The TV presenter Dmitry Shepelev recently posted a video on his personal blog showing his adult son from the late singer Zhanna Friske. In the clip, 10-year-old Platon participates in a farm outing, feeding rabbits alongside his half-sister Lada. The moment captured is a rare window into a family story that has drawn public interest for years. The caption accompanying the post notes that the trip with the children was enjoyable and memorable.
Platon is widely known as the son of Dmitry Shepelev and Zhanna Friske. His birth occurred on April 7, 2013, in a private clinic in Miami, and since then the family narrative has often been at the center of media attention. In multiple interviews, Shepelev has discussed challenges related to access to the child. He has described resistance from Zhanna Friske’s family and sister, who reportedly restricted contact with him. Olga Orlova, who was a colleague of Friske in the group Brilliant and the godmother to Platon, is said to have limited communication with him as well, according to various reports.
Since 2018, Dmitry Shepelev has been in a relationship with designer Ekaterina Tulupova. The couple has expanded their family with a second child, a son named Tikhon, born on March 26, 2021. Tulupova has publicly spoken about her family dynamics, noting that Platon often refers to his mother by name rather than as a maternal figure, a point that has sparked discussion among followers. The household now includes a blend of different generations and family roles, reflecting a growing, evolving family story that continues to unfold in the public eye.
In another note about family connections, public interest has periodically shifted toward the broader social circle surrounding the stars involved. Formerly, public figures such as Ksenia Sobchak have referenced the lives of colleagues and their families, illustrating how these high-profile relationships intersect with private moments. The broader narrative remains a reminder of how fame, parenthood, and legacies intersect in contemporary media culture. Sources covering these developments emphasize the ongoing nature of family relationships and the impact of public life on private family matters. These accounts come from a range of media discussions and direct statements reported over time by entertainment outlets and familiar industry observers.
