Singer Katri Helenan, 80, husband Tommi Liimatainen, 48, says Me in an interview with Women about his fatherhood dreams.

Liimatainen has no children of his own, but he would like to be a father in the future.

– I have dreamed of my own children and I have not given up on the dream. There’s still time here! I still have a lot of time if you think about, for example, Sauli Niinistö’s paternity, says Liimatainen in an interview with Me Naiset magazine.

President Sauli Niinistö had his youngest child, Aaron, at the age of 69.

Katri Helena has three children. Son Juha died at the age of 33 from an illness.

17 years of love

Liimatainen and Katri Helena have been dating for 17 years. Before falling in love, Liimatainen was Katri Helena’s manager. Last year, the couple’s relationship deepened into cohabitation.

Katri Helena is 32 years older than Liimatai. Liimatainen told Iltalehti earlier in the fall that his common-law wife’s aging – or his own aging – does not worry him.

– There is nothing to be afraid of here, just live. It’s easier now that I’m old too. When we met, I was 31 years old. Now I’m already an older guy, Tommi told Iltalehte.
