Amira Pocher talks about the relationship outing in the podcast – and reveals details from behind the scenes of the waning war of the roses.
A few days ago, influencer Amira Pocher (31) and presenter Christian Düren (34) made their relationship public. There have been rumors since paparazzi photos appeared showing the two intimately on vacation in South Africa. In the first podcast edition of “Liebes Leben” (exclusively on Podimo) with her brother Ibrahim “Hima” (33) since the declaration of love, she confirms again: “I am in a relationship.” Yes, they are officially together.
Amira Pocher: “This game of hide-and-seek was incredibly important”
Hima wants to hear details, “the most important data, facts: How serious is it? Do you already live together? Are you planning children? Do you love each other?” His famous sister doesn’t really go into that. Nevertheless, she is very relieved. “It was about time, this game of hide-and-seek lasted a long time, to be honest. And it was also incredibly important,” says Pocher.
When it came to the date for the relationship outing, Pocher and Düren “went at their own pace”. Earlier in the phase of getting to know each other, there was “no reason to go public” – even if it was anticipated by paparazzi photos in Cape Town, Paris or Mallorca. “You’ve read something about it before, but we never confirmed it because there was simply no reason to do so.”
They first wanted to find out: “Will it last? Will it work – with the children, with all this fuss, with the exes and so on.” She wanted to avoid headlines like “It’s all over again” if it didn’t work out. Furthermore, it was “a matter of respect and consideration” not to “voluntarily” publish “smooching photos”. “And now, after a year of separation, Mum can just carry on and admit it,” adds Pocher. A public separation is always difficult, confirms Hima, “and that’s why hats off to you both.”
Amira Pocher: “The fact is, we are both continuing and that’s how it should be”
Amira says of her still-husband Oliver Pocher (45): “The fact is, we’re both going on and that’s how it should be. That’s why we’re separated. But for me it just went a bit stupid that there were so many pictures of it very quickly. Really involuntary,” she emphasizes.
She also explains how fresh her new love was at the time: “Because I’m not sitting at a table with friends in Cape Town and calling paparazzi when I’m really only getting to know this person better for the first or second week.” That wasn’t her goal and she denies having acted “recklessly”. She also says that she had “already been separated for half a year at the time. It’s different when you’re still together or when you’re going through a separation.”
The year of separation – or was it already two?
“But on paper you’re still married,” Hima objects. “Yes, of course, but there is such a thing as a year of separation, which is now over.” Then she indicates, still noticeably agitated, that Pocher’s behavior after the official separation has not led to her reconsidering the whole thing. “I don’t think I really need to listen to anything about that. Because everyone saw: OK, maybe it’s not meant to be. Because it’s not the polite way of saying: No, no, you know what, maybe we’ll give it another chance. No, no, I really don’t need another year,” says Amira Pocher contemptuously.
Oliver Pocher had given free rein to his hurt feelings in posts and on stage, and had also trumpeted out many hurtful details.
Speaking of the year of separation: It didn’t officially start when it was made public, says Hima, adding that it had been going on privately for a while. “Exactly, so we’ve already been separated for two years – that’s enough now,” says Amira Pocher. “Nevertheless, I waited so long out of consideration, because even though I knew there was absolutely no chance of going back from either side, I didn’t think it was appropriate to post any couple photos from vacation.”
There were so many reasons, “but I’m still the asshole […] Because I just carry on living my life and look forward and make sure that I am happy and that my children are happy,” she says in response to the criticism she must have received on many occasions. But now she doesn’t care anymore because she can’t please anyone anyway.
The divorce could be finalized in August
“Now, of course, the divorce is coming. That’s coming soon. That will be pretty exciting, I think. Things haven’t really calmed down yet,” explains Amira about the upcoming official end of the marriage. Hima guesses: “You shouldn’t be married by August if things really go as planned.” Amira replies: “We’ll just have to wait and see…”
But now the next short trip for the newly in love lovebirds Pocher and Düren is coming up. They’re going to Rome: “Christian gave me this as a gift: I see, I hear Ludovico Einaudi live in Rome,” she says, very excited about the concert in Italy. “We’re staying for a few days.”
It is unclear whether her two sons will be there too. But Hima asks: “The kids have also met Christian. How do they get on with him? How do they take it? Do they understand it?” he asks important questions about patchwork happiness. “It works great, we have a lot of fun together […] everything is great here, a good team, I must say […]”, at least that’s what Amira reveals about it.
