Zlatan Ibrahimovic talks about his private life on Youtube, from his failed marriage to Helena (“who won’t have a second chance”) to his “normal life with unusual possibilities” between household chores and cycling
The Ibra you don’t expect. An interview with Zlatan Ibrahimovic, senior advisor of Milan and RedBird, was published on Wednesday on AbTalks , a YouTube format with interviews on the private lives of celebrities hosted by Anas Bukhash.
The Swedish striker stopped playing a year ago, with a very emotional farewell at San Siro, before returning to Milan formally as manager. What is his life like away from the field now? «I’m fine, life is good, I treat myself well. Stopping playing was a difficult thing because of my egoof what I think of myself. I think I’m the best, I’m still the best, I could continue… but I chose to stop. Why? I want a good life for my family».
A very particular, very tender family Ibrahimovic then emerges, and also very, very close to his partner Helena Seger, with whom he has been for 20 years and who refused to marry him (on the subject he said to Piers Morgan: « I told her: “After 20 years you deserve to become my wife”. And she: “I don’t need to marry you to be with you.” Is strong. Very strong”, and then he added, semi-seriously, “he had one chance, he won’t get a second one. But she has two children from me, so he is even older than being married »).
Now, going into detail, he adds: «He always tells me “remember who took care of you before you started taking care of the family”. She gave up her career for me and accompanied me in everything she didhe gave me everything and gave up everything for me.”
For this reason, out of love and gratitude, the football superstar puts his ego aside and underlines: «I don’t think that in a relationship you should be above someone else. I think it should be 50/50, obviously she takes more responsibility in some things, and in others I take more responsibility.”
From the union Maximilian, born in 2006, and Vincent, born in 2008, were born. Which now, when he is at home in California, his father takes care of: «The people he may think that our family has a luxurious lifebut Helena washes and cooks, I take the children to schoolI pick them up from training like a normal family and that’s how we chose. The only help we have is a cleaning lady».
The Ibrahimovics live in a rich neighborhood, a Beverly Hillsand Zlatan noticed that «In the whole school only my children rode bicycles. The other families had nannies who dropped off and picked up the children, or a driver. That’s not who we are.”
And who helps the kids with their homework? «I’ll help them, if Helena can’t, yesWe are a normal family with unusual possibilities».
