In the realm of reality TV, "The Bachelorette" is making headlines once again, this time gracing the front cover of Playboy magazine. This popular series, airing on RTL/RTL+ since 2012 (with spin-off "The Bachelor" since 2017), has been a staple of dating show entertainment for nearly two decades.
To commemorate this milestone, Playboy, the renowned pay-per-view magazine, has released a 100-page special issue titled "The Most Stunning 'Bachelorettes' & 'Bachelor' Stars". This collectible item will be available in both physical and online stores starting August 29. Subscribers in Brandenburg, Saxony, and Thuringia will receive an exclusive edition bundled with the "Katapult" magazine.
Gracing the cover is none other than Stella Stegmann (27), a Munich resident who has taken the 'Bachelorette' by storm in its current season. Known for her openness about her bisexuality, Stegmann became the first openly bisexual lead on the show, adding an exciting new layer to the series.
Following her initial interview, Stegmann expressed her pride in serving as a role model for bisexual women. She stated, "I'm proud to be a role model for bisexual women. I'm attracted to both genders; it ultimately comes down to that special connection." She also shared insights about her comfort levels, revealing, "I'm more comfortable with men, having had more experience in flirting or bedroom activities. With women, it's still a new experience for me; I'm constantly learning about myself and adapting to the situation."
Before joining "The Bachelorette", Stegmann had previously made waves in the Playboy community. She was crowned the Oktoberfest Playmate in 2019 and later nabbed the title of Playboy's Woman of the Year in 2020.
The special edition of Playboy promises an enchanting journey back to previous iconic "Playboy" photoshoots, with the most enticing stars from the TV series to make an appearance. Among the cast members expected to feature in this edition are Sarah Harrison, Yeliz Koc, Jessica Haller, Monica Ivancan, Alissa Harout, Linda-Caroline Nobat, Anja Polzer, Cecilia Asoro, Angelina Pannek, and many more.
As the special issue of Playboy is set to premiere, one cannot help but marvel at the captivating allure of various women from the TV series. Masterfully captured by renowned photographer Ana Dias, this edition showcases a spectrum of beauty and talent, featuring legends such as Angelina Pannek alongside other renowned personalities.
