Peter Maffay and wife Hendrikje appear at Goldene Henne

German rock legend Peter Maffay made a rare public appearance with his wife, Hendrikje Balsmeyer, at the Goldene Henne awards in Leipzig. The couple, who married in 2022 and have a daughter named Anouk, typically maintain a private relationship and seldom attend events together.

During the gala, Maffay performed alongside singer Johannes Oerding to celebrate the TV premiere of their new duet, ‘Dir gehört die Welt’. Oerding jokingly commented on social media about feeling like ‘the fifth wheel’ while standing beside the couple on the red carpet.
