Same impression Eos, and I don't like it. I HAAAAAAAAATE this guy. He's 20 years older than her, married with two daughters (15 and 17), and he's positively mad. But if Natalia dreams about being the muse of a famous artist here he is...
And I don't like Natalia simply answering Justin is the only man in his children's life, when she is asked about HER own life. And really really really I can't understand why justin has been absent for so long, and is not even present in this kind of such honorific circumstance for Natalia. This Chapman seems to be her tender escort :yuckky:
I do not Natalia think it has something with Dinos Chapman, he attended the event with his wife, is always accompanied by her, he just came out in photos and at the time of award, which participated in the pictures of December, plus it also created a figure for love ball auction in February ... I honestly think he is Natalia's friends that she only uses for his foundation and nothing else.
Natalia has many friends alike, that only uses them for his foundation.
About Justin, on November 13 is the founding event in Abu Dhabi, if Justin does not attend the event, I think that might mean that Justin came out of the activities of natalia.
He has no activities, so there's no reason, not to attend the event.
Yeah, I've seen the videos and I don't think there's anything palpable between the two of them. I mean, she's normally like this, and it seems to me that the excitement of the moment overwhelmed her. The thing is, had Justin been there, we'd never be having this discussion. Natalia's behaviour in the videos doesn't much differ from the usual Natalia Vodianova behaviour, as seen many, many times before. It's her husband's absence that makes us look for ghosts everywhere.
I don't think Justin will be in Abu Dhabi in November 13th, although he's listed as one of the co-founders of the Naked Heart Foundation. He should be there, but somehow I think he won't be. I hope I'm wrong! I'll gladly eat my hat if he does make an appeareance! But something weird happened by the end of 2009 that precipitated these "new living arrangements", as Natalia put it. New living arrangements sound much more like a couple living in different houses, as opposed to a husband not accompany his wife anywhere anymore. But I must be wrong. After all, they both firmly deny separation, divorce, open marriage (I still have a nagging feeling about this one) or any sort of marriage breakdown.
I agree with Sunshine06, Natalia's words sometimes seem too carefully chosen, as if she was avoiding to say what she means. So far, she has abstained from direct reference to her husband, which is something she has never, ever done. Natalia always shone with pride to mention Justin and, nowadays, she dances around this issue. But, well, Natalia did say in that Mail UK note that she and Justin are closer than ever. I don't know, I can't help but feel that she's trying to accomodate him the best way she can. This work overdrive is a telltale sign, as much as his absence from every major public event in her life for the last year. I wish them the best, whatever happens.
