Overview
- Iris Katzenberger, 59, has made her relationship with 31-year-old Kevin T. publicly visible through joint appearances and affectionate Instagram posts.
- Kevin’s ex, Jessica B., told BILD she was in a relationship with Kevin from January 2025 through an early October 2026 trip to Turkey and says she has WhatsApp messages, photos and videos to support that timeline.
- Iris and a longtime friend of Kevin dispute Jessica’s account, saying Kevin was single by May 2026 and that Iris and Kevin began their relationship afterward, and Kevin has defended the pair on Instagram.
- Prominent entertainment outlets reported the competing claims this week after the couple were seen together in mid-October at a Frankfurt event, but no independent verification of the alleged messages or photos has been published.
- The dispute has stayed public because Iris’s management declined to comment, the pair continue to post about their relationship, and the controversy highlights how large age gaps and tabloid reporting shape personal lives and public perception.
