Timati’s mother, Simona Yunusova, answered a follower on Instagram who asked about the fate of the well known rapper Valentin Ivanov, whose association with Meta in Russia has led to his designation as an extremist and a ban on his presence.
Yunusova explained that Ivanov did not vanish from the public eye. She added that she speaks with her son’s partner every day, signaling ongoing contact and family ties.
Gossip had circulated that Timur Yunusov, better known as Timati, and Valentina Ivanova had ended their relationship in December 2022. The rumors gained traction after the couple stopped sharing joint photos on social networks.
The two first appeared together in April 2022, and by December they marked their presence at a notable event: the tenth wedding anniversary of artist Dzhigan and model Oksana Samoilova.
Timati has never married, but he is a father to children with different partners. In 2014, he welcomed a daughter named Alice with model Alena Shishkova. In 2019, a son named Ratmir arrived from blogger Anastasia Reshetova. The musician maintains a relationship with his children and often vacations with them abroad.
In May 2023, Yunusova addressed candid photos of Ivanova circulating on social media. She stated she did not object to such pictures and reminded followers that Ivanova has worked professionally as a model.
