The bad life crisis is behind him

He is certainly not the most elegant dancer of the current "Let's Dance" season, yet Olympic champion Lars Riedel (44) has a large fan base. The 1.99-meter giant touches the hearts of the audience, and the jury ladies Maite Kelly (32) and Motsi Mabuse (30) love the sensitive giant. What nobody knew: After the divorce from his wife Kerstin in 2005, the discus thrower was over. Lars Riedel : "I had lost everything, was seriously shattered inside. My zest for life was gone. I drove around for months only in the area. I had no real place of residence. "The loss of his house in Chemnitz and the separation of son Robert (today 14) plunged the strong man into deep depression:" I was able to put myself well in people who drive in an extreme situation against a tree or jumping from a bridge. If you lose the most important thing, your family, your son, then the meaning of life is destroyed. "It did not go up until 2006, when he met Katja (36). The athlete now lives with her on the Tegernsee and enthuses: "I am surrounded by pure nature. Here my soul found peace again. The green, the flowers, the plants, that's a perfect world. "In the meantime, Lars Riedel has also come into contact with his son again. And daughter Emma Luise was born in December. She makes his luck perfect. No matter what happens to him on "Let's Dance" - at home, his little family is waiting to give him so much power.
