The world is full of surprises, especially in show business. Yesterday, on March 18th, the German media channels broke the news that Thomas Gottschalk and his wife Thea Gottschalk had ended their marriage. Both separated after 42 years of marriage. Now the famous couple has drawn a line and both want to go their separate ways in the future. Her lawyer Christian Schertz confirmed this when asked for a picture. It is unclear what exactly led to this surprising marriage from Thomas Gottschalk. However, it is known the couple informed their sons of both spouses' decision weeks before the split. "Mr. Gottschalk asks that his family's privacy be respected and that no further inquiries be made," said the lawyer yesterday.

- Surprising breakup after 42 years together
The surprising news about the Gottschalks' marriage prompts us to take a look at their family life to date. Thomas Gottschalk met Thea in 1972 at a medical ball in Munich and they got married in 1976. Their son Roman was born six years later.
1989 the couple adopted their son Tristan. Thomas Gottschalk has now become a grandfather twice. Wanting to shield their personal lives and that of their sons from the media and the hustle and bustle around them, the couple bought a property in Malibu in the '90s. The family has lived alternately in California and Germany since the mid-1990s. Unfortunately, the expensive property in the US was destroyed by fire blight last year. The couple found it difficult to cope. Thomas Gottschalk and Thea still have an apartment in Berlin and an apartment in New York. But where they both live after the separation has not yet been decided.
Just a few weeks before the love separation, Thomas Gottschalk said Thea was the best woman for him.
