Moderator Chris Wackert has been married to his colleague Steffi Brungs since 2019. The Wiesbaden native does not think that questions about possible offspring are okay – for a specific reason.
When will you have a child? – Couples who have been together for a long time get this question regularly. This is the experience of "Breakfast TV" star Chris Wackert, 32, who is married to "Guten Morgen Deutschland" celebrity expert Steffi Brungs, 32. For this reason, he published a video on social media in which he openly shared his opinion on the subject.
Chris Wackert: "Don't do it. You don't know what's behind the answer"
The trigger for Wackert's statement was a question and answer session on Instagram that he recently hosted on the platform. On this occasion, many users asked when he and his wife were planning to have children, he said in a clip on his account. The 32-year-old sent a very clear message to these people: "Dear people out there who like to ask this question often and with pleasure, either to friends or to public figures: Don't do it. You don't know what the answer might be . "
For example, one could not know whether the man or the woman might not be able to have children, he explained. He also threw into the room the possibility that couples would have made a conscious decision not to have children.
The baby question can be awkward for couples
"There can be things behind it that burden the couple, if they have to deal with it again and again, if the question is asked over and over again," he said. Even if women had gained weight, there was no reason to ask them about a possible pregnancy, the breakfast moderator added.
In the end, he repeated his request to his community: "People, leave it. Be sensitive to it. Have respect for people, have respect for couples. It's not about being interested in others as a person."
