Berlin – Tom Beck and Chryssanthi Kavazi, both prominent figures in the German entertainment industry, have captured the public's imagination with their remarkable love story. This couple, who have been together for ten years, initially ignited their romance not in a film set but at the Elfenbein Lounge, a well-known club in Cologne.
Beck, 47, recounted during their appearance on the popular cooking show 'Grill den Henssler' that they were introduced by a mutual friend. "We were introduced to each other in a club, and I had just asked, and then Katrin, our friend, said: 'Come on, I'll introduce you, I think she is also an actress'" he remembered. Chryssanthi, 36, best known for her role in the television series 'GZSZ', was also taken back by the sudden introduction.
The chemistry between them was instantaneous, but no kiss followed that evening; Beck had plans. "I flew to Mallorca with my friends the very next day," he joked. This leap of faith to the sunny island might have delayed their potential romance, but it also lent an enchanting aura to their story.
Fast forward to today, the couple, parents of two children, continue to navigate their lives with humor and warmth. Their journey together spans a decade of love, laughter, and professional collaborations, including their work on the television show 'Einstein' and the film 'Male Day'. "It’s like the rest is history now,” Chryssanthi said, reflecting on their bond.
Their recent participation in 'Grill den Henssler' marked a milestone, being their first show together. "This is unique for us since we usually split our tasks at home," Chryssanthi admitted. The couple, balancing parental duties and their careers, revealed that one of them typically watches the kids while the other cooks. With their son aged five and their daughter just 11 months, they have hands full at home.
Despite the challenge, they find their rhythm in the kitchen. "We are an established team when it comes to cooking. No one can take the butter off our bread,” Beck jokingly stated. However, the couple also relied on modern conveniences, frequently opting to order food via app, especially for dinner. Chryssanthi specializes in fried dishes and minced meat recipes, drawing from her Greek heritage, whereas Tom enjoys being resourceful with leftovers, often crafting stews from what’s available.
On Sunday, they will showcase their culinary skills on 'Grill den Henssler', presenting a dish dubbed the Baklava-Croissant with dried plums, apples, and dark beer-vanilla sauce. Their concoction aims to impress the jury, including Jana Ina Zarrella, Bruce Darnell, and Christian Rach. "We can’t wait to show what we can do!" Kavazi exclaimed excitedly, hinting at their competitive spirit.
This delightful couple exemplifies how mutual support and humor can create a lasting partnership. As they continue to build their lives together, their story serves as a reminder that love often requires a little effort and a dash of patience. They are a true testament to the adage that sometimes, it takes a bit of help from friends and a sprinkle of luck to find enduring love.
Fans are eagerly awaiting their next cooking adventure this Sunday, March 23, 2025, at 20.15 Uhr on Vox, hoping to glean more insights into their dynamic relationship while also cheering them on in the kitchen.
