His daughter lives with the mother. His ex-girlfriend and he had a good relationship. “I take care of it very much,” he says, and continues: “I regularly pick up my daughter on weekends so that she sleeps with me.

“Neither did she ask me where I was going”
Before Manuel’s love adventure could start, he had to tell his ex-girlfriend that he would be away for a long time. However, he did not inform her of the participation in “Bachelorette”. “I didn’t tell her that directly,” admits the fitness trainer. «Not that she could say afterwards: you are participating in a show. But that’s stupid that you can be seen on TV, »he explains.

That’s why he didn’t talk to her about it at all. He told her that he was on vacation a little longer. «She didn’t ask me where I was going. It was all very relaxed. » The passionate boxer had more trouble not being able to see his daughter. «The longer it took, the more I missed her, so I’m honest. I love my daughter more than anything. »

“You just get a few dumps simply because you have a child”
Manuel is now ready to let a second woman into his life. Since the separation from Carlas Mami three years ago, the politeur is single. When he broke up with his ex-girlfriend, it took him a long time to cope. «Now I’m dad. How’s that working? How many times can I see them? What about maintenance? These are all questions that then arise in the room that you didn’t have before, »he reports.

Suddenly being a dad also has an impact on love life: “For many women, I think that’s a reason why they say: ‘Better not’. Even if they don’t like to admit it. » Fellow campaigner Mike also had to experience this. “You just get a few dumps simply because you have a child,” says the dad of three-year-old Finn. He started saying that at the beginning. “Otherwise there will only be a shock moment later.”

Fortunately, when Mike told his son’s mommy about his participation in “Bachelorette”, that moment was missed. “She actually reacted happily,” says the bricklayer.
