Greek singer Kostas Karafotis celebrated his 48th birthday on Thursday, September 3, receiving a public social media tribute from his wife Katia Manou.
Manou marked the occasion by sharing a video on Instagram showing the singer performing live on stage.

Following the ceremony, the couple shared their joy on August 27, 2026, noting that their daughter was christened with two godmothers and describing the child as a divine gift for which they felt immense gratitude.
