Chryssanthi Kavazi and Tom Beck: A Dynamic Duo Making Waves on and off the Screen
The beloved couple celebrates their decade-long romance and prepares for their appearance on 'Grill den Henssler'
Chryssanthi Kavazi and Tom Beck, two beloved stars of the German entertainment industry, have captivated audiences with their talent and charming relationship for over ten years. Known for their roles and projects, the couple has become celebrated figures both as individuals and as partners. They share their experiences of parenthood, cooking, and love as they prepare for their upcoming appearance on the popular show 'Grill den Henssler.'
Born on January 28, 1989, Chryssanthi Kavazi grew up as the youngest of four siblings, nurtured by parents who operated a Greek restaurant. After completing her education, she initially embarked on a career as an industrial mechanic at Volkswagen before venturing boldly onto the stage. She studied at the Film Acting School Cologne between 2012 and 2014. Kavazi's breakthrough came in 2017 when she secured the lead role of Laura Weber, popularly known as Laura Lehmann, on the long-running RTL soap opera 'Gute Zeiten, schlechte Zeiten.' This role has made her one of the most recognizable faces on German television.
While she relishes her role on 'Gute Zeiten, schlechte Zeiten,' Kavazi took time off for significant life events. She paused filming during her pregnancy, which began around late 2019, and once again when she joined the cast of 'Let's Dance' early this year. "It is exciting to showcase my skills on the dance floor and allows me to share who I truly am with the audience," she mentioned upon her entry to 'Let's Dance' where she danced alongside Vadim Garbuzov.
Despite facing harsh criticism, including worrying about her performance being judged, she showed resilience, leaning on her support system, especially her husband Tom Beck. "I truly appreciate Tom; he has been my rock throughout this thrilling yet difficult period," she said finally.
Beck and Kavazi’s love story began when they met at the Ivory Lounge club in Cologne. They were introduced by mutual friends, and though sparks flew initially, it wasn’t until later they truly connected as they both traveled for work. After secretly dating for two years, they revealed their romance, which received mixed public reception, but they've persevered together through it all. "I wanted to establish my identity before being recognized as someone’s partner," Kavazi noted about their early relationship dynamics.
The couple tied the knot with heartfelt ceremonies on August 18 and August 25, 2018. Celebrations took place initially at the local registry office and later at their church wedding held at the Greek Orthodox church, culminating with festivities at her parents' Greek restaurant.
The couple, now proud parents to two, welcomed their son shortly after tying the knot and their daughter was born on April 21, 2024. Chryssanthi excitedly shared their parenting approach, noting they mutually decide to 'speak their mother tongue' with their children – she speaks Greek, and Beck speaks German.
Fast forward to March 16, 2025, when both will grace the screens once again for 'Grill den Henssler', on this occasion, as contestants. "We realize our responsibilities at home and split household duties clearly; typically, one of us cooks, and the other takes care of the kids," Kavazi discloses, emphasizing their effective teamwork yet light-heartedly admitting they often order takeout.
Returning together to the culinary stage, Beck and Kavazi are hoping to impress the judges with their creative dish: Baklava-Croissant with dried plums, apples, and dark beer vanilla sauce. The couple is ready for the challenge and hopes to showcase their culinary chemistry just as they do life together.
Fans have remained supportive, and there is much excitement surrounding their featured episode of 'Grill den Henssler', which starts broadcasting at 20:15 pm on Vox. The episode will be available for preview on RTL+ seven days prior to the live air date, causing buzz among their followers.
