Crystal heiress Victoria Swarovski has split with her husband after falling for billionaire Red Bull tycoon Mark Mateschitz, it has emerged.

Talk of the romance spiked after the 29-year-old Victoria announced her separation from her property developer husband of six years Werner Muerz, 46.

The heiress to the multi-billion dollar crystal jewellery giant Swarovski apparently hit it off with Mateschitz, 30, after a date in January.

Austrian media report that the pair were seen at the Hahnenkamm Races together at Kitzbuehel ski resort.

The two reportedly hit it off, and have been very close ever since.

However, neither of them have confirmed or denied talk of a romance.

Victoria gained fame after she won the ninth season of the RTL dance show Let’s Dance in 2016.

But she and Muerz announced last week through their lawyers that they would be separating.

They said: “Victoria Swarovski and Werner Muerz have separated on friendly terms. We are asked to respect privacy and to refrain from further inquiries.”

Mateschitz – Europe’s newest multi-billionaire – is said to be one of the Continent’s most eligible bachelors.

He inherited nearly half of the Red Bull business following his 78-year-old father Dietrich ‘Didi’ Mateschitz’s death in October 2022.

Overnight his personal fortune soared to USD 15.7 billion (GBP 13 billion).

He studied business administration at the Salzburg University of Applied Sciences, and is considered to be down-to-earth, friendly and reserved.
