Xander Stephinger Cites NDA for AYTO VIP Secrecy as Ex Lilly Pushes Back

Lilly stresses privacy to protect their daughter in rare public comments.

Overview

Stephinger says he told Lilly he would be traveling for a TV project and be unreachable, but he did not disclose the show.
He argues production contracts barred him from naming Are You The One? VIP before airing due to potential penalties.
Lilly wrote on Instagram that repeated public discussion about her without consent is hurtful and that she is staying quiet for Emma.
New episodes on RTL+ show Stephinger speaking warmly about fatherhood in a conversation with contestant Elli.
Contestants have reacted cautiously to his presence on screen, with some questioning his readiness to date after the recent split he announced in April.
