The pair first met in 2002 and are enjoying each other's company till this day. Zlatan and Helena belong to a low profile celebrity couple as they have not disclosed how their relationship began, although it's common knowledge they are a delightful duo.
Talking about their successful relationship, Helena revealed the secret to it when she said:
"We’re together because we have so much fun together."
The couple shares two children together. After four years of their beautiful relationship, the pair welcomed their first child, a son named Maximilian Ibrahimovic who was born in 2006.
The lovebirds' second child was born in 2008 named Vincent Ibrahimovic. In 2016, Ibrahimovic's two sons joined the Manchester United academy and trained with the players of their respective age groups.

Previously, while Zlatan was plying his trade in French Ligue 1 with Paris Saint Germain, he rented an apartment in Paris for $30,000 per month.
Talking of Zlatan's partner, Helena Seger is a former model and actress born in Lindesberg, Sweden. French tabloids labeled her the "Queen Bee of French WAGs" ever since Ibrahimovic joined PSG. In 2010, Seger made the cover of Elle Magazine.
As per The Telegraph, Ibrahimovic was once asked what he got his girlfriend for her birthday. Zlatan responded in the typical Zlatan manner. He said:
“Nothing. She already has Zlatan.”
It remains to be seen when these long-term partners decide to take their relationship forward, but it's definitely admirable the fact that they are in each other's company for so long.
