Tanja Makarić Says She Is Raising Daughter Malou Alone

She says she will decide how and when to speak publicly to encourage others as she copes with renewed panic attacks.

Overview

Makarić disclosed in late May 2026 that her daughter Malou Jolié, born in December, is being raised by her alone and that she has kept details private until now.
She told followers the child’s father was not a one‑night stand and that they have known each other for about eleven years, but she has not publicly named him.
Makarić said she has developed panic attacks while processing the separation and is working through the emotional and practical strain of single parenthood.
She also said she currently receives no financial support from the child’s father and that she plans to choose the timing and format of a fuller public statement to help others.
Tabloid reports have singled out a footballer from Wuppertal as the possible father but that identification remains unconfirmed and is based on limited sourcing.
