Overview

• In a new BUNTE interview, Hans Sigl and his wife Susanne credit sustained attention, deep empathy, and a balance between closeness and independence for their relationship.
• Sigl says they "like to argue" and describes open, respectful disputes as vital "marriage hygiene," adding their relationship has never been in danger, according to Focus.
• The couple maintained a weekly "couple day" even during busy parenting years and found that occasional distance could be healthy when work kept them apart.
• They met while boarding a flight to Mexico and later married in 2008, the same year Sigl began starring as Dr. Martin Gruber on ZDF's Der Bergdoktor.
• They live in a blended family with four children, and Susanne, previously married to musician Hubert Kah, also works as Sigl's manager.
