Uwe Abel, the beloved star of German reality TV show "Bauer sucht Frau," had an unexpected slip on his birthday. He inadvertently stumbled off his balcony, a three-meter plunge that left him grappling with several fractures. Iris, Uwe's dedicated wife, recounts the harrowing accounts of their New Year's Eve misadventure to RTL.
The incident took place just days before Christmas. Iris posted an emotional photo on Instagram showing her husband lying in a hospital bed, clinging to an X-ray. Uwe's upper arm had undergone surgery and was screwed back together, while other parts of his body bore the brunt of the harsh fall. His ribs had fractured, his lung was bruised, and his pelvis was shattered.
However, as Iris spoke solemnly of their circumstance, a glint of hope mirrored in her eyes. "I'm just glad he's alive," she said. Had it not been for the fortunate alignment of his body, Uwe might not be here today.
Initially, Iris shared minimal information about her beloved's condition. "Poor bunny," she wrote, leaving the fans guessing. Her simple caption echoed the sentiment of a concerned supporter that remarked Uwe broke his humerus. Yet, their holiday in the hospital was short-lived. Uwe was discharged the following day, restoring some normalcy to their lives.
Uwe and Iris met on "Bauer sucht Frau," in 2011, and fell head over heels in love. The gentle pig farmer found his soulmate, and they wed two years later. Since then, their shared lives have been chronicled on TV shows and social media platforms, bringing their fans closer with each passing day. The duo took their commitment to new heights in 2018, winning the RTL emblematic show "Das Sommerhaus der Stars." In 2021, Uwe once again graced the small screen, this time in "Promi Big Brother," where he managed to secure the runner-up title, losing out to Melanie Müller in the final round.
Despite his grueling ordeal, Uwe's comeback on RTL left his fellow fans hopeful for his speedy recovery.
