Finale of RTL dating show "Die Bachelors": One couple stays together, a second falls apart

In conversation with Frauke Ludowig, Sebastian said he and Nadja were seeing each other again in Germany for the first time: "Wir sehen uns gerade das erste Mal in Deutschland wieder." Nadja explained at the same time that she is now happy and in a new relationship.

Tim and Vivi: From the finale into everyday life

Tim Reitz had told Vivi during the final rose ceremony that he had fallen in love with her. Both announced at the reunion that they wanted to take the next step and move in together in Cologne, Tim's hometown. The relationship had survived more than six months of long distance. Tim also found positive words for his co-bachelor: he and Sebastian had gotten to know and like each other during filming, and he had gained a friend through the show.

A special feature of this year's season: neither the candidates nor the two Bachelors knew for certain before filming began that two men would be handing out roses that season. The show has carried the name "Die Bachelors" since 2024; before that, it was called "Der Bachelor."

Background: Two Bachelors since 2024

In another first, Sebastian had already decided in episode 8 to continue getting to know Nadja from Stuttgart exclusively — a step that had not previously occurred in this form on the show. In the final episode, both Bachelors not only asked their finalists whether they would accept the final rose, but also whether they wanted to enter into a real relationship. Both Vivi and Nadja answered "Ja" at the time.

According to the dpa news channel, the episode was filmed in advance and forms the conclusion of the current season. RTL described the season finale as a show that had "mehr als eine Überraschung" in store.

According to those involved, no further details will be released for the time being about how the freshly set up household in Cologne is developing, nor about Sebastian's reaction to Nadja's new relationship.
