Overview
- Thomalla told Bunte on Wednesday that she would rather risk being disappointed again than stop believing in love, saying past betrayals "shook" her but did not make her hard.
- She made her relationship with Berlin builder René Marchand public in February 2025 and says he gives her “incredibly much” support, lets her be herself, and provides everyday stability.
- Thomalla revisited a traumatic episode from December 2024 when she ended a short relationship with a man later reported to have taken money from several women and who died by suicide, and she described being deeply affected by the experience.
- She stresses a reconciled view of former partners, praising Andre Vetters for giving her daughter Sophia and noting long-standing friendships such as with Sven Martinek rather than bitterness.
- Professionally she remains prominent, reaching millions with ZDF's 'Frühling', and she says the lessons of recent years taught her to value quiet, self-directed happiness and clear personal boundaries.
