Here’s what we know about Marius von Hagen’s boyfriend, Luke Pearce

by Alyssa Park

Three days ago, Stellis’ hottest bachelor made a bombshell announcement—he’s no longer single. This came as a shock to almost everybody and their mom and even their dog. After all, the youngest von Hagen has a notorious reputation for being a playboy, as he’s constantly spotted wine-ing and dining the city’s rich and elite men and women alike. In fact, rumor has it that he “got around” back when he was a student in Florence.

Marius von Hagen himself has never made any comment over this public image of his—until now, that is. In a small press conference about something wholly unrelated to his love life, a gutsy reporter had asked if settling down with a partner was something he had in his future plans. And lo and behold, Marius had simply shrugged, easygoing as always, and said:

“Settling down is a bit too far in the future, for now. I mean, I’m only 27. But I’ll discuss it with my boyfriend. Luke and I have been together for 5 years already, it’s high time we talked about it.”

Girl, WHAT!?

He would later confirm that his boyfriend’s name was Luke Pearce, and boy, that’s all I need to do some good ol’ fashioned Big Data Lab stalking.

So, here’s what I found out about Luke Pearce.

1) He owns and runs an antique shop as well as his own detective agency

The first result that comes up when you search up his name are his two businesses! Luke runs a cozy little antique shop called Time’s Antiquities down in South Stellis. Reviews for his shop are hilariously mixed, with the positive ones commending his restoration skills and the shop’s varied stock, but negative ones constantly complaining about the opening hours and how there seems to not be any. The shop opens when it opens, and closes when it closes. How Luke Pearce manages to keep this business afloat through this model, I don’t know, but he does it anyway.

Maybe it’s because this isn’t his only business venture—in the same building, on the floor right above Time’s Antiquities, is Pearce Private Investigations, which is exactly what it says on the tin. That’s right, readers: Luke Pearce is something of a Sherlock Holmes. And his reputation as a PI precedes him! After a little bit more digging, I uncovered forums and posts from his past clients, all raving about his expertise and skills. He’s genuinely a high-esteemed professional, in the private investigation world. Wild.

2) He graduated from Stellis High School at 16 years old and was quite the biology genius.

Now it’s time for a blast from the past! This little tidbit was one I uncovered while scouring through academic sites and their news features, and everything I found leads to this fact—Marius von Hagen’s boyfriend is a nerd.

Luke was a consistent honor student all throughout elementary school and high school, and when he was still in the latter, he was chosen as the school’s representative for a biology olympiad in Prague. Can you imagine being so smart as a teenager that your school sends you to effin’ Prague?

He won, by the way. He won the biology olympiad. Look at this adorable photo of him getting his medal.

[IMG: A screenshot of a photo of Luke Pearce, notably younger, being bestowed with a medal. He has a bright and sunny smile on his face.]

The cuteness aggression is real.

3) He has a pet bird.

(Can you tell I’m running out of material here? Bear with me.)

This fun fact is brought to you by me going crazy and getting to Big Data Lab 5th results page. BUT there’s this pretty famous attorney, Rosa Qiangwei, who you may know as the lawyer who defended Marius von Hagen in court when he got accused of murder. Remember how that happened? God. Wait, I’m getting off topic.

Anyway, Rosa seems to be friends with Luke, because on her Instagram are photos of him and her and Marius. It’s no secret that Marius von Hagen kept in touch with Rosa after the trial, evident by how they’ve been spotted out and about in the city (which also garnered dating rumors between the two), but she’s also connected to Luke somehow. Maybe Marius and Luke met through her? We can only speculate…

Anyway, back to the damn bird.

In many of Rosa’s IG photos, Luke is seen with a chunky looking Myna bird perched on his shoulder. So it’s either he’s a Disney princess who attracts random woodland animals to his person, or that’s his pet. I’m pretty sure it’s his pet.

[IMG: A screenshot of one of Rosa’s IG posts, depicting Luke Pearce doing a peace sign with a bird perched on his shoulder.]

Anyway, that’s all the internet has to offer. You’d think I’d at least be able to find his Twitter or Instagram or his old Neopets account or something, but nope. It seems Luke Pearce is either a very private person or he just doesn’t like being on the internet, which, good for him, y’know? He’s probably out there touching grass, like you and I should be doing, but obviously aren’t.

Marius von Hagen himself has urged the public to respect his and Luke’s privacy, which is all well and good, obviously don’t, like, IRL stalk any of them. But it’s normal for us to want to know more.

Here’s to hoping they do an interview together in the future!

Guys, I met Luke Pearce

Before anybody calls me a stalker, no, I am not. This encounter was wholly unexpected and I’m not even on Twitter or Tumblr or TikTok or whatever. Like, I don’t live under a rock. I know that he’s Marius von Hagen’s boyfriend, but I don’t really care for celebrity news. I also that the internet is down atrocious for him, but I myself have never directly participated in that fuckery. So don’t call me a stalker.

Anyway, how I met him was because my grandfather wanted me to go to this antique shop in South Stellis to pick up a hard drive of some film photos he had digitally restored. We could’ve had it picked up and delivered, but this was important to my grandfather, so he wanted to get it in person. But on that day, his leg started acting up and walking was difficult for him, so I went instead. I figured it would be a quick errand!

So I go in the antique shop and it’s a nice place. Warm vibes, filled with whosits and whatsits galore, that kind of stuff. I was expecting the person behind the counter to be around my grandfather’s age, but nope. It was a guy in his maybe late 20s, there on the front desk tinkering with gadgets and gizmos aplenty. And, again, I don’t live under a rock. I knew it was Luke Pearce when I saw him, but I didn’t wanna make things weird or anything, so I just went over and asked for my grandfather’s order.

He was… incredibly nice and welcoming immediately. He perked up and excused himself to fetch the item. I suddenly understood all those Tweets calling him a dog. He really does kinda remind you of a dog.

But it’s when he returned… that’s when things took a turn.

He did an amazing job restoring my grandfather’s photos. For context, these photos got super water damaged from a leak we had in our home, and they were really special keepsakes. They were photos of my grandfather’s younger days: when he was going through school, when he met my grandmother (who has now passed), when he started a family with her and was raising my mom. It honestly broke my heart to see them damaged, but I knew my grandfather was feeling even worse about it.

When Luke showed me the digitally restored photos, it was like they were brand new.

They still had that tinge of time passing, of course. Still yellowed and crinkled, and he didn’t do any weird shit like smoothen out the wrinkles or make people look like like perfect androids. He just. He restored them to what they used to be. Looking through everything—my grandfather’s life, essentially—made me really emotional.

I decided to be hashtag vulnerable in that moment: I told him he did a wonderful job and that this meant a lot to our family.

And guys, what he said in response…

I can’t remember it word for word, I’m 34 years old, I don’t have a brain that can do verbatim transcriptions. But he said something beautiful about how keepsakes aren’t just items, but memories, and that memories should always be cherished like the treasures they are because they’re part of the tapestry that makes us whole. Or something like that. HE SAID IT WAY BETTER THAN I DID BUT

God, I almost physically swooned.

You must understand that while he was talking, he was kinda gorgeous. I get why people called him “average” looking before his hot bod was revealed but. When he talks about something he clearly cares about, it’s like you can see that all that care and love just pouring out of his smile, his eyes.

By that point I knew I had to get out of there before I did something stupid like ask for his number (and risk the fury of a Marius von Hagen scorned).

…I did ask for a selfie though, before leaving. So you guys wouldn’t call me a LIAR either.

[IMG: A woman in her mid 30s posing next to Luke Pearce, who has a soft smile on his face and a peace sign raised using his right hand. Oddly enough, there’s a little glint of light on the fourth finger of his hand.]

THEN I got out of there. I thanked him profusely, took the hard drive, and went back home.

And he left an impression on me that I’m sure I’ll never forget.

agentsherluke
This is the kindest review I’ve ever gotten. It was a pleasure to bring your grandfather’s memories back to life. Thank you so much, and I hope you drop by again!
