Eric Stehfest Announces Split From Wife Edith After Nearly 10 Years

Eric frames the decision as a response to mental-health strain, emphasizing a cooperative focus on their two children.

Overview

  • Stehfest confirmed the separation on Instagram, calling it a difficult family moment and asking for respect while stressing they will remain a team for their kids.
  • He told Bild their feelings had changed and described the relationship as having become more like close friendship than a traditional partnership.
  • The actor has publicly discussed a diagnosis of paranoid schizophrenia and an October 2024 clinic stay, which he says made a healthy relationship difficult.
  • Edith has not issued a formal statement; she has been shown in social posts in Thailand with fitness influencer Julian Zietlow, with the nature of their connection unspecified.
  • Bild reports the children are currently with Eric, as the pair work out arrangements following years of intermittent strain and prior periods of living apart.
