Polina Nagradova, a 17-year-old girl, met Dmitry Dibrov at a beauty pageant. However, she did not immediately become the host's wife – he managed to marry someone else. Their reunion caused heated discussions, but a 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 with Alexandra was an attempt to provoke jealousy in Nagradova, who herself was wavering between Dmitry, 30 years her senior, and a young admirer. The marriage with 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 got married, then we got back together... At the moment we got back together, nobody knew about it. Well, except for my two friends. I remember, we met with Dima then and decided that he would get a divorce, and we would get married," Polina told in an interview on the YouTube channel "Era of Venus". 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 you at what cost she gained new love.

"I became like a daughter to him, and he, in a sense, became like a father to me. Precisely because he showed me this life from a side I had never seen before," said Dibrova on the show "Face to Face" on YouTube. At first, Polina had to put up with the comments of ill-wishers, as her union with Dibrov was considered a mésalliance. "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' complaints. 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 motherhood experience on the reality show "Pregnant" and on her microblog. She openly talked about breast augmentation surgery, which lost its shape after three childbirths, and was not shy about showing off the expensive clothes and trips the husband indulged her with.

"I don't spend money left and right, but I love to surround myself with beauty. I'm not the type of person who will keep a beautiful tea set 'for a special occasion.' I will use it daily," said the brunette about the rule she adopted from her husband. Polina called 2016 the fateful and at the same time "springboard" year: the marriage was experiencing some kind of crisis, and the mother of many children thought about the need to start her own business. Thus, Dibrova's women's club appeared. "I created it, among other things, to support the family, because I understood that we have three sons. I also had to create a safety net for myself for the future. I didn't know how the situation would develop, no one is insured against anything. Dmitry could leave, and I would be left with the children," the model reflected in the podcast "Untangle Me."

Upon learning of the impending divorce, the couple's eldest son noted that he needed time to process it, while the youngest burst into tears. For 15 years, Polina reasoned that marriage is based on honesty and the ability to express feelings to one's partner, so crises are not scary for it. It seemed that after Dmitry's stroke in 2020, the couple's relationship became even stronger, as Dibrov began to monitor his health better 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 a shock she experienced before flying to India. " Few people know about this, to be honest," Dibrova intrigued her subscribers. "But now I can talk about it calmly, 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 badly shaken. I was just trying to pull myself together. I only started resting yesterday. We are leaving very soon. That's how life turns out. It constantly presents some surprises."

Last summer, fans were concerned that there was discord in the family, as pictures 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 spicy nuance was that the businessman had long been a neighbor of the TV presenter – their houses on Rublevka were located 500 meters apart.

"Roman and I agreed that all family issues needed to be resolved. And if we go through everything with honor and dignity, we will build our lives," Polina frankly shared about Tovstik's divorce from Elena. Of course, the families socialized, 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 someone else. "I was preparing for this, including consulting with my spiritual advisor. 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 dialogue. <… I thought about everyone, I thought about how to make it easier for Dima, for my parents, because this is a big blow for them. But I realized that I was living in deceit, betraying myself, and an internal destruction began," Dibrova shared in an interview with Laura Dzhugelia.

Elena did not hide that her heart was broken, expressed her intention to fight for her family, and went on TV shows and interviews, frankly 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 easily, without dividing property. The model also clarified that she had been friends with Lena Tovstik from 2012 to 2017: the communication ended when the businesswoman did not make her friend the godmother of Ilya and refused to celebrate the birthdays of her older children together.

While Elena was indignant that her ex-husband began to reduce child support payments threefold and force her to sell their house to cover expenses, Polina demonstrated family idyll. "It's hard to take a man away. You can be a mistress as much as you want, but it's hard to take a man away to make him leave six children, go nowhere, to rented houses, what do you have to do! For him, this is a nightmare. It must have been that way to drive a man. I can't imagine a woman who would take my husband away. I was honest with him," Polina assured. However, questions continued to pour in, as the relationship between the Dibrovs and Tovstiks...
