She gained fame through her appearances on popular reality TV shows like “Deutschland sucht den Superstar” (DSDS) and “Are You the One?”. Since 2020, she’s been in a relationship with Mike Heiter, a fellow reality TV personality. Laura Morante’s journey is a tale of perplexity and burstiness, marked by her unique path to fame and the controversies that have surrounded her.
Early Life and Career
Born on December 3, 1990, in Essen, Laura Morante is a fascinating blend of Italian and Spanish heritage. She is a trained hairdresser, which was her profession before she ventured into the world of reality television. Her first foray into TV came in 2012 when she appeared on the show “We Love Lloret,” adopting her stage name, “Lory Glory.” Little did she know that this would be the beginning of her unpredictable journey in the limelight.
DSDS and the Quest for Stardom
In 2019, Laura Morante decided to try her luck on “Deutschland sucht den Superstar,” the German version of “American Idol.” She made a memorable entrance wearing a pink outfit, complete with a matching pink wig and cotton candy. Laura Morante was known for her eccentric style, declaring, “I like unusual things, not the standard stuff.”
Despite having taken singing lessons and having prior experience with her own band, her distinctive appearance couldn’t secure her a spot in the recall round. Even though music mogul Dieter Bohlen was intrigued by her uniqueness, it was not enough to advance her in the competition.
Are You the One? and the Pursuit of Love
A year later, Laura Morante returned to the screens, this time as a contestant on the first season of the RTL dating show, “Are You the One?” The premise of the show involved participants being matched up by experts to find their perfect matches.
Laura Morante was paired with “#CoupleChallenge” participant Aleksandar Petrovic, identified as a potential perfect match. However, a lack of romantic chemistry meant that Laura and Aleks left the show as friends, not lovers. The unpredictability of her romantic journey added to the burstiness of her TV career.
A Complicated Love Story with Mike Heiter
Laura Morante’s personal life has been equally perplexing and bursty. She has known Mike Heiter since their school days, and they had an on-again, off-again relationship before ultimately breaking up in 2017 when Mike started a relationship with Elena Miras on “Love Island 2017.”
Mike and Elena were together for three years and have a child together. In 2020, their relationship ended, and shortly after, Laura Morante and Mike Heiter found their way back to each other. The rumor mill churned with speculations about whether Laura and Mike had a romantic involvement during Mike’s relationship with Elena, further adding to the perplexity surrounding her love life.
The Reality Star Continues to Shine
In 2021, Laura Morante took her reality TV career to another level as she joined the cast of the RTLZWEI show “Kampf der Realitystars” (Battle of the Reality Stars).
This show brought together well-known TV personalities, including “Bauer sucht Frau” star Narumol, Gina-Lisa Lohfink, and her then-boyfriend, Mike Heiter, as they competed for a prize of 50,000 euros. Laura Morante’s presence in the show showcased her ability to navigate the bursts of reality TV stardom.
