It's going like clockwork with Pietro Lombardi (30) and his girlfriend Laura Maria: About two months after the couple announced that they would become parents together for the first time, the musician has now asked for the hand of his beloved – and of course she has "Yes said," as she immediately announced on her Instagram account. With the all-important question "Will you marry me" behind her, which Lombardi asked her as a lettering in English and bedded on roses, she immediately proudly presented her engagement clunker.

"I love you and our little darling," wrote Lombardi to Laura's post. Congratulations came from Giovanni Zarrella (44), who also commented happily on behalf of his wife Jana Ina (45): "When 2 people find each other and it becomes a family. Congratulations from us." And Yeliz Koc (28) is also overjoyed for her friend: "Omg !!!!! Congratulations my darling, I'm sooooo happy for you!"

But not only privately Lombardi and his designated wife seem to be doing everything right now. Professionally, the two are increasingly starting out together. Since September, the two have been presenting their podcast "On Off" once a week, which is named after their turbulent early days as lovers and in which they chat about everything and everything. At the beginning of October 2022, Lombardi's own documentary series started on RTL called "Pietro Lombardi: Family, Faith, Love". In it, the star takes viewers on a quest for talent for his newly formed label.

Perhaps the greatest challenge aside from changing diapers awaits the expectant father in the coming year. He will sit on the jury in the 20th anniversary season of "Deutschland sucht den Superstar" alongside returnee Dieter Bohlen (68) and singer Leony (25) and rapper Katja Krasavice (26).
