Annemarie and Wayne Carpendale confirm separation after 20 years
Annemarie and Wayne Carpendale have publicly confirmed their separation after nearly 20 years together and 13 years of marriage. The couple revealed via Instagram that they have not been a couple since the beginning of 2026.
Despite the split, the pair continues to live together in Munich with their eight-year-old son, Mads. They described themselves as a “good team” and a family that still wears their wedding rings. They emphasized that the separation is being handled without drama and that they remain professionally connected.
Shortly after the announcement, the duo appeared together on stage in Vienna to moderate the “Kids Future Unlocked” charity gala, which supports St. Anna pediatric cancer research. During the event, Wayne briefly hesitated when referring to Annemarie, jokingly noting that she is still officially his “wife.”
