She was also successful in her private life. While still a teenager, “Polish”, as she was called, she met a colleague, Włodzimierz Nowak, with whom she fell head over heels in love.

I agreed. We sat on a bench in the park and became a couple. (…) I was fascinated by him and I was faithful to him all my life – in the program “Stars in Skolimów”. Their marriage, although harmonious and happy, was not complete.

He didn’t tell me about our financial problems – she complained in Super Express, adding that she has no way to repay the debt because the only money she has is her pension, which she uses almost entirely to pay for her stay at the Actor’s House.
The actress did not hide the fact that the situation was extremely stressful for her and she was afraid of the intervention of the bailiff, who could seize her precious souvenirs of her loved ones to cover the debt. – I’m afraid that a bailiff may come and take away all my souvenirs from my husband and parents, which are close to my heart – she said in an interview. For this reason, she decided to ask fans for financial support. – It’s very hard for me and I can’t do it on my own – she explained. Cinema and theater lovers apparently responded to her appeal by making small donations to the guesthouse’s account, but ultimately the matter went quiet and it is not known whether Kowalska finally managed to settle the debts.
