Bundestag President Julia Klöckner and television presenter Jörg Pilawa made their first public appearance as a couple on Friday. The pair attended the celebrations marking the Day of German Unity in Saarbrücken.
Reports of the relationship surfaced in the German media at the beginning of August, prompting a period of relative privacy for Ms. Klöckner, who has historically kept her personal life largely out of the public eye.
While no direct confirmation was initially issued, legal representatives subsequently acted on behalf of Ms. Klöckner to prevent the publication of paparazzi photographs, suggesting the veracity of the reports. Sources indicate that the 52-year-old President and the 59-year-old presenter reportedly met through mutual friends at an event in Rhineland-Palatinate.
