When having a baby for the first time, there are numerous things that give you a headache beforehand. How do I react if the baby is sick? Or if it screams a lot? In the case of Laura Maria Rypa, there is another uncertainty: How do I deal with my partner’s fame?
In their joint podcast “Laura and Pietro – On Off”, the parents-to-be talked about exactly that. For Lombardi, who won the casting show “Deutschland sucht den Superstar” in 2011, crowds of fans and selfie requests are not new. “Sometimes I ask myself, what would it be like if we were both unknown? I don’t know what it’s like to be unknown,” he says in conversation with his fiancée. While he’s grateful for everything his public career has brought him, it’s not always easy.
Rypa, on the other hand, only became known through her relationship with Lombardi. Unlike him, she may still be able to go out on the street without being asked for a photo. The fact that things are different with him is not easy for her. “You can really see that with him now. You don’t go into town with him for five minutes and in ten seconds it feels like 50 people come to him and want to take photos. You don’t have the opportunity and it’s not fun at all to do anything with him in public,” explains Rypa in the podcast.
It could be more difficult when the baby of the two is born. “It’s a certain fear that I have when the child is there later, that you go for a walk outside, you actually want to enjoy being together with the child, and then people come and say: ‘Hey, can we take a picture? ‘” she explains herself.
The two agree that Pietro has to change how he deals with the fans as soon as they are accompanied by their child. Even his older son Alessio noticed the crowds of fans, says Lombardi. That opened his eyes.
