German actor Jannik Schümann appears to have come out in a social media post – while simultaneously going Instagram official with partner Felix Kruck.

Congrats, both!

The 28-year-old posted a picture of the pair embracing on the photo-sharing platform yesterday, along with a love heart. German media have largely called the post Schümann’s ‘coming out’ moment.

Today, on Instagram Stories, Schümann thanked fans for their response to the picture.

“I have read every single message”

“I am overwhelmed by all the messages, comments and the love you give us,” the star said.
