THE Petros Kokkalis and Dimitra Matsouka were in the studio of Enopios Enopio on the evening of Thursday, April 4. The well-known actress and the head of the “Kosmos” party, got married on December 1, 2023 after 7 years of living together.
They spoke to Nikos Hatzinikolaou about their relationship and marriage: “All couples are balanced and we are because we are in love and we love each other,” said Petros Kokkalis. With Dimitra Matsuoka adding: “We are good with each other. At the beginning of our relationship there were obstacles,” he admitted.
There were times when there were reports of their separation, which they commented was wrong as news.
The actress confessed that they met in 2014. They met through a mutual friend: “I was alone then and so was Petros. I saw someone I really liked and imagined him to be an agronomist. The friend introduced us and then everything happened very quickly and very perfectly”, as Petros Kokkalis said: “The first step was dancing”.
After 7 years the decision to get married came naturally. The marriage proposal had been made much earlier, at the beginning of their relationship. As they both knew well what they were for each other. That’s what they felt all the years they’ve been together. So he followed the mystery a few months ago: “To tell my sin, I feel different after marriage, the relationship is richer, its nature changes. It’s a matter of opening horizons”, added Petros Kokkalis with Dimitra Matsoukas agreeing with him.
Among the people who spoke through the show’s video wall was Maria Matsouka, who spoke with a lot of love and admiration for her sister. She called her her second mother, because she always looked after her. He referred to their relationship and the award he had dedicated to her: “Dimitra was in everything. She read a lot, spoke very well, was kind. He also listened to her music, went to Exarchia. Beauty opens some doors, but if what you do isn’t worth it, it won’t last. And my sister has been in the field for many years. He had a lot of responsibilities from a young age, as far as I was concerned, he read to me, looked after me, my mom worked,” said Maria Matsouka.
Then Dimitra Matsuka emphasized that she has not been moved again in an interview, crying: “I am very close to my sister and my brother. My sister is also the youngest in my family. I’ve never been more moved in my life on a show. It’s something I’ve always avoided, but it happened to me, but there’s a good reason. The award I had dedicated to her a few years ago at the Thessaloniki festival was for a play by Theotokos, “Slaves in Their Bonds” directed by Tonis Lykouresis”, he explained.
As they said they criticize each other, but for everyday things. They do not interfere in the matters in which each is an expert, although they admire each other.
