Brühl Married Felicitas In 2016
Brühl and Felicitas got married in a secret wedding ceremony. The Falcon & Winter Soldier actor kept his marriage hidden for nearly two years.
Daniel finally opened up about his personal life to Bunte Magazine in February 2018. The couple started dating in 2010, but many details about their relationship still remain undisclosed to their fans, including their anniversary date and how they met.
Thanks to her professional background, Felicitas became a great help in preparing her husband for his role as Dr. Lazlo Kreizler in the 2018 show, The Alienist. She also introduced the actor to criminal psychologists to help him prepare for his character.
Moreover, the actor and his partner were also featured together in an ad campaign by Vogue and GQ in 2019.
The couple previously lived in Berlin, Germany, but shifted to Spain in 2022. The Rush star revealed the corona pandemic and the ongoing Ukraine war as the main reasons behind the shift.
As of 2023, the Bruhl family lives a peaceful life in the countryside of Spain.
Before Rombold, Daniel was engaged to actress Jessica Schwartz. The former partners met while working together in the 2001 movie, No Regrets. The two dated for years before eventually parting ways in 2006.

Daniel Is 10 Years Older Than Felicitas
Daniel and Felicitas have an age gap of 10 years between them. The Inglourious Basterds actor is the older of the two.
Rombold was born in Germany on May 24, 1988; she is currently 34 years old. On the other hand, her husband Daniel is 44 years old. He was born in Barcelona, Spain, on June 16, 1978.
Bruhl is the son of Hanno Brühl and Marisa González Domingo. His father Hanno was a German film director best known for working in movies, including Sehnsucht, Baff – Fast eine Sendung, and Die Andere Seite der Welt. Likewise, his mother Marisa worked as a Spanish teacher. His mom’s lack of trust in German doctors was the only reason he was born in Spain.
Soon after Daniel’s birth, the family moved to Cologne, Germany, where he was raised alongside a brother named Oliver Bruhl and a sister named Miriam Bruhl.
The Bruhl siblings grew up speaking multiple languages, including German, Spanish, French, and Catalan.

Bruhl mostly keeps his kids out of the media spotlight. The last time Daniel made a public appearance with his children was in 2018 when he was seen on the streets of Taormina, Italy with his firstborn Anton.
During an interview with Bild Magazine in 2019, the Helmut Zemo actor opened up about fatherhood. Daniel revealed that he was not a helicopter parent and wanted his son to become an independent individual.
