Bianca Claßen (30) aka Bibi is back. After the successful influencer didn’t let anyone hear from her social media channels for almost two years, she now shared a long statement with her fans on Instagram. In it she explains the reasons for the long radio silence, goes into what has happened in the last 20 months – and what will happen next.
The 30-year-old writes: “For over ten years I practiced social media to an extreme extent as my job, which merged so intensively with my private life that in the end I couldn’t or didn’t want to anymore.” She is probably alluding to her marriage to Julian Claßen (30), who also works as an influencer. The two internet stars were a couple for around 13 years, married in 2018 and had two children. They announced their separation in May 2022.
Bianca Claßen’s break also began at exactly this time. “I was completely overwhelmed by the new life situation and first had to learn what my new life was, what I wanted it to be – and also what I wanted it not to be,” she now writes.
She then reports on an intensive phase of self-discovery in which she read a lot of texts and books, watched films, series and documentaries, had conversations and confronted herself with interpersonal situations “that have burdened me for many years.” She deals with the topics of nutrition and health, meditated and sometimes put her cell phone away for days. She continues: “I wanted to clean up my life and get to know and love myself again and I came across such incredible things.”
Finally, Claßen gives an outlook on what will happen to her social media channels in the future – so followers don’t have to fear radio silence. To achieve this, she has “put so much love, passion and work into everything over the years,” says the influencer, who has 8.2 subscribers on Instagram. She admits that it’s getting harder and harder for her to stop posting anything online every day.
However: “I never want to feel the pressure of having to share and post something again. I never want to be able to enjoy a wonderful private moment to the fullest again because it is more important to document everything instead of in To be able to live in the moment.”
Now she is even more looking forward to “all the moments that will come in which I will let you share in certain things in my life.” In the future, these will probably be things “that inspire and move me, topics on which I am happy about different opinions and discussions.” However, she will no longer pay attention to reach or competition or strive to please everyone.
