"Reiner Calmund admits to sacrificing personal life for his daughter's sake"
Reiner Calmund, the former football manager of Bayer Leverkusen, has undergone a remarkable transformation in recent years. His life took an unexpected turn when he visited an orphanage in Thailand and felt a deep affection for a 15-year-old girl named Nicha. Calmund adopted Nicha in 2013, and the bond between them is evident.
In a heartwarming moment, it seemed as if Nicha was encouraging Calmund to adopt her, looking at him with a warm and encouraging gaze. However, their journey together was not without challenges. Initially, Nicha did not want to leave Calmund's wife Sylvia's side. But with time and love, she has become an integral part of their family.
Calmund's life took another unexpected turn in December, during the recording of an episode of "Grill den Henssler." The nature of the incident was not specified, but it led to a stent being inserted at a Cologne hospital. Despite the setback, Calmund expressed enthusiasm about his role on the show, saying, "That would have been fun!"
The incident happened before Calmund embarked on his weight loss journey. Motivated by the desire to spend many more years with Nicha and to be agile and mobile for his old age, Calmund lost over 85 kilograms. He now weighs 95 kilograms, a significant achievement for anyone, let alone a man in his sixties.
Calmund's weight loss journey has been well-documented, and he and Nicha have even posed for the magazine "Bunte." His determination and resilience are inspirational, and he continues to be an example of how one can overcome challenges and transform their life.
In March, RTL announced Calmund's departure as a juror on "Grill den Henssler." But Calmund is not slowing down. He is now fully recovered and living in Saarlouis, enjoying his new life with Nicha. His story is a testament to the power of love, determination, and resilience.
