Thomas Gottschalk’s son Tristan is getting married. This is revealed by the 71-year-old “Wetten, dass ..?” Moderator in a new interview.
Shortly before his one-off “Wetten, dass ..?” Comeback next Saturday (November 6th), Thomas Gottschalk (71, “Die Supernasen”) drops a private bomb. As he reports “Bild”, his son Tristan (32) got engaged in the USA.
“My youngest, Tristan, has just got engaged to his girlfriend Alexa,” the 71-year-old reveals in an interview with the daily newspaper. The news makes him “happy,” he continues. “That’s important to me.”
Gottschalk is in regular contact with his two sons, who live in the USA: “We talk a lot on the phone.” The conversations, however, revolved around “private matters” and not professional matters.
Thomas and Thea Gottschalk adopted their son Tristan in 1989
Thomas Gottschalk and his still-wife Thea (75) adopted the now 32-year-old Tristan in 1989. Their older son Roman (38) was born in 1982. In order to enable the children to grow up undisturbed, the family moved to California in the mid-1990s.
