Amalia Kostopoulou: Life in the US, a serious car accident, and her engagement with entrepreneur Jake Mendwell

Amalia Kostopoulou, the eldest daughter of Petros Kostopoulos and Jenny Balatsinou, is currently living one of the happiest periods of her life, marked by both professional success and personal milestones

Newsroom February 18 08:43

Living in the US for the past few years, she has been making strides in the marketing field while building a new life full of challenges and opportunities.

However, it hasn’t been all smooth sailing. In 2020, Amalia was involved in a serious car accident while traveling with friends in Los Angeles. A reckless driver ran a stop sign and collided with their vehicle at high speed, causing it to flip several times. Amalia sustained fractures in two ribs and required surgery on her pelvis. Her mother, Jenny Balatsinou, was immediately by her side despite the challenges posed by the pandemic.

Despite these hardships, Amalia’s professional life has flourished. Currently working as a marketing manager in Los Angeles, she often travels back to Greece to visit her family. Amalia has shared that while it’s difficult being far from her loved ones, especially her siblings, she cherishes her life in LA and has built a close-knit circle of friends who make her feel at home.

In an exciting turn of events, Amalia recently shared her engagement with entrepreneur Jake Mendwell on social media. The 28-year-old posted a picture with her fiancé, showing off her stunning engagement ring. “More than I ever prayed for,” she captioned the photo, receiving an outpouring of congratulations from her followers.
