Olaf Scholz raved about his wife Britta Ernst in the “Brigitte live” series of talks. She also encouraged him to exercise.
SPD chancellor candidate Olaf Scholz (63) owes a lot to his wife Britta Ernst (60). She is the woman who shaped him the most: “I believe that I would be a completely different person if I weren’t married to Britta Ernst.” He was “clearly” a better person because of her.
Scholz has been married to the Brandenburg Education Minister since 1998. His wife is a “great politician,” which is why the finance minister was outraged when asked whether she would continue to work if he became chancellor.
Scholz is a late riser
In addition, Olaf Scholz revealed that his wife had encouraged him to exercise. When he was around 40 years old, she told him he had to do something and he was “very grateful” to her for it. Sport is good for him and it’s fun. For him, an ideal start to the day includes jogging or rowing in the morning and then starting work. When jogging, he doesn’t listen to music and doesn’t use any measuring devices or fitness apps, he explained.
When it comes to sport, he “doesn’t think much about anything”, Scholz continues. He is anyway “a relaxed person who rests in himself” and does not have to use the running to come to rest. In addition, the chancellor candidate said in the “Brigitte live” conversation that he was a late riser, but that it had not been added for a long time. On vacation and at the weekend it “works out”. His wife, on the other hand, likes to get up early. As a pensioner, he probably comes to breakfast “when she has lunch,” he joked.
