The harmony duo hasn't disbanded yet. - Relationship of the Prominent Duo Remains Intact
In the realm of German Schlager, couple goals are dominated by none other than the lovebirds, Michelle (53) and her younger beau, Eric Philippi (28). But, the gossip mills started churning recently, suggesting whispers of a breakup. Now, Eric's taking one for the team and shutting down the murmurs once and for all.
"Put a Cap on the Chatter: We're Still Together and Totally in Love"
On May 6, Eric made a studio appearance, following a few intense weeks holed up in the creative space. He took a social media break, shying away from the spotlight, and ease-dropping on the hype. But his peace was disrupted when the phone started ringing off the hook, filled with whispers of a potential split. He wasn't planning to speak out today, but the phone goddesses wouldn't let him be. "Let's nip this in the bud quick: We're still together, and we're head-over-heels in love," Eric made clear in an Instagram Story.
If you're catching up on the drama, Michelle seems to be echoing the same sentiments. Guess she's also down with the PDA. She gave Eric's update a heart-eyed approval on her account, adding a simple "Only love." And she didn't keep it to herself—she shared her endorsement across her own Instagram Story and replied affirmatively in writing: "Only love back."
Last summer at the "Schlagerbooom Open Air," hosted by Florian Silbereisen (43), the couple went official, making big headlines[2]. "At the 'Schlagerbooom Open Air' last year, you revealed you were an item. You made waves," Silbereisen nostalgically reminisced. "From the get-go, I knew things were serious, and we'd been secretly a thing for a while," Philippi confessed.
