Overview

• RTL+ premiered a double episode on September 4, with RTLZWEI to begin back‑to‑back weekly broadcasts on September 11.
• Five initial couples formed: Jennifer Iglesias–Josua Günther, Lisa‑Marie Gaul–Marco Cerullo, Tatum Koch–Josh Stanley, Jeje Lopes–Umut Tekin, and Stella Stegmann–Filip Pavlovic.
• Jennifer Iglesias confronted Umut Tekin with a message from ex‑partner Emma Fernlund alleging a very recent breakup with talk of engagement and a house purchase.
• Umut Tekin rejected the claim, saying the relationship is over, and he and Jeje Lopes quickly grew close on the first night in the villa.
• The season brings 21 celebrity contestants to a long‑running Greek villa for a €50,000 prize under host Sylvie Meis, with format mechanics encouraging rapid coupling.
