She remained single for some time and focused on career development. Everything changed when she started working at Radio Three, because that’s when she met Grzegorz Wasowski. Her older colleague impressed her with his approach to life and professionalism. Eventually they started dating and eventually became a couple. They got married and in 1985 they welcomed their only son, Jerzy. This relationship, although initially successful, also did not stand the test of time and ended in divorce.

After the breakdown of her second marriage, Olejnik devoted herself fully to work, which she tried to combine with raising her son. She didn’t intend to get involved because she felt she didn’t have time for it. However, she changed her mind when, in 1995, a sports journalist, Tomasz Ziółkowski, joined the editorial office of Radio Trójka. Initially, their relationship was purely professional, but over time they realized that, apart from their common passion, they had similar views, sense of humor and approach to life. The acquaintance quickly turned into friendship, and then into hot feelings.

Initially, few people supported their relationship. Some of her relatives believed that the man, 15 years younger than her, did not have good intentions, but she did not seem to listen to negative opinions. She took the risk and today she does not hide that she does not regret this choice. Olejnik and Ziółkowski have been together for almost 29 years. However, they still have not decided to get married because, as they both claim, they do not need it to be happy. Although they are considered a harmonious and happy couple in the industry, they do not flaunt their feelings in the media and do not comment on their private life in interviews.
