A 37-year-old Russian weight loss influencer, Marina Balmasheva, lives happily with her stepson Vladimir and their two children, to the dismay of her ex-husband.
Marina has two children with Vladimir Shavyrin, now 23, after first being married to his father, Alexey Shavyrin. The heartbroken 47-year-old father was left to care for the five children he and Marina originally adopted together.

Vladimir was raised by Marina since the age of seven, but now he is the subject of regular Instagram posts by his stepmother detailing their new life together. Over the years, the scorned Alexey has given several fiery interviews and aired the dirty laundry of the unconventional love triangle.
The couple lives in Krasnodar, near Ukraine. Marina is also transparent about how she supports the family with the money she earns from social media, instead of letting her husband work.
On her Instagram account, Marina describes Vladimir as having the “most charming blue eyes in the world“. However, she also plays the role of a mother, scolding him for being “clumsy” while pushing his daughter’s stroller.
