Polina Nagradova, as a 17-year-old girl, met Dmitry Dibrov at a beauty pageant. However, she did not immediately become the TV host's wife – he managed to marry another woman. Their reunion caused heated discussions, but the real scandal erupted with the couple's divorce in 2025.

In 2008, Polina introduced the host of "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?" to her parents. But in the spring of the same year, Dmitry unexpectedly married 23-year-old Alexandra Shevchenko. Model mentor Elena Stepura later expressed the opinion that Dibrov needed to marry Sasha to finally understand that Polina was his destiny. There were also rumors that the marriage to Alexandra was an attempt to provoke Nagradova's jealousy, who herself was torn between Dmitry, 30 years her senior, and a young admirer. The marriage to Shevchenko lasted only 10 months, and a few weeks later, Polina Nagradova and Dmitry Dibrov had a lavish wedding.

"Dima and I have a long history. We broke up. He then got married, then we got back together... At the moment when we got back together, no one knew about it. Well, except for two of my friends. I remember we met Dima then and decided that he would divorce, and we would get married," Polina said in an interview with the YouTube channel "Era Venery." How did it happen that the union broke up after 16 years, and with such a loud scandal? On July 16, Polina Dibrova celebrates her 37th birthday, and we tell the price she paid for new love.

"I became like a daughter to him, and he became a father to me in a certain sense. Precisely because he showed me this life from a side I had never seen," Dibrova said on the "Face to Face" show on YouTube. At first, Polina had to put up with comments from detractors, as her union with Dibrov was considered a misalliance. "A big age difference: 'Why did you pay attention to him?', 'You won't last a year, two,' and also: 'He will leave you'," the model listed the haters' claims. Polina did everything to prove the skeptics wrong. One after another, the couple's sons Alexander, Fyodor, and Ilya were born, and the woman began to share her parenting experience in the reality show "Pregnant" and on her microblog. She frankly spoke about breast plastic surgery, which lost its shape after three births, and was not shy about showing off expensive outfits and trips with which her husband spoiled her.

"I don't spend money left and right, but I love to surround myself with beauty. I am not the kind of person who will keep a beautiful dinner set 'for a holiday.' I will use it daily," the brunette said about the rule she adopted from her husband. Polina called 2016 a fateful and at the same time a "springboard" year: then the marriage was going through a certain crisis, and the mother of many children thought about the need to create her own business. Thus, Dibrova's women's club appeared. "I created it to support the family, among other things, because I understood that we have three sons. I also had to create a certain safety cushion for myself for the future. I didn't know how the situation would develop, no one is immune to anything. Dmitry could have left, and I would have been left with the children," the model reflected in the "Razberi menya" podcast.

Upon learning of the impending divorce, the couple's eldest son noted that he needed time to comprehend, and the youngest cried. For 15 years, Polina argued that marriage is based on honesty and the ability to reveal feelings to a partner, so crises are not terrible for it. It seemed that after Dmitry's stroke in 2020, the spouses' relationship became even stronger, as Dibrov began to take better care of his health and share his wife's love for a healthy lifestyle. Fans began to worry about the couple in the spring of 2025, when Polina published a strange post about the shock she experienced before flying to India. "Few people know about this, to be honest," Dibrova intrigued her subscribers. "But now I can calmly talk about it, because it's already over, and India helped me a lot. So, I thought I would rest from pressing matters, but for the first five days, I was specifically battered. I was just trying to come to my senses. I only started resting yesterday. We are leaving very soon. That's how life turns out. It constantly presents some surprises."

Last summer, fans worried that there was a discord in the family, as photos with her husband disappeared from Polina's microblog. As it turned out, the fans were not far from the truth: in July 2025, Dibrova left Dmitry for 50-year-old Roman Tovstik. The piquant nuance was that the businessman had long been the TV presenter's neighbor – their houses on Rublyovka were 500 meters apart.

"Roman and I agreed that all family matters needed to be resolved. And if we go through everything with honor and dignity, then we will build our lives," Polina frankly spoke about Tovstik's divorce from Elena. Of course, the families communicated, and Polina was the godmother of one of Roman and Elena Tovstik's six children in 2014. Last July, the businessman announced his separation from his wife after 19 years of marriage, and in August 2025, the model also announced her breakup with Dibrov. She emphasized that she did not want to deceive her husband, so she honestly admitted that she had fallen in love with another. "I prepared for this, including consulting with my confessor. I also have a psychologist. I just didn't understand what to do, how to tell a person about it. Dima thought I had gone crazy, he didn't believe me. Then there were several months of dialogues. <… I thought about everyone, I thought about how to make it easier for Dima, for my parents, because for them it's a big blow. But I realized that I was living a lie, betraying myself, I began to have internal destruction," Dibrova shared in an interview with Laura Dzhugelia.

Elena did not hide that her heart was broken, expressed her intention to fight for the family, and appeared on TV shows and interviews, openly condemning her rival and even hinting that she had bewitched Roman. Polina, in response, explained that she had never been a gold digger and left Dibrov empty-handed, without dividing property. The model also clarified that she was friends with Lena Tovstik from 2012 to 2017: their communication ended when the businesswoman did not make her friend the godmother of Ilya and refused to celebrate the birthdays of their older children together.

While Elena was indignant that her ex-husband began to reduce expenses for children threefold and forced them to sell their house to cover expenses, Polina demonstrated family idyll. "It's hard to lure a man away. You can be a mistress as much as you want, but it's hard to lure a man away... For him to abandon six children, go nowhere, rented houses, what must be done! For him, it's a terrible nightmare. You had to drive a man to such a state. I can't imagine a woman who would lure my husband away. I was honest with him," Polina assured. However, questions continued to pour in, because the relationship between the Dibrovs-Tovstik...
