He sings himself a birthday tune - Dieter Bohlen celebrates 72nd birthday with a new marriage and TV debut
Dieter Bohlen has marked his 72nd birthday while celebrating a fresh chapter in his personal life. The music legend, known for his decades-long influence on German pop, recently married his long-time partner, Carina, in a private ceremony. The couple will soon make their first joint TV appearance on a popular game show.
Bohlen first rose to fame in the late 1970s before achieving international success with Modern Talking in the 1980s. His career expanded further in 2002 when he became a judge on Deutschland sucht den Superstar, turning him into a household name on television.
Over the years, he continued shaping German pop culture through solo work and production. Projects like Zauberland and Disco 2008 with Monrose, Albtraum with Catch!, and the compilation Dieter Bohlen – Die Mega Hits dominated charts and reinforced his influence.
On his birthday, Bohlen shared a light-hearted Instagram video singing 'Happy Birthday to me'. He thanked fans for their messages and playfully called out those who forgot the occasion.
Just weeks earlier, he and Carina Bohlen tied the knot in the Maldives on New Year's Eve. Their first public appearance as a married couple will be on Klein gegen Groß – Das unglaubliche Duell, hosted by Kai Pflaume, where Carina will also make her TV debut.
The birthday celebration follows a year of milestones for Bohlen, from his marriage to ongoing TV commitments. His upcoming appearance with Carina marks their first joint TVapp in the public eye. The couple's presence on the show will likely draw attention from fans and media alike.
