She speaks for the first time. Adriana Karembeu is on the cover of Gala magazine, released on newsstands this Thursday, March 9, 2023, where she poses with her daughter Nina, born from her union with Aram-André Ohanian. While the couple announced their separation last December, the host and model opened up about her new life as a single mother.
“I wouldn’t say that I feel like a teenager who is discovering the world, but there is a bit of that state,” the fifty-year-old star told our Gala colleagues. The opportunity for the star (née Sklenarikova) to speak out about the reasons for her divorce from the father of her daughter, which surprised her fans. “For people, yes. But Aram and I made the decision together a while ago. It’s a separation of heart but not of life. We remain united in everything that concerns our daughter. We absolutely want to preserve her “, she emphasizes in the magazine.
Further, Adriana Karembeu believes that “the evolution of the couple” got the better of their life together. For her, people and situations change over time. “Other desires may arise,” she added before concluding. “And if things are no longer going well, why should we sacrifice ourselves? It’s never pleasant to say goodbye, but a relationship that ends is not necessarily negative.”
It must be said that 2022 ended with sadness for Adriana Karembeu. After a long affair with businessman André Ohanian, the host and model announced their separation on December 27. News that the forty-year-old made official in a message to her fans on social networks.
“It is with a heavy heart that I write these few lines,” wrote Adriana Karembeu in her story on Instagram, revealing a sober black and white photo alongside her future ex-husband. “Twelve magnificent years spent together… I was thrilled at every moment. I have never laughed as much as at your side. Our story was beautiful and I loved it so much…”.
A long story which is now combined with the past, before the actress seen in Plus belle la vie (in 2021) reveals the choice of their separation. “However, today, we decided together to take separate paths… Love will never die. You gave me the most beautiful treasure… our Nina”, testified the mother of the family before concluding . “You are and always will be.” An announcement which probably surprised fans of the host and accomplice of Michel Cymes.
After the failure of her marriage in 2011 with footballer and 1998 world champion Christian Karembeu, the great Slovak Adriana Sklenarikova (her real name) found happiness in the company of Armenian entrepreneur André Ohanian. However, the romance almost got off to a bad start. “When I met him the first time, in Marrakech, I didn’t see him,” she admitted to Gala in August 2021, before continuing. “Then I found him arrogant.” It will then take time before he changes his mind about his companion. “Then I got to know him. To love, I need to admire,” she assured our colleagues.
From their first appearance at the Roland Garros tournament in 2012 to their first red carpet, the following year, at the Monte-Carlo TV Festival, Aram-André Ohanian and Adriana Karembeu appeared with complicity in front of the photographers. After their marriage in 2014, they welcomed their daughter Nina in 2016.
To our colleagues from Paris Match in 2019, the host of Extraordinary Powers of the Human Body admitted that her husband was “a great dad, very vigilant, who neglects nothing”. Today, the two parents seem to have remained on good terms for the education of their six-year-old offspring. Last February, the family attended the Nice carnival.
Several years after the announcement of their separation, Adriana Karembeu made new revelations for Ciné-Télé Revue. In an interview published this Thursday, May 9, the one who was the victim of an attempted rape by a director revealed in particular that the health crisis played a harmful role in their relationship.
“The Covid has changed a lot of things in my relationship”, according to comments cited by Télé-Loisirs. “My husband experienced it very badly because all our activity, which revolved around tourism and catering, stopped. But I experienced it very well, because I found myself only with my daughter . I wasn’t working and I loved it. My husband was the complete opposite.
