She tells the Portuguese media about her husband's passion and where his interests lie.
"He is a strong person, does not cry easily, but he is very concerned about humanitarian issues," she said.
Asked about her background and how she came to Portugal, she replied: "I'm living in Vila Nova de Gaia, but I'm a native of Hamburg, Germany but always loved Portugal.
{I was 14 when I came here the first time, specifically the Algarve, and was blown away.
"That was how I came to the Portugal. And Porto is, in my opinion, an extraordinary city with many beautiful buildings and bridges everywhere.
"I love the Atlantic, the Portuguese lifestyle and good food."
She admits enjoying her stay in Portugal though he never gave the idea of staying away from a her native Hamburg a chance.
"Yeah, it's true. I've never done anything like that but I like it a lot. Never thought it was a job so fun and funny to do. I love the experience! These are moments that will stay in my heart."

April 09, 2013 09:26 pmBoredom, what boredom in a foreign land and as a player of a wellknown (world)club? I hope they both sought very good counselling and legal advice before marriage! "Its a long journey, VERY LONG JOURNEY!"! For better or .... ! From now onwards its 50 - 50 what you both earn or lose! It doesn't matter whether you earn $200.-- and she $5000.-- at the end of the day its HAS to 50/50, UNLESS you os she HAS TAKEN THE "RIGHT" STEPS OR ARE VERY SURE OF YOUR "HEART"! IT IS NOT THE AGE WHICH IS IMPORTANT, BUT RATHER THE HEART!!!Fiifi, Berlin says:
