Model Alesya Kafelnikova, dubbed the ‘Russian Kate Moss’, made the announcement on Instagram where she boasts over half a million followers. She is the daughter of former number one tennis player Yevgeny Kafelnikov and she reportedly battled drug addiction and anorexia for several years.

The 21-year-old has been working hard to get her life back on track after reportedly battling drug addiction and four failed suicide attempts.

She said: “I was taken off the antidepressants. I felt bad, I was crying, weeping. I talked to a psychologist and I started feeling even worse.”

The teenager also admitted that she struggled to control herself when feeling depressed and that she tried to cut her wrists just days before her last birthday.

Kafelnikova added: “After that, I went back on antidepressants, I am still taking them.”

She also revealed that she once tried to jump out an open window during an argument with her famous father.

However, Kafelnikova has suggested that she has finally turned a corner and will marry her boyfriend Kevin Dodelande in the summer.

She shared a photo of the engagement ring on social media with the message: “Can’t wait for the wedding. Save the date, 20th of June (sic).”

Very little is known about Dodelande as he uses private social media profiles and is not considered part of the Russian social scene.

However, Russian media claimed that he likes gambling and went out with the daughter of a Russian crime boss for 10 years.
