Rumors about his love life don't bother presenter Florian Silbereisen. "I only hear about it to a limited extent because I don't read it all. But it's funny that there has always been speculation about my love life over the last 20 years," says the pop singer.

Silbereisen was together with one of Germany's best-known singers, Helene Fischer ("Atemlos"), until 2018. There is currently speculation as to whether Silbereisen is having an affair with singer Beatrice Egli ("Mein Herz", "Balance").

Joint song with Egli caused rumors to boil over
The 42-year-old and the 35-year-old winner of the tenth "Deutschland sucht den Superstar" season countered the speculation with the song "Das wissen nur wir".

Silbereisen describes the reaction even more precisely: "I mean, I even made fun of it with Beatrice in the song we sing together."

He doesn't know why people are fascinated by his love life, said Silbereisen. "Apparently people want to know how or what's going on. Then at least you know that there's an interest in you," he said and grinned.

Does it matter to him? "It doesn't bother me much. As I said, I don't really concern myself with all these things," said the singer, who was born in a community in the Bavarian district of Passau.
