AC MILAN star Zlatan Ibrahimovic met his long-term partner when she confronted him about his bad parking.
Helena Seger, 52, has been with the Swedish legend for two decades and she has revealed the unusual way they met.
The model claims she furiously went over to Ibrahimovic, 41, to tell him to move his car that was blocking her vehicle in and it was love at first sight.
She Elle magazine: "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."
Both her and the former Manchester United star are known for their sometimes fiery personality and dedication to their profession.

Seger said: "It's not easy to live with him, but I admit it, it isn't with myself either.
"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."
The couple have two sons - Maximilian, 16, and Vincent, 14 - but despite Ibrahimovic and Seger being together since 2002 they are not married.
She lifted the lid on why they haven't tied the knot: "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."
Seger is a model and also manages her business portfolio with reports suggesting she is in charge of a real estate company in Italy.
Ibrahimovic won the Serie A title last season with AC Milan but he is yet to feature this campaign as he is out with a bad knee injury.
There has been claims it could force him into retirement but the 14-time league winner dismissed speculation saying: "I am arrogant, zero fear. I’m well, I’m working every day to come back.
"You will surely see it. When I come back, I will be heard, you can count on it. I will do it with violence."
