Jasna Fritzi Bauer and Katharina Zorn: A pair of writers make waves with their latest publication. - Actress and artist form a romantic partnership.
Actress Jasna Fritzi Bauer (35) has always kept her personal life under wraps, but she's now finally opened up about her long-lasting relationship with artist Katharina Zorn. She revealed their five-year secret partnership in a recent interview with the German edition of Vogue magazine. According to Jasna, they decided to go public to make progress and send a message. Additionally, they cited the recent shift towards conservatism in society and the increasingly heated atmosphere as motivating factors.
The two live together with Zorn's daughter Zoe in Berlin, and Jasna hinted that their relationship might be seen as quite normal by some, but not to others. "We're not particularly interested in being seen as role models, but it's possible that's our role now," she said.
They first met each other at a mutual friend's house in Frankfurt, and Zorn found Jasna attractive from the start. "I had no idea who Jasna was; I'd never seen her on TV or in the theater. I just thought she was cute. We spent the day together with Zoe, who was still a baby at the time," she recalled.
Jasna also used this opportunity to confirm her bisexuality. "I'm going to be honest: I'm bisexual. That's it. People want to label me, but I won't let them." She's dated both men and women, but primarily finds women more intriguing.
Katharina Zorn later described her gender identity as non-binary and genderfluid. "I used to identify more with being a boy, which I thought was cooler. But I also liked my female side a lot - until I learned that the term 'genderfluid' exists. It describes how I feel sometimes like a man, other times like a woman, and sometimes like dressing like one or the other. I'm no longer 'the lesbian with a child'."
When they started dating in 2019, keeping their relationship secret was a challenge for Zorn. "There were always events with Jasna, and I'd tag along, but I'd come in through the back door and leave without meeting anyone. This led to many arguments because the whole situation was bizarre."
Actress Jasna Fritzi Bauer announced her bisexuality during this interview. "I'm saying it - I'm bisexual. End of story. People want to categorize me, but I don't want to be pigeonholed." She's had relationships with both men and women in the past; however, she tends to find women more fascinating, especially during the initial stages of getting to know them.
Katharina Zorn shared her experience with her gender identity, saying, "I used to want to be more of a boy, but I also loved the female side of me. I didn't fully understand it until I learned about the term 'genderfluid.' I can sometimes feel more like a man, other times more like a woman, and sometimes both. I'm not just a woman with a child. I'm genderfluid." This term helped her understand her own feelings better.
Initially, Zorn found it difficult to publicly display her love for Jasna. "When we first started dating in 2019, Jasna was super busy, and I'd accompany her to events. I'd come in through the back door so no one noticed me, then leave without saying anything to anyone. All these circumstances caused some disagreements," she explained.
