The Russian influencer who shacked up with her 20-year-old stepson after splitting with his dad has revealed that she is now pregnant with his baby.
Marina Balmasheva, 35, who hails from the western Russian region of Krasnodar Krai, lived with her husband Alexey, 45, for over 10 years before the relationship ended in divorce.
She adopted her ex-husband’s five children when they were together, but the youngest one, who has Down syndrome, continues to live with the father, according to reports.

The new man in her life is her ex-husband’s 20-year-old son Vladimir.
On 7th June, Marina posted a photo of her holding up a pregnancy test while cuddling with Vladimir.
She said: “I can reveal that I am four weeks pregnant and yes, that is why we decided to get married.”

In mid-May, the couple announced that they are planning their wedding although a date has not been set yet.
At the time, Marina said: “You never know how life will turn out and when you will meet a person who makes you smile. I know that some will judge us, others will support us, but we are happy and wish you to be as well.”
Netizen ‘Anastasiyakuninskikh’ said: “Best wishes from me.”
‘Pitinovakristina’ commented: “I read this and cried. That is wonderful news. Congratulations.”
