Not quite two years ago, Stefano Zarrella (32) and Romina Palm (23) got engaged. Instead of stepping in front of the altar, they have now ended their relationship, as the brother of moderator and singer Giovanni Zarrella (45) announces on Instagram.

"It's not easy for me, but you have a right to know: Romina and I have split up," writes the 32-year-old in a story to his almost 1.4 million followers. For a relationship with the former "GNTM" participant, it "simply wasn't enough in the end".

It is difficult to realize this, "but we will go our separate ways from now on," it continues. Zarrella hopes that his fans will understand that he wants to leave it at this post to "look forward together with you". Palm has not yet commented on the split. In her own story, however, she referred to that of her ex-partner Stefano.

In the summer of 2021, the couple made it public that they were engaged. Palm presented her engagement ring on Instagram at the time and commented "YES". In other pictures, the "Germany's next top model" finalist Zarrella was in her arms.
