The decision to divorce became one of the most difficult in my life. I walked towards it for more than one day and more than one month. And this was not a choice against anyone. It was a choice for myself," the artist wrote.
Peaceful Family Breakup
Despite the end of the marriage, Dimopulos maintains respect for her former husband. She noted that she is grateful to Igor for the years spent together and for the birth of their daughter, Sofia. The ex-spouses maintain civilized relations and jointly participate in raising the child.
