Model Lena Perminova, wife of billionaire Alexander Lebedev, posted new vacation photos that captured a sun-soaked escape and seaside moments. Lebedev himself shared the images on Instagram, a platform whose ownership by Meta has been a point of controversy and is banned in Russia for various reasons.
In the shots, the 37-year-old model enjoys a dip in the open ocean alongside turtles, pairing the moment with a vibrant, diminutive bikini that drew attention to the sunshine and sea breeze. Additional frames show the couple’s children reveling on a luxury yacht and then joining their mother for a splash in the water, creating a family tableau against a backdrop of clear blue water and warm summer light.
Her latest post also sparked discussion about the model’s appearance, as a few subscribers questioned the authenticity of the photos, hinting at possible retouching. Perminova addressed the chatter directly, confirming that she did not rely on edits and inviting fans to view the natural aspects of her body in those images, including stretch marks and cellulite that naturally appear with time and after pregnancies.
Perminova looks after four children from Lebedev: Nikita, aged 14; Egor, aged 11; Arina, aged 9; and Alexander, aged 2. Lebedev proposed to his partner in 2020, and while the couple has not wed, their relationship has weathered its share of public moments. The model has admitted there were crises in their bond, with separations occurring on more than one occasion. After a recent public dispute, Lebedev reportedly reconciled with Perminova when she shared the news of their fourth pregnancy, underscoring the resilience that often characterizes long-standing partnerships in the glare of celebrity life.
Earlier, Perminova had also shared moments that showed her face without makeup, underscoring a preference for authenticity in a world often dominated by carefully curated images. These posts contribute to a broader narrative about celebrity wellness, body image, and the ways public figures respond to scrutiny in real time, both online and in their private lives, painting a more nuanced portrait of life beyond the spotlight.
