Our former tennis star Dominika Cibulková (36) no longer wanted to publicly dwell on the breakup with her longtime husband Michal Navar (40). However, since this is a hot topic that resonates in society, she decided to set the record straight. She spoke for the collapse of the marriage the journal it refers to. A few years ago, she herself would not have believed that her relationship with Navara would end like this.
Cibulková emphasized that she had a clear idea about her life. “Maybe it was related to sports, where you have to have everything exactly planned. And it was the same in this case of my life. Michal and I met, got to know each other, traveled, enjoyed life. Then came the wedding, one child, another child, and we too had to deal with ordinary life, worries, problems. It was also not easy for me as an active athlete to fit into normal life. But it worked, even if everything wasn’t always ideal, catalog-like,” she confided.
Problems accumulated over time and it was not easy for the couple, but the mother of two added in one breath that she loved the beautiful image of their family, which was there one hundred percent. Then there was a turning point. “But at the same moment Michal and I started to differ. We were no longer the same twenty-five-year-old people, but everyone had a different perspective on certain things,” she said bluntly. “Sometimes there comes a moment when even the two people don’t know what’s going on. They start judging each other,” she added.
Challenging questions began to arise in her head, the answers to which are difficult to find. “Is it right to go against yourself in order to please those around you? How to live honestly with yourself? How to live in such a way that I am connected internally and to be a happy mother for my children? Is it right to go against yourself just to please those around you? This isn’t about selfishness, it’s about the fact that if you part ways with someone, it’s not right to forcefully follow what others think is right,” remarked Cibulková.
Jakubka and Ninky’s mother does not want to claim that the separation is right, but according to her, there are situations when it is better to go apart and be a support to the other, despite the fact that the joint functioning is no longer as strong as it was. “Someone recently told me that if children were my priority, the breakup would never have happened. But here someone is only posing as an alibis. I don’t want our children to be hostages of our happiness. We love them, but our paths with Michal are different, so we have to approach it rationally. If we are happy, then our children will be happy too,” explained the athlete.
“Only the two people involved know how a person lives in a particular household. And I wouldn’t comment on it at all if other people didn’t start commenting on it from their point of view. I can only say so much about this matter, that Michal and I lived a really fulfilling and beautiful life,” stated Cibulková.
“We have two beautiful, healthy children for whom we are and will remain the best parents, and although at one point our paths diverged, I believe that we can be friends in the future and realize that the fifteen years together were meaningful,” she added at the end.
