The pair tied the knot in 2011, despite a more than 50-year age gap.
Not much is known about the pair’s relationship, but they reportedly met in 2004, according to The Guardian.
Outside of being known as Glock’s wife, Kathrin is known for her career as a CEO.

At this time, additional information on Kathrin’s personal life is unclear because she often stays out of the spotlight.
