Their love story began in 2005

Helene Fischer and Florian Silbereisen met in 2005 at the "Hochzeitsfest der Volksmusik". It was the musician's first major television appearance and she sang a duet of "Komm mit nach Varasdin" with the presenter. It was to be the beginning of their love story. They repeatedly appeared on stage together, sang duets, chatted and openly showed their love.

Open words about the break-up

Now - just before Christmas - the surprising news: After ten years, the two entertainers are going their separate ways. Helene Fischer published a letter to her fans on her Instagram account in which she commented on their break-up. "As sad as we are that we were unable to realize our lifelong dream together and that Florian and I are now going our separate ways as a couple, we are now moving on from this bitter experience all the more beautifully and powerfully as friends," she explains there and continues: "We have given each other 10 years of respect, unconditional cohesion, harmony, loyalty, friendship and love, and this is now reflected in our separation. We are leaving here stronger than ever as friends and will not allow the media to even begin to stand in our way or play us off against each other." She also posted a black and white photo showing her and Florian Silbereisen laughing and in an intimate pose.

A new man at Helene's side

However, the blonde beauty will probably not spend Christmas alone under the Christmas tree, despite their separation. She continues in the personal statement:

Update: The new man at Helene's side is dancer Thomas Seitel, who regularly appears on stage with the singer. Anyone who now thinks that this is causing stress between her and her ex Flori is very much mistaken. The presenter himself wrote in a statement on Facebook: " If there are now pictures of Helene with another man, then I would just like to make it clear that I have known Thomas for a long time, he is a great guy and I wish them both a lot of luck.
