Polina Nagradova, a 17-year-old girl, met Dmitry Dibrov at a beauty contest. However, she did not immediately become the presenter'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 presenter 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 make Nagradova jealous, who herself was torn 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, no one knew about it. Well, except for my two friends. I remember we met with Dima and decided that he was getting divorced, and we were getting married," Polina told the YouTube channel "Era of Venus" in an interview. 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 a father to me. Precisely because he showed me this life from a side I had never seen before," Dibrova said on the show "Face to Face" on YouTube. At first, Polina had to put up with the comments of ill-wishers, as their union with Dibrov was considered a mismatch. "A big age difference: 'Why did you pay attention to him?', 'You won't live even a year or 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 motherhood experience on the reality show "Pregnant" and on her microblog. She frankly spoke about breast augmentation surgery, which lost its shape after three childbirths, and was not shy about showing off expensive outfits and trips that her 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 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: 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 kind of safety cushion 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 mused in the podcast "Untangle Me."

Upon learning about the upcoming divorce, the couple's eldest son noted that he needed time to process it, while the youngest one cried. For 15 years, Polina believed that marriage is based on honesty and the ability to express feelings to a partner, so crises were not scary for it. It seemed that after Dmitry's stroke in 2020, the couple's relationship became even stronger, as Dibrov started 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 posted 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 the first five days were really rough. 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 kind of surprises."

Last summer, fans became concerned that there was 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 spicy detail 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 we need to resolve all family issues. And if we go through everything with honor and dignity, we will build our lives," Polina candidly 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 someone else. "I was preparing for this, including consulting with my spiritual father. I also have a psychologist. I just didn't understand what to do, how to tell the person. 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 I started to self-destruct," 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 appeared 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 was friends with Lena Tovstik from 2012 to 2017: communication ended when the businesswoman did not make her friend the godmother of Ilya and refused to celebrate the birthdays of the older children together.

While Elena was outraged that her ex-husband began to reduce child support payments by three times and force them to sell their house to cover expenses, Polina demonstrated family idyll. "It's hard to take a man away. You can be a mistress for as long as you want, but it's hard to take a man away... To make him leave six children, go into nowhere, rented houses, what do you have to do! For him, it's a nightmare of nightmares. You have to drive a man to that. 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 of the Dibrovs-Tovstiks...
