She has sorted her thoughts and is unpacking.
“Stefan and I decided to go our separate ways during our vacation on Lake Garda”: Iris Katzenberger drops a bombshell on Instagram on Thursday (April 9). The relationship between her and Stefan Braun is therefore over. Since this time both have decided to separate after numerous conversations, the end of love could really be final. There was already a crisis and lots of separation rumors in the summer of 2025. Stefan's account is currently deactivated.
The two were repeatedly seen together on red carpets in Mallorca, Stefan (47) was also welcomed into the Katzenberger family with open arms. And in interviews, Iris raved about his gentlemanly attitude. The two have also moved in together. There was even talk of a wedding.
But now there is no talk of rash decisions and impulsive freak-outs. Quite the opposite. Iris's post reads very calmly and thoughtfully. Stefan has deactivated his account and cannot be reached.
According to Iris' statement, the two talked and decided together. In a relaxed environment on holiday. And the two part “on good terms” and with respect, as Iris writes. She also provides the reason directly: The ideas about a relationship are simply too different, as a couple they have not developed together, but in different directions. And that can really happen to anyone.
