Prince Nikolaos of Greece Engaged 9 Months After Shock Divorce from Princess Tatiana

Royal wedding bells will ring in Greece, because Prince Nikolaos is getting married.

On Jan. 22, Hello! reported that Prince Nikolaos, 55, has proposed to Chrysí Vardinogianni, citing confirmation from Hello! Greece. The update comes nine months after the Greek royal family announced that Prince Nikolaos and his wife, Princess Tatiana, were divorcing after 13 years of marriage.

PEOPLE has contacted the office of the former royal family of Greece for further comment.

Prince Nikolaos is the son of Queen Anne-Marie and the late King Constantine, the last King of Greece. The office of the former royal family of Greece announced in April 2024 that Nikolaos and Tatiana (née Blatnik) were divorcing "amicably," and the prince is set to get married again.

Nikolaos and Chrysí, the daughter of ship owner Giorgos Vardinogiannis, reportedly plan to wed "in a very private ceremony" attended by only "close friends and family," Hello! Greece said. On Jan. 17, Proto Thema published footage of the pair walking together down the street. The Greek newspaper said that the Chrysí accompanied Prince Nikolaos to the memorial service marking the second anniversary of his father King Constantine's death at Tatoi, the Greek royal family's former summer palace, and the luncheon after.

Chrysí reportedly split from actor Konstantinos Markoulakis in December 2023 after five years together, and allegedly attended the wedding of Prince Nikolaos' sister, Princess Theodora, in September 2024. Chrysí and Nikolaos were not publicly photographed together at the celebration in Athens, where Princess Theodora tied the knot at the same church where her parents wed in 1964.

Prince Nikolaos is moving on less than a year after his divorce from Princess Tatiana, 44, was announced.

"We wish to inform you of a significant and heartfelt decision made by TRH Prince Nikolaos and Princess Tatiana. After 14 years of marriage, they have chosen to amicably dissolve their union," the Greek royal family's office said in a statement on April 19.

"This decision was reached with great care and mutual respect, reflecting the depth of their appreciation for one another and the moments they have shared. Their future interactions will continue to be guided by these same principles of respect and understanding, as they transition into a relationship rooted in a strong friendship. They will continue to live and build their lives in Greece, a place they both call home," it continued. "The Family will always support them."

Nikolaos and Tatiana, who was born in Venezuela, married at the Cathedral of Ayios Nikolaos on the island of Spetses in August 2010. The former couple, who had no children, pursued private careers — Nikolaos in photography, and Tatiana in social impact — after getting married, and most recently lived in Athens.

The former royal couple's most recent appearance together was at the thanksgiving service honoring King Constantine at St. George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle in February 2024. Members of both the Greek and British royal families came out in full force for the service, including Queen Camilla, Princess Anne, Prince Andrew, Princess Beatrice and more. (Prince William abruptly dropped out of attending at the last minute, which was a surprise as he was due to deliver a reading at the ceremony honoring his late godfather. It later emerged that he was absent in light of his wife Kate Middleton's cancer diagnosis, which she announced to the world that March.)

Princess Tatiana (who is keeping her royal title following the divorce) kicked off 2025 with a social media post about "looking towards the light" as the new year began.

"As the New Year begins, I wish for us all to welcome more light into our lives. To live purposefully, peacefully, and passionately — understanding that even in the darkest moments, we can be the light for others, just as others have been for us," Tatiana wrote on Instagram on Jan. 6.

"Last year was a year of transformation for me, filled with changes that challenged me to grow, to learn and to rebuild a life that truly reflects who I am. There were times I felt caught between identities, navigating a limbo of self-discovery. Yet, in those moments, I found clarity. By embracing my true self, I uncovered a new strength," she said.

The mental health advocate and Breathe Hellas founder voiced her gratitude to "the people who stood by me when the path felt uncertain" and said she looked forward to meaningful work in the year ahead.

Princess Tatiana previously described 2024 as a "difficult year" for her family as her stepbrother, Attilio Brillembourg, was reported missing Malibu, California in May.
