“Married 38 years… but in love with someone else?” 😳💔 While the martial arts legend appears to be a loyal husband, rumors say he’s had a secret Ukrainian lover for 16 years — and her mother confirmed it online! Could his wife know and not care? Decide after seeing their recent photos together 👇
Known as «The Muscles from Brussels», he rose to fame for his martial arts-driven action films. The future star began training in martial arts at age 10, earning a black belt by 18. He also trained in ballet, taekwondo, Muay Thai, and bodybuilding, even winning the Mr. Belgium title. This foundation helped shape his unique style and on-screen athleticism.
He’s been married five times to four different women, including twice to his current wife Gladys, a former bodybuilder. Together, they have children, including Kristopher and Bianca who also stepped into the world of film and martial arts. He began training developing the skills that would define his on-screen persona. His background also includes ballet, which he credits with enhancing his agility and control.
At the height of his fame in the 1990s, he struggled with addiction and was later diagnosed with bipolar disorder. Despite personal challenges, he has staged several comebacks earning critical praise for his honesty and depth. In recent years, he’s become an advocate for animal rights embracing plant-based living.
He may appear to be a devoted family man, having been married to the same woman for 38 years. However, for the past 16 years, he’s reportedly been involved in an affair with a woman named Alena from Ukraine. This claim was publicly shared by the woman’s mother, who spoke openly—and seemingly proudly—about the relationship online.
That said, some speculate that his wife is fully aware of the affair and is unbothered by it. Perhaps she, too, leads an independent life.
