Ksenia Borodina has once again fueled the fire of scandals. This time, her ex-husband, Kurban Omarov, accuses the TV presenter of treachery: she baptized their common daughter Teona in secret from him.

The ceremony, which took place on , was held among close friends and family. Among the guests were Olga Orlova, as well as Borodina's current husband, Nikolay Serdyukov. Ksenia's eldest daughter, Marusya, became Teona's godmother. However, the girl's legal father, Kurban Omarov, learned about his own daughter's baptism from the press.

The businessman did not hide his indignation. "What happened today was done in secret from me, without my knowledge and consent. Ksenia and I had a strict agreement: we do not impose religion on Teona until she grows up and decides for herself. With her heart and mind. I have observed this agreement all these years. It turns out, unilaterally," Omarov stated. He emphasized that, being a Muslim, he respects other people's faith, but believes that the choice of a spiritual path should be conscious, and not "a ceremony behind the father's back and a breach of a given word."

Borodina herself claims that 10-year-old Teona expressed a desire to be baptized. "Her desire to go through this ceremony appeared a long time ago, and at 10 years old she decided herself: this is her path. I supported her choice, because I believe that the most important thing is to give a child the right to choose and feel support," the TV star wrote in her blog.

However, Kurban Omarov categorically disagrees that a ten-year-old child is capable of making such serious decisions. "At 10 years old, a child might want to get a tattoo or drop out of school — children at this age are exploring the world and are easily influenced by others. That is why the law and common sense do not empower children to make fateful decisions," the businessman retorted, accusing his ex-wife of shifting responsibility onto the child.

Omarov also noted that his claims have nothing to do with religion as such. He grew up in a family where Muslim and Christian traditions coexisted peacefully, and always treated any faith with respect. "The issue here is not about religion at all. It's about something else. And about that, I have already said everything I wanted," he concluded.
