26 year age difference: Rare selfie of Gerhard Schröder and his wife

Gerhard Schröder and his wife Soyeon Schröder-Kim have long been smiling when taking selfies together. The image attracts attention.

Gerhard Schröder (81) returns to social media – for a long time not saying much about the former Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany. He appeared with his wife Soyeon Schröder-Kim (55).

Gerhard Schröder and his wife Soyeon are happy

After a long time, former Chancellor Gerhard Schröder appeared in public again with his wife Soyeon Schröder-Kim – in a selfie. The photo posted on Soyeon Schröder-Kim’s Instagram account shows the couple smiling and looking at the camera. This is the first photo of the two together in months.

The photo shows the two of them in intimate togetherness. The photo was apparently taken while hanging out together and was accompanied by warm comments from Soyeon Schröder-Kim. The Schröder family played golf together “under the Hanover sunshine.”

Gerhard Schröder and his wife have been married since 2018

The Schröder couple have largely withdrawn from social media in recent months. The new image was well received by his followers. One wrote: ‘I’m so happy to finally hear/see something from you and your husband again.’ Another kept it shorter: “I’m so happy to see it!”

Gerhard Schröder, who served as Federal Chancellor from 1998 to 2005, has been married to Soyeon Schröder-Kim, a native of South Korea, since 2018. The Schröder family has always shown themselves to be a harmonious couple and share insights about their life together via social media.

Former Chancellor Gerhard Schröder is suffering from exhaustion

The online hiatus was also linked to Schröder’s health. As it became known in February, Gerhard Schröder had undergone clinical treatment due to a burnout diagnosis. In May, during an appearance in Lower Saxony’s state parliament, he said that a complete recovery from his illness was “not at all certain this year.” He would avoid stressful situations for now.
