Micaela Schäfer confirms new relationship at RTL summer party in Berlin

Her partner, whose name is not mentioned in the report, works in a completely different industry than the entertainment sector, according to Schäfer. He initially had no idea who she was when they matched on the app. "Der hat erst mal einen Schock bekommen, als er mich gegoogelt hat!" Schäfer reported, laughing.

A partner outside the public eye

At the party in Berlin, the new partner initially stayed on the sidelines and waited at the bar before, at Schäfer's request, stepping in front of the RTL cameras for a brief statement. In the short appearance, he said: "Es fühlt sich wunderbar an, weil ich ja neben Micaela stehe."

Schäfer emphasized that she appreciates that her partner has his own life and does not push himself into the foreground. He barely appears in public and does not seek the attention of cameras. She took the fact that he made an exception for the party as a gesture of support.

Confused with Robert Habeck

Schäfer said she had to repeatedly clarify over the course of the evening that she is not in a relationship with Robert Habeck. "Nein, ich bin nicht mit Robert Habeck zusammen!" she said. She and her partner laughed about the fact that people repeatedly confuse him with other people because of his appearance.

The RTL summer party "Aussichtsreich" is an annual format of the network at which celebrities from film, television and society come together in Berlin. This year, the event also served as the stage for Schäfer's first official love confession.

RTL summer party as the stage for the premiere

With the confirmation of her relationship, Schäfer responded to weeks of speculation in tabloid media and social networks. She explained her decision to present her partner to the public only after eight months together by citing his wish for privacy and her respect for that stance.

It became clear in the conversation that Schäfer views the relationship as a deliberate change of pace from her public life. While she herself regularly appears in formats and events, her partner deliberately keeps a low profile, which she finds refreshing.

Overall, the 41-year-old appeared relaxed and in good spirits during the appearance. The mix of laughter, clear words and her partner's brief appearance attracted attention on the red carpet, without Schäfer losing sight of the normality of the evening.

The couple came across as deliberately harmonious on the carpet. Both emphasized that they enjoy their time together and place no value on media staging. Schäfer spoke of a "ganz normales Liebespaar mit allem, was dazugehört."
