Christian Lindner Calls Daughter 'Very Brave' While Navigating New Parenthood

Their shared approach combines Lindner's flexible freelance schedule with Lehfeldt's swift comeback to journalism.

Overview

  • At a Berlin airport meeting on June 3, Lindner said their two-month-old daughter is “very brave” and helps them manage nighttime feedings.
  • Lindner and Franca Lehfeldt have split childcare duties so he can undertake business trips while she cares for their baby.
  • Lehfeldt resumed her career as a journalist and entrepreneur just weeks after the child’s April birth, foregoing an extended maternity leave.
  • After leaving political office following the FDP’s February defeat, Lindner now works as a freelance speaker and author, giving him a more flexible schedule.
  • He says he does not miss his former role as finance minister, adding that he only misses the personal rapport with BKA officers.
