Max Kruse and his wife Dilara give private insights – and show how arguments keep their relationship alive.
Things don’t go smoothly for Max Kruse and his wife Dilara – and that seems to be completely fine for both of them. The former national player and the influencer have been a couple for five years. The fact that things sometimes fly is part of everyday life for them.
At the celebrity boxing event “Fame Fighting,” the duo spoke openly to “Bild” about their relationship. Dilara said she loves to tease her husband. “If someone tells me that they don’t argue, that’s the biggest lie. I like to argue with my husband, it’s fun for me,” says Dilara Kruse. Max Kruse commented that Dilara probably needed this “to get things going” and to revive her temper. Often it’s not even about anything concrete. “It was made out of thin air to have an argument,” explained the 37-year-old.
Classic everyday topics such as the household also regularly cause discussions. Kruse claimed he almost always does the laundry and “takes out the trash 90 percent of the time.” A housekeeper takes care of 80 percent of the cleaning of the apartment. Overall, he sees the split between himself and Dilara at 95 to 5. An assessment that his wife promptly rejected: “That’s not true,” she contradicted.
When things get serious, Dilara has the more active role in the dispute, as she herself says. Max Kruse explained that people often wait out conflicts – sometimes for several days. “Then Dilara thinks of something she needs help with and acts as if everything is fine.” He himself apologizes for his mistakes, he emphasized.
