The singer and soloist from the Tutsi ensemble Irina Ortman opened up about a chapter from her personal life in a conversation on the PROLife YouTube channel, describing a divorce from Vladimir Perevozchikov that happened nine years ago.
Ortman recalled falling in love with Roman and choosing to leave her husband. She described a time when a trusted partner spoke plainly about the future, and that shift dramatically altered the course of her life. The move carried risk because Roman and Ortman had not known each other well beforehand, yet the decision was made with a sense of inevitability that many people recognize in closely watched relationships. While the circumstances were charged, Ortman stressed that the decision was not taken lightly and that the moment carried significant emotional weight.
According to Ortman, the former spouses managed to navigate their separation without courts or formal disputes, achieving a calm parting that left room for a neutral dynamic after the breakup. She noted that after she and her first husband separated, her relationship with her second partner, Roman Babkin, developed without public turmoil. The singer emphasized that there were no lasting scandals within their family, and any conflicts between partners tended to be resolved quickly rather than extended into drawn-out disputes.
Ortman offered a personal reflection on the dynamics of trust and care in relationships, suggesting that the core influence often lies with the partner who holds emotional power. She inferred that when a man feels content, he is less likely to leave; conversely, if trust erodes or affection becomes uncertain, the relationship can unravel. She hinted that her own experience may have included overdependence or misplaced trust at different moments, which influenced the path of her marriage and subsequent life choices.
In a separate recollection, Ortman also recalled that she had been dismissed from the group after an accident, a moment she described as occurring without extensive explanation. This part of her career underscores the unpredictability that can accompany life in the public eye, where personal changes often intersect with professional developments. The broader lesson, she seemed to convey, is that public figures are not immune to the same emotional currents that affect everyone else, and they must navigate them with resilience and candor.
