Aleksandar Petrovic (32) and Vanessa Nwattu have reason to celebrate: a year ago today they made their relationship public. The reality star had previously taken the loyalty test at Temptation Island VIP with his then partner Christina Dimitriou (31). However, he quickly fell in love with the seductress Vanessa and left the show with her. What followed was criticism and malice for the lovebirds. Now Aleks remembers the adversity in an emotional declaration of love!
“It was a very big risk, but it paid off because for a year now I have been able to proudly tell the whole world that we are happily married,” he writes on Instagram. Aleks is eternally grateful, Vanessa to have by his side. The time surrounding the broadcast of the show was a particularly tough test. The two kept their love secret and got in trouble for their behavior on TV: “Those six months were the hardest time of our lives, babe!”
Hardly any other relationship so young could have withstood the pressure, emphasizes the fitness coach: “This shows me even more that something unique happened between us there in Faro…” Whether Vanessa is happy about her friend’s loving words? Aleks already tried to declare his love in The Summer House of the Stars – but only tears of disappointment rolled down from his chosen one.
