In January 2012, they appeared as the special musical guests on Fox’s hit TV series Glee where they performed “Smooth Criminal” in the Michael Jackson tribute episode.

In late 2012 and early 2013, a second 2CELLOS album, In2ition, was released.

After the release of the second album, Hauser spent several years touring, either as a member of 2CELLOS or with Elton John. A third album was released in early 2015 called Celloverse, just prior to a 38-city US tour.

From 2014 through 2016, Hauser performed with Oliver Dragojević on at least five occasions, including the 2014 Split Festival, with Luka Šulić appearing briefly to join them, in free concerts in Rakalj and on Korčula, also in 2014, and as a guest at 2CELLOS’ 5th anniversary free concert in Tomislav Square in Zagreb in 2016.

After 2CELLOS’ 2019 US tour, the duo took a one-year break, to work on solo classical albums for Sony Music and to tour individually.

Hauser Cello Wife

As far as what has been reported, Hauser hasn’t officially disclosed about his relationship status. But in one of his interviews with Nova RS in 2022, he talked about his image of a seducer in Croatia.

He related to the many women falling for him, saying, “I like that compliment because it is mutual. Like I said, I love women, women love me. That’s our magic match. We won’t lie; it’s true. I don’t mind that title.”

In the same interview, he also expressed his love for women and said he would “fulfill their wish.”

“Brandy, kebabs, and Serbian women. I adore women; I love women, and women love me. Chelo is my wife, my lover, my partner, my life companion. And very often, women ask me if they can be my forehead – and then, what am I going to do? I have to fulfill their wish,” he boasted, relating to his ‘Rebel with Cello’ performance pipelined in Belgrade.

His social media is filled with his melodic tunes and collaborations. His recent performances have also featured numerous gorgeous women, which obviously angered the fandom, who loved to see Benedetta and Hauser together.

In one of his posts titled “Story of a Love,” where he is seen playing for a masked woman on a boat, one fan wrote, “Nothing without Benedeta, all the others are pale copies.”

But many also think Benedetta and Hauser collaborated a few years back, and nothing was going on between them romantically. Another fan commented,” But Hauser had just a music collaboration for some songs years ago with this singer! Also … all the women in his life were and are amazing! Arrogance is not beautiful!”
