Eteri Tutberidze’s daughter and Boris Smolkin’s son have been living in the USA for many years. In March of last year, they got married in the American state of Nevada, which became known only in the summer. Then the skaters did not want to comment on the information about their wedding. Only today did they admit that the ceremony actually took place.
The 20-year-old athlete and her 23-year-old partner shared a joint photo taken in a restaurant. Selfie by Gleb. He sat at the festive table in a white shirt, and Diana preferred a black dress with a deep neckline. “One year,” the couple wrote, adding a ring emoji.
Davis and Smolkin became the silver medalists of the Russian championship last year and also made their debut at the Olympic Games, where they took 14th place. Then there were rumors about the intention of Davis and Smolkin to change sports citizenship. The press reported on their contacts with the figure skating federations of the USA, Georgia and Israel. The reason was the ban on the participation of Russian athletes in international competitions. However, the couple denied this information.
However, this season the pair did not enter any competition within Russia. Gleb assured that this happened due to bureaucratic difficulties. “Unfortunately, young people with a Russian passport are treated very harshly. I am constantly detained at the border, I hang around for six or seven hours at some interviews, Diana is waiting for me with my suitcases. That’s a wild problem,” the skater explained.
Boris Smolkin recently celebrated his 75th birthday. The eldest son Vladimir, a theater producer, came to celebrate the actor of the series “My Fair Nanny”. And the youngest, Gleb, could not come on a family vacation in Russia.
