Hans Mahr and Katja Burkard: Colleagues and celebrities congratulate on the wedding

Katja Burkard (60) and Hans Mahr (76) finally married on the weekend after almost 30 years together. The moderator shared her happiness.

“We Said Yes and are very happy,” wrote the “Point 12” presenter on Sunday evening about a picture she shows in the wedding outfit with her husband. While Burkard chose a white ensemble with a free back for the big day, her husband appeared in a dark suit with a white shirt and white tie. In the picture, the two hug each other and look deep into their eyes.

It rained numerous congratulations – especially from the prominent circle of colleagues of the RTL presenter. Frauke Ludowig said: “It was time … I’m happy for you.” Steffi Brung wrote: “Finally! That yes sooooo shot! All the best for you.” Elena Bruhn enthused: “Oh, that’s romantic.” Brigitte Schrowange sent: “Sooo beautiful, most congratulations and only the best for you.” Annika Lau sent a “how wonderful, dear Katja” and Marlene Lufen found the news “magical”. And RTL-NADENSISTRE Michael BEART wrote: “I don’t believe it !!! that I can still experience it after all the years!” Steffen Hallaschka Ironically commented: “I’m not a friend of rushed lightning weddings. But of course everything, all the best for you, dear Katja.”

Celebrities like Evelyn Burdecki, Jana Ina Zarrella and Ross Antony also sent digital congratulations. Others such as Riccardo Simonetti, Marco Schreyl or Jens Hilbert left red hearts in the comment column.

Katja Burkard had previously confirmed the wedding to the “Bild” newspaper. Accordingly, the couple married on Saturday, August 30th in front of the Himmelreichkapelle am Pogusch in Austria. Only the joint daughters and the two sons of the media manager were on site. According to Burkard, the chapel is the “heart square” of the couple, in which the daughters were already baptized. Mahr made the application in the Maldives last April, he reported.

The couple has been together since 1998 – with an interim separation. In her autobiography “60 is the new 60: And why it doesn’t hurt at all” Burkard reported on the private crisis in early 2025: At the turn of the year 2021/2022, she separated from her longstanding partner. “I believe that our love under a mountain of false assumptions, partly justified accusations, false communication, poor culture of dispute and too little real time was buried for each other.” The knowledge helped the two to find each other again after a year.
