Art director Genevieve Majari discussed her 11-year marriage to Vassilis Karidis during a television interview on Wednesday, describing him as her constant support through difficult times.
Speaking on the television show Protos Kafes me ti Zina on Wednesday, September 23, 2026, on the occasion of the premiere of First Dates, Majari reflected on love, relationships, and her long partnership with Karidis.
Reflections on love and partnership
Majari described her husband as the most handsome man in Greece, adding that he is an outstanding father and partner who knows her thoroughly. She stated that the key factor keeping them united over many years is their shared commitment to working for love as they grow and change every day.
Addressing her past experiences before meeting Karidis, Majari explained that she believes strongly in love at first sight and in remaining open to romance. She acknowledged making mistakes and being involved in the wrong relationships earlier in life, noting that those experiences ultimately guided her toward her husband.
Majari emphasized that true partnership is tested during challenging moments rather than during easy times or professional successes. She noted that while it is easy to offer affection during successful periods, Karidis stands by her during her darkest days and difficult paths.
She added that she acts like a protective Cerberus during Karidis's own hard times, keeping their bond strong. Majari remarked that anyone can be in love on weekends, but a true partner shows their worth on Mondays during moments of stress, exhaustion, depression, or bad mood, comparing a good partner to a skilled captain who proves his worth in rough seas.
Family anniversary in Kastellorizo
Majari and Karidis reached their 11th wedding anniversary in August 2026. The couple celebrated the milestone during a family summer vacation on the Greek island of Kastellorizo.
On Monday, August 17, 2026, Majari posted photos from their Kastellorizo trip to her personal Instagram account, sharing moments with Karidis and their two children, Rozalia and Michalis.
In the caption accompanying the holiday photos, she wrote that what they had once dreamed of, they were now celebrating as they marked 11 years of marriage.
Majari is a prominent Greek art director and television personality who has built a broad public following through her appearances on major broadcast programs, including her role as host of the dating reality show First Dates. Karidis is an established fashion photographer based in Greece.
Kastellorizo, where the family spent their anniversary, is the easternmost inhabited island of Greece, situated in the Dodecanese archipelago and known for its historic harbour and secluded environment. Majari concluded her interview by reiterating her deep admiration for her husband and their ongoing commitment to navigating life together.
