Anna-Carina Woitschack is no stranger to the limelight, her name often associated with major events and public relationships. Most are familiar with her as the ex-wife of Schlager singer Stefan Mross, but few realize the twists and turns her love life has taken, including her past relationship with Marco Lombardi, brother of DSDS star Pietro Lombardi.
Born 32 years ago, Anna-Carina rose to fame after her participation in the 2011 season of Deutschland sucht den Superstar (DSDS), where she finished eighth. This season was notable not only for her performance but also for the emergence of Pietro Lombardi, who would go on to win the competition. While Pietro captured hearts, Anna-Carina found love elsewhere, eventually dating Lombardi's brother Marco.
Anna-Carina and Marco Lombardi's romance blossomed during her stint on the show. They dated for three years, and Marco was even supportive of Anna-Carina’s career, accompanying her during her puppet theater tours. Nevertheless, the couple split in 2014, and the breakup was fraught with drama. Marco publicly criticized her on Facebook, stating, "I have broken up with Anna after three years. She cannot differentiate between true people and puppets." His remarks hinted at discord over her ambitions and lifestyle, making their split even more scandalous.
“It just wasn’t working anymore; he simply wasn’t behind me,” Anna-Carina recounted, explaining the tumultuous end of their relationship. Marco’s jealousy reportedly became unbearable, leading to their separation. “He would monitor what I wore and even imposed restrictions on my outfits,” she disclosed, indicating the controlling nature of their dynamic.
After moving on, Anna-Carina found herself involved with another prominent figure in the music industry—Stefan Mross. Their relationship saw public milestones, including a televised marriage proposal and their wedding captured live for audiences. The couple tied the knot in June 2020; yet, it was not to last. By November 2022, they announced their breakup, marking another challenging chapter in Anna-Carina’s life.
Despite the high-profile splits and public scrutiny, Anna-Carina has remained focused on her career. With hits like “Liebe auf den zweiten Blick,” “Märchenbuch,” and “Smalltalk,” she has proven her resilience within the competitive Schlager scene, having spent nearly 14 years captivating fans with her music.
This year, Anna-Carina is set to take on new challenges as she prepares to join the cast of Dschungelcamp 2025. The show kicks off on January 24, 2025, and she’ll be among eleven celebrities pushed to their limits. This project will require her to momentarily leave behind her current boyfriend, Daniel, though they maintain a relationship largely out of the spotlight. Anna-Carina shares, "This is another step for me to challenge myself and grow as a person."
Anna-Carina’s past, especially her marriage to Mross, continues to cast shadows over her current endeavors. Speculations abound surrounding how the couple will navigate their separation publicly, especially as Mross has made pointed remarks about her. Anna-Carina, meanwhile, has chosen to approach her situation with grace, asserting her commitment to focusing on personal growth rather than airing grievances.
While she prepares herself for the ins and outs of the reality show lifestyle, Anna-Carina is adamant about maintaining her integrity. She stated firmly, “There has been much speculation and some arrows shot my way, but I go on the show for the adventure, not to expose anyone.” Their divorce process appears difficult, and both parties seem to have carved out narratives of their own public personas.
Anna-Carina’s story paints her as more than just Mross’s ex-wife or Lombardi’s former flame; she’s building her legacy as both artist and survivor. Her relationship with Daniel, though kept private, symbolizes her ability to find love and happiness beyond previous tribulations.
What remains to be seen is how her time on Dschungelcamp 2025 will impact her career and personal reputation moving forward. Will Anna-Carina use the platform to carve out new openings? Or will she keep her focus on becoming the best version of herself, free from the weight of past relationships? Only time will tell.
