Russian media caused a real stir at the end of June: news of a "secret wedding" between singer SHAMAN (Yaroslav Dronov) and Ekaterina Mizulina, head of the Safe Internet League, spread across the network. The occasion was a modest celebration at a restaurant in Patriarch Ponds in Moscow.

According to reports, the evening was held in a close circle – among the guests named were the bride's mother, Elena Mizulina, and singer Grigory Leps. Guests were given bouquets of white roses, and toasts and songs were heard. The date was not chosen by chance: the feast was timed to coincide with the anniversary of the couple's acquaintance – Dronov and Mizulina met three years ago, in June, during a live broadcast.

However, the artist himself quickly cooled the ardor of his fans. At a press conference at the "Russia Today" multimedia center on June 29, SHAMAN laughingly responded to the rumors: "We lie on the couch in the evenings, just cracking up at these news and don't know what to do. Either we secretly get married, or we secretly get divorced." And he added: "You decide already, are you marrying us off or divorcing us in the end?"

According to Dronov, there was no secret wedding – "we had a regular dinner with relatives. And, in general, not a secret one." The singer reminded that he and Ekaterina have long been officially married: the couple registered their marriage on November 5, 2025, at the registry office in Donetsk. So the June feast was not a wedding, but a family celebration that journalists mistook for a wedding.

The artist spoke openly about his relationship long before the registration. Six months before it, Dronov publicly stated: "I officially declare to everyone – we are a couple, we are dating, we are together." Today, SHAMAN remains one of the most in-demand performers on the Russian pop scene, and his union with Ekaterina Mizulina is one of the most discussed topics in the social chronicles. And, judging by the artist's own mood, the rumors surrounding their family amuse him rather than upset him.
