Shortly before moving in: Jungle camp participant Sam Dylan’s father-in-law dies

Rafi Rachek, the partner of jungle camp participant Sam Dylan, has to cope with a stroke of fate in his family. The 35-year-old announced on Instagram that his father had died.

Eating worms in the jungle camp will soon start again: the 18th season of “I’m a Star – Get Me Out of Here!” starts on RTL on January 24th.

Reality TV star Sam Dylan is also in the middle of preparations these days. His partner Rafi Rachek, on the other hand, is currently having to cope with a stroke of fate in his family.

“I wasn’t the son you wanted”

The 35-year-old announced on Instagram that his father died unexpectedly.

“Forgive me for not being the son you always wanted, because I didn’t choose to be the way I am,” writes Rafi Rachek. An indication that the father may have had trouble with the fact that his son is gay.

The post continues: “We didn’t have the best contact, but you were still a wonderful father. Even though I couldn’t show it to you, I loved you immensely. Your suffering is finally over and now you are in paradise. From today on you will be everywhere.”

The reality TV star, who won the RTL show “The Summer House of the Stars” with his partner Sam Dylan last year, accompanied the text with a picture in which he is holding his father’s hand.

Rachek: “Nothing lasts forever”

In the past few days, Rafi Rachek’s social media had been surprisingly quiet. Now it is clear why this was the case.

“Nothing lasts forever,” wrote Rachek and also announced that he would now be going offline for an “indefinite period of time”.

Sam Dylan also confirmed the death on Instagram. He writes that he is “infinitely sad” about the loss, even though he never met his partner’s parents in person.
