But the marriage didn’t last – Mareile and Arne eventually went their separate ways. Mareile only made this step public two years after their separation. Although Mareile is now in a new partnership, the divorce has not yet been finalized. She spoke openly to “Bunte” about the guilt she felt towards her son after the separation. At the same time, however, she emphasized that even the best relationships can come to an end – a sad realization that is also confirmed by the statistics.

Nazan Eckes and Julian Khol – separation without a clear reason
Since the late 1990s, charismatic presenter Nazan Eckes has been one of the defining faces of German television. From 2008 to 2022, she confidently hosted “Extra – Das RTL-Magazin”. She seemed to have found the love of her life in painter Julian Khol, and in 2012 the two tied the knot in the romantic setting of Florence. But in 2022, the first rumors about a possible separation of the couple, who have two sons together, emerged. One conspicuous clue was Nazan’s appearance at the Oktoberfest, where she wore the bow of her dirndl on the “single side” – a detail that neither her fans nor the press missed. A short time later, her management officially confirmed the separation.
