Beautician with her own studio in Berlin
Kirsten Viebrock is a beautician. In Berlin-Prenzlauer Berg, she founded the studio “Beauty Isn’t Make Up Cosmetic + Treatment” at Lychener Straße 20. The official German telephone directory, Das Örtliche , lists the address under her name. Her LinkedIn profile identifies her as the owner.
The name can be translated as: Beauty is not makeup. The studio’s services included:
- Individually customizable treatments according to the wishes of the clients
- Mimo training : Exercises with which clients learned to consciously control and purposefully use their facial expressions.
- Oxygen treatments : Oxygen therapies as a therapeutic focus of the studio.
The website beautyisntmakeup.com now lists a different name in its legal notice: Esther Weigenand . When this change occurred and under what circumstances is not publicly known. The address on Lychener Straße and the studio’s telephone number remain unchanged.
Mallorca 2009: The first meeting with Uwe Ochsenknecht
Uwe Ochsenknecht separated from his first wife, Natascha Ochsenknecht, in 2009 and went to Mallorca. There he met Kirsten Viebrock. He described the beginning of their relationship to Gala magazine as follows:
“At our first meeting, we realized that we felt comfortable when we were together, and then we saw each other more and more often. At some point, we asked ourselves: Are we actually together now?”
She continued to run her studio in Berlin during this time. The studio was still operating in July 2017, the month of her wedding. The couple were first photographed together in public in May 2016 at the German Actors’ Awards in Berlin, as documented by press photos from Getty Images. An engagement was never announced. Eight years after their first meeting in Mallorca, the two married.
The wedding took place on July 7, 2017.
Uwe Ochsenknecht and Kiki Viebrock married on Mallorca on July 7, 2017, in a small, private ceremony. No magazine was present, and no wedding report was published. The public only learned of it afterward.
Shortly afterwards, Kirsten Viebrock posted a photo on Facebook: an old VW bus, her husband and his four children, Jimi Blue, Wilson Gonzalez, Cheyenne and Rocco Stark. The caption read:
“I’m marrying into a family. Thank you for all your congratulations.”
It is the only public statement known from her. Speaking to Gala magazine , Uwe Ochsenknecht said of his wife: “I can’t imagine a better woman than Kiki. I love her more than anything.”
The Ochsenknecht family
With her marriage in 2017, Kirsten Viebrock became part of a blended family that is well-known in the German public sphere. Uwe Ochsenknecht has four children from previous relationships.
- Rocco Stark : from a previous relationship with the artist Rosana della Porta
- Wilson Gonzalez (born 1990) and Jimi Blue (born 1991): from his first marriage to Natascha Ochsenknecht
- Cheyenne Savannah (born 2000): also from his marriage to Natascha Ochsenknecht
Wilson Gonzalez and Jimi Blue are actors. Cheyenne Savannah is a model and influencer. The couple has no children together. Uwe Ochsenknecht is now a grandfather of five.
Speaking to Bunte magazine about his relationship with his children, he said: “Of course, there is a family bond. That cannot be broken, even if there are disagreements. The foundation remains.”
Between Berlin and Mallorca: Life today
Kirsten Viebrock and Uwe Ochsenknecht divide their time between Berlin and Mallorca. This was confirmed by several media reports on the occasion of Uwe’s 70th birthday in January 2026. Since 2018, Ochsenknecht has been a co-owner of the music bar Sa Cova in Santanyí, Mallorca, known for its concerts and DJ nights.

When asked about their time together, Uwe Ochsenknecht told Bunte magazine in the fall of 2024 : “Do you know what’s so wonderful about love in old age? You simply understand some things better through your life experience. It’s more relaxed and less stressful. Time becomes more precious, you set priorities.”
Kiki Viebrock in private: No Instagram, no interview
Her studio was called “Beauty Isn’t Make Up.” She founded it before anyone knew who she was and continued running it while her relationship with one of Germany’s most famous actors blossomed. Today, the studio website bears a different name.
Kirsten Viebrock is not publicly active on Instagram, Facebook, or other social networks. The only known exception was the Facebook post after her wedding in 2017, which she subsequently did not comment on.
What remains of her public image: press photos from red carpets, her husband’s statements in magazine interviews, and a single sentence on Facebook. She has never commented on whether this was intentional. But everything points to it.
