Antonia Hemmer, 24, embarks on a new dating journey on ‘Celebrity First Dates,’ meeting Justin, 27, who is unaware of her celebrity status. After a tumultuous past with relationships, including a betrayal from her ex-boyfriend, she finds hope in Justin’s aspirations for family. Their chemistry is evident, and discussions about a future together, including marriage, arise. Both have connected on Instagram, paving the way for a follow-up meeting away from the cameras.
Antonia Hemmer’s New Chapter in the Dating Scene
It’s hard to fathom, but the gentleman seated across from Antonia Hemmer, 24, is oblivious to the identity of his dining companion. This scenario unfolds in the unique setting of ‘Celebrity First Dates,’ where the concept revolves around a metaphorical ‘blind tasting.’ Host Roland Trettl, 53, welcomes famous singles into his restaurant, where they encounter unfamiliar faces. This time, Antonia, a former contestant from ‘Farmer Wants a Wife,’ meets Justin, 27, a managing director of a marketing agency who has ventured into the podcast world.
Antonia’s Quest for True Love
This marks an exhilarating moment for Antonia as she bravely steps back into the TV dating arena. Previously, she was in a two-year relationship with farmer Patrick Romer, 29, after they connected on the popular show hosted by Inka Bause, 56. They had dreams of a lifelong partnership. However, their shared experience in the ‘Summer House of the Stars’ exposed troubling dynamics in their relationship, which took a toll on Antonia. Their romance ended shortly after the show aired. Was it the notorious curse of reality TV? Perhaps not, as Antonia hinted in a conversation with RTL, revealing, ‘Something much, much worse happened afterward.’ Reportedly, she discovered Patrick in bed with another woman during a trip to Mallorca in the fall of 2022, marking the end of their relationship.
In her next dating endeavor on camera, Antonia faced disappointment yet again. During ‘Make Love, Fake Love,’ she fell for a ‘bad boy’ named Xander Stephinger, 26, who initially swept her off her feet. However, just before the final decision, he dropped a bombshell: he was already in a relationship. This revelation led to her emotional outburst: ‘How can you play with my feelings like that? You toyed with the hearts of two women while even swearing on your mother.’ After a night of reflection, Antonia grappled with her emotions, expressing, ‘I want to completely switch off my head, and I just follow my heart.’ Despite the tumultuous situation, she traveled to Crete with the heartbreaker, but their connection fizzled out during the televised reunion.
Now, Antonia reflects, ‘I have let myself be fooled long enough and have played the fool for long enough. Now it’s my turn.’ It might be serendipitous that her ‘Celebrity First Date’ features the unsuspecting Justin, who is curious about her life. ‘I am self-employed in the social media field. I also do a bit of television,’ Antonia shares playfully. Justin quickly catches on: ‘Are we already heading in the trash direction?’ His wit and honesty suggest he genuinely doesn’t know who she is.
Could this be an advantage? Perhaps. Antonia is already smitten: ‘Justin looks great; he has a good height, a nice physique, and an attractive face.’ However, it’s his personality that truly captivates her. He has clear aspirations, stating his five-year goal is to ‘find the right partner and maybe have two little bunnies,’ which means he envisions starting a family. For Antonia, who dreams of motherhood, this is a significant plus. ‘That’s why I can definitely imagine a second meeting,’ she expresses excitedly.
So, what’s next for Antonia and Justin? She has already taken the plunge, even mentioning marriage during their date. Did that scare him off? Not at all. ‘She is a very pleasant person. I wouldn’t say there was anything I didn’t like,’ Justin reassures. The initial steps toward a potential reunion have been made, with both reaching out to each other on Instagram. A follow-up meeting is in the works—this time, sans cameras.
