German television presenter Annemarie Carpendale and Wayne Carpendale have announced their separation after a period of marriage, revealing they ended their romantic relationship earlier this year but continue to live together and co-parent their son in Munich.
Announcing the Split After Thirteen Years of Marriage
Annemarie Carpendale (49) and Wayne Carpendale (49) confirmed they are no longer a couple in a joint statement published on their official Instagram channels. According to their announcement, the pair split at the beginning of this year. Rumors of a breakup had remained quiet because the two continue to maintain a close bond and share a household.
The television host and the actor—who is the son of well-known Schlager singer Howard Carpendale—married in 2013. They share a son and reside together in Munich. In their joint statement, the couple emphasized that this approach feels entirely correct for their family at this stage. They described themselves as still acting as a family, wearing their wedding rings, and functioning as a strong team “without drama and without us having to know today what tomorrow looks like.”
Public Response and Media Coverage
Prior to the couple’s social media announcement, German daily newspaper Bild broke the news regarding the separation of the prominent entertainment figures. Despite shifting the nature of their relationship from romantic partners to co-habitants and co-parents, the pair intend to maintain their shared household setup as they navigate the next chapter of their lives.
