Overview
- Multiple outlets published Instagram Stories and posts on June 23–24 showing Joel Mattli and Malika Dzumaev at the same resort on Fuerteventura and appearing together in short beach and dance videos.
- In a clip reposted by news sites Joel films at the beach and playfully turns the camera to Malika while asking, “Was machst denn du hier?”, a moment that fans read as intimate but not confirmatory.
- Malika’s Instagram post explicitly refers to them giving classes, writing that they are “Fleißig in der Sonne” and launching “Team Joelika,” with footage showing a Cha‑Cha‑Cha course for resort guests.
- Other dancers from Let’s Dance, notably Mariia Maksina, are also shown at the same resort, which supports the outlets’ framing of the trip as a mix of professional appearances and holiday time.
- Despite renewed speculation, Joel previously told Blick that they were not a couple and there is no confirmed romantic relationship; the latest coverage leaves their personal status officially unverified.
