For the first time in years, the host of France 2 addressed the issue, in a long interview with Paris Match this week. Today, she and Christian no longer have any relationship, confided the ex-top, and for a long time: “Since the day we left each other, we have never spoken or seen each other again” .
Adriana and Christian still have nothing that could unite them. The couple, in fact, never had children. ” I could have [avoir un enfant avec Christian], yes, but it didn’t come, I wasn’t ready, I was thinking too much. It’s Aram [Ohanian, son ex-mari] who managed to convince me to stop ruminating and become a mother,” she explained to our magazine. The last vestige, only his surname still bears witness to the past relationship. “I built myself with this name by which everyone knows me. It’s sort of my stage name, like an artist. And the law authorizes me to keep it,” she explained. “Angela Merkel still bears her first husband’s name, even though she divorced him. Christian’s is part of my identity. »
Love at first sight in the sky
Their love at first sight had struck in the sky, on a flight from Milan to Paris. Spring 1996. Adriana Sklenarikova jumps from one fashion week to another. On the plane, his neighbor asks him how tall he is. The model responds (185 cm, including 120 legs) without really paying attention. All men start with this question… Out of politeness, the conversation continues. What does he do for a living? Footballer, answers Karembeu. For the Slovaks, she will say, it is more of a game than a job.
The environment of Sampdoria de Genoa piqued his curiosity, especially as he is very simple with it. Logical, because for his part, he doesn’t believe for a single second in his chances of seducing this incredible beauty with sparkling blonde hair. But he tries. An appointment has been made. It’s the beginning of a great love story, passionate and close. Two years later, Adriana and Christian formed the star couple of France in 1998. A tandem that we thought was indestructible.
