Overview

  • On June 6 in the NDR Talk Show, Höppner disclosed that she suffers from a ‘totale Zahlenschwäche’ that has affected her confidence with even simple calculations.
  • She shared that two years ago she was convinced she was about to turn 48, prompting her partner to buy birthday balloons for that age.
  • A discussion with her parents revealed the truth that she had actually been celebrating her 46th birthday, not her 48th.
  • Höppner said she was overjoyed to learn she was younger than she thought and relieved that the mix-up turned into a lighthearted family moment.
