People's Artist of Ukraine Alexander Ponomarev kept his personal life under seven locks for a long time, but at the presentation of his debut novel " The celebrity publicly said for the first time that his beloved’s name is Sofia; moreover, he hinted at a possible marriage, as he called her “wife” several times..

Ponomarev made a rare statement about the relationship, talking about the difficulties in writing the book. He frankly admitted that for some time his wife was jealous of the heroine of the novel, but in the end everything worked out. A video of the singer's performance at the presentation appeared in the Instagram stories of the project "

" Yes, my Sofia was jealous of me. I even Googled whether wives of their husbands are generally jealous of the heroines of novels. Found myself in good company. We quarreled for about a week and a half because she thought I was in love with someone. But, thank God, my wife’s mother is a philologist, and I let her read the first ten chapters. She became my lawyer, and it became easier,” the performer shared.

Let us recall that Alexander Ponomarev did not hesitate to discuss his two previous marriages with Elena Mozgova and Victoria Martynyuk in public, however, having experienced the consequences of such frankness, he decided to keep his personal life secret. The artist mostly avoided discussing relationships until his friend Yuri Gorbunov stirred up interest in this topic..

" If there is any newer one (wife. – Ed. ), then I don’t know about her,” the presenter said at the beginning of 2025.

However, Alexander Ponomarev himself subsequently partially refuted the showman’s loud statement. The performer confirmed that he had indeed been in a relationship for several years, but had not yet entered into a marriage with his beloved at that time.

Sources later told TSN. ua that the celebrity’s heart was allegedly won by PR woman Sofia Novikova, 17 years younger. She was born in Crimea, and at one time appeared on television as a participant in the show “I Dance for You”.

Alexander Ponomarev did not comment on rumors about the identity of his chosen one for a long time, but in June of this year he published a photo in which he appeared in front of the camera in the company of friends, gently pressing his head against Sofia Novikova. The PR woman was also present at the presentation of the novel. Considering that the artist publicly noted that his wife's name is Sofia, it seems that the rumors were true.
