In 2004 Ferfried acknowledged his relationship with Tatjana Gsell (born 21 May 1971) publicly.

From 8 May 2006 they broadcast a docu-soap called "Tatjana & Foffi – Aschenputtel wird Prinzessin" ("Tatjana & Foffi – Cinderella becomes a princess") in which the couple prepared for their planned wedding, but at this time Ferfried was still legally married to his third wife. According to reports from the Bild-Zeitung
, the mid-2006 wedding stemmed from problems with Ferfried's divorce. In the last episode of the docu-soap, the couple separated; the planned wedding did not take place. In November 2006, each announced their permanent separation.
