Vanessa is taking advantage of her winter vacation while enjoying a trip to Finland with the 33-year-old former professional soccer player.
She told her fans: “One moment between feeling happier than ever, but the moment I fly home for Christmas, a different reality appears.”
‘I think the tension between my upbringing, the loss of our families and the beautiful life I live now is not a burden, but in some ways it can be seen as a blessing. And I’m certainly grateful for my family and the 25 years I knew my dad.”
He continued: “Perspective has created the person I am now, to stay grounded, motivated, to know life in its different forms and to remain resilient.”
“Gratitude is an understatement and I will maintain the discipline to continue growing my luck .”
“Anything is possible and love and magic truly are everywhere (love heart emoji).”
In June this year, Vanessa split from her boyfriend Dan Underwood after just nine months together.
The skater had made her romance with the businessman official last year, but sources earlier this year claimed they were growing apart.
While Vanessa wanted to focus on her career, she and Dan remained friends, and the couple continued to follow each other on social media.

“They realized that they were better off as friends for now, but they still loved and respected each other a lot.”
‘Vanessa is busy with her career and is focusing on herself and her acting right now. While Dan is busy traveling the world for work, it has been difficult to maintain anything long-term.
