I’m not a big fan of weddings as a whole, let alone as an occasion. Tursunov isn’t the culprit (laughing).

He is not a Belarussian. She is currently enjoying her life with her boyfriend, who has now become her fiancée. The couple intends to marry in the near future. She smashed her relationship rumors with Dmitry Tursunov, the coach, back then. She did, however, say that she trusts Dmitry more than anyone else. Her sexual orientation is that of a straight woman.
