20-year-old "Miss Russia — 2024" Valentina Alekseeva has finally revealed her beloved. The model, who was previously suspected of having an affair with Philipp Kirkorov, posted a joint photo on social media. Although the man's face was hidden by an emoji heart, his identity was quickly established: Alekseeva's chosen one turned out to be 50-year-old Chelyabinsk businessman Ilya Mitelman.

Ilya Mitelman is a well-known figure. He was born into the family of entrepreneur Semyon Mitin. At 24, he already headed the "Khlebprom" association, and by 30, he became a deputy of the Chelyabinsk city duma. Currently, Mitelman holds the position of CEO for strategy and development at LLC "Confectionery Factory 'Fantel'".

In 2023, the businessman divorced Melanie Korman after ten years of marriage; they have two children together. Before marriage, Ilya Mitelman was a frequent guest of the social chronicle: he was credited with a long relationship with "Univer" star Valentina Rubtsova, with whom he allegedly even planned a wedding, as well as a four-year romance with Olga Buzova. In addition, according to rumors, he courted Irina Shayk, who, by the way, is called a close friend of Mitelman's ex-wife.

Earlier, Alekseeva had already spoken about her chosen one without naming him. The girl admitted that she was captivated by "beautiful courtship and real actions." At the same time, the model categorically denied rumors that her success was linked to the support of a wealthy patron. She always emphasized that she achieved everything herself. "Nothing is given immediately, everything comes gradually. Through hard work, patience, and character, I can justify every one of my titles, every grade in my record book. If someday my achievements are attributed to a rich man, I will simply laugh in response," Valentina stated.

Recall that Valentina Alekseeva became "Miss Russia" at 18, took 12th place at the "Miss Universe" competition, and in the spring of 2026 will participate in the first-ever international beauty pageant "Miss BRICS". Currently, the model is studying at Pirogov University, plans to become an oncologist, develops her own charitable foundation "Bird of Happiness," and recently released her first song.
