Marc Terenzi: From addiction to independence – a comeback?

Marc Terenzi (46) sought treatment in a Berlin addiction clinic in September 2024 after a difficult phase. The former pop star sought help after his alcohol addiction became worse as a result of a “toxic relationship” with Verena Kerth (43). In an interview on “People talk about money!” Terenzi revealed that he suffered significant financial losses due to his hospital stay. Many orders failed to materialize and led to a precarious financial situation in which he accumulated debts. However, thanks to the support of his ex-wife Sarah Connor (44) and her husband Florian, he was able to cover the costs of his withdrawal. This gesture shows that despite their separation in 2010, a close connection between the former partners still exists nau.ch reported.

Shocking financial situation

Terenzi said on TV that he was 3,800 euros in the red at the beginning of the month and was also unable to pay the child support due for his two children with Sarah Connor. His ex-wife covered the treatment costs, which was a huge relief for Terenzi. “At the moment my friends and family are paying my fixed costs,” admitted the singer. Nevertheless, he sees an improvement in his situation: Thanks to new TV income, he was able to make the first maintenance repayments and even achieve a small surplus, reports today.at.

The relationship with Verena Kerth, which ended in a high-profile media drama, put a lot of strain on Terenzi. He explained that he was “humiliated, hurt and belittled” in his last relationship. Now he is striving for a more positive future and learning a lot about his mental health and the challenges that come with it. Viewers can look forward to more details about Terenzi's recovery journey in the program “People talk about money!” which will be broadcast on Sat.1 on January 13th at 8:15 p.m.
