Steffi Brungs and Chris Wackert Confirm Separation After 12 Years Together

The split raises immediate questions about whether the pair will continue as hosts on Netflix’s Love Is Blind: Germany.

Overview

  • Chris Wackert’s management confirmed the couple’s separation to the news agency spot on news on Tuesday, July 7, and both declined further personal comment.
  • Multiple outlets report the pair have lived separately for about six weeks and that Wackert has moved out of the shared Cologne home.
  • Their joint podcast TraumBar has been on pause since mid‑May, a gap fans noted before the separation was made public.
  • Netflix has not answered media inquiries about the moderators’ future on Love Is Blind: Germany and industry reporting says production sources expect the show’s third season to use a different hosting approach, though that has not been confirmed by Netflix.
  • The split closes a 12‑year relationship that included a 2019 wedding and public struggles with illness and mental‑health strain, and it could reshape both hosts’ on‑ and off‑screen work as a new season of the Netflix format is already planned.
