Iikka Forss and Heidi Naakka

Since the couple works in the same field, they understand especially well when the other needs more of their own time and when the partner needs support.

Actress Iikka Forss, 45, arrived at the invited guest night of the new movie Mielsäpahoidat – In search of Eskorttia together with her partner, dance artist Heidi Naaka. Forss tells Iltalehti that he is currently starting autumn activities in his own life.

– Here are the roof repairs and others for all the cabins in the world. Everything is going well in life, a nice balance between work and free time, Forss is happy to Iltalehti.

Forss says that he did some work projects during the summer, which are secret for now. Early autumn is also calm, which means that the couple has time to spend more time together.

A special skill

Forss reveals one new skill he had to learn for a TV series. The final result will be visible later.

– I learned pole dancing! It went brilliantly, or as well as it can ever go in ten dance lessons! Forss laughs.

Forss says with a twinkle in his eye that he will continue to learn new skills with his coach.

– Yes, we agreed that I will return to the matter. It left such a spark because it’s a really challenging sport and you could only scratch it, says the actor.

Jobs and relationship

Naakka works in Helsinki City Theater’s contemporary dance group called Helsinki Dance Company. Since the couple works in the same field, there is an understanding of each other’s busy schedules. The two say in unison that their relationship is doing very well.

– At the moment, we also have a lot of time for our relationship, because we have premieres on consecutive days in November! Naakka is happy looking at Forss.

Naakka says that she is grateful that the couple works in the same field. In this case, they have enough understanding for each other in those moments when they don’t necessarily have time to spend time as closely or otherwise keep in touch.

– We know how to give each other space when we need it, says Naakka.

– Fortunately, we have facetimes and others, so that if we are in different cities, we can also see each other’s faces! You can then call in the evening and tell someone about your work day! Forss continues.

Forss describes that he “processes” work matters more in his own head, while Naakka tells things more to his partner.

– It’s probably a bit of a personality issue, what is the need to talk. But we don’t really talk, to some extent, says Naakka.

– I guess that’s actually my subconscious thought, that duunit is separate and we focus on each other alone, Forss says thoughtfully.

“Okay like this”

The couple says that they spend a lot of time together going out and doing ordinary everyday chores. Forss and Naakka were also enthusiastic about the shopping trip, which resulted in Forss’s balcony getting an autumnal atmosphere with candles and lanterns. New eyeglasses and sunglasses were also included.

– We really smelled money! Forss laughs.

The couple does not live together, but lives their new family life in two homes. Both Forss and Naaka have children from their previous relationships.

– There is no money or to rent a room where we can all fit. There should be at least five bedrooms, Forss agonizes while laughing.

– This is all good like this, Naakka concludes.

Mind blowing – Looking for an Eskortti premiere on September 9.
