Isabell Horn Defends Her Open Relationship After Online Criticism

She casts the choice as a values-led move toward greater honesty.

Overview

  • Horn posted on Instagram Monday after strong reactions to explain why she and partner Jens Ackermann chose an open relationship.
  • She said the choice was not a rescue attempt for a failing bond and noted she first discussed opening up in a 2025 podcast.
  • Horn wrote that they keep few fixed rules and instead rely on honesty, respect, responsibility, and trust.
  • She stressed the aim is greater depth between them, not more partners, and said the added conversations can feel uncomfortable.
  • She rejected claims of harm to her family, saying their two children grow up in a stable home with loving, respectful parents.
