Janusz Gajos’ first marriage started like a romantic film and ended like a drama

Zoja, the first wife of Janusz Gajos, remains a figure shrouded in mystery to this day, and the actor himself does not like to mention her. Their fates met in unexpected circumstances in a hospital in Wrocław during the production of the series “”. Gajos, playing the role of Janek Kos, had an accident, which forced his hospitalization. It was there, in a hospital environment full of white coats and sterile corridors, that he first looked into the eyes of Zoja, who worked as a laboratory technician. The couple immediately fell in love.

It was like a romantic movie, but with a dramatic ending

Then there was a quick engagement and wedding planning just 3 months after the first meeting. The young couple moved to Łódź. There they began their life together. Unfortunately, Zoja quickly felt the burden of loneliness when she found herself in a foreign city with her fiancé, who was often away from home due to his work. The new environment, the lack of close friends and, above all, the absence of her husband, who was absorbed in subsequent film projects, created an emotional gap between the spouses. In the meantime, Zoja, feeling a growing emotional emptiness, established a close relationship with Andrzej HerderGajos’s friend from the set of “Four Tank Men”, which ultimately led to a crisis in their marriage.

When the truth about the betrayal came to light, when their marriage had lasted for three years. Gajos found himself in a situation that required both emotional resilience and a decisive response. Divorce became inevitable and its effects left a lasting mark on both of their lives. Gajos, hurt and disappointed with his fate, tried to focus on work, which resulted in further professional successes.

Janusz Gajos finally found love

After a turbulent breakup with Zoja, Gajos did not abandon his search for love. His subsequent relationships, although different from his first marriage, also shaped his private and professional life. He married Ewa Miodyńska, then Barbara Nabiałczyk became his life partner, and currently he shares his life with Elżbieta Brożek. Even though the story with Zoja sounds like a script from a romantic movie, he found true love only years later. His fourth marriage is over 30 years old.
