Bushido and Anna‑Maria Promise Open‑Ended Pay for Former Nanny Who Returned Home

The couple says the ongoing salary honors a pledge to treat her like family.

Overview

  • In their podcast, the Ferchichis said they will keep paying their former nanny Gretchen her full salary with no end date after she chose to go back to the Philippines.
  • They said Gretchen first declined the offer, then accepted after Bushido told her she is part of their family rather than an employee.
  • Gretchen is a 39‑year‑old from the Philippines who spent eight years working abroad, including four years with the family, which reflects how many domestic workers support relatives through overseas jobs.
  • The decision followed the family’s move from Dubai to Munich‑Grünwald and a wider cutback of household staff, after which Gretchen opted not to relocate to Germany.
  • Reports also note the couple’s public discussion of a possible summer base on the Côte d’Azur and ongoing renovation of their Munich villa, underscoring the visibility and resources that make such private support possible.
