Berlin – Jens Spahn has been a member of the German Bundestag since he was 22 years old. The 45-year-old is now the most powerful politician after the Chancellor and must organize a majority in parliament for Friedrich Merz (70, CDU). Time for family is rare and must be planned well. But Spahn hasn’t erased one desire in his personal life: becoming a father.
This was stated by the Chairman of the United Parliamentary Group when talking with ntv presenter Pinar Atalay (47). When asked about the topic, Spahn said: “Basically, I can still imagine it.” So far Desire to have children not yet fulfilled. “Now the requirements are a little more difficult for us to meet,” he said CDU-Politician with the aim of same-sex marriage with “Peek & Cloppenburg” manager Daniel Funke (44).

Not enough time to start a family?
Top-level politics “pretty much dictates life,” Spahn said. “You really want that because it dictates all aspects of your personal life and other areas of your life.”
Likewise, a mayor was approached while shopping, swimming and walking, Spahn said. “And if you have a slightly different responsibility in the last few years and a little more recognition, then that determines everything.” You really have to want it, said the former Minister of Health. He checks himself regularly: “Do I still want it? Am I still passionate enough?” Spahn: “So far the answer is yes.”

It’s been four years ago Spahn in an interview with “Bunte” talked about wanting to have children. At the time he said: “I think we will be good parents. We talked about it, nothing is certain yet. But if we do, then in the near future, we will not get any younger.”
