Tessa Dunlop refers to her husband as Vlad in her interviews. Vlad is not his real name as he does not like publicity. And, the story of how Tessa first met him is one of a kind. At the age of 19, she went to Romania to teach English. That is where she found the love of her life. However, they did not fall in love at the time. And it never occurred as love to them as she was 19. While her future husband was only 12 years of age then. It was later when they realized their love for each other and romance sparked between them. At that time, she was already well-off whereas he was a 19-year-old unemployed guy.
