Jochen Schropp Confirms Marriage Pause, Says Periods of Silence 'Tore Me Apart'

He cites long-distance strain from his husband's move to the USA as a key factor.

Overview

  • In a new RTL interview, the 46-year-old TV host details phases with no contact and describes the emotional toll of uncertain boundaries during the separation.
  • He has taken off his wedding ring to cope with the situation but says he still considers himself married.
  • The couple decided around six months ago to pause the marriage after Norman said he needed a break, according to Schropp.
  • They are living on different continents with no defined rules for the pause, and Schropp calls this his most challenging year.
  • Schropp first mentioned the relationship break on his Sendepause Fehlanzeige podcast in September and has kept working, including hosting Promi Big Brother.
