The Bachelor 2025: Felix Stein and the challenge of love!

On June 18, 2025, it finally starts: "The Bachelors" returns to television with new faces and fresh challenges. The RTL dating show goes into its next round and brings two charming bachelors to the romantic arena. Felix Stein, 32 years old and from Berlin, and Martin Braun, 35 years old from Troisdorf, face the exciting task of finding the right one from a total of 26 candidates. It seems that it will be an exciting pleasure that many can follow on RTL+ on both TV and streaming. Since June 11, 2025, the first episode can be streamed in advance on RTL+, while the regular appearance begins at 8:15 p.m.

Felix Stein, a versatile photographer and creator with a passion for fashion and football, has a hard time in the Berlin dating jungle. He says of his experiences: "The dating in Berlin is quite a horror". The high number of tourists and the extensive city make it difficult for him to establish real connections. Felix does not use dating apps because the almost endless selection rather deter him. The one who has lived as a single in the past 5 years now has a different vision: "The phase in which I didn't want to bind myself is over." His 5-year-old son, whose mother Avelina Boaten is, is "the absolute content of my life" for him, and although he plans not to look at the show with him, he thinks of "cool" dates in the show.

another bachelor in the round

Martin Braun also brings interesting properties to the show. The insurance and financial assistant is active in sports and loves to try new recipes in the kitchen. He has been single for 3½ years and will also make his way through the candidates as exciting. At the end of the season, not only the many challenges of digital dating, but also the everyday hurdles of relationship care.

When the season in 2024 ended with Dennis Gries and Katja as well as Sebastian Klaus and Larissa, only Dennis and Katja remained together as a couple. It will be interesting to see if Felix and Martin will be lucky enough to find a real connection. The high pressure and the public that go hand in hand with the format cannot be denied, and many singles have concerns about the influence of such formats on their own dating experiences. According to a Parship survey, 50% of men are afraid that reality shows can negatively influence their own dating life.

candidates in the spotlight

Among the 26 candidates there are many impressive women who are also willing to prove themselves in this exciting dating environment. Names like Ann-Kathrin, who works as a PR consultant, and Aylin, who runs a cosmetics branch in Munich, show the variety of participants. Students, event planners and managers are also there, which makes the selection exciting for the Bachelors. Every woman brings her own stories and backgrounds, and the sympathies can change quickly.

With the fresh start of the season, expectations are high, and nobody knows better than those involved how important authenticity is on such a show. In fact, surveys show that a significant number of singles, especially women, feel intimidated by the unreality of the shows. This shows how the real pressure to come together, can have a positive or negative effect.

"The Bachelors" promises to take us to the world of modern dating again - and we can be excited to see who will end up with the heart of one of the Bachelor. With the attractive mix of drama, romance and the challenge to flirt among the cameras, the entertainment value is guaranteed. Be there when it comes to love on June 18, 2025!

RTL reports that a total of 10 episodes. According to Ok Magazin are the bachelors full of anticipation and a few expectations, and Parship shows how these shows influence our love life.
