Lunar beauty: why supermodel Nadia Auermann disappeared from the catwalks and what she is doing now

Nadia Auermann’s career began exactly as many girls dream of – with a chance but fateful encounter with a scout. Shortly after graduating from school in her native Berlin, the blonde beauty was spotted in a cafe by a modeling agent.

Other events developed with incredible speed. In 1990, when Nadia was 19, she moved to Paris, where she signed a contract with the famous Elite agency. Photo shoots of Ellen von Unwerth, Richard Avedon, Peter Lindbergh, Helmut Newton, the appearance in George Michael’s video “Too Funky”, the cover of American Vogue catapulted Nadia Auermann into the ranks of top models of the 90s To date, the blonde is considered the most famous and successful German model along with Claudia Schiffer and Heidi Klum.

By the way, his famous compatriot Karl Lagerfeld once compared Auermann’s beauty to moonlight. The “cold” charm of the model really had a hypnotic effect. From 1997 to 1999, Nadia was also included in the Guinness Book of Records as the owner of the longest legs among female models. Their length is 112 cm. Subsequently, the record passed to Ana Hickman.

It seemed that with such data, Nadia should have lingered in the modeling business, but the star of the catwalk set her priorities differently.

Modeling was never everything to her – she always wanted a family and children. At the end of the 1990s, it was time to make a choice. In 1997, she gave birth to a daughter, Cosima, with media executive Olaf-Bjorn Tietz. Alas, the relationship quickly failed, but already in 1998 the model married actor Wolfram Grandezka, they had a son. After seven years, the marriage broke up.

However, of course, a beauty like Nadia Auermann did not remain alone for long. But this time, the model has decided to be more secretive. The name of her current husband, a psychiatrist from Bonn, is still unknown to the public, but they have been together for a long time and are raising two daughters born in 2010 and 2013. By the way, Nadia also kept her last pregnancy a secret – the fact that at this time the 42-year-old model became a mother for the fourth time, everyone found out after the fact.

Today, Auermann occasionally attends social events. Of course, she had changed over the years, and weight fluctuations were familiar to her – especially during pregnancies. But the ex-model is completely calm about it.

“If you decide to have children, it’s perfectly normal to have a few extra pounds on the sides,” she said.

She has no plans to return to the industry, but Auermann has waived her replacement nonetheless. Her eldest daughter Cosima also tries herself as a model: the girl starred in glossy magazines and, by the way, also managed to pose for the legendary Peter Lindbergh, who also shot her mother (recall that the photographer died in 2019).
