Pop Duo Neonlicht Members Get Engaged on ZDF's 'Giovanni Zarrella Show'

In a surprising turn of events during the "Giovanni Zarrella Show" on ZDF, Julian Fiege of the pop duo Neonlicht proposed to his partner, Nadine Ellrich. Fiege knelt and presented a ring, to which Ellrich initially responded with a hesitant "No, no!" before joyfully accepting with a "Yes."

You can't describe it. It feels like another world, where what you've always wished for is happening.

Ellrich, 28, described the moment as feeling "like another world, where what you've always wished for is happening." Fiege, 31, had reportedly planned the romantic gesture for months. The "Giovanni Zarrella Show" holds significance for the duo, as their shared history began with appearances on both this show and "Fernsehgarten."

The couple met in 2021 during a casting call and officially became a couple in early 2023. Despite the potential for millions to watch the televised proposal, Ellrich felt the moment was intensely private, stating, "I had the feeling I was alone with Julian." She couldn't imagine a more beautiful proposal.

Coinciding with the "Zarrella-Show" broadcast, Neonlicht released their new song "Komm wir lassen los" (Come, let's let go). The couple plans a civil ceremony next year in Meiningen, Ellrich's hometown in Thuringia, followed by a church wedding in Fiege's native village of Studenheim in the Palatinate region. A date for the church wedding has not yet been set.
