The divorce saga between ARD moderator Stefan Mross (49) and musician Anna-Carina Woitschack (32) appears to be far from over, continuing to draw public interest as the couple struggles through legal disputes over finances and the prolonged separation.
On March 10, 2025, the pair met for the second time at the Passau District Court, resuming discussions around their divorce but reportedly leaving without any resolution. The court session, which began at 11:00 AM, once again focused on missing financial disclosures from Mross, which have been at the core of their disagreements.
Woitschack and Mross have been separated since 2022, following two years of marriage. Their divorce, which the public anticipated would be straightforward, has evolved over nearly the same span and has showcased tensions culminating from financial discrepancies. Previously, during their court appearance last October, the hearing was cut short after just 40 minutes due to incomplete asset declarations from Mross, prompting frustration from both parties.
Despite the lack of progress, Woitschack left the courtroom visibly in good spirits, reportedly stating, "Mir geht es sehr gut" (I’m doing very well), indicating her optimistic outlook amid the chaos. Conversely, Mross exited the hearing without making any comments, which suggests he may not share the same sentiment.
Prior to the latest hearing, Mross reiterated to Bild news outlets, "An uns liegt es nicht" (It’s not up to us), seemingly deflecting responsibility for the delays. The former couple’s discord seems to stem from money matters, particularly the request from Woitschack for a one-time severance payment instead of alimony, which she feels is necessary to finalize their separation.
Looking back, the complications were evident as early as June 4, 2024, when Woitschack missed another scheduled court date, citing her participation on reality television as one reason for her absence. Notably, during her stint on Dschungelcamp, she revealed her regret over not having prepared a marriage contract before the union, expressing, "Das ist nicht gut, wenn man das nicht macht" (It’s not good when you don’t do this), reflecting her frustration over the control she lacks now during the divorce proceedings.
Adding to the emotional weight of this divorce is the fact it has been playing out publicly, with fans and followers watching closely since the couple broadcasted their love story—right from their engagement proposal on television to joint appearances. Their relationship was closely followed, making this legal back-and-forth even more dramatic for fans.
Now as they prepare for their next court appearance, many are left wondering when and how this drawn-out saga will conclude. With each court date, more personal details emerge, captivating audiences who have invested emotionally in the couple’s life story. Yet, undisclosed financial details appear to be the central barrier to finalizing any agreements.
While Mross claims he cannot afford the severance payment Woitschack seeks, the future remains uncertain as both parties walked away from the recent hearing with unresolved issues. It remains to be seen whether their contentious relationship can find closure or if they will continue to battle it out over their finances and the remnants of their shared life.
For now, the next steps are unclear, even with Woitschack's light-hearted demeanor walking out of the court. She remains adamant about reaching amicable terms but, as demonstrated, negotiations have yet to yield workable outcomes for either party. The waiting game continues as legal experts anticipate more courtroom drama surrounding their finances and potential settlements.
