“Wedding at First Sight”: Emily’s baby is with her ex
On “Wedding at First Sight” in 2020, Emily said “yes” to Robert. But the marriage made on TV failed before the finale. Just a year later, the 28-year-old presented a new love at her side. But now it turns out: it’s not that brand new. The pregnant reality TV candidate is now expecting a child with her partner. She could have experienced this even earlier, because her current heart man was at her side earlier.
“Max and I have known each other for a long time. We were a couple in 2009 and he was my first boyfriend, my childhood sweetheart,” Emily now reveals in her Instagram story. However, the relationship only lasted three years – and she called it quits. “Max always says now because I had my own nonsense in my head and wanted to let off steam.” After the end of love, there was radio silence for years. Only chance led to unplanned meetings. “We finally got back together again in 2021,” says the soon-to-be mom happily, and asserts: “I can’t imagine a better man by my side.”

That’s why it wasn’t easy for her to play “the traitor” for so long.
She is particularly grateful to her fans, who have supported her in every challenge for over twelve years. “The last year was very turbulent and had some challenges for me. That’s why I saw this exciting format as an opportunity to show my personal side – in addition to the music,” the 30-year-old continues.

Regarding the question of how often they use contraception per week, the mother of two writes: “Having a sex life with two small children is actually not always easy. I think I can speak from the hearts of every couple of parents. There are sometimes very active ones Phases and then also quiet moments.”
Melissa also says that a follower has already asked how she and her new boyfriend handle contraception. The 30-year-old then reveals that after much consideration, she decided last year to have the hormonal coil inserted and that this was the best method of protection for her.

Florian Silbereisen has to listen to criticism for “Schlagerbooom”.
On Saturday evening, Florian Silbereisen, 42, gathered the elite of the hit industry on stage. Howard Carpendale, Ross Antony and Andrea Berg also appeared alongside Michelle. While many fans celebrated their idols’ performances on social media, others also expressed harsh criticism. Some artists were not able to convince, especially with regard to the choice of music and the quality of the singing.

This is how the appearance came from DJ Ötzi is not particularly well received. He performed “Du (What I want, you are)”, a cover of the Umberto Tozzi hit “Tu”. “Voice weak” or “horribly sung” was the merciless verdict of TV viewers.
Lucas Cordalis performed “When the Rain Begins to Fall” with Joelina Drews, a cover of “When the Rain Begins to Fall” by Jermaine Jackson and Pia Zadora. Not everyone liked this performance either. “Does no one actually compose their own songs anymore? There are only covers with German lyrics,” a user asked provocatively after the show on X, formerly Twitter.
And there were even more cover hits on stage: Ross Antony interpreted Jürgen Marcus’ song “A new love is like a new life”, Anna-Maria Zimmermann performed an old song by Nicole – the audience’s verdict: “Dem German hits can’t come up with anything anymore!”
Roland Kaiser throws his fans off their feet
Roland Kaiser, 71, caused confusion among many fans on Saturday evening. Because unlike usual, the artist does not appear as the last act on stage according to the motto “The best comes last”, but much earlier than expected. At 9:45 p.m. the fans are amazed. “Kaiser not as the last act?” writes one user on Twitter. Another comment reads: “What? The emperor now? I’m not ready yet.”
But the change doesn’t dampen the mood: Kaiser inspires the audience with his song “Come with me.” One user emphasizes that “all other stars pale in comparison to Roland.” And a little bit of variety in the program is definitely a good thing.
