Eric and Edith Stehfest Confirm Split After Thailand Reality-Show Shoot

Eric cites paranoid schizophrenia with recent depressive episodes as the decisive strain on the marriage.

Overview

  • The pair announced their separation on September 26 and stressed they will co-parent their two children while asking for privacy.
  • In a new interview, Eric described how his condition distorted relationships and said the couple could not stabilize each other, so they chose to separate to focus on healing.
  • He referenced an October 2024 clinic stay and said he is currently stable, linking reduced symptoms to continued abstinence from drugs.
  • Both recently finished filming Sat.1’s Promis unter Palmen in Thailand, with the season slated to air in spring 2026, and Eric said he spoke openly on camera about his mental health.
  • After the announcement, Edith spent time in Thailand and appeared in a social media clip with fitness influencer Julian Zietlow, drawing attention without any public dispute or divorce filing.
