Actor, football manager, handball professional, DJ: When it comes to career, Sophia Thomalla hosts "Splash! The Superstar Pool Quiz" for RTL
– 2024-06-14 12:31:20″>Simone Thomalla has had no preferences with her partners in the past.
She is a singer, audio book speaker and actress: Simone Thomalla has celebrated many career highlights since her breakthrough as a Leipzig “crime scene” investigator in 2008. The all-rounder, who is celebrating his 59th birthday today, was rarely seen alone in the spotlight. In addition to daughter Sophia, many men were also at the star’s side when it came to headlines or red carpet appearances.
First up was theater actor André Vetters, with whom Simone Thomalla was in a relationship from 1988. The couple married in 1991. Two years before the wedding, their daughter Sophia was born.
From then on she played in a different league in terms of boulevards. We went hand in hand from one event to the next with the then football manager. TV appearances, commercials and interviews were on the agenda.
“For us it wasn’t something that happened every day.”
But as energetic and intense as it was in front of the cameras, the two met each other just as tamely and calmly behind closed doors: “For us, it wasn’t every day that we got down to business. And there are arguments in every healthy relationship,” explained Simone Thomalla in hers first interview after the separation in 2009 with the “Bild” newspaper.
Assauer, who died of Alzheimer’s in 2019, was also a special man for his daughter Sophia. In 2017, she revealed on the TV show “Applaus und Raus” how she experienced the third man at her mother’s side in her youth: “Rudi Assauer was like a father to me. He was with my mother at a formative time “, said the moderator.
Age difference doesn’t matter
After separating from Rudi Assauer, Simone Thomalla turned the tables on the age difference. She struck up a relationship with national handball goalkeeper Silvio Heinevetter, who was almost 20 years her junior.
The couple went through thick and thin for twelve years and separated in 2021. Not easy for Thomalla: “I admit, it wasn’t that easy to face single life after almost 13 years of being in a relationship: you get up in the morning, no one says ‘good morning’, you leave in the evening without saying goodnight. Kiss to bed. Suddenly you face life alone, that’s scary at first!” she explained in January 2023 in “Bunte”.
