On New Year’s Eve, Sarah Engels took center stage at the ZDF Silvester show "Willkommen 2025," captivating her audience with charm and humor. The event, which took place at the iconic Brandenburg Gate in Berlin, marked another milestone for the multitalented singer and actress, who continues to capture the hearts of fans.
Engels, who has successfully balanced her career with motherhood, shared her excitement about performing on such a prestigious stage. "It’s unbelievable!" she exclaimed, recounting how she watches the ZDF Silvester show every year, and how performing there had always been her dream.
During the broadcast, Engels engaged warmly with the show's hosts, Andrea Kiewel and Johannes B. Kerner, sharing amicable banter and personal anecdotes. Kiewel praised her, saying, “Ganz toll hast du das gemacht, mit richtig Power!” This connection not only showcased Engels' talent but also her genuine persona, which resonates well with her audience.
Behind the camera, it's evident Engels shares joy not just through her performances but also through her life off-stage. After her separation from her former husband, Pietro Lombardi, she found happiness with footballer Julian Büscher. The couple now enjoys family life with their children, Alessio and Solea. On social media, Engel takes her followers behind the scenes, accumulating around 1.8 million supporters eager for glimpses of her life.
During one lighthearted moment during the show, Kerner suffered a slip of the tongue, causing viewers to gasp. Initially, he began to mention something about “Holiday on Ice” but quickly caught himself, glancing nervously at Engels as if he had mistakenly spilled upcoming secrets. Fortunately for him, Engels was quick to ease the tension, assuring him, “Stimmt! Das darf ich aber schon sagen.” This light-hearted exchange brought laughter to the studio and showcased the friendly rapport among the hosts.
The night continued with Engels embodying the spirit of the celebration. Her playful nature extended to her personal life, where she recently shared a humorous video on Instagram featuring her husband, Julian. Surprising him with her nighttime beauty routine of applying a facial mask, she elicited his honest reaction of, "Das sieht so schlimm aus," to which he jokingly suggested she could cut out her mask from paper to save costs.
One fan reflected the audience’s sentiments, commenting on their delightful chemistry: "Ihr seid so süß zusammen. Herrlich, wie schön es doch ist, wenn man so lachen kann." Such comments accentuated the joy and authenticity of their interactions, much appreciated by followers who see beyond the typical glamorous presentations often seen on social networks.
Despite the many hats she wears as entertainer, wife, and mother, Engels remains down to earth. Her candidness and humor resonate widely. Not afraid to showcase her real self, she embodies the idea of imperfection being charming. It's this genuineness—sharing laughs and playful jabs on social media—that keeps fans engaged and supportive of her artistic endeavors.
For 2025, Engels hinted at new projects, shared her aspirations for her foundation, and confirmed she is working on her next album.
