Lovelyn Chinwe Enebechi (born 21 October 1996) is a German-Nigerian fashion model, best known for winning the eighth cycle of Germany's Next Topmodel.[2]

Germany's Next Topmodel

Enebechi was chosen from 15,500 applicants to be one of the final 25 finalists of cycle 8 of Germany's Next Topmodel. Ultimately, she was crowned the winner of the competition during the cycle's live finale on 30 May 2013, beating Maike van Grieken. As her prizes, she received a spread in and cover of German Cosmopolitan, an Opel Adam, a modeling contract with ONEeins Management,[3] a €250,000 cash prize and an apartment in a fashion capital of her choice.

Early life and education

Enebechi was born on 21 October 1996 in Hamburg, Germany, to a Nigerian father and a German mother.[4] She attended Heinrich-Heine-Gymnasium in Hamburg, where she completed her Abitur.[5] She is of Nigerian descent on her father's side and plays basketball in the W17L team of SC Alstertal-Langenhorn.[6]

Career

Following her victory on Germany's Next Topmodel in 2013, Enebechi signed with ONEeins Management and later moved to PMA Models in Hamburg, an agency she had worked with prior to her competition win.[7] She appeared at the Berlin Fashion Week and worked with several brands before gradually stepping back from the public spotlight to complete her education.[8]

She appeared at the Germany's Next Topmodel finale in 2025 alongside other former winners of the competition.[9]

Personal life

In March 2022, Enebechi and her then husband Toni Weigel welcomed their son Levi.[10] The couple later separated approximately one year after their son's birth.[11]
