Helena Fürst and Ennesto Monté
A fast forward relationship or is it all fake? The relationship between ex-jungle star Helena Fürst and singer Ennesto Monté, which lasted only a few months, made headlines.

The two had only started dating a few months before the show. "The short time we had was harmonious, but then it wasn't so harmonious in the summer house.

Micaela Schäfer and Felix Steiner
Even between Micaela Schäfer and Felix Steiner, shreds often flew in the show. A short time later they went their separate ways.

Before episode five of season four aired, couple Benjamin Boyce and Kate Merlan revealed they had split two months after filming wrapped. "We have completely different visions of how a relationship should work," said Benjamin Boyce in an RTL interview. Kate Merlan said something similar: "I think we were just too different".

For the ex-couple it was enough for fifth place in the “Summer House of the Stars”.
Willi Herren and Jasmin Herren

Mangold explained in an interview in February 2021 that he and his former partner had "different ideas for the future". The shit storm after the "summer house" finally made the camel overflow. But their love wasn't the only one that failed. The rival couple, Chris Broy and Eva Benetatou, split in April 2021. Broy's participation in "Battle of the Reality Stars" was to blame.
