A popular social media influencer who ran away with her husband’s eldest son is now pregnant by him.
Marina Balmasheva posted a video to her 411,000 followers showing the moment she and 20-year-old student Vladimir ‘Vova’ Shavyrin found out they are expecting a baby.
The 35-year-old had been Vova's stepmother since he was seven.
Meanwhile, her five adopted children, she had been raising with ex-husband Alexey Shavyrin, her lover’s father, are now living with him.
Angry Alexey said: “She seduced my son, Vova is not capable of that.
“He had not had a girlfriend before her.
“They were not shy to have sex while I was at home.
“I would have forgiven her cheating, if it wasn't my son.”
He claimed: “She was running to my son's bed from our bedroom when I was sleeping.
“After that she was coming back and lying in bed with me as if nothing had happened
“When I found out about everything, I demanded a divorce.”
When they were together, the Russian weight-loss vlogger from Slavyansk-on-Kuban shed 60 kilograms.
The relationship between Marina and Voya bloomed after he returned home on a break from university when he was 19.
He helped his stepmother in the kitchen, looking after the adopted children, and doing shopping.
Revealing the relationship earlier this year, she posted a picture of herself aged 22 with Voya when he was aged just seven.
The 2007 photo produced a critical backlash online and she was accused of immorality.
One person said: “What shocks me most is that this boy grew up before her very eyes.”
She replied: “I know some will judge us, others will support us, but we are happy and wish you to be as well.”
Marina revealed her longed-for baby news on Instagram, saying she is four weeks pregnant.
“I know the term is short yet, and that the ultrasound with the heart is ahead.
“But I want you to know it. Everything is possible in this world.”
She said they would marry next month but “we won't have a lavish celebration”.
Vladimir’s mother - another ex-wife of Alexey’s - would help them care for the baby, she added.
“I'm done hiding,” she said.
