Marriage ceremony finally takes place - Marriage dissolution re-affirmed.
In a significant development, former German President Christian Wulff and his wife Bettina have officially divorced after almost two decades of marriage. The divorce was finalized on August 13, 2025.
The news of the divorce was confirmed by Christian Wulff's Berlin office to the German Press Agency. Bettina Wulff was also seen with a new partner in April 2025, making their separation public.
The divorce hearing took place at the Local Court in Burgwedel, under the jurisdiction of the Regional Court of Hanover. Christian Wulff had no comment on the divorce at the Maschsee festival, while Bettina Wulff also remained silent on the matter.
The couple, who met in 2006 during a business trip to South Africa, married in a civil ceremony in March 2008. Their son was born in the summer of that same year. The couple officially separated for the first time in January 2013 but reunited in 2015. They exchanged vows again in a civil ceremony in March 2023, but this second marriage was short-lived, leading to their final divorce in 2025.
Christian Wulff had no further comment on the divorce, stating that "private matters are private". The details about their relationship timeline, including any periods of separation or reunion before this final divorce, are not provided in the current search results.
The office of the former federal president also confirmed the end of the marriage to "Neue Presse". Despite the divorce, the couple's friendship and co-parenting relationship remains strong, according to sources close to them.
