Walter Zenga and Raluca Rebedea, divorced for six years, maintained a relationship based on mutual respect, manifested through public messages of appreciation. On the occasion of his ex-wife's birthday, the former Italian goalkeeper published a joint photograph on Instagram accompanied by a message dedicated to shared memories. [1]
'There are moments that pass and others that remain. The most beautiful are those lived together with you. Happy Birthday, lubi!', Walter Zenga said. Raluca reshared the greeting on her Instagram page, responding with a short message: 'The gesture always matters'. These exchanges of messages occur six years after the couple's divorce; they were married for approximately 15 years and have two children together. [1]
Walter Zenga and Raluca Rebedea met in Bucharest, during the period when the former Italian international was coaching FC Național. The marriage took place in May 2005, the couple becoming parents to two children, Samira and Walter Junior (Nicolò). The family lived for a period in Dubai, and Walter's professional schedule took him to several countries. [1]
Distance and professional schedule posed challenges for the relationship, leading to the decision to separate in 2020, after approximately 15 years of marriage. In October 2020, Walter Zenga publicly confirmed the separation from Raluca, speaking about the deterioration of the relationship and the inevitability of the marriage's end. [1]
Among the reasons cited for the divorce were the distance imposed by professional activity and the cooling of the relationship. The former goalkeeper announced that the divorce papers had been filed in Dubai, also requesting respect for the family's privacy, especially for the sake of the two children. [1]
In 2021, Raluca Zenga entered the public sphere to clarify the former husband's role in the children's lives, distinguishing between the ended couple relationship and the parental bond. She insisted that problems between the former partners should not be confused with parental responsibilities. [1]
'I would like to talk only about my children, because in his past I was not... I do not find it fair that public opinion could judge Walter as a father who is not involved or as a cold, distant father who does not take care of his children. For this alone do I allow myself to intervene now. With our little ones, aged 8 and 11, he has always been a perfect father', declared Raluca Zenga in 2021. [1]
After the breakup, Raluca Zenga kept her residence in Dubai, the city where her children grew up. Travel became an important interest, and on her Instagram account 'Raluca Zenga Travels' she publishes photos and impressions from various destinations. [1]
Among the places reported by the press that she has visited are Indonesia, Bhutan, Thailand, Laos, China, Seychelles, and the Azores. Raluca explained how she views time and memories, preferring to live in the present and create new experiences. [1]
'I live very much the moment when my mind cannot understand permanence. If it doesn't happen now, it doesn't exist. I don't like to access memories to be happy, but rather to always create new ones. I live everything as if it were the last time', she admitted online. [1]
