In September 2023, Karl-Theodor and Stephanie zu Guttenberg made their marriage official. Now the former defense minister has been spotted with a new woman at his side.
Former politician Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg appeared in public with a woman for the first time since his official marriage ended in September last year. He and Katherina Reiche attended the CHIO horse show in Aachen on July 7. According to the “Bild” newspaper, the two have been a couple for several months.
The former Minister of Defense and the former Parliamentary State Secretary in the Ministry of the Environment watched the spectacle from the stands and were engrossed in conversation. The 52-year-old wore a casual dark jacket, she came in a striking orange jacket, both had sunglasses on their faces.
It is their first public appearance together, but according to information from the “Bild” newspaper, they already celebrated last year’s New Year’s together in Kitzbühel. Friends told the paper that Katherina Reiche is good for Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg. He seems much more relaxed and happy since she has been at his side. However, neither zu Guttenberg nor Reiche have confirmed the relationship themselves.
In September 2023, Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg and his ex-partner Stephanie made it public that their marriage had failed after around 23 years together. “The couple separated on the best of terms last winter. They will continue to remain close friends,” their lawyer Christian Schertz confirmed to the German Press Agency at the time. The ex-couple have two children together, a daughter born in 2001 and a daughter born in 2002.
