Before they married in 1976, Niki and Marlene dated for a while. They were one of the most well-known celebrity couples then, yet they remained largely unnoticed by the media. Their love story was frequently featured on page three of newspapers. According to insiders, Marlene reportedly passed out after seeing Niki’s burns and damaged eyelashes following a tragic ‘Grand Prix collision.

In 1991, Marlene and Niki called it quits on their marriage. They stayed in touch, and Marlene was a regular at their family gatherings. Niki married Birgit Wetzinger, a flight attendant for his airline, in 2008, despite not remarrying or dating anybody after the divorce.

A daughter named Mia and a boy named Max were born to Niki and Birgit. According to reports, he also had a son named Christoph from an extramarital relationship.
