Birthday boy Zlatan Ibrahimovic met his long-time partner Helena Seger when she demanded he move his poorly parked Ferrari.

Ibrahimovic, who turns 41 today (October 3), drew the ire of Helena, 52, whose Mercedes had been blocked in by one of his flashy supercars as they first crossed paths in their native Sweden. The model and businesswoman recalled their love-at-first-sight moment in an interview with French magazine Elle.

She said: "He had parked his Ferrari badly in a car park in Malmo. He had done so in a way that prevented my Mercedes from coming out. Quite gruffly, I told him to move it right away. And yes, he saw something that he liked."

Despite their bumpy start, the pair have been together for two decades since their chance 2002 meeting. Their sons Maximilian and Vincent are now aged 16 and 14 respectively.

And Helena acknowledges that the strong-willed Ibrahimovic isn't the only stubborn one in the relationship. "It's not easy to live with him, but I admit it, it isn't with myself either," she continued.

In fact, they are very similar characters altogether, with Helena taking immense pride in her work just as Ibra has done throughout his legendary career with the likes of PSG and Manchester United.

Such is their independent nature that the pair are yet to marry, with Helena adding: "I think I like Zlatan because I stand up to him, I too have an important background and I have built my career with a lot of sacrifice.

"Getting married could disturb my sense of independence. I don't want to be labelled simply as the wife of a player, or the winner of a beauty contest.

"I think people don't know how much I have studied, worked and fought."
