The queen of the German hit with Siberian roots became a mother | Culture and Lifestyle in Germany and Europe

37-year-old pop star Helene Fischer became a mom for the first time in December 2021, just before Christmas. According to German media, citing information “from the closest family environment,” the queen of the German hit and her 36-year-old groom, gymnast Thomas Seitel, had a daughter, but the baby’s name has not yet been disclosed.

The fact that the singer is pregnant became known in October 2021. Helene herself confirmed the rumors then spread on her Instagram page. However, it was not known exactly when the birth would take place. Helene Fischer herself (Russian-language media also often call her Elena) has not yet commented on the reports of the birth of her first child. But in a post that the pop star posted on Instagram in October, she complained that someone close to her probably spilled out, draining such confidential information to journalists without her consent. The singer frankly admitted: this disappointed her the most.

Always in public

Helene Fischer made several television appearances in November. She could be seen in the super popular in Germany entertainment TV show “Wetten, dass …?” (“Bet you …?”), As well as in the family game TV show “Klein gegen Groß” (“Small vs. Big”). But even then, she did not say a word about her situation. However, even with such a long period of pregnancy, the changes in the appearance of the expectant mother were practically not conspicuous, except that the outlines of her impeccable athletic figure became somewhat softer and rounded.

In connection with the release of her new album “Rausch”, several documentaries about the singer have also been shown on German television. However, in none of them did Helene comment on information leaked to the press about the upcoming birth of their first child. Only in one documentary did she say: “Now I am very happy. It couldn’t be better.”

Now everything is fine with the mother and the baby: according to the latest reports, Helene Fischer feels great and enjoys communication with her little daughter, who, like her mother, is full of health and vigor.

Daughter of ethnic Germans from Russia

The German media also reported that the singer gave birth to her baby not in a clinic, but within the walls of her new home in the vicinity of Munich – on the shores of the picturesque Lake Ammersee, where she and Thomas Seitel settled in June last year. They say that from the moment the baby is born, a bright pink van regularly appears at its gate – a food truck, on which the newly-made parents are brought the food they ordered.

To the best of their ability, the pop star and her fiancé are also supported by Helene’s parents. Fortunately, they live nearby. Her mother and father are ethnic Germans who moved to Germany from Siberia when her daughter was four years old. They have lived together for over 40 years and have always been a role model in the life of a girl who has long dreamed of creating a strong family. She met with singer and actor Florian Silbereisen for 10 years and did not hide, but the family did not work: the couple broke up in 2018.

Beloved star and happy father – a successful gymnast and dancer

However, the singer did not remain alone for long: a miniature blonde, similar to a statuette, began to appear in the company of a tall, muscular handsome man. The new boyfriend of Helene Fischer turned out to be the successful trapeze artist and dancer Thomas Seitel, who has been working in her team since 2017 and has already participated in more than 70 large-scale shows of the pop star. Behind him – studies at the prestigious Higher School of Physical Education and Sports in Cologne, victories in aerial gymnastics competitions, work in the famous circus Cirque du Soleil.

Thomas Zaitel

Thomas Seitel was born and raised in the small town of Eppertshausen near Frankfurt am Main. After the divorce of his parents, he decided to live with his father, with whom he has a very close relationship. It was his father, who has been doing gymnastics from a young age, who made Thomas addicted to this sport.

The crown of love for Helene Fischer and Thomas Seitel will be their wedding: they will soon become a married couple. The athlete made an offer to his beautiful girlfriend in a romantic atmosphere by candlelight, and not just anywhere, but in the Maldives. Where and what scale the wedding celebration will be is still a mystery.
