Diego Pooth, the son of German media personality Verona Pooth, is currently making waves on RTL's hit dance show 'Let's Dance'. Born on September 10, 2003, he stepped onto the dance floor not only with talent but also with substantial familial influence, aiming to carve out his own identity away from his famous mother.
The young model and former aspiring golf pro is competing alongside renowned stars like Simone Thomalla, Jeanette Biedermann, and Christine Neubauer. Diego Pooth, who stands at 1.95 meters tall, has attracted attention both for his skills and his public persona. On his Instagram, Diego frequently shares glimpses of his life, from professional modeling photos to candid moments on the golf course. Yet, he keeps his romantic life relatively private, with no confirmed imagery of his girlfriend making it onto his social media accounts.
Despite the lack of public acknowledgment, Pooth confirmed during an interview with RTL's Katja Burkard his relationship status. "Ja, ich habe eine Freundin,” Diego said, indicating he is taken but humorous about his dancing prowess, declaring, “Ich bin Null ein Tanz-Toni” (I am definitely not a dance expert). This self-deprecatory acknowledgment highlights his approach to the rigorous demands of his new venture.
Diego's girlfriend, whose identity remains undisclosed, has shown her support for his dancing ambitions, even if she isn't the best dance partner herself. “Die findet es cool, die ist ganz locker. Sie hat gesagt: Mach das, du wirst das bestimmt gut machen und enttäusche mich nicht,” he added, emphasizing the encouragement she provides as he embarks on this challenging new path.
Before participating in 'Let's Dance', Diego investigated avenues beyond sports, transitioning his aspirations from professional golf—where he attended sport school for two-and-a-half years—to pursuing studies at Berlin’s CODE University, focusing on Digital Entrepreneurship. He reasoned, “Die Konkurrenz ist enorm groß” (the competition is extremely high), expressing the reality of few athletes making it to the top within the sport.
Not resting on his parents’ laurels, Diego entered the modeling world at 14 and recently gained acclaim by showcasing his work during Milan Fashion Week for designer Philipp Plein. This fashion debut, he hopes, could serve as the cornerstone for his future career. His burgeoning entrepreneur spirit is also evident, with plans to launch a personalized dietary supplement line before his university graduation.
Being raised amid the glamour of celebrity, Diego naturally has found his own space within the public interest. His well-connected mother supports him but instills the importance of independence. “Natürlich können meine Eltern mir Türen öffnen... aber durchgehen muss ich am Ende selbst,” he said, underscoring his desire to chart his own course rather than relying solely on family connections.
While Diego has been spotted attending numerous events with his famous mother, from charity galas to television appearances, he now steps firmly onto the stage as his own person. His participation on 'Let's Dance' is more than just another role; it’s his potential launchpad for establishing himself firmly within the entertainment industry.
His family undoubtedly plays a significant role in his life. Although Diego is trying to distance himself from his mother's image, he admires her openly, calling Verona
