Overview
- The December 23 reunion showed seven of 13 contestants in relationships, but two of those pairings ended within a week.
- Farmer Thomas, 39, and Michaela, 35, split after roughly three months, with Michaela informing him by WhatsApp video that her feelings had not grown and pointing to harsh social-media reactions.
- Michaela says on social media she is seeing a new partner who first contacted her on Facebook and works for a towing service, and she plans to step back from publicity.
- Cattle farmer Johann, 60, and Katja, 55, also separated, with Johann saying they had fundamentally different views of a partnership while Katja says her readiness for a relationship was not matched.
- Katja explains she left the reunion early for a previously booked concert, returned to find Johann already focused elsewhere, and she notes cameras and public attention as added strain.
