The actress spoke about her trip to Paris

Actress Darya Melnikova, known for the TV series Papiny Dochki (Daddy's Girls), told her followers that she had flown out of Russia with her family: according to her, she is in Paris with her husband and daughter. This is reported by Gazeta.Ru citing a post by the actress on Instagram (Meta, its owner company, has been designated as extremist and banned in Russia), where she posted photos from the trip.

Context: the actress's family

Melnikova is married to her colleague Roman Nabatov. In 2024 she stopped hiding her relationship with the artist, and on June 19 of that year she announced that she had become a mother again: in a video edited for Nabatov's birthday, she called him her husband, thereby revealing their secret wedding, and showed their shared child. The actress had kept her third pregnancy secret; a year later she revealed their daughter's name — Elizaveta. In addition, Melnikova has two sons from actor Artur Smolyaninov (designated a foreign agent in the Russian Federation and included on the list of terrorists and extremists) — 11-year-old Artur and 7-year-old Mark; in 2021 the actress said she had divorced the boys' father but had maintained good relations with him.

What remains unknown

The report about the trip comes from the actress herself and is not accompanied by details about its nature or duration. The outlet does not specify whether it is a short trip or a relocation, so there is as yet no basis for drawing conclusions about a change of residence based on the post.
