In an interview with Prive, actress Adriana Matoshi publicly confessed her relationship with Keith Groeneveld, a 21-year-old South African-born footballer who was recently part of Feronikeli, the football club of the town of Drenas in Kosovo. In her interview, Adriana confessed that she met Keith by chance and the two did not know each other. "We fell in love with each other's souls," she said.
"We have talked about many topics and I can say that I have not had such communication with anyone," added the actress, mother of four children from her relationship with her ex-husband Albert Sylejmani.
One day after the interview, the Kosovo Cinema Center announced that Adriana Matoshi won the award for "Best Actress" at the Mostra de Valencia festival for her role in the film " Fairy " directed by Antoneta Kastrati. The award, the most in the actress' career and the few for her role in "Zana", seems to have gone unnoticed, as some people dealt with her new relationship. Many of them gave themselves the right to comment on the fact that Keith is 21 years old, 19 years younger than Matoshi, and at the same time is African. Others called the connection "pedophile."
People's comments also provoked the reaction of well-known names in Kosovo, such as the Minister of Culture, Youth and Sports, Vlora Dumoshi, journalist Burat Buzhala, moderator Liberta Spahiu, etc., who criticized the negative comments.
In addition to the negative reaction on social networks, there are other people who point out that no one can give themselves the right to judge the love affair of the persons in question. In addition, the actress' romance has highlighted another problem, racism, because in addition to age, some of the comments relate to the fact that Keith is African.
"Love and connection make me neither a better nor a worse person. "Love can only make me happy." - The actress wrote on Instagram.
