Elvira Tugusheva, who performs under the stage name Elvira T, posted on Instagram that she is ending her marriage to musician Alexander Grechanik. The message from the singer did not disclose private details, but it confirmed that a long relationship has come to a close. The news has drawn attention from fans across Canada and the United States, where her music has seen steady airplay and live performances in recent years.
According to Elvira T, the split arose from what she describes as Grechanik’s long-standing immaturity rather than a sudden quarrel. She recalls that about a year and a half earlier he had tearfully asked for marriage, convincing her that they were building a solid life together. Yet, she says, the person she hoped would mature by sharing a future with her did not meet those expectations, and the relationship began to lose its balance.
She described the situation in blunt terms: she believed she was marrying a man, but it gradually felt as if she had essentially adopted a childish teenage boy rather than a partner equal in responsibility. The realization was painful, yet she says it arrived early enough to spare both of them from a more deeply painful breakup.
Despite the disappointment, Elvira T says she is grateful for recognizing the truth early. The experience did not crush her belief in love; if anything, it reinforced a calm resolve to remain open to meaningful connections in the future. In a public life that invites scrutiny, she emphasizes personal growth and resilience as guiding principles for both her art and her personal choices.
Tugusheva began her musical journey at 15 with the debut track Everything is decided, which quickly gained traction on radio playlists and music television channels. Today she is in her late twenties and continues to release new songs, perform across the country, and grow her fan base. Her work has resonated with audiences in Canada and the United States, where many listeners have connected with her bold, melodic style. Earlier reports in Borodin mentioned her 15-year-old daughter.
