Anna-Carina Woitschack, known to many as the former partner of Stefan Mross, is preparing for her next adventure as she joins the cast of Dschungelcamp 2025. The 32-year-old singer, who rose to fame on the German music show Deutschland sucht den Superstar (DSDS) back in 2011, is excited for this new chapter, albeit with the bittersweet knowledge of leaving her current relationship on hold.
While many recognize her as Mross's ex-wife, Anna-Carina's love life has been anything but ordinary. Interestingly, before her marriage, she was linked with Marco Lombardi, the brother of DSDS champion Pietro Lombardi. Their romance blossomed behind the scenes of the DSDS competition when both Anna-Carina and Pietro participated, with the latter capturing hearts nationwide during the show.
Anna-Carina and Marco's relationship spanned three years, from 2011 to 2014, and during this period, Marco accompanied her on tours as she performed puppet shows, reflecting their close bond. But like many tales of young love, theirs ended, and not on the best of terms. Marco took to Facebook to air his grievances, stating, "Ich habe mich nach 3 Jahren von Anna getrennt. Da sie wahre Menschen wirklich nicht von Puppen trennen kann," which translates to, "I ended my relationship with Anna after three years because she can't really separate true humans from puppets."
Anna-Carina, for her part, later revealed to Promiflash, "Es ging nicht mehr, er stand einfach nicht mehr hinter mir," meaning "It just wasn't working anymore, he was no longer supporting me." She suggested his insecurities contributed to the end of their relationship, claiming he would monitor her wardrobe choices and instill restrictions on her appearance.
Following her time with Marco Lombardi, Anna-Carina ventured forth, eventually finding love with Stefan Mross, another notable figure within the German Schlager scene. The couple made headlines when Mross proposed on live television, leading to their wedding on June 20, 2020. Yet, the thrill of their romance diminished, and after two years of marriage, they announced their separation in November 2022. Interestingly, it seems their breakup has been accompanied by significant media drama, with Mross openly critiquing Anna-Carina, adding strain to their already tumultuous relationship.
Despite the challenges faced with Mross, Anna-Carina has quickly moved on and is now happily dating Daniel, 30, who has helped her find some stability away from the spotlight. Their relationship, unlike her previous ones, has mostly stayed out of the media frenzy, allowing her to find happiness on her own terms.
With her upcoming participation in Dschungelcamp 2025 starting January 24, Anna-Carina is embracing this chance for self-discovery and adventure. This opportunity allows her not only to showcase her strength but potentially address some of the shadows from her past relationships. Although she insists her intentions aren’t to spill secrets about Mross or her past romances, she acknowledged the unpredictable nature of reality TV when she stated, "Ich LIEBE Herausforderungen und Abenteuer – ich mache das, worauf ich Lust habe, und genau deshalb bin ich dabei," meaning "I LOVE challenges and adventures – I do what I feel like, and that's why I'm here."
Anna-Carina is ready to tackle challenges, but she also makes it clear she won't shy away from sharing her experiences if it feels right. Her statement, "Ich lasse mir aber auch nicht den Mund verbieten und werde im Dschungel sagen, was ich in dem Moment fühle," translates to, "I won’t let anyone silence me, and I’ll say what I feel at the moment on the show," suggests she may be more open than some expect.
With all that's happened, Anna-Carina Woitschack is poised at the forefront of her career with upcoming challenges and the resolution of her personal life. From previous heartbreaks to her blossoming relationship with Daniel and now her commitment to the Dschungelcamp, she is carving out her unique path as she moves forward.
