Sarah Lombardi (born Sarah Engels 15 October 1992 in Cologne, North Rhine-Westphalia) is a German singer. She is best known for participating in season 8 of Deutschland sucht den Superstar, where she was eliminated from the Top 10, only to return two shows later and eventually become the runner-up.
Engels also participated in season 7 of Deutschland sucht den Superstar but was eliminated during the recall after her duet with Eugen Flittner. In season 8, she was eliminated in the first Live Show. Later on, she was asked to come back because RTL chief Tom Sänger (not the voters) had eliminated Nina Richel from the show, allegedly for health reasons.
Pietro Lombardi's brother posted a semi-nude picture of Engels after she had used Pietro's mobile phone to talk to girls. After hearing about what Sarah had done, Lombardi's brother Marco decided to take "revenge" by sharing this semi-nude picture of Engels.
Sarah married Pietro Lombardi in March 2013, and changed her name from Engels to Lombardi. On 19 June 2015 their son was born. Sarah and Pietro announced their separation in October 2016.
