The couple has remained a public favorite ever since, and their family life is often celebrated. Balássy and Varga are parents to three children: Róza, Dani, and Miksa. They recently appeared together on the show “Csináljuk a fesztivált!” (“Let’s Do the Festival!”), and continue to radiate the same chemistry that made them a fan favorite years ago.
– We have to structure our lives around the kids’ schedules 98 percent of the time. As a father of many children, I no longer see the future solely in terms of myself, but in terms of my kids. We’ve received a lot of offers for shows, but we’ve had to say no because it would mean someone – either mom or dad – wouldn’t be there for them. Our children come first now! – Varga told Hot! magazine.
– We’re like pizza delivery drivers. I sometimes joke with Feri that he’s on the four-cheese run today, but then the ham and pineapple is my responsibility for getting to practice. We’re constantly on the go, but it doesn’t even feel challenging anymore – tadded Balássy.
The couple still looks fantastic together, showing minimal signs of aging over the past 23 years. Varga’s hair has gained some silver strands, and his beard is also showing some gray, but Balássy appears even more radiant than ever, having undergone a remarkable 40-kilogram (88-pound) weight loss. Her transformation has garnered attention in Hungarian media.
