Ralf Schumachers Coming-out
Even during his marriage to Cora Schumacher, there was a lot of speculation and rumors about Ralf Schumacher and his private life. In 2024, Ralf then publicly came out about his sexuality. He is now happily together with a man named Étienne. Ex-wife Cora Schumacher, like her fans, found out about it via social media and, after a few weeks of silence, commented: “I think in every marriage there are doubts or you are unsure. I just said to myself: everything is great, you have a nice life, a good status. You have a roof over your head, you have a man by your side, you have a child. I think I just closed my eyes.”
The former erotic model then even considered dropping the surname “Schumacher”. But after careful consideration, Cora decided against it. The name had “cost her enough grief and suffering” and was a “brand that I built independently, on my own”.
