Mac McAloon celebrates nine years with Brenda Song as summer love surges
Greek actor Lefteris Eleftheriou confirms quiet 2023 divorce after 22-year marriage
Mac McAloon has marked nine years with Brenda Song by declaring in the latest issue of *Marie Claire Greece*, released on Sunday, that he wakes up each morning beside “the love of my life.” The actor’s tribute appears in a summer edition whose cover theme—“We live summer as it deserves: with joy, freedom, and gratitude for every moment”—frames relationships as part of a broader celebration of seasonal renewal.
The announcement arrives as cultural commentators note a wider summer-season surge in relationship milestones. In Estonia, psychologist Kairi Õunapuu observed that long-term couples often experience a “fraysexual” shift—an attraction that cools once deeper intimacy sets in—rather than the more commonly cited culprits of routine or boredom. Meanwhile, Dutch readers debated a contrasting dynamic: RTL’s “Love Lesson” column featured Janyka, 49, who described mounting resentment at her role as sole breadwinner while her partner, artist Berend, remains financially dependent. “He lies on the couch all day and I work myself to the bone,” she wrote. “It makes me furious that he’s fine with that.”
Across the continent, summer travel advisories are also reshaping relationship logistics. Finnish health authorities warned on Tuesday against visiting popular Mediterranean destinations, citing elevated health risks; the warning follows similar cautions from Estonian officials who now urge citizens to rediscover domestic landscapes.
In geopolitics, Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko issued an apology to Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelensky on Wednesday, acknowledging that his earlier criticisms had been excessive and stressing that Minsk poses no threat to Kyiv.
From celebrity confessions to psychological research and budget diaries, this week’s reporting underscores how summer—traditionally a season of reinvention—reveals both the fragility and the resilience of human bonds.

Saladuslik põhjus, miks pikaajalistest suhetest kaob kirg Kas oled kunagi märganud, et suhte alguse peadpööritav kirg ja seksuaalne tõmme jahtuvad täpselt sel hetkel, kui õpid oma partnerit sügavamalt tundma? Sageli kiputakse sellises olukorras süüdistama rutiini, igavust või hirmu pühendumise ees. Kuid psühholoogide sõnul võib mängus olla midagi hoopis muud – vähetuntud seksuaalne orientatsioon nimega freiseksuaalsus (fraysexuality).
