Patrick Müller: Celebrating 20 Years of Love and Family from “Unter Uns”

A Journey into Love and Success

For two decades, Patrick Müller, a heartthrob of the beloved RTL soap opera “Unter Uns,” has not only captured the hearts of his audience but also found his lifelong partner on set. The 36-year-old actor fondly recalls how the show provided him with a unique opportunity to meet Joy Abiola-Müller, his wife and co-star. Their love story blossomed amidst the high-paced environment of the series, and together they now celebrate 15 years of marriage and parenthood with three adorable children: Loki, Lovis, and Javis.

Building Family Happiness on a Strong Foundation

In an interview, Patrick shed light on the significance of his steady role in the series, citing it as fundamental to his family’s stability. “A secure job is hard to come by in this industry. It allowed me to start a family,” he explained. Patrick emphasizes that his personal happiness is intertwined with his professional journey, stating, “This show gave me my wife, and I’ve had my furry friend Stinker by my side for 15 years in front of the cameras. Now that’s pretty special!”

Love Behind the Scenes

Patrick and Joy’s romance began when they were both in their early twenties. Reflecting on their younger days, Patrick shared, “We met at just the right age. Our hormones were in full swing, and shooting the soap often felt like a charming school trip.” Their shared experiences not only nurtured a romantic relationship but also aided their personal growth. However, he admits that navigating both love and work came with challenges. “Of course, we got on each other’s nerves sometimes due to our frequent interactions. But navigating these rough patches helped us redefine our relationship,” he recalls.

A Full House of Love

The Müller family embraces a grounded lifestyle amidst their busy schedules. With three kids and two dogs, their home is bustling with energy. “We enjoy being engaged parents. Joy serves as a parent representative, while I’m on the committee board of our children’s daycare,” Patrick disclosed. Joy has since transitioned from acting to a flourishing career as a tattoo artist, which allows her to maintain flexibility and closeness to the family.

Parenting with a Balanced Approach

Balancing work and family life is essential for Patrick. “I want to be present in my children’s lives and address their problems as they arise,” he says. The production team at “Unter Uns” also supports this balance, demonstrating understanding towards family commitments, which has contributed to Patrick’s long-standing role.

The Next Generation of Stars?

Intriguingly, one of the Müller kids might walk down the same path as their parents. Lovis, their six-year-old son, is already showing an interest in acting. Patrick noted, “Lovis has been exposed to the industry from an early age and has expressed desires to act.” While he aims to support his son’s ambitions, he is also cautious, wanting to ensure Lovis is not pushed into the spotlight. “We want to guide him gently and not become the next ‘Ochsenknechts.’ If he truly wants this, we’ll be there to help him,” Patrick affirmed.

Conclusion

As Patrick Müller celebrates 20 incredible years with “Unter Uns,” his journey illustrates the profound connection between love, family, and career. Patrick and Joy’s partnership serves as a heartwarming testament to navigating the complexities of life while keeping family happiness at the forefront. The couple’s story resonates with many, encapsulating the essence of true love blossoming in the spotlight. As they look forward to what the future holds, one can only imagine the wonderful memories yet to be made in their ever-growing family.
