This financial strain,coupled with a “compulsion” to succeed,prompted a significant career shift.
The actor acknowledged the impact of his dedication to his work on his personal life, specifically his marriage. While now living separately from his children’s mother, Vályi emphasized his continued active role in their lives. He detailed frequent visits, often involving over a one-hour drive from his current residence, and regular shared activities. “If I have it, we organize programs or mumble something, socialize with my friends. We spent half the summer together, and now I have fun for the weekend. And even though I live for more than one -hour highway, I meet a lot on weekdays as I work in the capital,” Vályi stated, according to 24.hu.
