Revamped Dreams and Diverse Endeavors: A Deep Dive into Inka Bause's Life
For almost a decade, German television personality Inka Bause has been juggling multiple roles. From hosting the popular reality show "Farmer Wants a Wife" to pursuing a music career, Bause has made quite a name for herself. But her personal life, especially her romantic ventures, have remained intriguing mysteries.
Love Emeralds and Struggles: Inka Bause and Hendrik Bruch
Inka's love story etched its way into the public eye when she was married to musician Hendrik Bruch for nearly a decade. Their daughter, Anneli, remained a unifying force even after their separation in 2005. Tragically, Bruch took his life in 2016, leaving Bause to grapple with immense grief. Bruch, battling depression, found solace hard to come by.[1][2]
Single and Serene: The Aftermath of Breakups
Post her relationship with Bruch, Inka shared three years with politician Stefan Gebhardt. Their relationship ended in 2011. Inka, in a 2017 interview, admitted that dating in her line of work can be challenging. "I don't want to grow old alone," she expressed, hinting at her desire to share her life with someone special, perhaps even in an unconventional setting like a retirement home.[3]
As of 2025, no steady companion has graced Inka's public appearances. Nonetheless, Anneli remains an anchor in her life.[3] Another twist in the tale unfolded in 2025 when Inka revealed her plans of relocating to Sweden after her television stint, much like Anneli who had moved there.[4]

Inka's charisma is not confined to the "Farmer Wants a Wife" set alone. Since November 2020, she has graced the airwaves of "Schlager Radio B2" with her show "Inka's Evening." Despite mastering the studio equipment, Inka shared her apprehensions about making mistakes with so many buttons to manage.[4]
On the musical front, Inka began her journey in 1987 with her debut album "INKA." Her 1989 hit "Aber Du" placed third in the ZDF Hit Parade. Inka gained national fame in 1998 with the song "Ich will nur Dich," which secured her a third-place finish at the German Schlager Festival.[6]

To avoid any potential competition for the hearts of the contestants, Bause chose to steer clear of dating anyone from her show.[5]
