What’s going on between Rúrik Gíslason and Valentina Pahde? This is what the presenter Laura Wontorra wanted to know from the former professional footballer at “Grill den Henssler”. But the 33-year-old dodged cleverly.
It is one of the hottest love rumors of the summer: Actress Valentina Pahde and ex-professional soccer player Rúrik Gíslason are said to be in a relationship. In June they were photographed together on the Greek island of Mykonos. She also posted a photo on Instagram that she showed while bathing with a cap from his fashion label Bökk. So far, Pahde and Gíslason have not commented on the speculations.
Now the Icelander was a guest on the Vox cooking show “Grill den Henssler” and presenter Laura Wontorra wanted to find out more about his relationship status. “You are so tanned,” the 32-year-old began the conversation. Gíslason replied that he was last in his Icelandic homeland and that the sun shone there 24 hours a day. But Wontorra was not satisfied with that. “So you didn’t go on vacation?” She asked. Yes, Gíslason admitted, he was in the south. “Somewhere it’s really warm.” He didn’t want to reveal where exactly. In response to Wontorra’s simple request as to where he had arrived by plane, Gíslason countered: “At the airport”.

She took the athlete into the mangle for several minutes while he prepared the dessert – Skyr soufflé with flambéed pineapple. “Why are you making such a secret out of it?” Wontorra wanted to know. “There are rumors that you get along well with Valentina Pahde, your colleague from ‘Let’s Dance’.” Pahde and Gíslason competed against each other in this year’s final of the RTL dance show. He won the duel with professional dancer Renata Lusin.
The Icelander always found a diplomatic answer to Wontorra’s constant follow-up. In general, he got along well with all the candidates in “Let’s Dance”, it was like being in a big family, said Gíslason. In response to Wontorra’s direct question: “Are you single or do you have a girlfriend?” the 33-year-old replied: “I don’t talk about my private life. I think everyone deserves to have a private life.”
Finally Wontorra gave up. “You are such a smart fox. When boys look so good, they are underestimated, but you do it really well. You dodged them skillfully.” Gíslason was not always successful on the soccer field, but when it came to love interviews, he showed the perfect tactic.
