Pietro Lombardi's earnings were "lower than anticipated"
Pietro Lombardi, one of the most famous singers in our country, rose to fame after winning Germany's popular singing competition, DSDS, in 2011. At 33 years old, Lombardi has made a significant impact on the German music scene.
Following his victory, Lombardi established himself successfully in the industry, sharing his experiences and talent on various platforms, including "Germany's Got Talent." His tenure on the show was fruitful, earning him around 400,000 euros per season. However, it is now clear that his earnings from the music business, including his time on DSDS, were not as high as initially thought.
Lombardi's personal life has also been a subject of interest. In 2013, he started a relationship with fellow DSDS contestant Sarah Engels, which resulted in the birth of their son, Alessio, in 2015. The couple got married the same year but separated in 2016.
In 2013, Lombardi also had to cancel other engagements due to the priority of "Germany's Got Talent." His dedication to the show was evident, and it seems that his commitment played a significant role in his career.
Lombardi's life took another turn in 2015 when he started a relationship with influencer Laura Maria Rypa. The couple welcomed their first child together, Romeo, in 2019. Lombardi and Rypa are currently in a relationship, and their family life appears to be thriving.
However, Lombardi's personal life has not been without its challenges. In October 2024, there was a police raid at his shared house in Cologne, allegedly about domestic violence. The details of the incident are not publicly available.
In November 2024, Lombardi's jury seat on DSDS was replaced, marking a significant change in his career. His departure from "Germany's Got Talent" also signified a financial fresh start for the singer, as he announced the need to reorganise his finances.
As for the future of young talents on DSDS, singer Isi Glück, rapper Bushido, and music producer Dieter Bohlen will decide their fate in the upcoming ninth season. The show continues to be a platform for emerging artists, and Lombardi's departure opens up opportunities for new talent to shine.
Despite the challenges and changes, Pietro Lombardi remains a prominent figure in the German music industry, with a dedicated fan base that continues to support him. His journey serves as an inspiration to many aspiring artists, demonstrating that perseverance and dedication can lead to success.
