Matias Petäistö, a trainer known from the 'Special Forces' program, recently opened up about his difficult year, which included his divorce from Anette Petäistö on December 23. In an interview with Iltalehti, Matias reflected on the challenges he faced without initially focusing on the divorce itself, mentioning the overall troubled emotions he has experienced during the year. Despite the difficulties in his personal life, he revealed that they did not interfere with his filming commitments for the 'Special Forces' show.

During his time working with friends and colleagues in the program, such as Janne Lehtonen and Robin Hendry, Matias found solace and support. He emphasized the importance of being able to compartmentalize emotions, stating that he needs to momentarily forget personal issues to perform at his best professionally. This coping mechanism is crucial for him as he continues to navigate the complexities of life post-divorce while remaining committed to his career.

As Matias enters a new chapter focusing on dating again, he expresses uncertainty regarding his readiness for new relationships, leaving his future open-ended. His candid remarks resonate with many who may also struggle with moving forward after a significant life event. This reflection not only highlights his personal journey but also serves as an insight into the emotional challenges that can accompany public figures when dealing with private matters.
