Wulf's mother was German and her father was an African-American soldier in the US Armed Forces. She grew up in foster care and was later adopted by a permanent family, and as a result has no connection to her American family and did not grow up speaking English. However, she did learn to speak English and used it when she was in her professional career with the Silver Convention as shown in her appearances with the Silver Convention during interviews or co hosting after their performances and as well as in a 2018 English radio interview. <ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7zgT0nkzLnI</ref> <ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4nUhj_gA04Y</ref> <ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=24SScEysG6k</ref>
