Stefan Mross: He almost rejected on Sundays!

Traunstein, Deutschland - Stefan Mross has been the undisputed face of the popular music show “Again and again on Sundays” for two decades. He moderates the format since its takeover in 2005, after which his career went through numerous ups and downs. In retrospect, the 49-year-old pop star admits that he initially had great concerns whether he should take over the moderation. He shared these and other details during a appearance on the talk show "Riverboat".

The beginnings of his career are as multifaceted as his personal life story. Mross was born on November 26, 1975 in Traunstein, Upper Bavaria and began to play trumpet in childhood. His life took a decisive turn when he was discovered by Karl Moik at the age of 13, who found him as a talenter at a wedding. Mross' appearances in Moik's television program "How the Alte Sungs" led to his breakthrough in the music business. In 1989 he won the "Grand Prix of Folk Music" with the "homesick melody" and his career really picked up.

The challenges of moderation

Although Mross was brought to Munich by his management to present the show "again and again on Sundays", he initially hesitated. For a long time, Sunday was known as the "crime scene" day, which gave the moderator headache. In addition, MROSS expressed the desire not to call the program "again and again on Sundays" because he wanted to distance himself from the title. Ultimately, however, they found an agreement and today MROSS is inextricably linked to the show, which he moderated in 2024 in season 20.

In recent years, Mross' life has been shaped by several personal twists, especially by his relationships. For almost two decades he was with the Schlager colleague Stefanie Hertel. The couple married in 2006, but separated five years later. Together they have a daughter, Johanna, who was born in 2001. After the marriage to Hertel, he met the production assistant Susanne Schmidt. This marriage did not last long and ended in 2019.

a moving private life

Another important relationship in Mross ’life began in 2017 with the singer Anna-Carina Woitschack. Mross made a marriage proposal in 2019, and in 2020 they got married on a silver iron show in which more than five million viewers had switched on. Unfortunately, the marriage ended in October 2022. Since March 2023, MROSS is now in a relationship with Eva Luginger and is confident about the future.

A remarkable incident in Mross ’career occurred in 2014 when he collapsed during a live broadcast after eating a sharp currywurst. Such experiences are characterized by the moderator as someone who, despite all the difficulties, always remains present. In addition, Mross has released a total of 23 albums, proof of his tireless commitment to music. During the earlier year 2024, his mother Stefanie, despite her dementia, supported him in carrying out the program.

The biography of Stefan Mross is therefore not only that of a talented musician and moderator, but also that of a person who constantly takes on new challenges and never loses his roots from his eyes. The journey continues and his audience can be excited to see which new chapter he will open in his life.
