Uwe Abel, the beloved star of "Bauer sucht Frau," found himself in a tough spot just before the holiday season. His dedicated wife, Iris Abel, shared a heart-wrenching photo on Instagram, showing Uwe resting in a hospital bed with an X-ray of his fractured shoulder. The mishap occurred on Uwe's birthday, December 9, as he took a dangerous tumble from the second-story balcony.
The incident left Uwe with several broken bones, including fractures in his upper arm, ribs, and pelvis. Thankfully, his fall wasn't fatal, as he landed on his side instead of his head. Medical professionals fixed his shoulder using a plate and ten screws. Iris Abel's emotional statement on Instagram sparked concern among their many fans and friends, who wished him a speedy recovery.
Luckily, Uwe was able to celebrate Christmas at home with Iris, after she picked him up from the hospital. The two have been inseparable since meeting on "Bauer sucht Frau" in 2011. They quickly became the show's most adorable couple and eventually went on to win "Das Sommerhaus der Stars" in 2018. Their bond remained strong, with Uwe even participating in "Promi Big Brother" in 2021. Despite their fame and numerous TV appearances, the two lovebirds always maintained a connection to their family and fans.
