Vicky Kagia, the beloved Greek model and television personality, recently graced the screens during the festive season, reflecting on her childhood anecdotes and family life. Appearing on shows like "Pame Danai" and "Mamades," she shared humorous stories and heartfelt memories, giving audiences a glimpse of her life beyond the glamorous spotlight.
On "Pame Danai," she recounted her childhood Christmas rituals with laughter and nostalgia. Kagia recalled one poignant moment: "When I was eight years old, they began to tell me whether or not Santa Claus exists and if my parents brought the gifts. So, I slept under the tree all night with a blanket and waited." This playful anecdote highlighted the innocence of childhood beliefs.
Switching gears to her family's current dynamics, she explained the balance she strives for between her booming career and family responsibilities. During her interview on "Mamades," the TV personality candidly remarked, "What is more important in life? Success or your core, what you really want to do? I chose the second because it was so urgent for me. Two shows, two kids during the week, and four on the weekends with my very demanding husband... It just wasn’t working out any longer." This represented her deep commitment to her family and personal happiness over professional success.
Vicky's honesty didn’t stop there. She addressed the recent passing of her father, with whom she had complicated feelings due to her parents’ previous separation. Her grief was palpable as she expressed, "I felt uprooted. I didn’t get to say everything I wanted because he didn’t allow it. I did say many things to him at the hospital, and I believe he heard me." This admission touched on the themes of loss and unresolved feelings, drawing empathy from the audience.
Discussing her marriage to Iliya Krassas, whom she wed shortly after they met, Kagia reflected on their shared commitment to their children. Both bring children from previous marriages, and she described their blending family: "We have two children together. The two older kids from Iliya have fantastic relationships with Bianchi and Karolos, our kids. They are practically identical twins, but we do have some fundamental disagreements. If one of them, say Bianchi, wanted to become a model, I wouldn't have any objections as long as she genuinely wanted it. Whereas her father, Krassas, might be less enthusiastic about it. It will be interesting to see what happens when it’s real!" Through her anecdotes, she depicted the modern family’s dynamics with warmth and honesty.
Through these glimpses of her life, Vicky Kagia shed light on her struggles and joys so relatable to many. Balancing motherhood and personal identity isn’t merely about the choices on camera, but rather about the emotional investments off-screen. She advised to "not let external factors affect your home," encouraging everyone to remain true to their core and family.
Vicky Kagia's story is one of resilience, humor, and heartfelt connection to her family. Her reminiscences about Christmas as a child and her current family life encapsulate the essence of what it means to navigate love, loss, and ambition. They reflect not just her personal experiences but also offer universal lessons about prioritizing what really matters.
Whether you follow her television career or simply enjoy her candid nature, Vicky Kagia's recent reflections provide depth beyond the glitz of celebrity life. They remind us all of the importance of laughter, family, and finding our true selves amid external expectations and pressures.
