If there is one player who perfectly symbolizes the new era Paris Saint-Germain have entered with the arrival of the Qataris, it is Zlatan Ibrahimovic. The phenomenon coming straight from Malmö, Sweden, is one of the biggest football stars of the 2000s and in 2012, he arrives in the capital club and takes everything in his path. Alongside Thiago Silva or Marco Verratti, he will live good years in France, before leaving for England, the United States before returning to Italy in 2020, after several years spent on the other side of the Alps by the past.
On this October 3, 2022, Zlatan Ibrahimovic turns 41 and if most footballers have already stopped their career for a while at this age, he intends to continue for a while. A sporting career that he leads alongside his partner, Helena Seger, and her two boys, Maximilian and Vincent. If she is rather discreet, the 52-year-old Swede has a very important place in the life of the international striker whose life she has shared for almost 20 years and if many top athletes go out with models, this n Zlatan is not. “Me, a former supermodel? Damn look at me I am 1.65 meters tall, I have a big mouth, very small legs, it’s a joke!she said in an interview with SHE in 2013.
I had lots of projects at the time, but not that of becoming a footballer’s companion!
When they meet, the footballer at only 21 years old and Helena 32 years old and at the time, she decides to change her life. “This is the time when I had resumed marketing studies and, to pay them, in addition to my job as a product manager, I worked in a restaurant on the weekends… I had lots of projects at the time, but not that of becoming a footballer’s companion!”, she remembered. Leaving her parents at only 17 years old without having finished high school, Helena Seger worked hard to get by. “When I met Zlatan, I didn’t need him and maybe that’s also what he liked about me”she explained with hindsight, before revealing the reason why she ended up giving him a chance: “He’s so funny!”.
Still together today, Helena Seger and Zlatan Ibrahimovic form a united and loving couple who will certainly celebrate the 41st birthday of the former Parisian as it should!
