Taylor Swift and US football star Travis Kelce were also deeply in love. It wasn’t until November that he even publicly and officially raved about his new girlfriend. The singer is “hilarious” and “a genius,” Kelce, who plays for the Kansas City Chiefs, told The Wall Street Journal magazine. He had never dated someone who had “an aura like that” before. To get to know Swift, he used mutual acquaintances as “matchmakers,” Kelce said. Then they met in New York. “We had already spoken by then, so I knew we would have a nice dinner and a conversation and whatever comes after, comes after.”

Anna Maria bother and Lucas Gregorowicz

“This is us” – plus a black heart and a photo of rays: With this post on Instagram, actress Anna Maria bother (“Our Wonderful Years”) delighted her fans at the very end of the year. In the picture, bother and her actor colleague Lucas Gregorowicz (“Polizeiruf 110”) are laughing happily at each other. Numerous celebrity colleagues were also happy with the two of them. Just a few hours after the photo was published, Moritz Bleibtreu, Kai Pflaume, Louis Klamroth and Birthe Wolter – a close friend of bother – left hearts and congratulations.
