Susie and Toto tied the knot in 2011 and have a child together. Toto’s son – Jack Wolff was born on April 10, 2017. Toto revealed that his first date with Susie was in Hockenheim at the Achat hotel.
Wolff also has two other children from a previous marriage. Wolff was previously married to Stephani and the marriage lasted 10 years before the pair called it quits. However, Wolff maintains that he shares a healthy relationship with his ex-wife and children.
“I am in the very lucky situation that we are a true ‘patchwork family’. Susie is the centre of pulling that all together – and my former wife Stephanie. Both put the wellbeing of the kids above their own. I’ve been together with Susie now for eight years and my kids have always been a very important part of that relationship. And Stephanie, the mum of my kids, handled it in the same way. Now we spend Christmas and holidays together. And as tough as a divorce is, we all grew.” Said Wolff in an interview with F1.
