Diego Forlan and Zaira Nara in Madrid
- How to live this long distance relationship?
Diego: The get along pretty well. Every time we talk on the phone and now that Zaira has a job that allows you to travel more often, we see at least once a month.
Zaira: All this coming and going and we have oil, but because we have no other, so the distance relationship. Still, it costs you always, always suffer, you always feel the same. Personally, I find it hard to be in Buenos Aires and perhaps unable to arrange an outing with him and my friends. Yes, however, learned to live our relationship in another way, to enjoy from elsewhere. The good thing is that we are both very organized. A mid-year, grabbed the agenda and coordinate parties, parades and programs to see when is the best time to see us. So when we meet we try to be together as much as possible. Fortunately, in this second part of the year I come every twenty days. If not, I swear, it's hopeless.
- Have you got used to the laid off or still have trouble too?
Zaira: No. I was distressed, I'm more emotional and it costs me a lot. I can not help, saying goodbye is something I do not get used term. Anyway, the two try to find the positive side. We have a relationship in which both greatly respect each other's work. I love making Diego and the professionalism he has with his career. And he, at the same time, she loves going to see me work. That's good. It's really nice seeing the other grow. Today, what separates us also unite us, because when we're together we share much everything that happens, a party of his or my last campaign.
- What is most strange that after the game?
Diego: More than anything else, day to day. I live everyday with her when we're together. Fortunately, what we carry and the truth is that we make many sacrifices. Somehow, that also makes the relationship to flow every day.
- What activities do you share?
Diego: We are both very quiet. We love eating out, going to movies, take walks or just relaxing at home. I have my brother with his wife, who lives two blocks and a cousin who is in Madrid. With them we organize for an exit.
Zaira: In general, we like to do the same things, go have a snack bar, watch television shows and playing Play Station ... we love it!
- Who gives more skill in the kitchen?
Diego: I really like it. Many years living alone and had to learn to survive. Over time, I was passing my old recipes. One dish we like is the chop suey. The important thing is not to be rushed and enjoy this moment. So while I talk with Zaira cook or watch the news.
Zaira: Since I'm in the program's Kitchen show, I swear I'm more motivated. Good thing I do as an obligation. On the other hand, we eat very healthy too, so what we usually requires little elaboration. For example, a dish he loves the ham and cheese pie, but with homemade dough. So I love her, but is a recipe from her mother. Sometimes it comes at three in the morning of a party and asking for the cake.
- Almost two years ago they met at a nightclub in Buenos Aires. Do you remember how it was that first impression?
Diego: Beyond the beauty of Zaira, I was immediately attracted to its simplicity. Despite being very young at the time she was 19, was very mature. One could spend hours talking quietly with her. I remember that struck me was how the record straight. There was chemistry. Then as we got to know, we realized that we also shared the same way of seeing the world.
Zaira: One thing that attracted me from the beginning was the humility of Diego. He remains the same since he left for Uruguay. Continues to defend its values and unconditional love he feels for his family, which is the same as I live mine. That was a key point in my relationship. For me it would be hard to love someone and not share the things I think are most important.
- What do you most enjoy this relationship?
Diego: Your company. Despite the distance and the moments we're apart, when we're together a lot of fun, we are very peers. It's unbelievable but our ways of being are very similar and we complement each other very well.
Zaira: I love how easy it is to be with him. It's a super simple man, never discuss or fight. I like that, besides being engaged, we are such good friends.
- Are there plans for Zaira is filed permanently in Spain?
Zaira: In recent times came good opportunities to work here, but I did not make a hasty decision. Diego is in Spain today, but you never know, the race of the players change all the time. Nor do I get my hopes that he will be a lifetime in Madrid ... I would love, but you never know. I love my job, my family and my country. But there is nothing to bind me: I want to be with him, Diego is my priority. All in time, opting things alone. I'm still a girl!
Diego: Today we're both really enjoying the moment is living with her modeling career and driving in Argentina. And so we are making the sacrifices we make. Zaira respect very much how it works and how to operate on TV. I enjoy seeing her work. And it is his way of being what I like about it.
- Are you jealous?
Diego: No I'm super jealous. A Zaira the model being met. I trust her and know that the productions which are very elegant. Like, 'I can not deny I am a little jealous, but I remain within normal parameters.
- Marriage is a topic of conversation?
Diego: There is an issue that worries us today. But as I'm getting to Zaira, I feel that every day I'm falling in love more. And yes, in that sense I can imagine a future together with her.
Zaira: Marriage is a topic we try to maintain privacy. So far, this year we are committed to coexistence. We do not want to spend more time apart.
