Overview
- The couple confirmed their engagement in an Instagram post published Wednesday showing Groppler kneeling and the caption “Er hat Ja gesagt.”
- Photos from the evening show a restaurant decorated with heart balloons, Polaroid snapshots, a kiss and Phil Laude wearing a noticeably oversized silver ring.
- Laude responded to the post with a joking comment referencing Lord of the Rings, and many peers and fans quickly posted congratulations in the comments.
- Groppler and Laude have been together since 2020 and marked their sixth anniversary in March 2026 with photos that resembled a wedding shoot.
- The engagement drew extra public interest because Laude is a former Y‑TITTY member and film/TV actor and because he lost a long‑term partner in 2018, a backstory he has said made finding love again meaningful.
