According to German news agency dpa and other foreign media on December 7 (local time), Chairman Wolfgang Porsche recently held a private wedding ceremony with Gabriela Thurn und Taxis in Salzburg, Austria. Porsche stated, "We ask for your understanding in respecting the couple's privacy and refraining from further inquiries," expressing a cautious stance.

Chairman Porsche has gone through three marriages and divorces since his first marriage in 1970. This latest marriage comes two years after his divorce from his third wife, Claudia, in 2023.

His fourth wife, Thurn und Taxis, is from the former aristocratic Thyssen family, which is the origin of ThyssenKrupp, currently Germany's largest steel company.

Wolfgang Porsche is the grandson of Ferdinand Porsche (1875-1951), founder of Porsche, and has served as Chairman of the Supervisory Board since 2007. The Porsche family, together with the Pi?ch family, who are related by marriage, controls Volkswagen Group-Germany's largest automobile company-through Porsche SE, exerting significant influence over the global automotive industry.
