The 51-year-old former model Adriana Karembeu is about to divorce for the second time. But why does she still bear the name of her first husband, footballer Christian Karembeu?
Adriana Karembeu is certainly no longer to present. Star of the catwalks since the end of the 90s, her career took off with the Wonderbra ad, in 1998, and its legendary slogan “Look Me In The Eyes”. Her endless legs have made the whole world dream. The star has worked with the greatest in the world of couture: Thierry Mugler, who died last year, Karl Lagerfeld, Valentino… In 2011, she divorced the world champion Christian Karembeu, but she always kept the name. In 2014, she married businessman Aram Ohanian, with whom she has a little girl named Nina, born in 2018 after several miscarriages. The divorce is announced and Adriana is single again.
Everyone is asking the question: why Adriana Karembeu kept the name of her first husband. We already imagine that it is a question of notoriety. However, more than 10 years after their separation and a second marriage, she could very well have adopted the surname of wife Ohanian.

Adriana, Eternal Karembeu
In the columns of Closer magazine, Adriana Karembeu confided: “In my home country, Slovakia, it was customary to keep your husband’s surname after a divorce, until the next marriage. It would also seem that Christian Karembeu and the model has signed an agreement allowing Adriana to keep this last name as an artist name, in the event of a divorce. However, on official papers, the star bears the name of her second husband.
Thus, Adriana Karembeu has been able to keep this surname all these years and it must be admitted, we cannot imagine it otherwise. The public would have been disturbed by such a change. However, the footballer does not see the use of his family name with a good eye. He even said that it bothered him. And yes, it’s not easy to rebuild your life when one of the most beautiful women in the world bears your name and therefore the trace of a common past!
