Michal and Yuliya only dated a few months before their wedding. Interestingly, Malitowski proposed to his beloved two weeks after their first meeting. However, as it turns out, they actually met many years before, when Yuliya was still a little girl. She was 12 at the time and her future husband was 25.

– I was his student, we met at one lesson, but I don’t remember it – said Yuliya with a smile in an interview for “Good Morning TVN”. “I had a two-meter poster with Michał on the wall in my room,” said Malitowski’s wife, who had been in love with him for a long time. “I was like Justin Bieber to her,” added Michał laughing.

Interestingly, their life paths crossed after many years from the first meeting by accident. Malitowski came across a Phillips post about depression on social media.

– I broke up with my partner at the time and became depressed. We contacted Yuliya via the internet. She posted a quote on social media about her experience with depression, the dancer confessed in the breakfast show.

– I wrote on the Internet: “You can break down completely, but you will have to rebuild yourself. Otherwise it will be over.” Michał replied to that, but it happened completely by accident, because he did not even watch me – emphasized Malitowski’s wife.

After a short message, they decided to meet. It sparked between them immediately and they became a couple. A few months later they got married.

Before he became involved with Yuliya, Michał Malitowski was for many years the life and dance partner of Joanna Leunis. They separated in 2019. They have a 5-year-old daughter, Lia.
