- Marcus Hoefl reconnects with his former partner Marion Popp.
In a surprising turn of events, former ski star Marcus Hoefl and his ex-girlfriend Marion Popp have rekindled their relationship after a 16-year separation. The new chapter in their lives began in November 2024, when Hoefl's father fell ill with cancer. During this difficult time, Popp was incredibly supportive of Hoefl, a gesture that seemed to reignite their bond.
Hoefl and Popp had remained in contact due to their son, Luca, all these years. Now, Hoefl is preparing for a new chapter of his own, as he will soon be moving into an apartment in New York where he works with NBA stars like Dennis Schröder.
Meanwhile, Hoefl's previous marriage to ski star Maria Riesch, which lasted from 2011 to January 2025, has come to an end. Riesch and Hoefl announced their separation in August 2024, and their divorce was finalized in January. Riesch has since moved on, finding happiness in a new relationship with Johann Schrempf.
Popp was previously in a relationship with former DFB president Wolfgang Niersbach from 2014 to December 2024. However, their divorce is currently ongoing. The rekindled relationship between Hoefl and Popp has been characterized as more mature and relaxed compared to their first relationship.
Hoefl and Popp are currently living together in Kitzbühel, with Popp commuting from her work in Munich from time to time. Riesch, on the other hand, is enjoying her new relationship with Schrempf, as she revealed in an interview with 'Bunte'. Schrempf, a Traveling Operations Manager, has been described as the best companion for Popp's new chapter of life.
This news comes as a surprise to many, but for Hoefl and Popp, it seems like a fresh start, filled with happiness and promise.
