At the end of last year, Dan Alexa (46 years old), the coach of Poli Timișoara, and Denise Rifai (40 years old) were caught by the paparazzi on several occasions and it was written that they were together.
They will go on vacation.
The TV star, however, cleared things up and came clean. Rifai revealed that he met Alexa when he had her on the show he was hosting at the time, and later there was no question of a relationship in the true sense of the word, but only of a friendship.
Denise Rifai, about her relationship with Dan Alexa: “We had nothing to hide”
“It wasn’t a relationship. Do you know what the case is? It was a real month of… The two of us went to the numerologist, meaning it reached a point of insanity. The man and I didn’t know each other. (No. Just friends, buddies?) Yes! I am a very fair, very honest woman. If we had had a relationship, I wouldn’t hide.
I am an unmarried woman, he was not a married man, so we had no reason to hide if we were in a relationship. We went for a coffee, he had come from Timisoara and asked me to go and meet him for a coffee, and I, because I want to stop this absurdity… I am a woman.
Where can I meet a man, my guest? Politician, actor, footballer, athlete, whatever he is. I went to a public space. Moreover, the man had come, he didn’t have a car, because he was in Timișoara. It’s madness. He’s an ok guy, Dan, yes, but it wasn’t meant to be,” said Denise Rifai, on the podcast “Măruță’s Sauces”.
Dan Alexa divorced Andrada in 2025 after finding out she cheated on him
Last summer, Dan Alexa divorced Andrada, the woman he was married to for 6 years and with whom he has a son, after the coach discovered that his wife cheated on him with businessman Alex Bodi.
“I wouldn’t have divorced a second time, but what happened happened and that was it. This idea of a family had been created in my mind, especially after Asia Express. I said: `That’s it, I’m going to have a family, I’m going to have another child,’ things were very clear. It was a shock, not that it happened, I didn’t have a perfect marriage, to have a shock.
