Howard Carpendale and his wife Donnice have “not seen their son Cass for almost two years,” the couple have now revealed.
For Howard Carpendale (75) and his wife Donnice (65), family is one of the most important things in the world, especially at Christmas. The pop star also spoke to Florian Silbereisen (40) in its Saturday evening show “The Advent Festival of 100,000 Lights” stressed. The two only have to do without one member: “We’ll definitely celebrate together [Weihnachten]. The whole family, except for my son who lives in America, unfortunately. “
In fact, the two have not seen the 33-year-old Cass “for almost two years,” as the couple now revealed in an interview with “Bild am Sonntag”. “But we talk on the phone twice a day,” said Donnice. You also “do not give up hope that one day he will move to Munich near us”.
Grandson Mads sets the tone
The happier the two are that they have each other. That was not always so. Despite the approximately 40 years together as a couple and the wedding in 2018, they had separated in the meantime. During this time nobody rang “Howie” twice a day, he remembers in the “Bild am Sonntag”: “When we broke up, she never called me. The best trick ever.” To which Donnice replied dryly: “That wasn’t a trick. For me it was over. If you don’t want me, I won’t call you.”
The radio silence has long since been overcome and thanks to one person there is also a lot of fun at the upcoming Christmas party. Because Cass Carpendale does not fly in from the States, Carpendale’s son Wayne (44), daughter-in-law Annemarie Carpendale (44) and grandchild Mads (3) stop by. And he will take command, as the proud grandpa reveals to Silbereisen: “Now that my grandson is three years old, he will be the main focus. When he says ‘dance’, we dance. When he says ‘sing’ then we sing. ” Wayne Carpendale is from Howard Carpendale’s first marriage to Claudia Herzfeld.
