Nikola Karabatic is a true force of nature and one of the best, if not the best, handball player in history. At 38, the native of Nis in Serbia has won everything, but he still has the rage of a winner and is back for a new season with Paris Saint-Germain. Three times Olympic champion and 4 times world champion, the colossus dominated world handball unchallenged for nearly two decades. Besides that, he also knew how to lead a balanced family life with his partner, Géraldine Pillet. The beautiful brunette has shared the champion’s life for more than 10 years now and together they are the parents of two beautiful children.
Their biggest, Alex, was born in April 2016 while his little sister Nora arrived in their lives in August 2018. Together, the little family lives in Paris, where Nikola Karabatic has been playing for more than 7 years now alongside his brother, Luka, and the two men intend to bring the Champions League back to the capital club. Dad very close to his children, the handball player tries to spend as much time as possible with them. Last April, he celebrated the 6 years of his eldest with a nice post on his Instagram account where we could feel all the tenderness he has for him: “6 years of unconditional love”he wrote in particular.
Look mom, I’m taller than dad
A boy who has grown a lot and who, unlike his father, is blond. If he hasn’t inherited the same hair color as him, he may very well grow to the same size, though, and that seems to be the goal. On her Instagram account, Géraldine Pillet has just published a very funny photo of Alek in a supermarket, when he comes across an advertising poster with his father above. On the photo, we see the boy comparing himself in size with the photo, which is not at all at real size. “Look mom, I’m taller than dad”adds the young mother, hilarious at the behavior of her son (the photo can be found in the slideshow).
A photo that should make Nikola Karabatic smile, who, from the height of his 1.96 meters, still has room before seeing his son catch up with him!
