Engaged Discussion Unearthed: Partners Contemplate Matrimony Early on in Relationship - Discussion about imminent nuptials between the new couple
Last year, everyone's favorite GZSZ actress, Mariella Ahrens (56), and entrepreneur Marco van Dré (51) met in a smokin' hot encounter... or so they say! Ever since their fateful rendezvous in a Cologne bar, these two lovebirds have been gushing over each other like teenagers with their first crack at romance.
"We're as happy as clams, and I haven't felt this relaxed in years," Ahrens shared with the entertaining mag, Bunte. Even Van Dré is thinking about taking their relationship to the next level: "With Mariella, I can imagine everything... even wedding bells!"
Love at First Sight... and Dance
Van Dré divulged that their whirlwind romance began when their eyes locked across a bustling dance floor. The entrepreneur couldn't help but approach the striking actress, and the two hit it off instantly. "When our eyes met, it was like love at first sight," Van Dré reminisced. "Mariella was the epitome of allure on the dance floor, and I knew she was someone special."
After hours of flirting and forgetting the world around them, the couple was reluctantly kicked out of the bar when the lights came on. They were the last ones standing!
A Dream Come True
A bachelor for life, Van Dré considers himself beyond lucky to have found his ultimate soulmate in Mariella. "Mariella is my dream woman, the one I want to spend every waking moment with," he gushed. Ahrens shared that she had been single for about four years before meeting the entrepreneur and had even dabbled in a long-distance relationship, which ultimately proved unsuccessful. "I need someone by my side," she explained. "Over time and a few relationship trials and tribulations, you learn what works and what doesn't."
Prior Romantic History
Ahrens, who has two daughters - one from a previous relationship and one adopted by her second husband - has had her fair share of romantic ups and downs. In 2001, she married the investment banker Jost Paffrath, but the couple parted ways a year later and officially divorced in 2004. Two years after that, she exchanged vows with Patrick Graf von Faber-Castell, who also adopted her elder daughter. Their separation was announced in 2012, and the divorce was finalized in 2015.
Van Dré hails from Hamburg and currently calls Düsseldorf home. In addition to being a successful businessman, he's also involved in volunteer work. He started the animal protection organization, Veto, which aligns perfectly with Ahrens' philanthropic endeavors. A confirmed bachelor with no children, Van Dré spoke candidly to Bunte about his relationship status.
