Live pronunciation in the “ZDF television garden”: Andrea Kiewel engaged with partner

It was the surprise of the weekend: Andrea Kiewel (60) announced her engagement live on Sunday in the “ZDF television garden”. Last week, the moderator based in Israel was unable to take part in the show due to the suspended airspace, the more enthusiastic the audience now reacted to her unexpected announcement.

“Welcome, what did I miss them all. Nice that we are together”, “Kiwi” greeted her viewers from the Lerchenberg Mainz. “And if you are waiting for good news: just for her. She said yes!” She then called and stretched her left hand demonstratively into the camera where there is a engagement ring.

With a kiss hand, Kiewel then aimed directly at her partner: “Hello Cherie, I love you.” Later in the show, she provided further cheerful moments during a dance performance with a viewer. “Now I can, I’m engaged,” she joked during the dance. The guest countered Schelmisch: “That means nothing!” But Kiewel did not let that count: “That means everything!”, She emphasized vigorously and again triumphantly stretched her engagement ring in front of his nose.

For the 60-year-old it will be the fourth marriage: for the first time she married at the age of only 19, and her son Maximilian Kiewel also comes from this marriage. From 1999 to 2001 she was married to the editor Gerrit Brinkhaus, in December 2004 she gave the director Theo Naumann (1962-2012) the yes word with whom she received her second son. The couple separated in 2007.

Andrea Kiewel has been living between two worlds for years. For her TV show, she regularly flies from her adopted home of Israel to Germany, but always returns to Tel Aviv, where she has lived since 2017. Her Israeli partner has been waiting for you since 2015 – an elite soldier of the Israeli army, which she lovingly calls her “astronaut”. You have never seen your partner publicly.

In her book “mostly sunny”, Kiewel 2020 raved about the special relationship: “I love a man who is from another star. It is called long -distance relationship. […] We live in different worlds. We don’t even speak the same language. […] We met on a street corner and we are still standing there. “

Since the Hamas attacked Israel in October 2023, Kiewel’s partner has been fighting again on the front, as she told in a contribution in the “Jewish Allgemeine”. “‘Andrea. I got a call. I’m going.’ The sentences I have most feared. Despite all the dangers, her friend is her “rock in the surf”.

In the previous week, Andrea Kiewel was unable to travel to Germany because of the escalating situation in Israel because Ben Gurion Airport was closed to air strikes. For their own 25-year anniversary program, “Let’s Dance” Juror Joachim Llambi (60) and comedian Lutz van der Horst (49) had to step in as a representative.
