Personal Life
Stanishev lived from 1994-2009 with prominent journalist Elena Yoncheva. In 2002 he amazed party members when he came to a gathering at Buzludzha on a motorcycle with a rock-style jacket that had a label on the back saying: "If you are reading this, Elena must have fallen off on the way." The pair did not have any children.
In 2011, PR agent Monika Yanova announced that she was having a baby by Stanishev. Their daughter Daria was born on May 1, 2011. Yanova is a divorcee who has two other children by her ex-husband Ventsislav Yosifov.

Famous quotes related to personal life:
“The dialectic between change and continuity is a painful but deeply instructive one, in personal life as in the life of a people. To ‘see the light’ too often has meant rejecting the treasures found in darkness.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
