It is one of Amira Pocher’s rare TV appearances: On the evening of March 8, 2024, she was a guest at “Kölner Treff” – and opened up unusually openly about the last few months in a conversation with presenter Susan Link.
Amira Pocher: Marriage to Olli was a “very hard time”
On August 31, 2023, Amira and Oliver Pocher announced their separation. This happened in their joint podcast, which they then ran together for a few episodes – until that apparently no longer worked. The comedian now discusses his point of view with ex-wife Alessandra Meyer-Wölden, 40, and Amira, for her part, talks to Hima once a week. She shows little of the stress that the separation caused for the presenter. At the “Kölner Treff” Amira revealed her separation with brutal honesty: “It was hard. I really have to say it. It was a very, very hard time.”

Olli himself never tired of emphasizing that he would have liked to continue the marriage. At times he accused Amira and Biyon Kattilathu, 39, of having an affair with each other. The entertainer also talked a lot about the smooching photos of Amira and Christian Düren, 33, that appeared in January 2024. A behavior that still meets with sympathy from Olli’s fans – and visibly grated on Amira’s nerves. She explains: “If you don’t say anything about it, if you would like to keep things private that should actually be private – and if people perhaps find out a lot from one side – […] Then of course they form an opinion based on these stories without even considering the fact that it might not have all happened that way.”
“I would never say anything bad about the father of my children”
Looking back, Amira is now happy with the way she handled the separation. “I’m proud of myself, I really have to say, […] because first and foremost I was simply thinking about my children. And that’s the most important thing for me.” In her eyes, the intimate details surrounding her marriage to Oliver Pocher “have no place in the public.” She distinguishes between topics that could be discussed publicly – and “things that last one privately. Especially if you have children who might read things like that later on – especially in these times, with social media and so on. And I can just say with pride: I would never say anything bad about the father of my children. And yes. Done.” Her last words are almost lost in the audience’s applause.
You can’t always get the attention you need, it’s ‘part of the deal’. But what you don’t have to deal with is this public exploitation of interpersonal relationships, which I would like to have clarified privately
Susan Link wants to know from Amira: “Have you wished you could be invisible for a while?” A question that the 31-year-old can answer clearly. “I really don’t want to complain. I have a great life. Of course I also live off this attention. And you can’t always get it the way you need it, it’s ‘part of the deal’. And you have to “We’ll be fine,” she makes it clear. And continues: “But what you don’t have to deal with is this public exploitation of interpersonal relationships, which I would have liked to have clarified privately. And that’s what people confuse very, very quickly.”
