Jolanta Pieńkowska is one of the most popular Polish artists. She started her career in television in the early 1990s as a host of TVP programs. In 2004, she ended her cooperation, and two years later she joined , where she works to this day. Few people know that she initially dreamed of becoming an actress and even obtained a diploma from the Warsaw theater school. Within the walls of the university, she not only developed her skills and passion, but also met her first husband.
They got married because of the child and society’s pressure. They both regretted this decision
The journalist’s first husband was Sławomir Matczak. when she was 18 years old at the PWST, and almost until the end of their studies they were considered a good couple. Everything changed when Pieńkowska was in her final year. Then they stopped getting along and their visions of the future turned out to be different. The situation was further complicated by an unplanned pregnancy.
The parents of the aspiring actress began to insist that she marry her beloved. He, in turn, convinced her that without him she would not be able to reconcile the career she still dreamed of with motherhood. – He instilled in me the belief that I couldn’t cope without him – . This was echoed by her mother and father, for whom the opinion of society was important and illegitimacy was a stain on their honor. Finally, Pieńkowska gave in to the pressure and agreed to get married. In 1987, the firstborn son of the young couple, Mateusz, was born.
They entered adult life straight from school. Mrs. Jolanta’s husband, Sławomir Matczak, as a beginner actor, did not earn much and had difficulty supporting all three of them. When Mateusz was one year old, his mother signed up for a course organized by American airlines and thus realized her second dream – becoming a stewardess.
– about their marriage in the weekly “Halo”. Pieńkowska and Matczak tried to do everything to be a happy family, but to no avail. They found out quite quickly that the wedding was a wrong decision and that they were not meant to live together. Finally, instead of trying hard to save their relationship, they decided to break up.
Pieńkowska was accused of having an affair. It was only many years after the divorce that she decided to comment on it
When it came to journalism, they both already had established positions in the industry. For their son’s sake, they decided not to comment on private matters in the press. – Today I know that you shouldn’t do anything in life just because it’s the right thing, for people, for public opinion. Force. Because we don’t live for others, only for ourselves – she said years later in “Viva”. However, there were rumors behind the scenes that the reason for the imminent breakup was Penkowska’s affair with another man. In turn, some speculated that it was Matczak’s decision, as he could not come to terms with the fact that his wife earned more than him. However, they stuck to their decisions and did not respond to these reports. It was only many years later that the journalist spoke out about the case and, by talking about the background of the divorce, put an end to all harmful speculations. – The truth is that I separated from my husband when I came to the conclusion that there was no point in forever saving a relationship that had already been given a chance and, unfortunately, nothing came of it – she explained. – And it happened much earlier, before I met the man I really loved – concluded Pieńkowska.
