In 2019, the separation of Thomas Gottschalk and his Thea became known. Today he speaks of a “life decision” that he does not regret.
In an interview with the magazine “Bunte”, the TV legend Thomas Gottschalk (72) once again commented on the love affair with his wife Thea (76). The separation does not seem to have been a spontaneous decision: After all, he always believes in long-term relationships, according to the “Wetten, dass..?” moderator. In the meantime, he has at least been forgiven for his late change: “After 40 years of marriage, I didn’t elope with my wife with a 28-year-old ballet dancer.”
He didn’t jump lightly over “any stick”. “It was a life decision that I don’t regret a day,” Gottschalk explains his decision at the time. However, he does not reveal more soul life. He even hates talking about his private happiness: “Which will then be rated tomorrow on breakfast television by some celebrity expert who can figure something out.”
The separation from his Thea became known in 2019 and was immediately confirmed by Gottschalk. The two met in 1972 and married in 1976. They had lived together with their children in a house in Malibu, California, since the early 1990s. Today Gottschalk is in a relationship with the 59-year-old SWR employee Karina Mroß.
No praise for its modern counterparts
Incidentally, Gottschalk has no praise for his young colleagues in the comedy and moderator scene in the latest “Bunte” interview: “This fun, which has driven Mike Krüger and me for half a century, is being lost more and more.” Gottschalk goes on to say that a weight of thought sets in that is foreign to him and his colleague Krüger. Both entertainers are celebrating the 40th anniversary of their 80s cult film “Die Supernasen” this year.
“Today, comedy is scripted and clocked through,” says Gottschalk, “without the courage to be rude and without room for spontaneity.” In addition, people would scold the moderator or moderator who doesn’t come out with a straight sentence: “I usually can’t do that either, but at least it’s funny for me.” There just aren’t any more clowns like him and Krueger these days.
