Partners have included circus performer Mykolas Orbakas (father of her daughter Kristina Orbakaite), director Alexander Stefanovich, and pop singer Filipp Kirkorov, whose own career she boosted. She is still considered the Russian prima donna, and her "colleagues" are Sofia Rotaru and Roza Rymbaeva.
