- She describes him as "a really great dad".
Dana Schweiger (56) spoke to "Gala" magazine (also on RTL+) about her family. The American and German film star Til Schweiger (60) exchanged vows in 1995, and they separated in 2005, officially divorcing in 2014. Together, they have four children: Valentin (28), Luna (27), Lilli (26), and Emma (21). After the negative headlines surrounding her ex-husband in recent months, Dana Schweiger emphasizes family unity in the interview.
"He's the father of my children, and he's a fantastic father," she explains. "As you get older, I'm 55 now, you become more mature and less self-centered. As parents, we bring children into this world, so it's important that we step back and put them in the spotlight. That's my family, and that's how it will always be. We're a colorful, normal family with ups and downs. It can be hilarious, but it can also get heated. I think that's healthy," says Dana Schweiger.
After focusing on her children in recent years, the entrepreneur and author is now ready to shift her focus back to herself and rediscover her passions. These include "fashion, interior design, and a slight affinity for classic cars," as she revealed in the interview.
Dana Schweiger: What's her relationship status?
And what about her love life? "I'm completely out of touch with this dating world. I had a couple of dates after the divorce, but it felt so unnatural," she admits. She prefers to focus on her "girl gang" and have fun with her friends. However, Schweiger does mention that there's someone special in her life that she's spending a lot of time with. "Status: It's complicated. I don't want to define it," she says.
One memorable encounter from her past is a flirtation with none other than Brad Pitt (60), whom she met at a gas station. "I was young and pretty," she recalls, unaware of his fame at the time. "I had no idea who he was. I was always in Germany and missed the Brad Pitt craze. There were no cell phones back then."
Dana Schweiger expresses her admiration for her ex-husband Til Schweiger as a fantastic father, emphasizing their shared role as parents and the importance of putting their children at the center. Despite not being actively involved in the dating scene since her divorce, Dana mentions having someone special in her life whose status she chooses not to define.
