The ageless actress Zdena Studenková has been a couple for more than 30 years with the conductor Braň Kostek, who is 17 years her junior. Many people questioned their relationship because of the big age difference. At the time when they started to form a couple, Zdena was 39 years old, while Braňo was only 22. The couple talked about a sensitive topic in the 13th Chamber session – about a baby.
Studenková has an only daughter, Simona, from her first marriage with film director and screenwriter Stanislav Párnicky. Their marriage lasted fourteen years. She left him for Kostka. Studenková was married twice.
Even before the director, she said yes to photographer Ivan Kostroň. They were classmates at the art industry school, where they both studied photography. She admitted in her autobiography that she was pregnant with Kostroň, but decided to have an abortion.
It is not easy for Kostka. He mentioned that they don’t have a child together when asked about their age difference. “To pretend that we are the same again, as if there is no difference between us, is stupidity. There are certain issues that cannot be overcome in any way, such as the fact that we are not allowed to have children together, which is probably the most important issue that we all deal with in some way” he said honestly.
The actress reacted sharply to his words. “The most important thing of all is to have love in life. No career, no money, nothing can compensate for being empty inside and not feeling loved. That is an absolute priority for me.” Studenková said.
However, she admitted in the show that she too wanted another child. “I wanted a child. But getting pregnant after forty is difficult from a biological point of view. I couldn’t do it anymore. I’m terribly envious of people who have a big family. The older I get, the more I realize how overwhelming it must be,” she admitted.
