However, his addiction to cups, plates and Co. made of white gold annoys his husband Dean, 49, to whom he has been married since 2018.
“Dean has no understanding for my desire to collect. He gets more and more seizures because he thinks we litter,” says Fredi to “Bild”. And further: “I love porcelain so much that I fear it could be morbid, so Dean wants to send me to a psychologist.” Even as a child, the hit star was fascinated by porcelain. But now he wants to try to get rid of the porcelain addiction.
