Gold Vardinoyannis – Nicholas De Gress: The partitions, romance and sharp suspension of Tatiana Blatnik

Chrysi Vardinoyannis and , made their first joint public appearance on Thursday 16 January 2025, at their memorial of former King Constantine who was held in Tatoi. The two seem to have formalized their relationship and confirmed the rumors of the last few days that they wanted a couple. Tatiana Blatnik’s sharp post had preceded that the second son of the late King Constantine avoided commenting. Chrysi Vardinoyannis has been close to the former royal family of the country and in the past, while her presence in the marriage of his sister Nicholas, Theodoras, in September 2024 confirmed her close relationship with the family. It was the time when both she and Nicholas had a new period in their lives, as they had recently completed significant chapters in their personal relationships. CORVERSE The daughter of shipowner George Vardinoyannis and Love Citizen had divorced after 5 years of relationship with Constantine Markoulakis, while Nicholas counted a few months as a bachelor, after the divorce from Tatiana Blatnik. In her New Year’s post, Nicholas’ ex-wife had spoken about her years of marriage. Looks like he’s been reviewing a lot lately: “ Last year was a year of transformation for me, filled with changes that caused me to grow, learn and rebuild a life that truly reflects who I am. There were times when I felt trapped between the identities, and yet, at those moments, I found clarity. Embraceing my true self, I discovered a new force,” wrote Tatiana Blatnik. The brilliant marriage in Spetses in August 2010 and the move to Greece to live at Sophia Papandreou’s house in Kastri is today two chapters in their lives, which seem to have been permanently closed. “This year, I will continue this exploration – honoring the past while landing in the present, here in Greece, a place I now call home” wrote Tatiana Blatnik. CORVERSE Nicholas De Gress has not been tempted to answer. Along with his mother, brothers and nephews, he spent Christmas celebration and posed in the established commemorative photographs that the family posted on social media. A few days later, he decided that he had reached the full of time to appear with Golden Vardinoyannis. Constantine Markoulakis and Chrysi Vardinoyannis decided to end their relationship after five years of a common course. The news of their separation became known in December 2023, with the couple maintaining very good relations despite his decision. Their common appearances in public places were rare, usually in theatre performances, while their presence was always discreet. An important chapter in their relationship was the quarantine period, where the two came even closer. Konstantinos Markoulakis has a son from his wedding with Ersis Xenokis, while Chrysi Vardinoyannis has two children from her wedding to singer Nino. Despite the end of their relationship, mutual appreciation and respect seem to remain unchanged to date. Sources near the former royal family say that the dimension to the relationship of Nicholas and Tatiana Blatnik had become apparent in the past three years, although they kept it away from publicity. Family members, such as Anna-Marie, Alexia, Paul, and Marie-Sadal, seem to have known the situation, while former King Constantine, who had special affection for Tatiana, was never informed of the problems they faced. Two years ago, 44-year-old Tatiana Blatnik today stood by her husband’s side. Last year he accompanied him to the memorial service held at Windsor Castle and two months later their separation was announced. Now she’s ready to open new chapters in her life.
