After more than 30 years of friendship, Daniela Alfinito is experiencing newfound love with her partner Thorsten, who has stepped directly from the sidelines to star alongside her in her latest music video.
Interviewed on January 3, 2025, on the show "Die Schlager des Monats" with Christin Stark, 53-year-old Alfinito opened up about the origins of their romance, which only sparked recently. "Es hat einfach gematcht, plötzlich," she expressed, illustrating the moment when their long-standing friendship transformed dramatically.
This transition has been punctuated by Thorsten's involvement in the music video for Alfinito's latest song, "Glühwürmchen". The song, featured on her current album, "Blick nach vorn," was filmed in picturesque Croatia. Despite having recorded some parts of it prior to their romance, Daniela felt the video was missing something. "So ganz fertig ist es noch nicht," she noted, explaining her desire to complete the narrative of the song, which has themes of love. Recognizing the personal significance of the song to both of them, she suggested Thorsten join her on camera.
When Daniela posed the idea to him, artistic enthusiasm quickly followed. His response was just as enthusiastic: "Ja, überhaupt kein Problem!" With plans cemented and excitement in the air, they set out to film together.
The picturesque Croatian backdrop provided beauty, but the filmmakers faced unexpected challenges; filming occurred during chilly temperatures. "Es war sehr kalt," Daniela recalled, as they endured the cold for the sake of capturing what they described as heartfelt moments. But among the uncomfortable temperatures were warm sentiments, and the creative teamwork deepened their bond immensely.
"Wir haben das einfach gemacht," she stated, illustrating not only their professional collaboration but also their emotional connection. With Thorsten by her side, Daniela is enjoying every moment of her personal and professional life, experiencing the joy of love and their collaborative efforts.
Over the years, Alfinito has been celebrated for her contributions to the German Schlager music scene. Her resilience and creativity shine through her music, which resonates deeply with fans. Now, with Thorsten's support and presence both on-screen and off, she sees the future filled with optimism and happiness.
With the video for "Glühwürmchen" already creating buzz among fans, Daniela Alfinito's relationship with Thorsten is undoubtedly captivating for her audience, marking both a personal milestone and artistic expression of their love story.
