Caprice Peschel and Luca Beckenbauer are engaged

Luca Beckenbauer is the son of the football player and coach Stephan Beckenbauer, who passed away in 2015, and the grandson of the late football legend Franz Beckenbauer. The 25-year-old grew up in the Munich area and at Lake Tegernsee.

Caprice Peschel is the daughter of Magdalena Brzeska. Brzeska was among the best-known German gymnasts in the 1990s and early 2000s and won several medals at international competitions.

Above all, Magdalena Brzeska is absolutely thrilled about her daughter's and future son-in-law's happiness, as she shared with "GALA." The family is celebrating the engagement in a small circle, it was said.

Reactions and outlook

The couple has been together for years. In early 2019, they went public with their relationship, even though they were in a long-distance relationship between Hanover and southern Germany at the time. By now, they reportedly live together.

The engagement is making big waves on social media. Under the post, numerous congratulatory messages from friends, fans, and companions of the couple gathered within a short time.

When and where the wedding will take place has not yet been announced by Peschel and Beckenbauer. They have also remained tight-lipped about the design of the celebration and the guest list so far.

The news of the engagement appears amid a series of prominent relationships within the Beckenbauer family, which has been in the public spotlight for decades. With the wedding, another generation of the football clan would begin a new chapter in life.

The announcement on June 29 fits into a phase of media attention surrounding the family. Observers interpret the step as a sign of a grown, stable partnership between the two 25-year-olds.
