In a heartwarming turn of events, Christian Wolf, a 29-year-old fitness entrepreneur, has proposed to his girlfriend Romina Palm, 25, in a surprise engagement that took place in Vienna. The couple, who have been officially together since November 2023, is not only celebrating their love but also preparing for the arrival of their first child, a daughter, expected in just a few weeks.
On April 19, 2025, Christian orchestrated a romantic proposal at a rented wine cellar in Vienna, where approximately 40 close friends and family members gathered to witness the special moment. Romina, who was completely unaware of the plan, expressed her joy and excitement after saying "Yes" to the proposal. "I really had no idea my fiancé could be so romantic," she shared emotionally on social media, alongside images capturing the evening filled with love and celebration.
Christian described the moment as one filled with nervous excitement. "I was so anxious, almost let it slip! But in the end, it was the surprise moment I had hoped for," he told BILD. He emphasized that he had no doubts about his decision, stating, "If you feel someone the way I feel about her, all doubts disappear. I knew it felt right for both of us.”
Romina echoed Christian's sentiments, saying, "I don’t have to play a role in front of him. I can share everything with him – and know he’s there. He is my safe haven and my home.” She also revealed her desire to take Christian’s last name, viewing it as the final step to complete her happiness.
The couple's engagement comes just weeks before they welcome their daughter, who is due around May 17, 2025, in a hospital in Bavaria, where Christian's sister works as a doctor. Despite the location of the birth, the couple plans to split their family life between Cape Town and Cyprus, where Christian is currently building a villa for their growing family.
Christian’s desire to propose before the birth was clear. "It’s about ‘us’ – soon we will be three together. I wanted her to feel that consciously one more time,” he explained. Both Christian and Romina have a history of previous engagements. Christian was previously engaged to influencer Antonia Elena, 32, with whom he shares a son, Noah, born in March 2024. Their relationship ended before Noah’s birth, as they had separated earlier that year.
Romina, on the other hand, was engaged to chef influencer Stefano Zarrella, 34, in July 2021. However, their engagement ended in March 2023 after three years together. Reflecting on her past experiences, Romina admitted that her previous engagement had diminished her perception of the magic surrounding such commitments. "I was honest with you – even if it sounds unromantic. I was once engaged, and somehow that took away the ‘magic’ behind it. I always had a rosy idea of being engaged. In the end, nothing changed,” she shared on social media earlier this year.
Despite her initial skepticism, Romina hinted that Christian might open up a "whole new world" for her. Their relationship blossomed quickly after Romina’s split from Stefano, and by November 2024, the couple announced they were expecting a child together.
As the couple prepares for their wedding, they envision a celebration that reflects their genuine love. Romina expressed a desire for a relaxed atmosphere where everyone can dance barefoot in the sun, making it a day that feels as real as their love for each other.
Christian and Romina’s love story is a testament to the idea that sometimes, true happiness comes after navigating through complexities and past relationships. With the excitement of their upcoming wedding and the birth of their daughter, it appears that this couple is ready to embark on the next chapter of their lives together.
As they step into this new phase, the couple looks forward to building a life filled with love, family, and shared dreams. With Christian’s unwavering commitment and Romina’s heartfelt joy, their future together seems bright and promising.
