Overview
- Michelle, 54, and musician Eric Philippi, 29, announced their separation in May 2026 and the relationship lasted almost exactly three years.
- Over Thursday and Friday, German outlets reported that both have removed nearly all joint photos and videos from their Instagram accounts, including footage of Philippi's on-stage marriage proposal.
- Michelle posted a tearful Instagram live saying she has been through “all hells” since the breakup and that she will concentrate on self-healing after the emotional fallout.
- Neither artist has publicly explained the precise reasons for the split, and outlets treating the deletions say the move is commonly read as a signal that reconciliation is unlikely.
- Promipool reports that Michelle has ended her performing career and made a final TV appearance, but that claim is currently reported by a single outlet and lacks wide corroboration.
