Nyusha Will Keep Her Children in Dubai Following Divorce
Nyusha will see her children remain in Dubai after her divorce from businessman Igor Sivov, according to a statement reported by Super.ru with attribution to the entrepreneur’s PR director, Maria Redekop.
As described by Sivov’s representative, the split was arranged without dispute. The former couple had already settled key matters, including the care and upbringing of their two children, Seraphim-Simba, who is five, and Saffron, who is two.
“The children are studying in Dubai, and Nyusha and Igor agreed that they would live there. There isn’t any arrangement for the children to stay with another caregiver”, Redekop stated, clarifying the living plans for the family.
The 2017 marriage between Nyusha and Igor Sivov produced a daughter, Seraphim-Simba, in 2018, and a son, Saffron, in December 2021. In 2022, Nyusha disclosed to Svetlana Bondarchuk that her husband had betrayed her during her pregnancy with their second child. Despite the confession, Nyusha chose to forgive Sivov. In early 2023, rumors circulated about a possible separation.
Public indications of a separation emerged in spring 2024, with Nyusha herself acknowledging that she had left the children in their father’s care to focus on her career.
There were reports that Sivov had prevented Nyusha from boarding a flight to Spain, a claim that circulated amid the broader discussion of their divorce proceedings and custody arrangements. The parties have maintained silence on numerous aspects, while media outlets have continued to reference statements from representatives and public appearances by Nyusha and Sivov.
In the context of international custody questions, the situation highlights how high-profile couples navigate coexistence and professional commitments across borders. The discussion underscores the challenges that can accompany parenting across jurisdictions, particularly when both partners pursue demanding careers and international opportunities. Journalistic coverage notes the importance of trust, ongoing communication, and formal agreements to ensure stability for children as family circumstances evolve. This case illustrates that even when parents separate, parental involvement and consistent routines in a familiar environment can remain central to a child’s sense of security, especially when a chosen locale like Dubai is firmly established for the family unit. The emphasis on Dubai as the primary residence for the children reflects a broader trend where families weigh location, schooling, and support networks when making post-separation plans. The interpretation of such arrangements often depends on official filings and documented agreements between the spouses and their legal representatives.
