Georgina Stumpf, a 36-year-old television presenter, is opening up about her tumultuous four-year relationship with rapper Sido, whose real name is Paul Würdig. Stumpf, who recently became a mother, reflects on the challenges she faced during their time together, including her struggles with drug addiction and the eventual end of their relationship.
Initially, Stumpf describes her love for Sido as profound, stating, "I was deeply in love, he blew me away with his personality." The couple shared a deep emotional connection, engaging in long conversations that made her feel special. However, as time went on, Stumpf began to feel smaller and less valued in the relationship. "I stopped working and lost my sense of self-worth," she admits. This sense of inadequacy led her to a dark place where she turned to drugs, particularly cocaine, to cope with her feelings and manage household responsibilities.
Stumpf’s drug use escalated from occasional use at parties to almost daily consumption. "At the end, I was even using it to get through daily tasks," she reveals. Her addiction isolated her from friends, and she ultimately sought help, entering rehab for six weeks in January 2024 after experiencing suicidal thoughts. "I didn’t want to live like that anymore," she confesses.
Despite her recovery, Stumpf's relationship with Sido did not survive. In December 2024, just weeks after the birth of their daughter in late November, Sido announced their breakup publicly during a concert. Stumpf was blindsided, learning about the split through social media. "I was surprised that he announced it like that. I had no idea beforehand," she says, reflecting on the shock of the situation.
Stumpf describes their relationship as an 'on-off' situation since the spring of 2024, and she often questioned why they could not establish a stable family life together. Ultimately, she acknowledges that it is for the best that their relationship has ended. "It’s good that it’s over," she states, emphasizing her desire to move forward.
In this challenging phase of her life, Stumpf found unexpected support from Charlotte Würdig, Sido's ex-wife and the mother of his son. The two women have formed a close bond, living together under one roof. Stumpf currently resides in a basement apartment at Würdig's home with her five-month-old daughter. "We have a sisterly relationship," Stumpf explains. "I couldn’t afford my own place right now, and she offered me her home."
As Stumpf looks to the future, she is determined to establish her independence. "I don’t want to be seen just as Sido’s ex, but as my own person," she declares. Her aspiration is to build a house for herself and her daughter, a dream that she is now actively pursuing.
Stumpf also shared a glimpse of her recent personal growth, revealing that she has reactivated her Spotify account after a long hiatus from music. "I listened to my entire playlist, and it didn’t hurt anymore. I even danced," she says, expressing newfound joy and peace. "I cried once, but it was out of happiness and looking forward to what’s coming. Now I’m free!"
In a notable development, Stumpf and Würdig are set to launch a podcast titled "The Real Ex Wives" in May, where they plan to discuss their experiences and insights. Stumpf is eager to share her story and offer a different perspective on life after a high-profile relationship.
As she moves forward, Stumpf is focused on her goals and the well-being of her daughter. She reflects on her past with resilience, stating, "I want to be recognized as an independent woman, not just as Sido’s ex." With the support of friends and a renewed sense of purpose, Stumpf is ready to embrace the next chapter of her life.
