Carsten Maschmeyer has been photographed holding hands with a woman who works as a model, according to BILD. The images have drawn attention because they come roughly two months after the German investor and actress Veronica Ferres announced the end of their marriage.
The couple made their separation public in late August, BILD reports. The "Höhle der Löwen" investor, 67, and Ferres, 61, had been together for more than 15 years and were married for nearly twelve of them before deciding to go their separate ways.
According to BILD, the new photographs show the businessman and the model in close company. The outlet says it has additional information about the woman and about where the two were seen together, but that material sits behind its BILDplus paywall and has not been made public in the free portion of the report.
Neither Maschmeyer nor Ferres has commented publicly on the pictures in the reporting available so far, and the nature of the relationship between Maschmeyer and the woman has not been confirmed. The images alone are the basis for the speculation circulating in German media.
Maschmeyer is known to a wide audience as one of the investors on the VOX startup show "Höhle der Löwen," while Ferres is one of Germany's best-known actresses. Their long partnership had made them a familiar pair in German public life.
What to watch next: whether either party addresses the photographs publicly, and whether BILD's fuller account adds confirmed details about the woman or the relationship.
