Christina Kontova for Johnny Summer: The hardest thing was to explain to Ida the breakup.

Christina Kontova was invited by Vasos Laskaraki on the Break show, at noon on Sunday (03.03.2024) and when she spoke about Ida’s adoption, Johnny Summer and their separation, she was unable to hide her emotion. “From my first trip to Africa I felt a connection. I can’t describe it. For the past few years, I said I didn’t want to have a baby and that I was fine. But my need for adoption was born there. I was saying that “I want to have a child from here”. There were many moments when I broke and I think the hardest times I’ve ever lived so far have been there. But I mean, I never broke for my cause. I never thought of thinking, “what I am doing here now”. But there were many times, especially towards the end of the adoption process, that I really thought I would jump out the window out of my despair. I think if I didn’t have Johnny in my life at the time, it wouldn’t be the same. In fact, I’ve never said it but he was the man who really supported me primarily and supported me in this dream. He’s probably the first person I ever told him I had that thought in the back of my mind since the beginning of our acquaintance. He had told me “we go together and I will be here”. And she was there and she is even today as her dad speaks,” said the fashion designer. And Christina Kontova continued: “The hardest part was to explain to Ida our separation because this child had many changes within a very short time. But I think she’s learned to change. It made us both very difficult, that was our first thought. Not for us, for the child.”
