From the moment 28-year-old Alina Rothbauer first came across our screens in Netflix’s ‘Love is Blind: Germany,’ it was evident she was looking for something calming and serious. After all, following a few failed relationships in the past and the negative effects of her exposure in the public light – you might have recognized her from ‘Lost Souls on Christmas (2016) – she was ready to start anew. Little did she know this would lead her right to 27-year-old Ilias Pappas, whose honesty, as well as vulnerability towards her at every step of the way, led them to fall in love.
Alina and Ilias Developed Trust Over All Else
While both Alina and Ilias stepped foot into this experiment a bit hopeful yet cynical, they felt a spark almost immediately when they came across one another in the pods. That’s because not only did they like the sound of each other’s voices, but they also shared similar beliefs and values that could help them lay a strong foundation for their relationship. The truth is that once Ilias found out his date on the other side of the wall was spiritual, he did pull back a little before conceding he never was spiritual until he realized there are some possible things that he believes in overall.
However, things for Ilias changed a little when he subsequently met Hanni Hase because he was equally as attracted to her, if not more, despite their conversations not going that deep. They were more flirtatious than anything else, which is why the latter eventually ended up choosing Daniel Rocco for herself – Ilias was her second pick, and he remained that. On the flip side, Alina and Ilias continued growing their connection to such an extent that the latter knew he had to be honest with her about his past, especially since she was big on spirituality, fidelity, and monomgamy.
Ilias actually conceded that he had cheated in a relationship in the past when he was 19, an action he has no excuse for but one he believes he will never repeat again. Listening to his honesty without any prompt, Alina realized she had grown to trust him in a way she had never trusted a man before, resulting in them getting engaged. Their first face-to-face meeting went exactly as we expected it to, with them being the epitome of adorableness, but things changed almost as soon as they left for their getaway. Not only did Ilias make many sexual comments and advancements, but he then also began flirting with Hanni upon finding her physically attractive.
Things between Alina and Ilias were truly rocky at one point owing to the way he was keeping his options open, yet she still stayed because she had indeed developed true feelings. However, by the time they had spent a few days in the real world, the former was at the end of her rope and candidly told her partner to think about what he truly wanted, making him realize he would end up losing everyone if he let his insecurities come in the way. Hence, he chose to focus on his fiancee alone, despite still being unsure whether he was ready to commit forever since he was still waiting for the other shoe to drop – he could not fathom how Alina could be so perfect for him.
Alina and Ilias Are Enjoying Their New Life Together
Although there was a point when we couldn’t even imagine Alina and Ilias walking down the aisle, they actually worked hard on their relationship to ensure they could make a sound decision when the time came. So, in the end, following several serious conversations regarding beliefs, expectations, and family lives, the couple ended up not only standing at the altar together but also promising one another forever. Since then, from what we can tell through their online platforms, they have been building their new life close to his hometown of Ascheberg, all the while also making the most of their youth by traveling the world.

The Eglharting resident has truly managed to accomplish a lot for herself and her loved ones, but what’s even more important is that she currently appears to be at peace with where she stands. She has friends and family who care about her more than she can ever imagine. She is in a position to take advantage of the opportunities presented to her and travel, and she is a proud dog mom. As if that’s not enough, she recently even moved into a new home, indicating a new, bigger beginning for her and one that she is incredibly proud of.
