Carolina Sevastyanova, a Russian rhythmic gymnastics star and former partner of NHL forward Alexander Ovechkin, recently shared a backless moment in a white satin dress on her social channels.
Sevastyanova rose to prominence as the 2012 all-group Olympic champion in rhythmic gymnastics and captured the title at the 2010 Youth Olympic Games in Singapore. She retired from competitive sport at the age of 17, transitioning to life beyond the competitive arena with the grace that marked her career.
In 2014 news emerged that Sevastyanova was dating Ovechkin, a relationship that lasted about a year. Ovechkin later married Anastasia Shubskaya, with the couple tying the knot in 2016 and continuing to build a family life together.
In November 2022, Sevastyanova ended a five-year relationship and announced that a new engagement had occurred in 2023. She hinted at a wedding planned for 2024, reflecting a personal milestone outside the athletic world.
Previously, the Russian athlete had shared a pool photo that attracted attention from fans, illustrating her continued public presence beyond her athletic career. These updates show a life connected to sport, public attention, and personal milestones, while maintaining a private, evolving path forward.
