The wedding cost was not less than 500,000 euros. On 12 April 2009, Ștefania (aged 27) died from kidney failure, aggravated by a kidney infection. Moreover, she had long suffered from hepatic cirrhosis. After his wife's death, Salam had no partner, until 2013, when he met Oana, a young woman from Ploiești. But their relationship did not last more than a few months. As of 2014, he was in a relationship with Roxana Dobre, who had previously posed for "Playboy" magazine. They intended to marry, and Roxana was pregnant with a girl. Early in his career, Salam was financially supported by brothers Sile and Nuțu Cămătaru, renowned moneylenders. After his wife's death, he succumbed to gambling, with accumulating debts, as a situation that pushed him to borrow money from moneylenders. In August 2013, Stoian was aggressed by three debt collectors in front of the Rin Grand Hotel in Bucharest, who were trying to recover by force money given to Florin with usury. Moreover, Salam was investigated by DIICOT for drug use.
