Thea Gottschalk is not someone who likes to show herself in public on a regular basis. Pictures on Instagram are a real rarity. A recent post therefore stands out in particular - and not just because of the new neck tattoo, which could conceal a possible message to her ex Thomas Gottschalk.

In March 2019, Thomas Gottschalk and his ex-wife Thea confirmed the end of their long-standing marriage via their lawyer. The couple had separated some time ago, the ex-couple's lawyer confirmed at the time after 43 years of marriage.

However, the presenter and his ex-wife still have one thing in common: their penchant for eccentric looks. Not only has Gottschalk always remained true to his style, Thea Gottschalk is also known for her shrill outfits and extravagant make-up. Although she doesn't often appear in public, she is now making a name for herself on Instagram with an eye-catching neck tattoo.

A skull tattoo with the words "Love Kills Slowly" adorned with a heart adorned the 78-year-old's neck - although it is not clear whether this is a washable tattoo or a permanent one. However, there seems to be no sign of heartbreak: Thea Gottschalk smiles happily into the camera in the photo she shared. Whether she wants to say something to her ex-husband with the neck decoration remains Thea's secret.

"Original and never boring"
Of course, Thea's fans immediately noticed her new body adornment and it seems to have gone down well with them. Comments such as: "A great photo and a stunning tattoo", "Dear Thea Gottschalk, interesting and original as always, never boring", or "Hello Thea, nice tattoo - I like it!" were posted several times under her picture.

Thea Gottschalk met Thomas Gottschalk at a medical ball in 1972. They married four years later and their first son was born in 1982. In 1989, the Gottschalks adopted another son. After separating from Thea in 2019, the former "Wetten, dass...?" presenter got together with Karina Mroß.
