Xander in love chaos: Can women trust him?
At a time when reality TV is captivating more and more viewers, the current season of "Are You The One? Realitystars in Love?" (VIP AYTO) in the starting blocks, and with it the controversial Xander Stephinger. The 27-year-old, who already became known from the second season of “Make Love, Fake Love”, has not only established himself as a striking character, but is also a topic of conversation in the first edition, which started on August 13, 2025 on RTL+. In Franconia reports that Xander is known for his dazzling decisions and his eventful love life, especially because he left his then-girlfriend Lisa Postel for Antonia Hemmer in 2024.
His abrupt end to love also attracted attention; At the “Reality Awards” he was named “Faker of the Year” in 2024. Another drastic event was the birth of his first child in early 2025, but from a third woman who is not Lisa or Antonia. In the “Blitzlichtgewitter” podcast, Lisa pointed out that women might show interest in Xander in the hope that men can change too.

In the first episodes of VIP AYTO in Thailand, which promise lots of drama and excitement, Xander describes how wary the women are towards him. Among other things, they ask him about his controversial past. In an exciting twist, Xander says his goal is to find the “perfect match” within the cast. “After all, that’s the point of the show,” he said. Nevertheless, candidate Viki called him a “Red Flag” in a video, which Xander vehemently denies.
The fifth season of “Are You The One?” is occupied by a total of 21 singles, including ex-stars from other reality formats such as “Love Island” and “Too Hot To Handle”. Xander himself explains that he wants to make women feel good and have fun. Overall, prejudices and his complicated past prevent him from being perceived as a “hooker” type, which may not be entirely acceptable to him.
