Daria Valitova, formerly described as the common-law partner of Cypriot footballer Aris Alexander Kokorin, shared a new image with her followers on Instagram Stories. In the photo she appears wearing a low cut top, and the casual pose sparked conversation among fans and observers who monitor her life alongside her former partner.
Kokorin and Valitova first met in 2013. At that time the striker played for Dynamo Moscow, and the couple began a relationship that attracted media attention. Valitova later had a tattoo on her right arm reading K9, a tribute to the player’s name and jersey number, a personal mark that drew notice from fans.
In 2017 the couple welcomed a son named Michael. The family created a separate social media account for their child, where posts and short clips offered glimpses into the baby’s early moments.
In 2018 Kokorin faced legal troubles and was imprisoned. He became a defendant in a criminal case involving two fights in central Moscow. In one incident at a city venue, Denis Pak, a deputy minister, was struck on the head with a chair, sustaining a traumatic brain injury. Kokorin received a sentence and was later released on parole in September 2019.
Valitova announced that she was leaving the footballer at the end of 2021, signaling a turning point in their high profile relationship and the public narrative that followed them.
Separately, reports noted that a former American racing driver posted bikini photos, a development that added another layer to the sports gossip surrounding their circle.
Online chatter about these posts and events continues, with fans and critics weighing in across social platforms and shaping the ongoing dialogue around public figures in sport.
