Separation with presenter Nazan Eckes (46) and her husband Julian Khol (42). The “Bild” newspaper confirmed the 46-year-old’s sister and manager, Belgin Üngör: “Yes, that’s right, Nazan and Julian are no longer a couple. As parents, they share the upbringing of their sons.”
TV star Eckes and the Austrian artist Julian Khol got married in 2012. The couple have two sons together, born in 2014 and 2016. In early October, Eckes shared a picture of the family of four on Instagram. Captioning the selfie in which the children’s faces are obscured, the TV star wrote: “…our ‘big’ baby turned 8 today. We love you to the moon and back.”
Nazan Eckes announced a career change in the spring. The moderator explained on Instagram in April that it was true “that I want to break new ground. And yes, that also applies to my many years of very intensive cooperation with RTL”. Through the long cooperation, the station has developed into a kind of “family” for them. Because she now wants to leave her “comfort zone”, she has decided to give up “my show Extra” and end “the exclusive cooperation with RTL at the end of the year”.
But that doesn’t mean that she’s completely turning her back on the private broadcaster, as she explains further. So “there are ideas to continue to implement joint projects and great formats on a different basis. And I’m really looking forward to it!”, Eckes writes. “At the same time, I leave room for the new, the unimagined, the unplanned…. live a bit in free fall.” As RTL explained at the time, there are “very concrete plans for a big theme evening” and “for a series of interviews that we are currently working on with Nazan”. Nazan Eckes’ career with the broadcaster began in the late 1990s.
