Overview

• Kaulitz told RTL on August 22 that he and reality personality Jannik Kontalis are “getting to know each other,” after images from Berlin’s Bricks club showed the pair in close contact.
• On his Kaulitz Hills podcast, he amplified the buzz with a tongue‑in‑cheek line about becoming Mönchengladbach’s First Lady, referencing Kontalis’ bid for mayor.
• Ex‑partner Yeliz Koc publicly claimed Kontalis is attracted to men and cited that as a breakup reason, which Kontalis rejected as defamatory, and she later denied accusations that their public dispute was staged.
• Some reality‑TV peers questioned whether the encounter or its fallout was orchestrated, while another former castmate speculated about Kontalis’ interest in men, claims that remain unverified.
• Kaulitz defended Kontalis’ character, saying critics do not know him beyond television, and Kontalis has offered little further comment beyond pushing back on the allegations.
