Menowin Fröhlich Announces Baby No. 9 as DSDS Return Draws Favoritism Claims

The timing links his family story to a DSDS comeback under viewer scrutiny for favoritism.

Overview

  • Menowin Fröhlich, 38, revealed during his return to DSDS — Germany’s “Idol”-style singing contest — that he and partner Ronja expect a daughter named Mavie‑Soleyn in August, their first child together and his ninth.
  • He said the baby was planned, and the couple have known each other for about 18 years but only became partners in 2025.
  • Coverage details his large blended family from prior relationships, including five children with ex‑wife Şenay Ak and three with Sabrina Hertzschuch.
  • Viewers on social media accuse RTL and the show of favoring the well‑known returnee after Dieter Bohlen’s lavish praise that included the new “Mega‑Buzzer” honor.
  • Fröhlich says he lost about 90 kilograms after a 2022 stomach operation and therapy when his weight hit 170 kilos, tying his recovery narrative to a high‑visibility TV comeback.
