The documentary‑reality series “Born Famous – Fluch oder Segen?” premiered on ProSieben and Joyn in July 2026, following four children of well‑known German public figures – Gloria‑Sophie Burkandt (daughter of Bavarian Minister‑President Markus Söder), San Diego Pooth, Summer Terenzi and Josefine Scholl – as they negotiate personal ambitions under the weight of their families’ fame. Burkandt, a 27‑year‑old model, influencer and guest lecturer, repeatedly stresses the difficulty of being seen beyond her father’s political stature. She describes men being intimidated by Söder, whom she calls an “Alpha‑Man”, and condemns sensationalist media probing her private life. She also highlights the contrast between Söder’s public fast‑food Instagram posts and his private diet of salad, fruit and vegetables, which she dismisses as a “vegan‑erger‑thing”. The series revisits her earlier revelations about severe school bullying that forced her to wear shin‑guards and an eating disorder that left her at 59 kg despite a height of 1.85 m. Recovery was aided by an 88‑year‑old couple, Inge and Erich, who acted as “replacement grandparents”. Burkandt says she feels both fear and respect toward her father, stating, “Am meisten Angst und Respekt habe ich vor meinem Vater”. She emphasizes that age is irrelevant in her love ~~life,~~ life and ~~that she~~ seeks an independent partnership rather than a surrogate father figure. In a later August 2026 interview she declares she would be willing to assume the German chancellor’s office, citing a desire to help weaker people. She notes she has been financially independent since her teens, earning through brand collaborations, university teaching and media work, and emphasizes self‑reliance as a core value. Regarding rumors of a romance with former Google CEO Eric Schmidt, she declined to comment, stating, “Whom I date and whom I do not date, with whom I am only friends, etc., is nobody's business.”
