Caroline Beil’s marriage failed: presenter reveals reason for separation

About a month ago, the popular presenter and actress Caroline Beil (57) confirmed the end of her marriage. Beil met her husband, the dentist Philipp Sattler, who is 16 years younger than her, in 2014 at a charity golf tournament in Brandenburg. The couple – they tied the knot in a Scottish castle in 2018 – often appeared together on the country’s red carpets. Beil now revealed in the TV magazine “GALA” what ultimately led to the failure of their relationship and marriage.

Caroline Beil: “It was quite stressful for everyone”

Beil, who lives in Berlin with her two children, and Sattler, who works in the Ruhr area, had a long-distance relationship for over nine years. When asked by “GALA” presenter Annika Lau (45) whether this was what ultimately broke the relationship, the presenter replied: “I think so, because the wish was always there for Philipp to open the practice in Berlin at some point and that is not so easy.”

Her husband had to “commute back and forth all the time”. And at some point, says Beil, “a relationship like that really wears out because of this fact”. The physical separation was “very stressful for everyone”, not least because it meant that the 57-year-old became a single mother of two children. “And many people probably know that – then you start arguing, it wears off,” Beil continues in her honest interview. At the end of this long process, “the separation” took place.

Beil has a son from her relationship with actor Pete Dwojak (42). David Maria was born in 2009. In 2017, a year before her wedding to Sattler, their daughter Ava was born. The presenter caused quite a stir and a huge media response with her late pregnancy. She was 50 years old at the time of the birth.
