Maria Höfl-Riesch Opens Up About New Relationship With Cruise Executive Johann Schrempf

The former ski champion emphasizes compatibility over age or height.

Overview

  • Riesch confirms a relationship with 65-year-old Johann Schrempf, a senior manager on cruise ships, following her January divorce from Markus Höfl.
  • They have been together for roughly six months after a long friendship that grew through cruise-ship connections and shared circles.
  • Both partners reject focus on their 25-year age gap and height difference, calling the partnership one on equal footing.
  • The toughest hurdle is his long stints at sea and time-zone gaps that restrict contact, including a ten-hour difference when he is in New Zealand.
  • Riesch calls the romance a fresh start and says it is too soon to plan a wedding, though she does not rule it out.
