Seit acht Monaten lebe ich bei Oliver Pocher im Keller (Pietro Lombardi)

Pietro Lombardi on Friendship and Loyalty

Pietro Lombardi says success can reveal who your real friends are. At the height of his music career, many people wanted to be around him, and he helped others build their careers. But when scandals damaged his public image, some of those people kept their distance—only to reconnect once he was back on television.

Pietro says he won’t name names, but makes clear that he values loyalty over networking. He contrasts that behavior with Oliver Pocher, whom he describes as a dependable friend who stays by him in good times and bad.

Living in Oliver Pocher’s Basement

Pietro reveals that after splitting up with Laura, he had nowhere to live, so Oliver offered him a room in his basement. Pietro has been staying there for eight months.

The hosts are surprised that a multimillionaire is living in a friend’s basement. The conversation turns to jokes about spiders, old children’s toys, and whether Pietro brings dates back to Oliver’s house. Pietro explains that he is often away for work and mainly uses the room to sleep. He and Oliver have also supported each other before, including when Oliver’s home was flooded.

Co-Parenting with Laura

Pietro and Laura share children and have become better at co-parenting since separating. They now treat each other with more respect and have fewer hurtful arguments.

They have also tried couples therapy, though Pietro found it difficult to open up and stopped attending. He says they still care about each other, but often communicated in different ways and drifted apart while focusing on family life. For now, they spend time together as a family without putting pressure on themselves to reunite.
