She’s a woman who doesn’t chase flashy titles — she chooses harmony. In this candid conversation, the artist opens up about motherhood as a source of strength, the stage as her calling, and a kind of happiness that isn’t born from public praise but from inner peace. She speaks honestly about stereotypes, self-love, and the courage to stay true to herself — offering a heartfelt interview from a woman who understands what genuine value really means.
You recently became a mother for the third time. How has this new chapter reshaped the woman within you — what has softened, and what has grown stronger?
I had dreamed of having a son for a long time. I already have two daughters, so welcoming a little boy — our baby Akim — was an especially touching and meaningful moment for me. It’s a completely different kind of emotion, a new spectrum of feelings. They say boys tend to cling more to their mothers while girls gravitate toward their fathers — but we’ll see how that plays out with time, since he’s still so tiny.
Right now, I’m experiencing an incredible palette of emotions: happiness, tenderness, and a boundless kind of love. I want to give him everything, to raise him strong, healthy, and filled with inner depth.
At the moment, I’m breastfeeding, but in a combined format — I alternate between nursing and formula. My schedule is intense: work, rehearsals, training — all of it takes a great deal of time. So this approach wasn’t entirely a choice, but rather a necessary and conscious decision. What matters most is that we’re
They say every pregnancy and every child reveals a woman in a new way. How was your third experience different from the first two — emotionally, spiritually, and physically?
This pregnancy was, without a doubt, the most challenging one I’ve ever had. I went through severe morning sickness — far more intense than before. Some people believe it can be tougher when you’re expecting a boy, and perhaps there’s some truth to that. Of course, every pregnancy is unique, but for me, this one was genuinely difficult.
Akim arrived at 35 weeks — a little earlier than expected, about two weeks before my projected due date. He was born quite small, just 2,820 grams, but he began gaining weight quickly, and today, thank God, he’s doing really well.
Maybe that’s why I treat him with an extra layer of tenderness and awe. In the beginning, I was extremely anxious, because the delivery itself was complicated. I needed significant medical intervention, including a blood transfusion. Fortunately, I delivered at the Kyiv Perinatal Center, where I received immediate, professional care. After the procedure, they administered plasma, which helped my recovery go remarkably fast.
Within just two weeks, I was able to return to work and even attend my first corporate event. Despite all the challenges, this experience became a powerful reminder of the resilience of motherhood — and of the value found in every moment we’re given.
Your life today is a blend of the stage, fitness, filming, and family. How do you manage to balance being a caring mother with the demands of a vibrant public career?
My older daughter, Arian, who’s now 10, helps me tremendously. She adores her baby brother and is genuinely excited to be part of his care — she wants to change his diapers, feed him from a bottle. She truly enjoys it, and I see it as something incredibly valuable.
When older children are involved in caring for younger siblings, they begin to understand responsibility, compassion, and what it means to truly show up for someone. For a young girl, especially, this experience helps shape sensitivity, empathy, and an awareness of family roles.
My husband also helps whenever he can, and of course, we have a wonderful nanny who supports me when work pulls me away. But every free moment I have, I try to devote to Akim and to all my children.
We love spending our weekends together — going to playrooms, playgrounds, visiting friends, or creating our own little family adventures. It’s important to me that my children experience a happy childhood, and that our home is filled with warmth, support, and genuine family spirit.
In one of your interviews, you mentioned that motherhood has become your greatest source of inspiration. Does it influence your music and your stage persona today?
When I gave birth to my second daughter, Evlaliya, I had a very special desire: to create a song that mothers could use to ceremonially welcome their newborn babies into the world. While organizing our first big family celebration, I kept imagining what kind of composition could capture the depth of emotion, joy, and magic that motherhood brings.
That’s how the song “Smileyk – Kokhaylyk” was born — a joyful track dedicated to all children and to Ukrainian families who are expecting a baby, planning for one, or already raising little ones. For me, this song became a true symbol of my motherhood, my love, and my inner world. And in the music video, my daughter Evlaliya appears as well — she was only four months old at the time.
After my third pregnancy, I felt something shift within me. I became even more sensitive, gentle, and deeply aware. Motherhood opens new depths inside a woman — more softness, more warmth, more inner wisdom. And I welcome these changes with gratitude because they make me more myself.
I’ve become more tender, more attuned, more delicate. Every experience of motherhood reveals a woman in a different way, unlocking new layers and new dimensions. At the same time, creatively, I felt an even stronger inner drive — a desire to work more actively, knowing how much I am responsible for my children’s future.
Akim, without exaggeration, gave me even more strength and confidence. I feel stronger as a woman, as a person, and as an artist. I have an even greater desire to grow, create, move forward, and reach new artistic heights.
Motherhood doesn’t limit you — it does the opposite. It inspires you. It motivates you. It makes a woman deeper, wiser, and at the same time stronger in her ambitions.
Your new release sounds like an intimate conversation with yourself. Would you say this song reflects an inner transformation or a new chapter in your life?
This song has nothing to do with my current personal life — I’m a happily married woman, and my relationship with my husband is warm, loving, and harmonious. Instead, the track serves as a kind of guidance, a source of encouragement for women who are going through the difficult reality of a breakup.
As a woman with life experience — someone who has been in relationships that brought not only joy, but also disappointment and pain — I wanted to support those who are in a similar place right now. Through this song, I urge women to be braver, more confident, to never tolerate disrespect, and above all, to love themselves first. It’s a motivational anthem dedicated to all women, with a wish for healthy, honest, non-abusive relationships built on mutual respect and openness.
I firmly believe that if love isn’t reciprocal — if one person is giving everything and receiving nothing in return — those relationships should end. It’s a courageous step, but a necessary one, and an act of protecting your own dignity.
This track was also a creative experiment for me, because I had never sung in this style before. It’s my first collaboration with a young songwriter, Vlad Viva, who has recently made a strong name for himself in the entertainment industry. Most notably, he created a large-scale Christmas musical for the TV channel “1+1,” which received high praise from viewers.
“Spi sobi sama” is our first project together. Before starting, we spent a lot of time talking, brainstorming, and searching for a theme that would feel true to me and relevant to listeners. I consider this experience incredibly successful and inspiring — and I’m certain it will resonate with many women.
You’re a singer, an actress, and a woman who’s committed to fitness and taking care of her body. What matters more to you today — the stage, physical form, or the state of your soul?
All of it matters to me — the stage, my inner world, and sports. I believe in harmony, in a sense of wholeness, when a person knows how to integrate different parts of their life without obsessing over just one.
The stage is my true home, my calling, the place where I genuinely come alive. It’s the space where I can be myself, feel the audience’s energy, and channel my emotions through music. Fitness, on the other hand, helps me stay strong, productive, and resilient — it allows me to keep up with the pace of performances, rehearsals, and a demanding schedule.
And spirituality is what builds our inner core, our awareness, our worldview. I’m convinced that every person needs it, because it’s what helps us find balance, peace, and a steady anchor within ourselves.
All these dimensions are equally important, and the real art of life is learning how to bring them into harmony.
What moment in your career do you consider a turning point — the one after which you felt you had reached a new stage of growth?
I’m always in a state of growth, so it’s hard to single out just one defining moment. My goals are big, and I’m very aware that much of what I’m striving for is still ahead of me. This path demands constant work, discipline, and total dedication.
That said, if I were to point to a moment that truly pushed me forward professionally, it would be the release of my music video on television eight years ago. That was when I felt a real shift — a kind of starting line in my career, a moment that gave me confidence and the momentum to keep going.
I’m continually evolving, exploring new musical styles, experimenting with different directions, and working on myself and my sound. Regular rehearsals with my musicians and dancers, refining my image, building my stage presence — all of that is part of my everyday creative process.
I never stop, because for me, growth isn’t a phase — it’s a way of life.
What is your personal formula for success — not in terms of numbers or airtime, but in the sense of inner fulfillment?
For me, success is the ability to feel like a happy human being, to live in harmony with myself, and to be grateful to God for everything I have. I truly believe that real success begins with your inner state. A person is genuinely successful only when they’re happy — and happiness comes from the ability to appreciate what you already have.
Today I see many people who have health, a job, children, stability — yet they still feel it’s not enough. There are incredibly wealthy individuals who own vast fortunes, planes, estates, yet they don’t feel satisfied or complete on the inside. I’ve learned to value what I have, and for me, that is the real formula for success and harmonious happiness.
Even the simple gift of being healthy is already a blessing. Money can’t buy health, can’t give you your own children, can’t replace true friends, love, or genuine human connection. Those are things no amount of wealth can ever purchase.
So if you have a roof over your head, loved ones beside you, health, and the warmth of the people close to you — you’re already on the right path. The real art is learning to cherish it, take joy in it, and offer sincere gratitude for every single day.
Your journey is an example of how a woman can balance motherhood, creativity, and self-realization. What stereotypes do you find yourself confronting most often?
Stereotypes definitely exist. One of the most common is the assumption that because I’m blonde, I must be shallow or simplistic. In reality, I’m not even a natural blonde — it’s part of my stage persona, my artistic image. But some people prefer easy labels instead of looking deeper.
These perceptions usually last only until someone watches one of my interviews, listens to my more profound songs, or engages with my work on a closer level. That’s when understanding begins — when people start to analyze, rethink, and see me differently.
Yes, I have a light, playful track called “Zyum-Zyum” — a fun, childlike song created for TikTok and children’s parties. And sometimes, people judge me solely by that one piece, assuming that if I can sing something so whimsical, I must not be very bright. But that’s just one creative format — it doesn’t define who I am or reflect my artistic depth.
My audience knows me for completely different compositions: emotional, meaningful, powerful songs like “What a Woman Wants,” “Dad,” “You Are Unbreakable,” and many others. These are songs about life, strength, love, and real human emotions.
I want people to stop thinking in stereotypes and stop putting labels on others. Intelligent people don’t do that. They listen, they analyze, they watch interviews, they form their own opinions. And I’m certain that anyone who truly wants to understand will always find a way.
Stereotypes exist only where there is no desire to look deeper.
New Year’s is always a moment of pause and renewal. What does an ideal holiday look like for you and your family — more time on stage or more time in silence?
Every New Year’s Eve, I’m working — for artists, it’s one of the busiest and most demanding periods of the year. The holiday season is a time when we can not only give people joy, but also put in meaningful work before allowing ourselves a well-earned rest. So I always try to make the most of this period for performances.
It’s simply the nature of our profession — a choice we make consciously. For most people, the holidays are a time for relaxation, family warmth, and rest. For an artist, it’s work, the stage, and the responsibility we carry toward our audience.
This New Year’s, I’m performing in Truskavets before heading to Odesa. There are many more scheduled events, concerts, and creative gatherings ahead. I’m genuinely happy to bring people a festive mood — because that is my mission as an artist.
How do you raise your children — does your artistic temperament allow you to be a strict mother, or are you more about freedom and trust?
I try to keep a balanced approach to parenting. I give my children freedom, but I always stay close — guiding them, supporting them, and protecting them so they feel grounded and confident.
It’s incredibly important for me to notice and nurture my daughters’ talents. Evlaliya is only two, so it’s too early to talk about her interests — she’s just beginning to explore the world. But Arian is already making thoughtful choices about what she enjoys. For example, she decided completely on her own that she wanted to study Chinese — it was her personal wish, without any pressure from me.
We’ve tried many activities: guitar lessons, rhythmic gymnastics, ballroom dancing — she’s had the chance to feel herself in different roles. Right now, we’re focusing on Chinese and English, and Arian absolutely loves swimming — she’s learning different techniques with great enthusiasm.
Even though I’m an artist, she’s not drawn to the stage at all. When she was little, she performed with me — we even have a few songs together — but now she consciously chooses privacy and has no desire for public attention, and I fully respect that.
I always tell mothers: support the talents and qualities that shine brightest in your child — and, most importantly, honor their own desires. Because the best development is the one that comes from within.
If you could speak to women who are afraid to begin their journey because of family, age, or fear of judgment — what would you tell them today, as a woman who has walked her own path?
I would say the most important thing: don’t be afraid to be yourself, and don’t be afraid of not pleasing everyone. What matters most is your inner peace and your personal happiness. Don’t look back at what others might say. Learn to listen to yourself — to your true desires and your real needs.
If you have the support of loved ones who care for you and respect you, that is the greatest gift. Fill yourself with that love, with that energy — because that’s what gives you strength and grounding. All the external noise, in reality, means very little.
Do what your soul is reaching for, as long as it is moral, ethical, sincere, and aligned with human values. Love yourself, respect the people around you, and always respond to kindness with kindness. And above all — do more good in the world.
Even if you feel that someone carries negativity, try to heal the world with your pure energy, your light, and your kindness. We are here to bring something positive into this life — to heal, to support, to inspire.
Believe in God, trust Him — and let Him guide you on the right path.
