"Dear subscribers, I would really like you to receive all the important information from me personally. Therefore, I want to inform you that a month ago I divorced. So that you do not have any questions and unnecessary speculation, I will immediately try to close them. There are no reasons as such, it's just that my ex-husband turned out to be not my man. We also have no complaints against each other. I love Alisa very much and I am very grateful to Lesha for our daughter. And I ask you not to raise this topic any more, "Mustafina wrote.
