The German fashion designer Philipp Plein (45) has become a father for the third time. As RTL reports, his son number three was born by caesarean section on Friday (October 6) in Lugano, Switzerland. The entrepreneur confirmed this personally. According to the report, both the baby and the mother, Plein’s girlfriend Lucia Bartoli, 24, are doing well and are currently recovering from the birth.

Bartoli and Plein already have a son together named Rocket Halo Ocean (1). There are always sweet videos and photos of her little family on the fashion designer’s Instagram channel. The 45-year-old also has his eldest son Romeo Prince (10) from a previous relationship with Fernanda Rigon. He opened his fashion show in Milan hand in hand in September with his firstborn.

In April 2023, the designer revealed in an interview with the “Bild” newspaper that he was becoming a father for the third time. “I am grateful and proud that after all our professional successes we are even able to have children,” Plein explained at the time. “After all the years of difficulties with my first son Romeo, whom I couldn’t see for a long time, I have so much joy with and with my little Rocky – I’m happy to accept God’s next gift.”

Although the designer is very busy, he still enjoys his duties as a father. About his son Rocky he says to “Bild”: “I bathe him, I take him in the morning before I have to go to the office. Then mom can stay lying down. And in the evening, when I come home, I take over the feeding and changing him. “
