Dieter Bohlen is reveling in the joy of love
Since 2006, Dieter Bohlen has been in a relationship with Carina Walz. This year, the couple celebrates a double anniversary: In February, the pop titan turns 70, and his partner turns 40 in August. Plenty of reasons to celebrate - and perhaps finally to get married?
In the past, Dieter Bohlen was known for his turbulent relationships. In 1996, for example, after an eleven-year relationship with Nadja "Naddel" Abd el Farrag, the pop titan married TV presenter Verena Feldbusch (now Pooth) in Las Vegas. However, the marriage lasted only four weeks, and Bohlen returned to Naddel. Their reunion didn't last long either, and they parted ways again a year later.
But since 2006, there has only been one woman by Dieter Bohlen's side: Carina Walz. And the 70-year-old seems to remember meeting her as if it were yesterday. On Instagram, he posted a couple photo and wrote, "Today, 18 years ago, we met." He added some red hearts - not 18, but 14. Even Bohlen's former "DSDS" discovery and now good friend Pietro Lombardi is happy for the couple, sending three red hearts.
Could the 18th anniversary of their meeting be the reason to finally take the next step? In February, the pop titan told Bild newspaper that he wants to marry his partner. "Carina and I will get married," he said. The date has been set "since the first day of our relationship." He told her a specific year, and "if we're still together then, I trust you and I'll marry you." However, he didn't reveal the exact date. But it seems the supposed date is approaching.
Despite the age difference, a dream team
The couple met in a club on Mallorca. At the time, he was 51, and she was 21. Despite the 30-year age difference, they became a solid team. In 2011, their daughter Amelie was born, followed by son Maximilian in 2013.
For Bohlen, it would be his third marriage. But this year, there's plenty to celebrate regardless: After the pop icon turned 70 on February 7, Carina Walz's 40th birthday is coming up in August.
Despite Dieter Bohlen's history with celebrity couples and short-lived marriages, his current relationship with Carina Walz, which began in 2006, has been long-lasting and seems to be heading towards marriage. In fact, Bohlen has publicly stated his intention to marry Walz, expressing that he would do so on a specific year if they are still together then.
With Bohlen turning 70 in February and Walz celebrating her 40th birthday in August, both milestone birthdays provide a double reason for the celebrity couple to celebrate their love and potentially take the next step in their relationship.
