Ilona Wrońska and Leszek Lichota split up after 20 years!

Ilona Wronska and Leszek Lichota – parting after 20 years

Ilona Wronska and Leszek Lichota were one of the most characteristic couples of Polish show business. For more than 20 years they formed a relationship without formalisation, brought up their children outside the school system and were considered a model of a partner relationship. Today, we already know that this chapter has come to an end – the couple has separated. In this article we look at their story, their life decisions and what influenced their separation.

A love story without a wedding. How did Ilona Wronska and Leszek Lichota’s relationship begin?

Ilona Wronska and Leszek Lichota met on the set of the popular series Na Wspólnej. Although initially they had no feelings for each other, with time a deep relationship developed between them. In interviews, they emphasised that their love was based on trust, shared values and friendship.

Despite more than two decades together, the couple never decided to get married.

‘I don’t need marriage for anything,’ Lichota said in one interview. Wronska, on the other hand, added that a relationship based on choice rather than formality has more power.

Official break-up. “We haven’t lived together for months”.

In October 2025, news circulated in the media that Ilona Wronska and Leszek Lichota had separated. The information was confirmed by the actors themselves, revealing that they had not been living together for several months. However, the couple decided not to reveal details of the reasons for their separation.

Although many people perceived it as a shock, the couple’s friends suggest that it was a mature decision based on differences that grew over time. What is important is that both Wronska and Lichota assure that they will continue to care for the children together and collaborate on professional projects.

Children and homeschooling. Why did Wronska and Lichota not send their children to school?

One of the most unique aspects of their private life was their decision to homeschool. The couple’s children, Natasha and Kajetan, had never attended a traditional school. Wronska and Lichota opted for individual tuition at home.

‘We are not eagles at everything, but we learn together with the children,’ the actress recounted.

For the couple, it was important that the children develop at their own pace, without the pressure of the system. They hired science teachers, but taught most of the classes themselves.

Their decision was controversial, but also admired. They stressed that homeschooling required tremendous discipline, flexibility and commitment.

‘It was the most difficult and beautiful challenge of our lives,’ Lichota said in an interview with the media.
