Bill Kaulitz’s Netflix series fuels controversy with ex‑flirt Jannik Kontalis

The third season of the Netflix documentary‑reality series "Kaulitz & Kaulitz" premiered on 23 July 2026, offering new footage of twins Bill and Tom Kaulitz. The season shows Bill attending a baby‑care class, adopting a French‑bulldog named Alvin, and discussing his difficult childhood, including episodes of queer‑related violence that he later recounted in a Stern interview. Financial speculation about the twins’ net worth continues, with unverified estimates of €20 million each.

A major storyline in the new episodes centers on Bill’s past relationship with reality‑TV personality Jannik Kontalis. In response to Tom Kaulitz’s criticism of the fling, Kontalis posted on Instagram, demanding Tom “Werd’ erwachsen!” and lamenting the brother’s remarks. Kontalis wrote, “Ich war immer ehrlich, zuvorkommend… Jetzt zu sehen, wie er … traurig,” while Tom warned Bill before Kontalis arrived in Los Angeles, saying the former reality star was “ein schlechter Kandidat aus dem Trash‑TV.”

Outside the series, Bill’s public profile sparked a separate buzz when he was mistaken for his sister‑in‑law Heidi Klum at a red‑carpet event, prompting Klum to comment on social media about his uncanny resemblance.
