Zlatan Ibrahimović opens up on why he and Helena Seger never got married

During his recent appearance on Piers Morgan Uncensored, former AC Milan striker Zlatan Ibrahimović touched down on the ups and downs in his career. The Swede touched down on multiple topics, including both his professional and personal life. On his personal life, when asked why he never married his partner Helena Seger, the Swede replied that he tried to but he was shut down.

“I have [proposed to her]. She said no. This was a couple of years ago, because I said after 20 years, you deserve to be married with me. She said, ‘I don’t need to be married with you to be with you’. She is strong, she is very strong. I think it’s cool because if you do that, you gain more respect from me because I don’t have to win all the time,” he said.

Ibrahimović then talked about how Helena told him that they didn’t need to be married to show that they were together with each other. “She was like, ‘Listen, I don’t need to marry you to show that I am together with you and we have two boys’. And to be honest, I don’t need a piece of paper to show that she is mine. She is mine, whatever paper we have among us.”

The duo following their meeting started dating in late 2002, before they decided to move to Turin in 2005. They have two sons together, named Maximilian and Vincent. Seger, apart from being in a relationship with the soccer star, is also known for her business empire. Seger boasts a massive net worth of $160 million owing to her real estate business.
