Degen was officially single for years. Back in April, he made it public on the FCB podcast "Achzädreyenünzig" that he was in love: "I have a girlfriend. But I don't want to say any more about it." He told CH-Media last December: "I really want children. And I know that it has to happen soon - otherwise I'm too old."

Wulf achieved fame as an actress. She has appeared in series such as "Alarm für Cobra 11" and "Kreuzfahrt ins Glück". Since February 2025, she has played the entrepreneur Larissa Mahnke in the ARD telenovela "Sturm der Liebe".
