Lili Paul-Roncalli appeared on the "ZDF-Fernsehgarten" last Sunday and was interviewed by Andrea Kiewel after her performance.

But the question the moderator asked her caused a brief uncomfortable moment.

The issue at stake was the desire to have children.

Mainz – On Sunday morning Lili Paul-Roncalli showed her contortion arts live on the “ZDF-Fernsehgarten” (all information about the show with Andrea Kiewel from Mainz).

Then there was a small interview with moderator Andrea Kiewel – but there was an uncomfortable moment.

The 56-year-old asked the circus artist about her desire to have children – whoops, there was a short silence.

Andrea Kiewel first asked the 24-year-old about her Italian roots and her childhood in a circus family - but then got off the subject pretty quickly.

Because she wanted to know something completely different: "Of course you've been taken for a long time, but no children yet?" Asked the moderator.

The former "Let's Dance" candidate denied the question.

"But it's not out of the question?" Andrea Kiewel asked.

A brief moment of silence.

"You don't ask a woman such questions anymore in 2022!" countered Lili Paul-Roncalli.

But the presenter didn't give up and kept trying: "Yes!

Precisely because you can ask that per se. ”But she quickly changed the subject – a few days have passed.

How does the 24-year-old see the conversation afterwards?

Lili Paul-Roncalli has been with tennis star Dominic Thiem (28) for over a year - but they keep their love out of the public eye.

In response to Andrea Kiewel's question about having a child, she thinks the following today: "I just don't think it's okay to ask women today if they want to have children.

And I think that's easy to say.

And for many women, I'm still very young, so - a desire to have children is still a long way off for me.

But it's an uncomfortable topic for many women," said the 24-year-old in an RTL interview.

The celebrities are already in the starting blocks for the upcoming ZDF television garden show.

At least one singer who is really looking forward to his performance has now been announced.

Julian Reim will perform next Sunday in the TV garden.
