German celebrities share updates on personal lives and families

Several German television and public figures have shared updates regarding their personal lives and family structures.

Isabell Horn, known for her role in the soap opera ‘Gute Zeiten, schlechte Zeiten’, has spoken about her open relationship with partner Jens Ackermann. Horn noted that the model is based on trust and allows for physical experiences outside their partnership, though she remarked that it is not as exciting in daily life as it might sound.

Anne Menden, also a long-time ‘GZSZ’ actress, has returned to filming after a seven-month maternity leave. She and her fiancé, Gustav Masurek, are managing their new life in Potsdam with their son, ‘Littlefoot’. Masurek serves as a full-time father while Menden returns to her professional commitments.

Lara Cosima Henckel von Donnersmarck, daughter of Oscar-winning director Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck, announced the birth of her son with partner François Pinault Jr. The news follows her engagement in early 2026.

Other celebrity updates include Luna Schweiger, who went public with her relationship with professional rider Lucas Wenz, and Micaela Schäfer, who revealed her new relationship with a 54-year-old lawyer named Dirk.
