My partner and I were together for a very short time and we decided to travel to Vietnam for two weeks where we had a great time”Sotiris Kontizas said.
“We only booked a place to stay for the first two nights, and for the next two weeks we planned the schedule day by day. When you feel good with another person in such conditions, you understand that you are moving on the same wavelength.” added the chef.
The two had three children. In addition to Izumi, who was born very recently (in 2020), they have Arianna-Chihiro and Kenji.

We’re already at the limit.”Sotiris Kontizas told the TV cameras.
