Claudia’s new man

Claudia and Michael started dating last year, a few months after her ex-husband, Orin Roesstorff, reportedly married another woman following their divorce battle.

She first went public about her relationship with Michael in June last year, posting him on her Instagram page with a caption that reads: “Everyone said you didn’t exist, I was living in a dream world… I waited for you, I dreamt about you, and you exist @michaelhoffman78, my infinity… always and forever.”

In an interview with YOU magazine early last year, Claudia opened up about her relationship with Michael, sharing that they met through her cousin.

“My cousin has known Michael since school days. They were all at a hangout, and she found out he was single. And she told him I was single. Then she called and asked if I wanted to have coffee with him,” she told the publication.

She said their relationship kicked off beautifully, and her children were also happy for her.

“We reached a place in our relationship that would normally take four years to get to, but we’ve got to this level in two months. We’re fixing the house right now. My kids are so happy because mommy is very happy.
