Izabela Kuna has been living with her partner without being married for over 20 years. This is what their everyday life is like

Izabela Kuna and Marek Modzelewski have been together for over two decades

Izabela Kuna has been in a relationship with Marek Modzelewski for many years. Although their relationship has lasted for over two decades, the couple have not tied the knot. Formalising their relationship has not proved necessary for them to build a lasting relationship and a family life together. The relationship between the actress and her partner is sometimes described as a ‘Roman marriage’. This term refers to couples who have been in a stable relationship for many years without getting married. Izabela Kuna and Marek Modzelewski are raising their son together and have long shared both everyday responsibilities and some of their professional experiences.

Kuna is one of Poland’s most popular actresses, whilst her partner combines his work as a doctor with playwriting. Their paths have also crossed during artistic projects, which is why their professional and private lives have often overlapped.

That said, the actress has never portrayed their relationship as an ideal one, free from tension. In the past, she has admitted that they too have their share of arguments and misunderstandings. However, in their case, communication and the search for a solution that allows them to reach an understanding play a significant role.

Izabela Kuna and her partner start the day with a cup of coffee together

Marek Modzelewski spoke to Plejada about the couple’s everyday life behind the scenes. From what he said, it appears that there are no rigid boundaries between their home and professional lives. Many topics come up spontaneously during ordinary conversations.

Mornings are particularly important, when the couple can discuss both their current responsibilities and what’s going on in their friends’ lives.

‘We always sit down over a cup of coffee in the morning and chat about our friends and the things we need to sort out, so it just sort of flows,’ said Marek Modzelewski.

After more than 20 years of living together, this way of doing things has become second nature to them. Their deep understanding of each other’s personalities and habits also helps them when they meet in a professional context.

Izabela Kuna also gets on well with her partner at work

Izabela Kuna and Marek Modzelewski’s long-standing relationship also shapes the way they collaborate on artistic ventures. Having worked together on several projects, they are well acquainted with each other’s approach to work and are able to communicate effectively.

Modzelewski emphasised that the years they have spent together and their shared professional experiences mean that their collaboration proceeds without major conflicts. Their relationship thus shows that work and private life can coexist, even if the boundary between them is sometimes blurred.
