Greek actor Lefteris Eleftheriou confirms quiet 2023 divorce after 22-year marriage

Greek actor Lefteris Eleftheriou has revealed that his divorce from his wife of 22 years, Tatiana Kalantzi, was finalised three years ago, but the couple chose not to publicise the separation. Speaking to *Gala* magazine on Sunday, 14 June 2026, Eleftheriou described their relationship as one of mutual support and affection despite the split. “We are very loving and very supportive of each other,” he said, emphasising that the decision to keep the divorce private was deliberate. The actor, known for his roles in Greek television and film, did not provide further details about the circumstances of the separation, which occurred in 2023 .

The revelation comes amid renewed public interest in the actor’s personal life, following years of speculation about the status of his marriage. Eleftheriou and Kalantzi, a fellow actress, were a prominent couple in Greek entertainment circles, often seen together at industry events. Their decision to maintain a discreet separation contrasts with the more publicised splits of other high-profile figures in the region.

In a separate development, Canadian actor Seth Rogen has reaffirmed that he has no intention of collaborating again with his former friend and frequent co-star James Franco. Speaking to Dutch media on Sunday, Rogen stated that he has had no contact with Franco for an extended period and does not foresee any future projects together. “I have no plans to ever work with him again,” Rogen told *RTL Boulevard* . The two actors, who starred together in films such as *Pineapple Express* (2008) and *This Is the End* (2013), have not worked on a project since their last collaboration in 2016.

Meanwhile, Dutch television personality and winemaker Ilja Gort has celebrated two decades of marriage to his wife Caroline, describing their relationship as the cornerstone of his happiness. In an interview with *Vriendin* magazine, the 75-year-old presenter and his wife, who live in France, spoke about the enduring strength of their bond. “Without her, it’s not fun,” Gort said, adding that they share nearly every aspect of their lives, from professional commitments to leisure activities. Their long-term partnership reflects a broader trend in some European countries, where divorce rates have declined in recent years. In the Czech Republic, for instance, divorce figures have fallen to their lowest level in 25 years, with analysts attributing the shift to evolving social norms and economic pressures .

These contrasting narratives—of quiet separations, enduring partnerships, and professional estrangements—highlight the diverse ways in which personal relationships are evolving across Europe and beyond.
