At the end of September, rumors about Helene Fischer's pregnancy made the rounds, the time was shortly before the release of her new album.
One or the other may have suspected that the pop singer was a PR stunt behind this - the 37-year-old now decidedly rejected this in relation to "Die Zeit".
"We deliberately withheld it for a long time and at first only shared it in the very, very narrowest circle - in the families," said Fischer in the interview.
"When I recorded my production for ZDF, I was quite far and had to tell a few people about it."
Then someone must have "betrayed" her, continued the 37-year-old.
She was "incredibly disappointed" about that.
She couldn't imagine who it was.
"There has to be someone around who chats."
"Exactly what we didn't want happened"
»We had the same game when we separated from myself and Florian.
We actually wanted to wait until we went public with it, we were also betrayed here, "said the singer.
The separation of Fischer and her musician colleague Florian Silbereisen became known in 2018 shortly before the broadcast of the singer's Christmas show.
"One could have got the impression that everything is staged and that we wanted it to be exactly the same," said Fischer now.
However, it was completely different: »Exactly what we did not want to have to share our most intimate emotional world with the public happened.
It wasn't a good time. "
She is not followed by paparazzi day and night, says Fischer: "Most of the time, paparazzi get a wink and catch my partner and me either in front of the house or on the way." Sometimes they feel "as if they were trapped in a cage." «.
After media reports about a pregnancy, the singer contacted her fans via Instagram at the beginning of October.
"As good as my current condition is, we would have liked to have waited a little longer until this news reached the public," she wrote at the time, without specifically mentioning the pregnancy.
Fischer has been in a relationship with acrobat Thomas Seitel since 2018.
