Bill Kaulitz, the charismatic frontman of Tokio Hotel, has made a point of living and loving outside conventional labels. Known for his striking image and evocative music, Kaulitz treats relationships as part of his artistic expression—fluid, defiant, and not limited by traditional gender expectations.
In a reflective 2015 interview with Advocate, he summed up that unpredictability: “Love is such a beautiful thing, and I love that you have no control over it. I never know what’s going to happen or who I’ll meet. It’s about finding the person you want to be with, and it doesn’t matter what gender that is.”
That outlook extends into his work. The Tokio Hotel single Love Who Loves You Back, released in October 2014, draws directly from his belief that love isn’t confined by gender or expectation.
Describing the song and its visuals, Kaulitz said he wanted the video to reflect that range. “It would’ve been stupid if I just had a pretty girl next to me or making out with a pretty girl the whole time. That wouldn’t reflect the song.” He expanded on that idea in the video’s casting choices:
That’s why in the video I wanted to have someone who is a little bigger, someone who is hairy, someone that’s older, someone that’s young.” He champions the idea that love cannot be controlled and emphasizes that one does not choose who they fall in where with.
Kaulitz has also been open about the darker moments in his romantic life. In a 2014 blog post he wrote bluntly about being hurt: “Heartbroken, completely destroyed—the worst kind of heartbreak you can imagine. Betrayed, cheated on, taken advantage of.”
Adding another layer, he has discussed being in a polyamorous relationship with his best friend and his girlfriend—an arrangement that mirrors his resistance to rigid relationship models.
Given his public statements about gender fluidity and non-traditional partnerships, Kaulitz appears unlikely to fit into the conventional “wife” narrative many fans speculate about. He continues to live and love on his own terms, embracing the unpredictable nature of relationships.
Bill Kaulitz: Past Romances and Speculation
Currently, Kaulitz is concentrating on his work and is reportedly single. He and his brother Tom Kaulitz are collaborating on a Netflix project titled “Kaulitz & Kaulitz,” which is scheduled to debut on June 25, 2024. The eight-episode series promises an intimate look at their lives in Los Angeles and Germany, showcasing their relationship as siblings and creative partners.
With his career taking priority, it’s a good moment to look back at the 34-year-old’s romantic history.
Natalie Franz
In 2008, reports linked Bill to entrepreneur Natalie Franz, the founder and CEO of Magic Stripes. Although rumors of a romance circulated, the two have since remained close friends and often appear together on social media, underscoring a long-standing connection.
A post from @TOKIOexclusive on January 9, 2017, on X (formerly Twitter) shared a mirror selfie taken in Berlin, Germany, highlighting the enduring friendliness between Kaulitz and Franz long after dating rumors subsided.
Kim Paradise
Also in 2008, Bill was the subject of gossip involving German model Kim Paradise. That speculation was never substantiated, and there’s no verified evidence the two were romantically involved—or that they even met.
Lisa Vanderpump
On July 20, 2015, Bill Kaulitz was photographed with TV personality and actress Lisa Vanderpump. The pair left Sur Lounge in West Hollywood arm in arm, sparking immediate media attention; Sur Lounge is an upscale restaurant co-owned by Vanderpump.
They were photographed smiling as they headed to their car, which intensified the speculation. Still, it’s worth noting Lisa Vanderpump has been married to Ken Todd for more than four decades.
Gianluca Fellini
Rumors picked up steam after Bill posted an Instagram photo showing Gianluca Fellini kissing the top of his head, prompting talk of a possible relationship.
Multiple sources later clarified the moment was a friendly greeting celebrating their reunion after eight years apart, and it was not indicative of a romantic involvement.
Tom Kaulitz, Bill’s Twin, Created a Tinder Profile for Him
In a playful act of sibling support, Tom Kaulitz set up a Tinder account for his twin brother Bill. The moment was shared on Tokio Hotel’s official YouTube channel on February 11, 2022.
The clip unleashed a stream of matches on Bill’s profile, but he stayed discerning — hoping to find someone who could challenge him and make him laugh.
The story took a whimsical turn when Bill matched with Tim, who also liked turtles. Their exchange got offbeat quickly: Bill suggested meeting up to talk turtles, and Tim replied by offering to show his stamp collection, a quirky but charming way to kick things off.
