A weight-loss influencer who traded in her husband for her stepson has announced the birth of their first child together.
Marina Balmasheva, 35, from Russia, married her new husband Vladimir ‘Vova’ Shavyrin, now 21, ahead of welcoming their baby girl, who has not yet been named.
The Russian blogger – with more than half a million followers on Instagram – has known Vladimir since he was seven after previously being married to his father Alexey Shavyrin, 45, who now cares for their five adopted children.
She divorced Alexey after 10 years together and he has previously accused her of seducing his son when he came home on holiday from university.
Marina and Vladimir’s little girl was born yesterday in the maternity hospital in Krasnodar, weighing slightly over 8lbs.
Her new husband Vladimir was not present at the birth. It is unclear if this is due to COVID-19 restrictions or personal choice.
Marina posted pictures of her daughter to her many fans but said her partner had instructed her not to show the girl’s face.
‘Dad does not want to show our daughter yet,’ she said. ‘That’s why the view is only from the back… We are thinking about the name.’
Marina said she was a ‘complete mess’ after the birth yesterday which followed her waters breaking as she watched Game of Thrones.
‘Everything is very good with us,’ she said. ‘[The baby] did not sleep too well at night, but [she] has been sleeping since 6 am.’
Earlier, she told her followers details of her pregnancy and revealed how she went through a succession of plastic surgery treatments to make herself attractive to her new spouse who she calls ‘the most charming blue-eyes in the world’.
She said: ‘So many people tell me to use makeup because of my young husband. But there is one thing – he fell in love with me with all my scars from plastic surgeries, cellulite, excessive skin and personality. And I do not want to seem better than what I am.’
She also told how she insisted on a prenup so that she keeps all her money and assets in case of divorce from her new husband.
Marina’s ex complained that ‘she seduced my son…He had not had a girlfriend before her. They were not shy to have sex while I was at home.
‘I would have forgiven her cheating if it wasn’t my son. She was running to my son’s bed from our bedroom when I was sleeping. After that, she was coming back and lying in bed with me as if nothing had happened.’
She now says he previous marriage was ‘not living but pretending’. She told her followers: ‘Did I have regrets that I destroyed the family? Both yes and no.
‘I was ashamed that I killed the stability of “mum and dad”. Did I want to return to my ex? No. Do I feel anger and hatred towards him? Not any longer.
‘He is a good person and a wonderful father to our children…. How did children make changes? Absolutely calmly.
‘What [do I have] today? I am married. I moved to a bigger city. I love and I am loved.’
She previously said that Vladimir’s mother – another ex-wife of Alexey’s – would help them care for the baby.
