Ex-marriage by Höfl-Riesch: New love and old rumors!

Maria Höfl-Riesch, the former German ski racer with an impressive record of three Olympic wins and two gold medals at World Championships, has made headlines in the past few months. In August 2024 she announced the end of her 15-year relationship and 13-year-old marriage to Marcus Höfl. This emotional separation was described as "painful" by her, and only two months later the divorce was officially carried out, such as tz.de reported.

Despite the separation, Höfl-Riesch has started a new relationship with Johann Schrempf, a manager on cruise ships. Marcus Höfl, on the other hand, was seen in Kitzbühel with his ex-partner Marion Popp, which raised rumors about a possible reunification. Popp, who had a connection to the former DFB President Wolfgang Niersbach and has a child with Marcus Höfl, was described by him as a "good friend". In an interview he rejected any rumors of love.

public congratulations and social media

On December 7, 2023, Marcus Höfl celebrated his 50th birthday, which he spent with Höfl-Riesch in New York. She congratulated him on Instagram, hiding a humorous swipe in her message. She wished him health, happiness and fun while she shared her experiences in the city with her followers, including photos of the Statue of Liberty and the Steinway Tower, such as merkur.de reported.

The use of social media plays an important role in relationships today. A current study illuminated how platforms such as Facebook, Instagram and TikTok can have both positive and negative effects on couple relationships. Almost half of the study participants stated that social media support their partnership, especially in long -distance relationships. However, 36 % also report an increase in jealousy caused by social media, as well as the pressure that idealized representations of other couples can trigger. It is therefore becoming increasingly important to consciously use social media in order to maximize the positive effects and minimize conflicts, as explained in the study by Philipp Armin Krämer.

The developments around Maria Höfl-Riesch and Marcus Höfl show how romantic relationships can change in the digital age, be it through new encounters or through the dynamics that bring social media into play. The two former partners navigate their new ways of life, where they are in public and are faced with the challenges of modern relationship life.
