Igor Sivov, the former husband of pop star Nyusha, spoke about their divorce for the first time, reflecting with a mix of sorrow and respect for the path they chose. He said that he supported Nyusha’s decision to move on and did not stand in the way of her wish to part ways, even as he wrestled with the pain of separation. He also stressed that he never betrayed his wife and emphasized a long-standing commitment to loyalty that he believes defined their years together.
Nyusha publicly announced the split on May 7, 2024. She described their relationship as cordial and characterized by mutual understanding. Their six-year-old daughter Serafima-Simba and three-year-old son Saffron live with Sivov in Dubai, under his care with a nanny, while Nyusha frequently travels there from Moscow. Nyusha has spoken about living between two cities and indicated she will not relocate the children to Russia after the divorce.
In recent statements, Nyusha suggested that their dynamic involved a degree of dependence, noting that the arrangement required both partners to support each other. Sivov has also explained his perspective on loyalty and the decision to part ways, emphasizing that his actions stemmed from a desire to respect Nyusha’s happiness.
Details about the children’s living situation show that Dubai serves as the primary residence for Serafima-Simba and Saffron, with Nyusha maintaining strong ties and visiting while continuing to work between her projects in Moscow. The two still manage to coordinate parenting well enough to preserve a stable routine for their children, according to Nyusha’s team and public statements.
In the same wave of updates, Sivov offered a glimpse into his daily life, including his commitment to fitness. It was previously noted by Nyusha that he trains six days a week to maintain his health and energy levels, a routine that underscores a disciplined lifestyle outside his business ventures.
Overall, the split appears to be handled with mutual respect and a shared focus on what is best for their children. Both Nyusha and Sivov have emphasized open communication and steady cooperation, aiming to minimize disruption to Serafima-Simba and Saffron as they navigate a two-city family dynamic.
