Photo with roses sparks rumors of a new romance

Elena Perminova, the ex-wife of Russian billionaire Alexander Lebedev, has fueled talk of a new relationship amid her move to Dubai. This is reported by Gazeta.Ru citing the outlet Spletnik. The reason was a post on Instagram (Meta's owner has been designated extremist in Russia and banned) — the model posted photos with a large bouquet of white roses, and users took it as a hint at a new romance. Perminova herself has not confirmed the romance rumors.

In September the model denied rumors of a relationship with Vorobyov

This is not the first time fans have tried to find out about her personal life. In September, Perminova invited her followers to ask questions, and one fan asked about a photo in which the model is seen in the arms of a man named Artyom Vorobyov during a birthday celebration — the fan wanted to know whether he was her boyfriend. At the time, the model denied rumors of a new romance.

Perminova announced her breakup with Alexander Lebedev, who is 27 years her senior, on her personal blog on December 25, 2024. The former couple have four children — Nikita, Egor, Arina and Alexander — and are raising them together. The publications contain no information on whether the model's new romance has been confirmed.
