Overview
- In early June 2026 a new episode of VOX’s Goodbye Deutschland shows Sarah packing and moving out after 12 years together, saying she left to protect the children and to work on self‑discovery.
- Fifteen‑year‑old stepdaughter Stella told the show she wants to return to Germany to live with her grandmother because she did not settle on Gran Canaria and missed her friends.
- René publicly said he regrets emigrating, telling cameras that the move “started the downhill” in his relationship, business and finances.
- The split adds immediate cost pressure to the household, with reporting noting Sarah’s separate rent will increase monthly expenses by about €700 and René calling the separation a “financial disaster.”
- Both parents attribute long‑running communication problems to difficult childhoods, including parental alcoholism, and the family’s future—reconciliation or permanent separation—remains unresolved as the docusoap continues to follow them.
