“Polityka” passports. Marek Koterski took his wife to the wall
Małgorzata Bogdańska and Marek Koterski chose a fierce and slightly rock look that day. They posed all in black on the wall. They both chose leather jackets and lace-up worker boots. The director's wife wore a long skirt with an embossed pattern, a black blouse and subtle silver jewelry. Her husband, in turn, emphasized the style with a scarf tied around his neck. This seems to be the couple's favorite style, as they also chose this type of twin styling for movie premieres and other events. It's clear that they both feel best in this look. Photos from the Polityka Passports gala and other joint events can be found in our gallery at the top of the page.

Her husband was predicted by a fortune teller. Marek Koterski fell in love with the stage
The couple has been together for almost 20 yearsgot married after several years of dating. In 2004, Koterski and Bogdańska met in the theater during rehearsals for his play “Us three“. He had been divorced and going through a long time ago (he separated from his first wife in the 1980s). She, also a divorcee, raised her son on her own. As she mentioned in interviews, she went to an astrologer. There she received a prophecy – that she would have a lover with film industry, but it was about a make-up artist. Later, she met the director, who noticed her after the rehearsal. At that time, he already had a lot of film achievements. “I entered the stage and I said: very good I liked you. And she says: I'm very happy that you liked me as an actress. I replied: “as an actress too, but above all as a woman,” he said in one of the interviews. Finally, they made an appointment, and after the first meeting, Małgorzata allegedly said: “You're brilliant!” As Koterski recalled, she also refused to let him join his group. home “for a book”, which made him very happy.
As the director said in interviews, his second wife taught him how to love. His first marriage was unhappy, and years ago Koterski (like later his son, Michał, from his first relationship) was immersed in addiction, which he overcame with time. “My first love in life was Michał, but I didn't know how to love then” – confessed the director in “Good morning TVN“. “We don't make any special effort to maintain our relationship. But all it takes is for us not to see each other for a while and we're already texting each other and sending kisses. We really wanted to succeed,” Małgorzata Bogdańska said about the relationship in an interview with the media. Recently, he even appeared with his stepmother on the sofa of the “Hello Tu Polsat” breakfast club.
