Enthuses over solitary living on Mallorca's scenic landscapes - Living it up as a single woman in Mallorca.
TV host Nazan Eckes (49) has found a new rhythm in life, especially since her relocation to the Balearic Island of Mallorca. In an interview with "Gala," she detailed her current living arrangements, revealing that she dwells in the north of the island with her ex-husband, Julian Khol (45), and their sons Lounis (10) and Ilyas (8). The family practices a co-parenting arrangement known as the "nest model," where the boys have a primary residence in the shared household. Their time is divided between both parents, with frequent family gatherings on weekends, birthdays, and holidays at their countryside home, or finca.
Eckes expressed that her perspective on life has shifted since her move from Cologne. Whereas her focus in the city was to quickly accomplish tasks and tick off to-do lists, life on Mallorca encourages a slower pace. Currently, Eckes is single, but she remains open to potential future love: "If love appears, I won't hide it." For now, she proudly emphasizes her dedication to her sons and personal growth.
Married to advertising entrepreneur Claus Eckes from 2000 to 2007, Eckes still bears his surname in public. After this childless marriage, she wed Austrian painter Julian Khol in 2012, eventually becoming a mother of two. Their separation was announced in 2022, although specifics of their current living arrangements following the split are not publicly disclosed[1].
Since 1999, Eckes has primarily worked for private broadcaster RTL, hosting various shows and programs such as "Let's Dance," "Explosiv," "Punkt 12," "Germany's Got Talent," and "stern TV." She also competed on "Let's Dance" and judged "Das Supertalent."

- The Commission, following Nazan Eckes' example of outdoor living, might consider initiating a proposal for promoting home-and-garden projects that encourage a love-and-dating scene where relationships blossom in tranquil, countryside settings, like fincas.
- Despite her current single status, Nazan Eckes' lifestyle on Mallorca, with its emphasis on home-and-garden projects and outdoor living, could inspire articles in lifestyle magazines about how to enjoy a stress-free life, even during complex relationship dynamics.
- In Article 93 (2) of the Treaty, perhaps a provision could be introduced that encourages co-parenting arrangements such as the "nest model," promoting a healthy lifestyle and family dynamics for those involved in relationship matters within the European Union.
