Michał Wiśniewski and Mandaryna reunite; church says their marriage remains valid

Polish pop stars Michał Wiśniewski and Marta Wiśniewska (‘Mandaryna’) have confirmed that they are together again after more than two decades. Both have said the renewed relationship is based on friendship and mutual understanding, and they have ruled out any immediate plans for a new wedding or co‑habitation; each continues to live in a separate home.

The news sparked renewed discussion of their 2003 sacramental wedding. Bishop Antoni Długosz clarified that a civil divorce does not dissolve a marriage in the eyes of the Catholic Church, and because no canonical annulment has been received, the couple remains married according to canon law. Media coverage has focused on fans’ reactions, the couple’s statements that the reunion is genuine and not a promotional stunt, and the bishop’s explanation of the Church’s position.
