Tired of their son's antics, his parents sent him to a boarding school for a year. This measure helped: the guy became more collected and serious, was able to graduate from school with excellent grades and enter the economics department of the university. Music is in the foreground Along with his studies and hooligan antics, the energetic Dieter managed to study music - he played the guitar from the age of 10, and soon began composing his own songs. True, his parents did not like this hobby; they wanted their son to get a serious profession, and not “strum” the guitar.
The guy, however, had his own opinion on this matter. The number of songs he wrote increased, but there was no one to sing them - Bohlen was aware that his vocal abilities were clearly not enough to perform. With his songs, he visited many recording studios, until one day he found Thomas Anders, who was advised to audition him at Hansa. It happened historical event- Thomas and Dieter found each other, the Modern Talking duet was formed.

In 2004, rumors appeared that on the Modern Talking albums the voice of Thomas Anders was allegedly partially duplicated by Nino de Angelo. By this time, against the background of attempts by former backing vocalists of Dieter Bohlen to promote their own project Systems in Blue, statements began to appear that in Blue System Dieter Bohlen sang only in verses, and in the choruses the vocals of the studio singers of Systems in Blue were used. Anders stated that the inability to use the same vocals further was the reason for the closure of the Blue System project. However, for example, in the first Blue System album it is easy to see that both the verses and choruses are performed by Bohlen himself, and there are backing vocals from other band members.

On the second single, Bolen performs one of the songs in a duet with Mark, and Mark’s second disc became a joint album of two musicians: Dieter not only wrote the music, but also sang some vocal parts. The third album also contains Dieter's vocals.
All the albums that Dieter Bohlen wrote for Medlock occupied high positions in the charts in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. The collaboration with Medlock ended in 2010.
In 2010, Dieter began collaborating with the “queen” of the German hit Andrea Berg. The released album "Schwerelos" reached number one in the German charts.

Dieter Bohlen, " driving force” and the “creative center” of the “Modern Talking” duet, has always been the opposite of his partner Thomas Anders, not only in appearance (unlike the brunette Thomas, Dieter is a light blond). Energy and temperament always overwhelmed him; as a result, not only high creative fertility, but also a rather stormy and rich personal life (cannot be compared with the modest Thomas!).
Almost Slavic
Dieter has been restless since childhood. He is nine years older than Thomas (born February 7, 1954), his hometown- Oldenburg. It is interesting that one of Dieter’s grandmothers is from Konigsberg (Kaliningrad), so he considers himself “almost a Slav”... Dieter himself admits that he was a difficult child: he was a hooligan, ran after girls and caused his parents a lot of trouble. The future pop star was kicked out of school twice, and he even had to spend one year in a boarding school. Only after this the guy came to his senses, graduated from school with excellent grades and even entered the university to study economics. His parents categorically did not want Dieter to study music, but already at the age of ten he began to compose his own songs, playing the guitar.
By 1983 Dieter wrote great amount songs and even managed to interest some record companies. But for a long time he could not find a good singer who would perform these songs (Dieter Bohlen’s own vocal abilities are very modest). The Hansa company helped Dieter - there was a vocalist who had already performed several of his songs, but had not achieved success with them. The guy's name was Thomas Anders... Further events known. Together, Dieter and Thomas achieved world fame, separated, got back together and broke up again... An interesting fact: at the beginning of 1989 in the Soviet Union, Dieter Bohlen was awarded the “Most Successful Artist in the USSR” award! No one else (not even the Beatles and ABBA) has been awarded this title. In 1987, Dieter created his own project “Blue System”, which turned out to be almost as successful as “Modern Talking”. And there have always been (and continue to be) legends about the “adventures” in Dieter’s personal life...
"Treasure Island"
Dieter Bohlen married for the first time in 1983 - even before he became a pop star - to a girl named Erica. Before this, the couple lived together for several years. The wedding turned out to be unconventional: the bride and groom came in jeans, and the whole event was held in a casual “hipparian” style.
The family life of Erica and Dieter cannot be called happy: the marriage did not calm the blond heartthrob, and Dieter constantly cheated on his wife. Nevertheless, the couple managed to produce three children: sons Mark, Marvin and daughter Marilyn. After 11 years, Erica got tired of her husband’s spree, and the couple divorced. True, now their relationship is quite calm and friendly, no one forbade Bohlen from communicating with children (especially since, according to the contract concluded after the divorce, Dieter is obliged to give 15% of all his income to support the family).
According to the musician, off stage he is an ordinary father who cannot resist the whims of his children. Photo: globallookpress.com
The main reason for the divorce is Nadia Abdel Farah (Bohlen himself called his beloved “Naddel”), with whom the singer began dating while still married to Eric. A beautiful and spectacular girl, born into an Arab and German family, Nadya worked in the modeling business, and after meeting Dieter she became a backing vocalist in Blue System.
They lived together for several years, although they never got married. Nadya tried to create comfort for Dieter, prepare delicious food and please him in every possible way. However, could the quiet family rear keep Dieter from a new novel? In 1996, Dieter married another beauty, Verona Feldbush.
The girl was not a simpleton - she worked as a model from the age of fifteen, received the title “Miss Hamburg”, then “Miss Germany”, and also “Miss American Dream”. At the time of her wedding with Dieter, she worked as a TV presenter - she hosted her own program: an entertainment show. The wedding took place in Las Vegas (in this cheerful city many “sudden” and short-lived star marriages were concluded), at the Treasure Island Hotel - in a small chapel on the fifth floor, designed specifically for such weddings... True, Dieter later said: “ Ten minutes after I gave my consent to the marriage, I wanted to take the elevator back to the fifth floor to call it off.”
The most humble in the world
The saying “what happens in Las Vegas stays in Las Vegas” was true this time too. The marriage did not last long: Dieter divorced Verona the same year. The beauty did not grieve at all after breaking up with the singer: she opened another television talk show"The World of Verona", she was soon called the "Sex Symbol of Germany". In addition, during the divorce, Verona got a Jaguar car and half a million German marks. What about Dieter? Dieter... returned to his faithful friend Nadya - and she took him back! She still hoped that Bohlen would appreciate her all-forgiving love and become an exemplary family man...
Hopes were in vain. Every now and then Nadya learned about the “hooliganism” of her beloved, and one day, opening a newspaper, she saw photos taken by the paparazzi of Dieter vacationing in the Maldives with a young girl... Returning home, Dieter, to his credit, did not hide anything. He admitted to Nadya that he did not see a future together with her and was leaving for that same girl, Estefania Küster.
Estefania (or, as she is also called, Steffi) was noticeably different from Dieter’s previous passions. The daughter of a Paraguayan TV presenter and a German chemical engineer, a graduate of a monastery school, has nothing to do with show business... “My new girlfriend twenty-five years younger than me. What does she see in me? - Dieter confessed. “Good sex and a nice, smart man - very sensitive and attentive.” And, undoubtedly, unusually “modest”, isn’t it?
Estefania started talking about the wedding, but it turned out to be “one-sided.” Photo: Getty Images
Hero of our time
In 2002, Dieter Bohlen practically “blew up” the German book market by releasing his book “Nothing But the Truth,” where he told many details from his life. And about “Modern Talking”, and about quarrels with Thomas Anders and his girlfriend Nora, and about their wives and girlfriends... Professional writers and critics loudly criticized Dieter Bohlen’s “masterpiece”, saying that it was not a book at all, but waste paper and it's worthless. But this only fueled the interest of readers: the circulation exceeded a million copies, and Dieter eventually became “Man of 2002” in Germany!
He is truly called a “hero of our time.” 30 years have passed since the collapse of Modern Talking, and Dieter is still in the public eye, and even constantly throws up topics for gossip and does not even think about disappearing from view. He is about to write a second book, and also directs the program “Germany is looking for superstars.” “And I’m also a good father! - he claims. “I just have a super relationship with my children!”
In August 2005, Dieter became a father for the fourth time: Estefania gave birth to his third son, who was named Maurice Cassian. However, Estefania never succeeded in marrying Bohlen. Obviously, two previous marriages developed in the “bully lover” something like an allergy to marriage... In one of joint interviews, answering a question regarding marriage, Estefania stated: “We often talk about marriage.” Dieter immediately retorted: “No, dear, you often talk about the wedding!” The conversation apparently remained one-sided.
