Romanita Iovan, Disclosures About Her Relationship With Irinel Columbeanu: “I Had To Wear Sandals Without Heels”.

Romanita Iovan and Irinel Columbeanu formed a couple more than three decades ago, when they decided to go their separate ways. After their love story ended, the two remained with a beautiful friendship. For many years it was rumored that the businessman was the one who financially supported Romanita in her career in fashion. She denied everything, saying that Irinel Columbeanu was not financially powerful at that time, but was just starting out.

Invited to the “Home at Măruță” podcast, Romanita Iovan told how she met Irinel Columbeanu. The fashion designer says of the former millionaire that he was “a smart, charismatic boy”. The star launched as a mannequin and photo model at the UCECOM creative center, where Irinel often came to fashion shows.

“I met Irinel in our halls, he used to come to our presentations. From the time of Ceaușescu, he came to presentations. He was friends with one of the girls and there was a phase of that, he had an Oltcit at the time. I was coming home, I was staying at Balta Albă, I was staying in those blocks with soldiers. I was going to 311 to go home and I passed by that gas station behind the National Theater. And he was there, putting gas in Oltcit. He was with a girl, she knew me and asked me “Oo, Romanita, what are you doing?”.

“I didn’t even notice him. He noticed me instead”

I didn’t even notice it. He noticed me instead. He asked that woman what I was doing, found out and got hold of the phone. A friend called, that is, a colleague, Sanda, and she was the one who said to me “Dude, a nomenclature boy wants to meet you”. Yes, his father was secretary in seven governments, since Petru Groza. Yes, they were city boys, but also smart,” the fashion designer recalled.

Romanita Iovan told on Cătălin Măruță’s podcast how she came to meet Irinel Columbeanu. “On March 8, in 1989, before the Revolution, when we, all the girls, had talked about going out to eat at a restaurant, it was a phase. The gang broke up, one because I don’t know what to do, another the same, and I proposed to Sanda that we go out with that guy. And he comes, with the Oltcit. It was very elegant,” she said.

“He started coming to presentations, bringing me flowers, I decided quite late”

The fashion designer was not impressed by the businessman at first. Romanita Iovan even made a joke and said that she had to give up her high heels to go out with him.

“The man came, took us by car and said he had a video tape to leave and stopped us on the right. He did this to give me an opportunity to get out of the car and leave. It was super classy stuff. We went to eat, with Sanda’s gang. Then he started coming to presentations, bringing me flowers, I decided quite late. The very smart, charismatic guy, even though he was like that… I had to wear sandals without a heel. He was smart. I think he had something like that, a model. It took a while, the Revolution brought us together”, she also said, according to digifm.ro.

“We broke up because each wanted something else”

Romanita Iovan and Irinel Columbeanu broke up in 1996 and she explained why. “We broke up because each wanted something else. We remained very good friends. We were young, each wanted something else. The lesson I learned from Irinel was that you should not ask for help unless you are on the edge of the precipice”.

“Our friendship is longer than our love!”

Currently, the fashion designer has a civilized relationship with Irinel Columbeanu and they have remained friends. The businessman ended up with a wooden hoe and lost his entire fortune, but Romanița Iovan helped him financially when she could.

“He had to start walking again. He was left half paralyzed. I talk to him. When he needs me, he looks for me and I help him. He also met Iulian, represented him in some trials. Our friendship is longer than our love!”
