Your stars of the week
Actor Ingo Naujoks has been living in Berlin for many years with his girlfriend Corinna, their two children and their son Lou (5). The perfect patchwork idyll - you might think so. But someone is missing: the 15-year-old Luna from the first marriage of the television stars and musicians. In the interview, the 49-year-old reveals how he handles the separation from his daughter ...
Luna lives in Bochum. How much does that hurt you? Ingo Naujoks : It hurts a lot. I met Corinna and her two children when Luna was just six. As I have often thought: Why am I sitting here with strange children and not with my birth daughter? I give them all my love, while the human child, which is my own flesh and blood, is 600 kilometers away from me. I found that unfair. What is the contact with Luna? Ingo Naujoks : We meet regularly, but usually only on Saturdays and Sundays. That's hard for me. Then I always play the weekend dad. I'm always in a good mood and spoil her. On Monday, everyday life starts again, without Luna. Then I rant with the children I live with under one roof. Often I think: What am I an asshole. My daughter gets icing sugar on her head, and the others gripe at you. Do you also differentiate between the love between your physical and Corinna children? Ingo Naujoks: Let's put it this way: No matter what a kidney would need, it would get it. I love them all for the world. But nevertheless, I believe that the emotional attachment to the biological offspring is different. Is there something in your life that you regret? Ingo Naujoks: The quarrels during my marriage. Luna was always right in the middle of things when the scraps of my then wife and I flew. It got very loud and my daughter had to experience it all. It was awful that I did this to Luna. Even the wounds that I and my daughter have suffered, I would have gladly spared us.
Why have not you married your partner yet, even though you have already made several applications? Ingo Naujoks: When we got to know each other, we were both freshly divorced. I was deeply in love with Corinna and I made her two marriage proposals. But now I'm scared to marry her. Why? Ingo Naujoks: I remember how my last marriage failed. At that time I never thought that I would get into such a situation. What happened then? Ingo Naujoks: It was not a nice break. We argued a lot. Among other things, it was about money. I have always been a generous person and never thought that my ex-wife behaved like that. After all, we shared many years together and she got to know me well over time. She knows my financial situation. There is a lot of money, sometimes not much. If the maintenance was due and I just did not have any money, she still demanded it. She just had to wait a few days until the money was in my account. How did you feel then? Ingo Naujoks: Not good. I've been wondering all the time: how did I earn that? If I have money, my ex-wife also gets money. But if I do not have anything, then unfortunately I can not pay her anything. I'm not a miser, and she knows that too. When I noticed how bitter-sweet it all is, I was afraid of a second marriage. That's where the mistrust comes through ... Ingo Naujoks: Exactly. Although a marriage between me and Corinna does not really change anything. I love her and we even have a child together. I also want her to be my wife, but I can not get that last step, though I really want it. Inwardly, something resists tremendously in me and I do not know how to handle it. Have you already secured and made a will? Ingo Naujoks: No. That's because I can not handle this system. Insurance, insurance, employment office - that overtaxes me. I do not refuse, but I just do not understand it. Corinna also constantly says that I have to protect my family. If I have a car accident and go into a coma, she can not even visit me because we are not married. That should still be an incentive to marry ... Ingo Naujoks: Yes, actually. That's completely idiotic of me. But I think I will do that too. Maybe not this year, but for my 50th birthday that would be nice.
