Valentin Kretz, who you can find on the show “L’Agence”, is used to finding luxury accommodation for his clients. But where does he live and who shares his life? Here's what we know…
Valentin Kretz, who is a hit with the show The Agency every Thursday evening on TMC in which we discovered the luxury real estate agency that he runs with his family, also has a very pleasant cocoon nestled in the heart of Paris, with the woman who shares his life. What do we know about his private life?
Valentin Kretz: who is his wife Charina (12 years his senior)?
Valentin Kretz's heart is not for the taking! It's already been 13 years since the 34-year-old real estate agent fell in love with Charina, a fashion designer with her brand distributed in Asia and the United States, whom he met through mutual friends during a trip to Thailand. “Love at first sight“, he confided to Gala. However, the beginnings of their relationship were not easy. “I had just accepted a job in New York for a year, so after two weeks, we left. We started our relationship long distance. he explained.
Instead of distancing them, this distance has strengthened their relationship: “We give ourselves space, that’s the key to lasting. And then, we got married seven years ago, Charina was three months pregnant, it was totally unexpected“Today, both are parents of a 7-year-old boy, named Noah. They also want to expand their family.”We encounter some difficulties, but we remain very optimistic and we are thinking about adoption“, he assured.
Besides, Valentin Kretz and Charina are twelve years apart… and it is the latter who is the oldest! “We both lied when we met. Valentin added five years and I took five years away“, remembered the forty-year-old near Gala. This little charade continued until she discovered her companion's real date of birth on his passport! But not enough to separate these particularly close-knit lovebirds.
Where does Valentin Kretz live? “Charina will have the last word”
Today, they both live in Paris with their son, after having lived for some time in the United States. Their apartment, on the 1st floor of a building in the 7th arrondissement, is a mix of “flea market furniture and other pieces by Scandinavian designers,” says Gala. It was Charina who was in charge of the decoration! “She decides everything here, she has better taste than me so I let her do it, there's no point in fighting, she will have the last word“, concluded Valentin Kretz. A happy and loving man, therefore.
