Kalle and Riina-Maija got married in 2007, and they have three children together. They have a prenuptial agreement that makes sense, especially in today’s marriages.

“It eroded my self-esteem”
Some time ago before filing for divorce, Riina-Maija opened up about her experiences as the wife of a former alpine skier in the Kaksoiselämää podcast.
“The life of a top athlete’s spouse is strongly associated with prejudice. I didn’t think that his status would affect me in any way. Of course, it affected everything and how people viewed me very negatively. It was thought that I live on someone else’s money or that I don’t do anything. Then she was considered beautiful, but stupid”, Riina-Maija told Kaksoiselämää on the podcast recently.
Nasty comments and feedback greatly affected Riina-Maija’s self-esteem.
“It eroded my self-esteem, and I became a silent snob. I was at home for ten years without going out even to a bar for a single drink. I felt that I’m nothing and I can’t do anything because I’m with a certain person. Yes, I got really depressed. I was a complete ghost of what I had been before. I didn’t even keep in touch with friends or even family members, I was at home with the children,” Riina-Maija continues in the podcast.
The move saved
Moving to Spain saved Riina-Maija from depression and made her appreciate herself again.
“The role model was my old childhood friend, who called me and said he was worried about me when I hadn’t kept in touch with people. He said something had to be done now and at that point I realized I had to save myself. It was a big process, but I decided that I would save myself. One aspect of it was that I moved here to Spain with the children,” Riina-Maija continues in the Kaksoiselämää podcast.
The amazingly gorgeous Riina-Maija Palander is the kind of person you want to be.
