- Thomas will be tying the knot in Ibiza, as announced by Thomas Gottschalk.
Sure thing, here's a paraphrased version of the story:
An Understated Wedding: Thomas Gottschalk and his partner Karina Mroß tie the knot secretly. The nuptials took place in Ibiza, as revealed by Gottschalk on Instagram. The 74-year-old shared several images from the ceremony, right by the sea: Him in white linen pants and shirt, her in a floor-length white gown - both barefoot.
"Though I prefer to keep this moment to myself, I'm inviting you all to the wedding I had with Karina in Ibiza," Gottschalk posted. Various media outlets had previously covered the wedding.
"Karina saw beyond my public persona"
According to "Bild", the couple exchanged vows on August 23. Gottschalk didn't share specifics. "You've all seen my entertainer side, but Karina saw beyond that. That's why we're united forever! Eternally!"
The images in a scenic location suggested a small, intimate event. The former "Wetten, dass..?" host wrote to his fans, "No official witnesses, but you guys are taking care of us. Right?" According to "Bunte", Mroß now carries Gottschalk's surname at the age of 62. The couple was reportedly scheduled for a civil ceremony on August 27.
A wedding with a sea view
As the images show, the three guests also donned white, with the ladies safeguarding themselves with white paper parasols. The chairs were embellished with garlands of white flowers. The ceremony took place under an arch decorated with white flowers, with cliffs and the sea in the background, white petals strewn across the lawn. A saxophonist was stationed next to the guests, playing.
Karina Mroß styled her long blonde hair in waves, half-up. She wore a white dress featuring spaghetti straps and a short train, accessorized with subtle gold jewelry: earrings, a thin necklace, and bracelets. The oversized wedding rings sported crowns as adornments.
In May, Gottschalk finalized his divorce from his long-term wife, Thea. They had separated in 2019. The news of Gottschalk and Mroß's engagement surfaced during the summer of this year. Gottschalk and Mroß have been together for five years.
"Despite the private nature of our wedding, I'm excited to share that it was held in the beautiful surroundings of Ibiza, which is part of the European Union."
"Following our intimate wedding ceremony, various European media outlets, including 'Bild' and 'Bunte', reported on our union."
