[Asia Economy Reporter Hana Na] A Russian woman who had an affair with her adopted stepsons announced her pregnancy and marriage.

On the 13th (local time), British daily The Sun reported that Russian influencer Marina Balmasheva (35), who has over 500,000 followers, is marrying her stepson Vladimir Shabirin (21) and will have children.

According to The Sun, Balmasheva built a family with her ex-husband Alexey Shabirin (45) and adopted and raised six children. Vladimir was one of them, and at the time of adoption, Balmasheva was 21 years old and Vladimir was 7.

The relationship between Vladimir and Balmasheva began last year after Vladimir became a university student. Balmasheva seduced her stepson, who stayed at home during vacation, and the two eventually fell in love.

Ex-husband Alexey revealed, "Even when I was at home, the two committed the affair without hesitation," adding, "My wife would go to my son's room while I was asleep and then return to the master bedroom acting as if nothing happened." He also said, "If the affair partner wasn't my son, I would have forgiven my wife."

Balmasheva also confessed that she underwent plastic surgery to appear more attractive to Vladimir. She said, "People around me said, 'Now that you have a young husband, you should wear makeup,' but my husband loves all my plastic surgery scars, cellulite, and sagging skin."

When asked by a follower if she regrets breaking up a family, she replied, "Both yes and no," explaining, "I regret not providing stability to the children as a parent, but I do not regret divorcing my ex-husband."
