Samuel Koch and Sarah are eager to start a family immediately

Actress Sarah Elena Timpe and Former Gymnast Samuel Koch Open Up About Their Desire for a Child

In a heartfelt moment at the B.Z. Culture Prize ceremony in Berlin, actress Sarah Elena Timpe spoke about her and her husband, former artistic gymnast Samuel Koch's long-held desire for a child.

Timpe and Koch, who have been married for nine years, have been open about their wish to start a family. Since their union, they have frequently appeared together in public, radiating mutual affection and authenticity.

"Having a child is a beautiful gift, a miracle," Timpe shared with RTL during the ceremony. She added that the process of having a child is not something that can be easily obtained.

Koch, who gained nationwide attention in 2010 due to a severe accident during the ZDF show "Wetten, dass..?", has also spoken about their desire for a child. In an interview two years ago, he confirmed that his sexual organs are functioning, and in a recent interview, he expressed the need to find time for attempting to have a child.

Koch, who suffered several neck fractures in the accident, leaving him paralyzed from the neck down and confined to a wheelchair, stated that the vegetative nervous system controlling his sexual organs is separate from his central nervous system and still functions.

The couple's openness about their desire for a child shows their courage and determination. However, the article does not provide any information about any medical issues or challenges that may be preventing Timpe and Koch from having a child.

Timpe compared the process of having a child to shopping at a supermarket, implying that it's not something that can be easily bought. The couple's wish for a child remains a sensitive topic for them.

Recently, it has been reported that the couple is discussing the possibility of creating a family connection with Verena Wriedt. The article does not provide any information about any prior attempts by Timpe and Koch to have a child.

Timpe and Koch met in 2014 during filming for the ARD series "Sturm der Liebe." They got engaged a year later and married in Baden-Württemberg in 2016. The couple's journey to start a family continues, and they remain hopeful and resilient in their pursuit.
