Overview
- Schumacher told Bild she is dating Steven Bo Bekendam, describing herself as extremely happy and noting that he is not a public figure.
- The confirmation follows an Instagram post showing the pair together in Wichita Falls, Texas, accompanied by a romantic caption and mutual tagging of their accounts.
- Fans largely welcomed the news, though some questioned the image’s authenticity in light of AI trends, to which Schumacher replied “LMAO” to a commenter, according to Stern.
- Several outlets noted an unverified third-party listing alleging a 2025 arrest for Bekendam in Texas, with no confirmed legal outcome or corroborating details.
- The relationship becomes public after Schumacher’s reduced social-media presence and therapeutic help in late 2024, and the couple now faces a transatlantic distance between the U.S. and Germany.
