Many years following the end of his sporting career, Markus Rühl has become an absolute cult figure in German bodybuilding and is celebrated on social media even outside the fitness bubble. In contrast to this is his second wife Alicja Krafczyk, who deliberately does not move far from her famous husband’s shadow. Nevertheless, she seemingly casually gained her own popularity.
Das ist Alicja Krafczyk
Little is known regarding Rühl’s partner Alicja Rühl, née Alicja Krafczyk. According to her Instagram profile, she was born on September 24, 1992. She is now 31 years old and therefore a good 20 years younger than her famous husband.

What is certain is that Alicja is of Polish descent. Her education and professional career are also not discussed publicly. In some sources she is presented as a fitness model. It can be assumed that today, as a housewife and mother, she supports her famous husband and also maintains her social media presence.
The successor to Simone Rühl
Alicja Krafczyk is following in big footsteps: Markus Rühl’s first marriage was to bodybuilder Simone Rühl, who appeared in many of his cult videos and thus became famous in her own right.
After their separation, Markus and Simone remained close. He still calls her his best friend, which wasn’t always easy for the new relationship. In an interview with YouTuber Leeroy Matata, Rühl admitted that Alicja initially had difficulties with the close relationship between the divorcees. Simone is also married once more today for the second time.
Met at the gym
The beginnings of their relationship took place following Markus Rühl’s career, during which he withdrew from the public for a few years. Alicja was a member of the fitness studio that Rühl owned at the time. According to him, the two became a couple around 2014.

At the beginning, the relationship between the “German Beast” and the petite blonde was often laughed at, also because of the large age difference between the two. Despite all the comments, the couple got engaged in 2015.
Their daughter
On August 9, 2016, Alicja Krafczyk gave birth to their daughter Lucy. Although Markus Rühl originally didn’t want to have children, he was extremely happy regarding having offspring. The now seven-year-old is regularly included in Rühl’s social media appearances. Lucy remained the only offspring of Alicja and Markus and the former IFBB pro emphasized several times that his daughter was the most important person in his life.
This is how Markus Rühl would react if his daughter were vegan
Markus Rühl has a special relationship with the topic of meat consumption and veganism. As a public figure, the former professional bodybuilder knows how to deliberately exaggerate his position. Coupled with his humor and his appearance, this made him known far beyond the boundaries of bodybuilding. In the 1Live shower of questions, Markus Rühl answered, among other things, how he would react if […]
A year following the birth of their daughter, Alicja and Markus married on August 31, 2017. The celebration took place with family at the Hotel Jagdschloss Kranichstein in Rühl’s hometown of Darmstadt.

Alicja appears in Rühl’s Instagram feed and occasionally in videos on his YouTube channel. She presents herself more reservedly on social media. Her Instagram profile @alicjaruehl can only be followed upon request. After all, over 100,000 followers have already made the effort and are rewarded with an active feed, which, however, reveals little regarding the Polish woman.

Despite motherhood, Alicja Rühl is in great shape. Their shadowy existence should under no circumstances be interpreted as a sign of an outdated understanding of roles. After all, the spotlight isn’t for everyone. Alicja brings a pleasant calm to the family content of her sometimes brash and polarizing husband. The fact that there is always a hint of mystery surrounding her only makes Alicja Rühl all the more interesting.
