Piotr Machalica was definitely one of the more popular actors in Poland. Viewers certainly associate him with “Złotopolscy” Whether “For better or for worse”. It is no secret that the actor was associated with Małgorzata Machalica for almost a quarter of a century. As time passed, this marriage fell apart, and almost everyone talked about their divorce. They separated in an atmosphere of scandal, and his ex-wife left Piotr Machalica with debts.
Piotr Machalica splits with wife after almost 25 years. “Things started to go wrong a year after the wedding”
In 1985, Piotr Machalica married his beloved, whom he had known since his student days. They both studied at the Warsaw theatre school. The couple already had a three-year-old son, Henryk, and were expecting a daughter, Sonia. At that time, there was no indication that a crisis would creep into their marriage. And yet. Almost a quarter of a century after their wedding, the media was full of speculation that the actor had decided to leave his wife for Edith Olszówka. “We stopped getting along a long time ago. (…) After 24 years, our relationship had reached a stage where nothing could be straightened out or explained” – he explained in “Gala”, and then added:
In reality, everything started to go wrong a year after the wedding. That's when the crisis of trust happened and from then on, things were never quite okay.
– he confessed. Edyta Olszówka was, however, much younger than Piotr. At that time, Małgorzata Machalica accused him of leaving her alone with two children. It is worth adding that Henryk was 27 at the time, and Sonia 24. But that was not the end of it, because when the actor moved out of the house and moved in with his new beloved, his wife decided to live right next door. “She rented an apartment in the place where I have been living for years. It is a sick situation. (…) It led to us escaping to the countryside, a few dozen kilometers from Warsaw,” Olszówka told “Gala”. You can find photos in our gallery at the top of the page.
Piotr Machalica finally separated from his wife, but inherited her debts
Małgorzata Machalica did not want to give her husband a divorce. The former partners officially ended their marriage only after five years and, mind you, 17 court hearings. Despite this, Piotr Machalica did not breathe a sigh of relief or experience happiness. Quite the opposite. His ex-wife left him several unpaid loans. “It dawned on me that my wife always loved money more than me. I left her my entire life's work. Soon after, it turned out that I had no house, no car, absolutely nothing. The only thing I have are debts that I will be paying off for the rest of my life,” he confessed in “Gala”. At that difficult moment, he could count on the support of Edyta Olszówka, but the actor paid off the debts incurred by Małgorzata for years. Additionally, media pressure, gossip and the general interest made his new lover slowly withdraw until she finally left him. The couple decided to stay friends. Edyta Olszówka, however, still supported him.
As time passed, the actor finally got back on his feet and got rid of his ex-wife's debts. “The mistakes I made ruined my life for a few years. Instead of living, I had to work hard. But I did it. I have those unfortunate financial stories behind me now,” he revealed in “Viva!”. He also found happiness with Aleksandra Sosnowska. The couple got married in September 2020. Unfortunately, Piotr Machalica fell seriously ill shortly thereafter and died in December. SEE ALSO: Małgorzata Ohme has split up with her partner.
