Olga Bończyk still cannot understand why her relationship with Jacek Bończyk had to fall apart. However, after years, facts came to light that are thought-provoking. Few people knew what really happened behind the closed doors of their home.
They met right after graduation. She, a native of Wrocław, was studying at the Academy of Music. He came to Wrocław from Wałbrzych to study at the local branch of the Kraków Theatre School. It was love at first sight and the finale was the wedding that took place on April 1, 1994. “We were supposed to be together for better and for worse,” the actress recalled, quoted by “Viva!” magazine in 2023.

Olga Bończyk Lived a Happy Life. Her Husband’s Depression Changed Everything
At first, their life resembled a fairy tale, because Jacek was a true romantic and organized candlelight evenings for his wife, and he also willingly went to her performances. They both fulfilled themselves professionally and sometimes appeared in the same projects. In the animated film “The Thief of Bagdad” they even played a couple in love – she was a beautiful princess, he was a poor shoemaker. However, a serious illness stood in their way to complete happiness.

However, they could not sit idly by and together they went to a psychiatrist, but instead of help they found only trouble. “The first person was not good, not competent. Jacek completely fell apart, he even fell apart,” she said sadly in “Viva”. The diagnosis of depression was a shock for them.
Olga Bończyk: it was the biggest loss
Unfortunately, the situation only worsened. The actress’s husband did not want help, discouraged by the wrong therapist. The crisis in the marriage became unbearable, which led to the decision to divorce. Olga Bończyk called it “the greatest loss of those times” years later.
The actress admitted that if she had been as aware of depression as she is now, everything would have certainly been different. Perhaps they would have managed to overcome the crisis and save their marriage.

Olga Bończyk took the breakup hard, but she did not stop looking for love, although she consciously abandoned thoughts of motherhood. She got involved with journalist Tomasz Gorazdowski, but this marriage also ended in separation after two years.. Jacek Bończyk later got involved with Katarzyna Groniec, and is currently married to Klementyna Umer. Despite everything, the former spouses remain in good, friendly relations. Memories from that period of their relationship are very important to them.
After two failed relationships, the 56-year-old actress decided to consciously become single. “I don’t have the head or time for meetings or dates at the moment. I know, it sounds very selfish, but on the other hand, why should I succumb to the pattern that most people follow? I know how I want to live. I know what is good for me and I feel very good about myself” — she said in January 2024 in an interview with “Fakt”.
