For many people, Easter is primarily a family celebration. Model Gloria-Sophie Burkandt (24) also spends the holidays with her loved ones. “I visit my mother and father – but separately,” she reveals on the sidelines of an event in Munich.
The 24-year-old is the eldest daughter of Markus Söder (56) and comes from a previous relationship with the Bavarian Prime Minister. She and her mother still look for Easter eggs today. “She always hides something for me in the garden. But the presents are getting smaller and smaller.” It is more important for her anyway “that you have parents who stand by you and are proud of you. Everything else doesn’t matter.”
In addition to her modeling career, Burkandt completed a dual degree in economics. Now the 24-year-old also wants to start as an actress. “I’m 100 percent focused on my acting coaching right now.” Even at Easter she doesn’t take a break. “I’ve taken a lot of vacations my whole life, especially in the last few years, but now I’m putting my career first,” says Burkandt. “Ambition runs in our family.”
