Julia Klöckner and Jörg Pilawa are in a romantic relationship
In a surprising turn of events, German politician Julia Klöckner and television presenter Jörg Pilawa have confirmed their relationship. The couple, who have chosen to keep many details private to protect their personal lives, met via mutual friends at a festive gathering in Guldental, Klöckner's hometown.
Klöckner, the President of the Bundestag since March 2025, and Pilawa, a well-known figure in German entertainment television, have been frequently seen together in Klöckner's rural constituency of Bad Kreuznach. Their families have reportedly known each other, indicating an emerging closeness not only between them but also among their relatives.
The relationship between the two public figures, one from the political sphere and the other from media, has drawn considerable attention in Germany. Klöckner, a prominent politician, and Pilawa, a popular TV presenter, represent a unique blend of two distinct public spheres.
Before this relationship, Klöckner was previously married and divorced in 2023, while details about Pilawa's prior personal life are less publicly documented, focusing mainly on his media career. The couple has been cautious about their public exposure, limiting their high-profile joint public events.
Julia Klöckner, aged 52, is the fourth woman to lead the Bundestag. She served as Federal Minister of Agriculture from 2018 to 2021 and was the economic policy spokeswoman for the CDU/CSU parliamentary group in the Bundestag from 2021 to 2025.
Pilawa, aged 59, is currently involved in the new season of the show "Das 1%-Quiz - Wie clever ist Deutschland?" on Sat.1. He has moderated shows such as "NDR Talk Show", "Frag doch mal die Maus", "Rette die Million", "Herzblatt", and "Das Quiz". Pilawa is also known for his roles in shows like "Großstadtrevier" and "Tatort".
