The 1990s not only produced musical and cultural trends, but also prominent lovers who shaped the public image of the time. This article highlights iconic German couples of the 90s and objectively shows how their lives and career paths have developed up to the year 2025.
The 1990s in Germany were not only musically and culturally formative, but also a time in which prominent lovers were in the public eye. Some relationships became long-running media stories, others quietly disappeared from the public eye. This article takes a factual look at well-known German couples from the 1990s and how their lives have developed up to 2025.
1. Boris Becker & Barbara Becker
Boris and Barbara Becker were among the most dazzling celebrity couples in Germany in the 1990s. Their marriage, which took place in 1993, was heavily in the media spotlight and shaped the public image of that time.
Today, in 2025, both have been living separately for a long time: Barbara Becker continues to be successful in the design and lifestyle segment, while Boris Becker, after great sporting triumphs, has also been shaped by challenging private and financial chapters. Despite everything, their shared past is still considered an iconic part of German pop culture of the 90s.
2. Til Schweiger & Dana Schweiger
The actor and director Til Schweiger and Dana Schweiger were particularly present towards the end of the 90s. Her family was often in the public eye.
In 2025, the couple has been separated for a long time. Til Schweiger remains active in the film business, while Dana Schweiger lives predominantly in the USA and continues to pursue her professional career there. Their children are now adults and some of them have embarked on creative career paths of their own.
3. Heike Makatsch & Daniel Craig (late 90s)
Even though Daniel Craig is not German, his relationship with German actress Heike Makatsch attracted attention in the late 1990s.
In 2025 the relationship will be a thing of the past. Heike Makatsch continues to be a fixture in film and television, while Daniel Craig is best known internationally for his role in James Bond.
4. Verona Feldbusch (Pooth) & Dieter Bohlen
The short but intense marriage between Verona Feldbusch and Dieter Bohlen was one of the most discussed celebrity topics of the 90s.
In 2025, both have been present in public independently of each other for many years. Dieter Bohlen remains a polarizing figure in the music and TV sectors, while Verona Pooth has established herself as an entrepreneur and presenter.
5. Jasmin Wagner (Blümchen) & Lucas Cordalis (early years)
As “Blümchen”, Jasmin Wagner was a defining face of pop music in the 90s. Relationships from this time were often discussed publicly.
In 2025, Jasmin Wagner has developed further musically and is also active as an actress. Today she largely keeps her private life out of the public eye.
6. Guildo Horn & his partner (publicly reserved)
Guildo Horn was an integral part of the German music and TV landscape in the 90s, but mostly deliberately kept his private life in the background.
In 2025 he will continue to be musically active and consciously focuses on consistency instead of media self-dramatization - a clear contrast to the distinctive celebrity culture of the 1990s.
7. Ralph Siegel & Désirée Nick
The relationship between music producer Ralph Siegel and entertainer Désirée Nick attracted media attention and was highly polarizing in the late 1990s.
In 2025 both have taken their own path. Ralph Siegel is still known for his contribution to German music, while Désirée Nick has established herself as an author and TV personality.
