Overview

• Charlotte Würdig announced her plan to revert to her maiden name, Engelhardt, or adopt a double surname during the May 20th episode of 'The Real Ex-Wives' podcast.
• The decision is enabled by Germany’s new naming law, effective May 2025, which allows true double surnames for families regardless of marital status.
• Würdig expressed frustration at being publicly identified primarily as Sido’s ex-wife, overshadowing her identity as a mother and entrepreneur with three businesses.
• Georgina Stumpf, Würdig’s podcast co-host and Sido’s other ex-partner, revealed details about her unplanned pregnancy and past struggles with addiction in earlier episodes.
• The podcast highlights the bond between the two women, who now share both personal and professional ties after living together post-separation from Sido.
