Bingo Rimér48, and Julia Franzén, 33, dated briefly in 2020 before Julia jumped into The Bachelorette where she searched for love. The relationship between Bingo and Julia ended – but on Valentine’s Day 2022, it was clear that Bingo and Julia were a couple again.
Before Bingo entered the relationship with Julia, he was together with the entrepreneur for many years Katrin Zytomierskawith whom he had two children – the sons Ringo and Rambo.
At the beginning of Bingo and Julia’s relationship, they spent a lot of time with Katrin. The trio traveled together, celebrated holidays together and had standing Tuesday dinners. But in the reality series Bingo & Julia, viewers began to notice how the relationship began to become increasingly strained between Bingo, Julia and Katrin.

In one segment Julia tells, among other things, how she undergoes an IVF process. Something that Katrin thought was boring to talk about.
– Just so boring, unnecessary and uninteresting, Katrin said about the topic of conversation.

For 10 years, Bingo and Katrin had the Relationspodden together, but after many infected fights and tours, they shut down the podcast. Instead, Bingo is now podcasting with Julia Franzén, and the first episode was released today.
There, the duo answers the listeners’ questions, and something that many are curious about is what actually happened between all three and what the relationship looks like with Katrin today.
– Yes, but it’s good. I haven’t seen you (Bingo, ed. note) for a month, I haven’t had any contact with Katrin since yes but since I last saw her. But there is nothing difficult there. It is not, says Julia Franzén in the podcast.

The last time Julia and Katrin met was in mid-March 2024 when Bingo and Katrin hosted the Relationship Podcast live on Cirkus.
Bingo gives his view on the matter:
– Actually, that question is very simple. We are all very different. Katrin is as she is, I am as I am and you are as you are. And sometimes it clashes when you have different views on things. And it’s actually completely natural. What I experience. My personal opinion and experience regarding Katrin, which I find difficult, is that she has no nuances. It’s either good or bad. Angry or happy. And I find that difficult, because sometimes it would be nice if everyday life could be a little more friction-free with her. That you could only find…Okay, now we’re driving! That’s what I find difficult on a personal level. Not knowing what she should think about things. So maybe you have done something and she thinks it was really bad. Yes, it was a shame, says Bingo i The relationship podcast.

Bingo says that Katrin’s hard attitude and tone is something that has sometimes caused friction between the trio.
– The thing that can clash is that I’m kind of not used to that tone or what to say, says Julia in the podcast.
Bingo agrees with Julia, comparing Julia to a “cute chihuahua” and Katrin to a pit bull.
– There is no conflict. It’s just that we don’t hang out that much. We are simply very different. Then someone asked why there aren’t Tuesday dinners and trips and stuff together, says Julia.

There is a very logical explanation for the fact that the joint dinners ended up in the sand. Bingo says that the sons’ football and other activities have meant that there is simply no time anymore. He tells us that they still see each other during dinners, but in slightly more spontaneous ways and not so excitedly.
– We have our dinners together when there is something specific and we have no problem socializing, but we don’t socialize to the same extent and we don’t have a standing dinner like we used to, explains Bingo.
– And that’s because life changes, says Julia.
