On October 4th, Nazan Eckes published a happy photo of her family of four. But marital bliss is said to have long since failed at this point. When asked, the sister now confirms that the marriage of the popular RTL presenter has failed after ten years.
RTL presenter Nazan Eckes and her husband, Julian Khol, have split up. The sister of the popular TV face has confirmed the marriage, reports the “Bild” newspaper. “Yes, it’s right, Nazan and Julian are no longer a couple,” quotes the newspaper Belgin Üngör, who is also the manager of the moderation. “As parents, they share the upbringing of their sons.”
Eckes and the Austrian artist and painter Khol got married in June 2012. Together they have two sons who were born in 2014 and 2016. On October 4th, the presenter published a snapshot of the family of four on Instagram on her older son’s birthday. “Our ‘big’ baby turned 8 today,” the 46-year-old wrote. “We love you to the moon and back”, which means something like: “We love you more than anything.”
According to the “Bild” newspaper, the couple had been living separately for two and a half years at this point. During her visit to the Oktoberfest at the end of September, the signs are said to have increased: Accordingly, Eckes wore her dirndl bow on the left, which means she was single.
For the popular presenter, the separation is the second major change this year: In April, Eckes announced that it was ending its exclusive collaboration with RTL after 23 years and giving up its “Extra” program. The 46-year-old is by no means disappearing from the Cologne scene: “However, there are ideas for implementing joint projects with RTL on a completely new basis beyond the end of 2022,” said Eckes. According to RTL, a large theme evening with Eckes and a series of interviews are planned.
