  • Star designer Philipp Plein has become a father for the fourth time.
  • His son Hurricane Thor Thunder was born in Lugano.
  • The child's mother, Andreea Sasu, is Plein's ex-girlfriend and current partner, while his other children are from previous relationships.
  • Plein reports that he witnessed the birth and that his patchwork family works well.

Star designer Philipp Plein is a happy father: the 46-year-old fashion designer became a dad for the fourth time on Saturday. The mother is Andreea Sasu (34). Sasu is Plein's ex-girlfriend and now his partner again.

Plein's baby boy number four is called Hurricane Thor Thunder - no joke. The child is doing well and was born in Lugano. "Hurricane Thor Thunder Plein! 3.1 kg. 50 cm. I'm so proud," says Philipp Plein to Bild.

The fashion dad was present at the birth, as he told the German newspaper: "I think that's more than natural. I provide support. I monitor everything. And pray that everything goes well."

Hurricane was born in the same hospital in Lugano as his brothers Halo Ocean (2) and Rouge Sky Galaxy (8 months). The two boys come from Plein's relationship with ex-girlfriend Lucia Bartoli.

Patchwork family

Plein had already made headlines in recent months with his fatherhood news. It was only in October 2023 that he had a second child with his then partner Lucia, with whom he had been in a relationship for five years.

In March, it was then announced that he was going to be a father again - albeit with his ex-girlfriend. At the time, the designer said that he and Lucia had made the decision to separate together.

Then there is Plein's eldest son Romeo (10). He comes from a relationship with Fernanda Rigon (42). The couple separated shortly after Romeo was born. The mother stayed in Brazil with the baby.

Philipp Plein tells "Bild" how his patchwork family works: "Lucia lives with the boys five minutes away from me. I often spend the night with her and sleep in the same bed as the boys."

And now Hurricane is coming soon. Philipp Plein wants to bring the newborn home in a day or two.
