Sport1 Host Ruth Hofmann Announces Pregnancy During 'Doppelpass'

The 38-year-old revealed her pregnancy live on air, sharing plans to continue hosting through the current season.

Ruth Hofmann, co-host of the popular football talk show 'Doppelpass,' announced her pregnancy during the live broadcast on March 9, 2025.
Hofmann, 38, described her unborn child as a 'special guest' and received applause from the studio audience and guests.
Show host Florian König humorously predicted the baby would inherit a love for football, given its early exposure to 'Doppelpass.'

Hofmann has been with Sport1 since 2016 and is a prominent figure in German sports broadcasting.
