Despite the fact that the story called "Modern Talking" had sunk into oblivion back in the early 2000s, this did not affect the popularity of one of its participants - Dieter Bohlen - in any way. Active and full of creative ideas, he was never limited to only one project, and therefore even now, when music has changed its direction and completely different people reign on the stage, he continues to work fruitfully and (which is important) earn. Dieter Bohlen's personal life is also in full swing, and therefore fans always have something to discuss in numerous forums dedicated to the singer, producer and composer.
The biography of Dieter Bohlen began on February 7, 62 years ago in Bern. According to the musician himself, the parents suffered a lot while raising their son. However, he did not limit himself to the tricks that many boys often test the patience of relatives. From childhood, carried away by music (and so seriously that even then he became the author of many of his own songs), Dieter Bohlen decided, against his parental will, to tie his future fate with it. True, before starting his career in this field, the musician still managed to graduate from the Faculty of Economics at the University of Göttingen. At first, all the recordings of the musician, sent to recording studios, did not bring stable work, but the situation changed dramatically and at the age of 24, Dieter Bohlen took the position of composer and producer at Intersong. And since 1983, when a duet with Thomas Anders appeared, the biography of the hero of our article has been known to almost the whole world. It is worth adding that those 10 years, when the band first ceased to exist, the musician himself did not remain in the shadows and continued to work actively, but already in the Blue System group he created. In general, even now, although Dieter Bohlen does not go on the stage himself, he is constantly in sight in his homeland, since he is the author of hits by many modern performers, produces promising talented young singers and sits on the jury of competitions popular in Germany.

The personal life of Dieter Bohlen also does not leave the front pages of newspapers. This is largely due to his loving nature, but also to the fact that the musician chooses bright and extraordinary women as his companions. Eric's first wife became his life partner for 11 years, giving her husband two sons and a daughter - Mark, Marvin and Marilyn.

The couple divorced because of the constant betrayals of Dieter Bohlen and, as they say, because of a new lover - Nadia Abdel Farrah. By the way, she was the civil wife of a musician for a long 12 years. As he himself claims, they broke up because of the girl's addiction to alcohol.

During the break of these relations, Dieter Bohlen managed to be married to Verona Feldbusch for a short time, the divorce from which was accompanied by a loud scandal. Since 2001, all of Germany has been discussing the musician's new romance with a young girl named Estefania Küster, who in 2005 gave him her third son, Maurice Cassian, without having received a marriage proposal.
The famous singer was married several times, and his loving temperament provoked many novels. All this led to the fact that Dieter Bohlen today is a father of many children - he has 6 children.
Dieter was born in 1954 in Bern, Germany. On the maternal side, his ancestors were from Russia, his grandmother was from Koenigsberg, today's Kaliningrad. His father worked as an engineer, his mother was a housewife, she raised and raised 3 children. Dieter was fond of music from school, he even tried himself in the writing genre as a songwriter. But he went to enter an economic university. Although he quickly became disillusioned and did not work in his specialty for a single day. Fate has prepared for him a musical career.
In 1983, a joint project was launched with Thomas Anders under the sensational name Modern Talking. Their songs skyrocketed to the top of the European charts. By 1987, the star duo broke up, and Bohlen took up another group - Blue System. However, in 1998, Modern Talking reappeared on the musical Olympus, having existed until 2003. And after another scandal, the team broke up. Since then, Dieter Bohlen has been pursuing a solo career and producing.
The first serious love that became an official wife was a stylist named Erica Sauerland. Dieter met her at a party in Göttingen. The young people got married in 1983, the ceremony was very modest, and the registration was completely carried out in casual clothes - in denim suits. The couple gave birth and raised three children: two sons, Mark and Marvin, and a daughter, Marilyn.
The constant attention from fans and female fans, as well as the explicit connections of the spouse on the side, led to discord in the family and an early divorce.
Later, Dieter will describe to journalists one of the quarrels, when, after another tour to Nice, he picked up some melody in his studio, his wife came and, in anger, smashed an expensive guitar on his head. The reason was another betrayal: Erica, sorting out her husband's suitcase, found women's panties among the clothes.
The marriage was destined to break up after eleven years. However, the divorced couple managed to maintain warm friendly relations, and the star ex-husband still supported, including financially, all the children.
Even today he is sure that he committed “the biggest sin in his life” by leaving children. He recommends that all fathers put their family on a pedestal. He really suffered a lot: “The pain that you experience when you have to give up another woman is nothing compared to the pain that torments when your children are not with you.”
For a very long time, the man was in love with the Arab model Nadia Abdel Farrah, who reciprocated. Their love affair began even before the musician's divorce from his first wife. However, this relationship also fell apart, it never came to marriage. According to rumors, the reason was Nadia's addiction to alcoholic beverages. The fact is that in a state of intoxication, an uninhibited woman gave herself to other men, which greatly hurt Dieter Bohlen.
In 1996, the singer went down the aisle for the second time, his choice fell on the model Verona Feldbush. And here a fiasco awaited him, as he quickly realized that his wife was more worried about her husband's stellar income than he was. The marriage lasted only four weeks. The divorce was accompanied by an indecent scandal, since the wife publicly accused Bohlen of beatings and violence.
The musician vowed never to marry again. However, his next passion, Estefania Kuster, told reporters that the issue of their wedding had long been resolved. To which Dieter objected: “It was you who decided everything with the wedding ceremony, not me.” The lovers in 2005 gave birth to a common child, who became the fourth offspring of Bolen. The son was given the name Maurice Cassian. But the man did not stop there in childbearing. In a few years, he will again become a father, and more than once.
After meeting Karina Waltz, who turned out to be 31 years younger than him, he leaves his previous family and creates a new one. The girl breathlessly looks at her chosen one, and he admires her innocence and youth. And for him it does not matter how society treats such relations. He is just in love and happy!
In March 2011, Karina gave her husband a daughter, Amelie, and in the fall of 2013, a son, Maximilian.
They are still married today, raising children together. Dieter Bohlen began to take better care of himself in order to match his young wife. He goes in for sports, runs 15 km every day, plays tennis. He managed to lose 10 kg, thanks to which he began to look 10 years younger.
Embracing his beloved wife, he jokes with journalists with pleasure: “If earlier I was just young and ugly, today I am old and beautiful!”
In 2002, Dieter Bohlen published his own autobiography. The book of his authorship "Nothing but the Truth" became a real bestseller.
Despite the fact that the legendary band Modern Talking has long ceased to exist, the name of Dieter Bohlen still excites his fans, who fell in love with the musician's work. Having achieved wild popularity, the artist worked fruitfully for a long time, creating more and more new musical projects, as well as producing young performers. Today, Bohlen continues to pursue his career, however, he surprises the public not only with his creative ideas, but also with his personal life. The singer was married more than once, besides, he was distinguished by a loving disposition and a passionate character, thanks to which he became a father of many children.
Dieter was born in 1954 in Bern, Lower Saxony, Germany. He also has Russian roots, as his maternal grandmother was Russian and lived in Königsberg, now Kaliningrad. His father was an engineer, and his mother was engaged in raising three children. In childhood, the future singer was a very smart and active child, bringing constant problems to his parents. In his school years, the boy became interested in music, already trying to compose songs. After leaving school, the young man received an economic education, however, he did not begin to work in his specialty, taking up a musical career. Bohlen produced German stars and wrote songs for them.
In 1983, together with the singer, he created the duet Modern Talking, thanks to which the group's songs topped the European charts for several years. However, in 1987 the duo ceased to exist, and the musician took up his career. He created the Blue System group, with which he actively worked. From 1998 to 2003, Modern Talking reasserted itself, after which the participants broke up with a huge scandal.

Dieter's personal life interested journalists and fans no less than his star songs. His first wife was stylist Erika, whom they met at a disco in Göttingen. The lovers played their wedding at the end of 1983, celebrating it rather modestly, and the newlyweds even came to the marriage registration in denim suits. Three children were born to this union: sons Mark and Marvin, and daughter Marilyn. Eleven years later, the couple divorced, as the wife was tired of the singer's fans and his many mistresses. After the divorce, Bohlen did not forget the children, paying the necessary expenses of the former family. With Erika, he also maintained good friendly relations.
The musician had a long love relationship with a model of Arab origin, Nadia Abdel Farrah. Dieter had strong feelings for the girl, however, she had an addiction to alcohol and often cheated on her star lover, which caused him mental trauma. In 1996, the singer married for the second time, and Verona Feldbush became his chosen one. However, this marriage quickly came to naught, as the girl was more interested in Bohlen's income than in himself. The divorce ended in a loud scandal, as the ex-wife accused the artist of assault.
