While some may know her as Cristiano Ronaldo’s ex, there’s more to uncover behind the title of Bulgaria’s most successful model and influencer.

As an influencer, do you agree to advertise everything and especially what products you emphasize?
I work with an agency that selects submissions for me. I then choose the ones I’m compassionate about, try them out, and shoot when the time is right. I’m not waiting for shipments at the door for a new shampoo as a gift to be photographed. I don’t think my account looks like a “Dollar” store.

Many of our readers would like to ask – what exactly is the life of an influencer and how much do they bring in? What would you say the average monthly cost of an influencer?
Let’s say I don’t have an average daily life. I’ll just say that I’m the most expensive in Bulgaria!

You met the founder of our magazine Gaël Bonnel Sanchez at New Boyana Film Studios for a photo shoot of an international brand BALMAIN, what other brands have you photographed for?
My acquaintance with Gaël Bonnel Sanchez was very pleasant. I was captivated by his demeanor, and as for the brands, It can be seen everywhere on my Instagram profile.

Would you ever star in a movie?
I think I would like to first rather star in a series. Only then will I feel ready for a role in a feature film.

Many of the young models today have an opinion that they require enhancements to be successful, one needs to have silicone and plastic surgeries. What is your opinion?
I never hide my opinion. Silicone has long been a catchphrase for women with questionable ethics and morals. To be successful you need many qualities and factors, I personally put silicone last.

What is the funniest and most painful thing you have heard regarding yourself in the tabloids or people?
I haven’t read the gossip rags in years. My last memories are from the Paparazzi period, when I was interested insuch things… Today, I don’t even pay attention when someone tells me, “Do you know what it says about you?”

It was said that you had an intimate relationship with Cristiano Ronaldo. What is the truth?
Everyone can speculate. Including me!

And with Philip Plein?
Philip and I are friends. A very nice and polite person who has no limit to his dreams.

You have been happily in love with the goalkeeper of the Bulgarian national football team for several years. Are you already thinking about a wedding?
No, I don’t think about it and I don’t want a wedding.

You already have a daughter from your marriage with the football player Valeri Bozhinov – Nicole. Is she trying to copy you already and does she want to become a model or an influencer or has she turned to something else?
Nicole is still young to know exactly what she wants. But whatever she chooses, I will support her decision.
