Christian and Bettina Wulff Confirm Permanent Separation

Tue 22nd Apr, 2025

Christian Wulff, the former President of Germany, and his wife Bettina Wulff have officially confirmed their separation. According to a statement from Wulff's office, the couple has been permanently separated for some time. This announcement comes amidst reports that Bettina Wulff was recently spotted with another man on the island of Sylt.

In a communication sent to the press, the Berlin office of the former head of state revealed that the couple had ended their relationship "some time ago." However, no further details were provided regarding the circumstances of their separation.

The couple's relationship has been marked by ups and downs since their marriage in 2008 when Christian Wulff was serving as the Minister-President of Lower Saxony. They have previously gone through periods of separation, with their first split occurring in 2013, following a scandal that led to Wulff's resignation from the presidency in 2012.

After their initial separation, the Wulffs reconciled and remarried in March 2023 in a private ceremony attended by family and friends. Despite this effort to rebuild their relationship, it appears that the challenges they faced ultimately led them to part ways again.

In the years following their first marriage, the media closely followed their personal lives, especially during the tumultuous times surrounding Wulff's political career. The couple shares a son, and their relationship has often been the subject of public interest.

The news of their separation comes as no surprise to many who have observed the couple's history of reconciliations and breakups. Bettina Wulff has not publicly commented on her recent sighting with another man, and inquiries to her have gone unanswered.

In light of their separation, it remains to be seen how this will impact their personal lives moving forward. Wulff's career and public presence may continue to be scrutinized as they navigate this new chapter apart.
