Wow, so, she's part Greek Orthodox/Muslim, and she married a man who converted from (I could be wrong, but I believe) Judaism to Greek Orthodox. That's a very interesting religious history of her family. In the end though, if she and Tom are happy together, and can stay together in a world where divorce is ridiculously high (especially amongst actors), well, more power to them!

which is a turkish name with a typical Bulgarian suffix. Every Bg male last name ends with an "ov", which most people change to off when living in the States , France or England.
I am Turkish but you are wrong. Is more complicated that that. It is a biblical name (ABraham) that is pronounced by BOTH Christians and Muslims from that part of the world as Ibrahim.
And the "ov" is just patronymicized, which was done by the authorities. Bulgarian side of the border, Ibrahimov, Greek side of the border, Ibrahimou, Turkish side of the border, Ibrahimouglu
The person who said that Rodopi's in Greece: there is a small part of it in Greece, but, dude, you sereously need a couple geography lessons
The larger part of Rodopi's home with us lol
"Dude" the Rhodopi mountains straddle Greece, Turkey and Bulgarina parts of Thrace. The word is a Greek word -

Maybe somehow late to reply, but she is half Greek. The other half is Pomak. Pomaks are slavic Muslims. mainly living in Bulgaria and Greece, who converted to Islam 600 years ago. So, if she is Orthodox Cristian, I guess she has gone back to her roots

JESUS CHRIST (basically), who cares? You're all wrong anyway, the very concept of petty religions is an insult to the universe we live in;

JESUS CHRIST IS A PERSON AND SHOULDNT BE USED AS A CUSS WORD. But your right, its not about reigions, but about a personal relationship with God The Father, God the son ( Jesus Christ) and God the Holy Spirit

Well i dont know if she is religious or not or whatever but yea she has muslim roots if thats what you mean, her father is a Slavic Muslim (Bulgarian more specificially), probably secular I am a slavic muslim myself (ex Yugoslavian), we are Slavic/South/Eastern Europeans who were back then either secular or christians that converted to Islam like 600 years ago

In that area, Thrace, her father ancestors could have been all Greeks, all Bulgarians, or all Turks, or any combination.
Christian Greeks who converted to Islam in areas later take over by Bulgaria are also call Pomaks, so are may purely Turkish people in Bulgaria.
She probably knows her own family history and this probably is the source of why she identifies as Greek.
