A lot has changed for “Tatort” star Vladimir Burlakov since his coming out. Now he is thinking about marriage.
This is what happiness looks like: relaxed, casual grooving Vladimir Burlakov, 36, on the dance floor at GALA’s Berlin Opening Night. You can tell from the “Tatort” star that everything is just right at the moment.
Vladimir Burlakov enjoys his love
The Russian-born man, who came to Germany with his family in 1996, came out two years ago. He previously kept his homosexuality secret. But now he is openly enjoying his happiness with his partner Martin, 27. “Today I can speak freely about my friend,” he enthuses to GALA. He didn’t hear a single negative comment.
Now there’s even a wedding in sight
A relationship with a future: “I’m not an easy character and I’m quite temperamental, but Martin knows how to deal with it,” says Burlakov. “He is the calming point in our relationship.” It’s obvious to take the next step: “Martin is the man of my life. So at some point we’ll get married,” Burlakov is sure.
The wedding dance won’t fail: “I love dancing, that’s my thing. I share this passion with my partner.” And then he follows up with a smile: “He’s nine years younger, but I can still keep up very well.”
