BRAVO: What is going on there with Marta? How did you get to know each other? RICHIE: A few weeks ago Jay and I were in a bar in Berlin. Marta sat at the table beside us. A common friend has introduced us to each other. She was immediately likeable to me and then I have asked her whether she may go out for dinner with me. I'm a normal guy and so I sometimes just go out with nice girls. BRAVO: How often have you met? RICHIE: Sometimes. I didn't count. BRAVO: Why is it Marta? RICHIE: There is no certain reason. I thought she's cute. But it could also have been another girl. She was at the right time at the right place. BRAVO: Marta is six years older than you. Has this been a matter for you? RICHIE: This made no difference to me. If a woman is likeable to me, then her age doesn't matter for me. BRAVO: There is a Kiss-Picture of you! RICHIE: Yes. Is this forbidden? BRAVO: No, but let's ask in that way: How far is your relationship? RICHIE: At the moment I would call it a friendship. BRAVO: Friends? We spoke with Marta, and she is totally in love with you! RICHIE: Really? How cute, but actually we have remained in such a way that we have no chance for a steady relationship. Also because we would meet each other so infrequently. My music, US5 and my family stand in the foreground for me. I am not in love with her. BRAVO: So all-clear to the fans! You have no Girlfriend? RICHIE: No (laughs)! I hope that the fans trust me! I am 18, I travel with a Band around the world, have almost no down time and if I have it sometimes, I would like to have a little bit fun. I can talk about everything with Izzy, Chris, Mikel and Jay, but they cannot give me what a woman gives. BRAVO: Did you have sex with Marta? RICHIE: It's my business, what happens behind closed doors. This concerns only her and me. I won't talk about it in publicity. BRAVO: But there are rumours that Marta should be pregnant from you ...? RICHIE (laughs): Pregnant!? Okay, indeed there were more than only Kisses - but pregnant?! I cannot imagine this. Up to now she has told me nothing about it. BRAVO: In the last two years you have always told that you want to go maiden into marriage and that you're looking for the true love...has something changed about it? RICHIE: I'm still looking for the true love. And, otherwise, I can only say: I also change. How I handle with my values and images, is as private for as my love life. But I stand by all what I have said and have done and I regret nothing! BRAVO: Did you already know about her naked pictures? RICHIE: Naked pictures? Which naked pictures? BRAVO: Marta has posed for photographs without clothes. Have you not seen the pictures yet? RICHIE: Ähm... NO! BRAVO: Are you angry now? RICHIE: In addition I would have to unterstand for a moment, why she has such photos. But basically I do not find such a thing so great. BRAVO: Have you already seen her naked? RICHIE (laughs): I don't want to express myself to this... BRAVO: Do you have, Marta and you, spoken with each other, since the topic is so hotly discussed? RICHIE: I have quite briefly called her up before my flight in the USA. In the new year we will sit down and speak about everything. Before I can't judge the whole situation. Indeed I'll give her the chance to explain me everything. BRAVO: Are you not angry about Marta telling the press about your relationship? RICHIE: I can imagine that she's been asked from a journalist and she has told a little bit too much about our relationship. I cannot say anything bad about her and I would never do this!
HERE THE MODEL MARTA SPEAKS: Only few hours after the interview with Richie we reached Marta in her native country Poland...
BRAVO: How do you picture the relationship with Richie? MARTA: I defenitly want to know him better. BRAVO: Do you wish a steady relationship with Richie? MARTA: Yes. I am so in love with him. But the time must show, what will become of us. BRAVO: What do you like at Richie? MARTA: He is so nice. And funny. When he donated me the roses in the Restaurant, I have almost died from luck. I just like it to be together with him. I like to talk with him. BRAVO: But there shall be more passed between you and Richie than only one entertainment. You have told to a friend of you, that you had sex with Richie. And your friend told us. Did you really have sex with Richie? MARTA (laughs): I just say: If someone thinks, that Richie is gay - he is defenitly not! All the rest ist a private thing between me and him. BRAVO: There is a rumor you should be pregnant! What do you think about it? MARTA: I don't want to tell anything about it. Before I have to talk with Richie. BRAVO: Richie confessed us, that he is not in love with you. How do you feel now? MARTA: Did he say this? Yes, of course it makes me very sad: I had the impression, that he feels something for me, too. But I want to talk with him personaly, before I pull premature ends now.
This is supposed to be written in the new BRAVO (Germany)
Bravo: It is said Marta is pregnant... Richie (laugh): Pregnant? Allright, we didn't just kiss - but pregnant? I couldn't imagine. Well... she didn't tell me anything... Bravo: Did you sleep with Marta? Richie: What happens behind closed doors is my matter. That's only my and her business. I won't speak in public about that.
