My decision has nothing to do with any photo, there was never the feeling of jealousy. The problem is different, it is about verbal and physical aggression, threats. You cannot afford to infinity some things that are not worthy of a woman. I have a family too“She said.
Ioana also said that there were several tense episodes in the couple, and Elijah’s behavior had become unpredictable. “Many times I do not understand him. He leaves, he comes, when he comes, screams. I avoided going with Elijah, I knew what was happening and what happened”She explained, specifying that she also took into account the request for a protection order.
“If necessary, I will also ask for a protection order. I don’t want to hurt him, I wanted to be discreet. In these seven years I even wanted from the heart, I tried to bring him closer to God, so that He would rise to his true value. But I suffered a lot”, Concluded Ioana Nastase.

We are together, “said the former athlete. Asked if it is true that they were separated, Elijah replied vaguely:” It has been submitted, I do not know, I have no idea.”.
The statements in the past showed a hopeful relationship
More than a year ago, Ilie Nastase was talking enthusiastically about the relationship with Ioana in a podcast made by Mihai Morar. The former sportsman praised his wife and said he wanted a child with her.
“T.The women are beautiful, but let me tell you something: the most beautiful is the last! I speak seriously … Now we try to have a child (I and Ioana). And no one should be upset. I live with her today, with her I share the time, I sleep with her, with her go on holidays ””declares Ilie Nastase then.
He also told that Ioana wants a little girl: “Ioana necessarily wants a little girl, she has a 5 -year -old granddaughter, but she wants a little girl. She has a boy. Let’s see what we do, as we do … she is proud of her boy, she left everything she did.”.
Ioana, about the desire to have another child: “It’s no longer the moment”
Although Elijah expressed his desire to become a father again, Ioana seemed more reserved. In an interview offered to the Cancan publication, she stated: “I didn’t think about being a mother again. Ilie tells me all the time she wants and wants another child. But it’s not the moment. “
