Greek actor Christos Chatzipanagiotis revealed how fellow actress Vicky Stavropoulou reacted when television presenter Danai Barka announced her pregnancy to their family, speaking during an interview on the morning show Happy Day on Monday, September 21.
Chatzipanagiotis said Stavropoulou was overcome with emotion and was not calm at all when Barka shared the news, while he remained the calmest person present and encouraged Barka to move forward with good fortune.
Chatzipanagiotis explained that he feels very happy seeing Barka so joyful and fulfilled, noting that he regards her as his own daughter. He added that Barka told the family directly that she was expecting a child, which prompted Stavropoulou to make an emotional scene out of excitement.
Speaking about the upcoming arrival, Chatzipanagiotis stated that he is ready to hold the baby in his arms and care for the child whenever needed. He emphasized that he has no fear about taking on childcare duties and described himself as battle ready for the task.
Family dynamics and health updates
During the broadcast, Chatzipanagiotis also discussed his long standing relationship with Stavropoulou, revealing that the two have argued countless times over the years. He noted that during their disagreements, he is usually the one who backs down to keep the peace.
Chatzipanagiotis reflected on his personal health history as well, referring to a past heart attack he suffered. He explained that surviving the medical emergency taught him a valuable lesson about learning to live in the present moment.
Chatzipanagiotis and Stavropoulou are prominent figures in Greek theater and television who have maintained a close professional and personal bond for decades, raising Barka together. Barka, who followed her mother into acting, currently works as a television presenter, while Happy Day is a morning entertainment show on Greek television.
