Susanne Najafi’s family – does she have children?
Susanne Najafi has three children with her husband.
In an interview with The Express she has previously told us what it’s like to balance a busy working life with being a mother of small children.
– I see no limitations. I am a mother where everything is possible, and am very spontaneous. I trust to solve things in the moment and live extremely much in the moment. Then you connect a lot with the children because they also live in the present. But if it’s very organized and nice at home? Absolutely not. I can trip over the vacuum cleaner for a week and not think about moving it. But I don’t see it, I’m with my children.
