A Russian weight-loss influencer is going viral on the internet after she announced the birth of her first child with her stepson. According to Daily Mail, Marina Balmasheva, 35, who hails from Russia, left her husband to marry her stepson, Vladimir 'Vova' Shavyrin, now 21.

Marina married her new husband, Vladimir, her ex-husband's son, before welcoming their baby girl into the world, the Daily Mail reported. Their little girl was born in a maternity hospital in Krasnodar, weighing slightly over 8lbs.

The Russian blogger reportedly knew her now-husband ever since he was seven. Previously, she was married to Vladimir's father, Alexey Shavyrin, 45, who now cares for their five adopted children.

Marina said: “Dad does not want to show our daughter yet, that’s why the view is only from the back.

“We are thinking about the name."

She did not say if the father was not present due to Covid-19 restrictions or hospital policy or personal choice. Fewer fathers in Russia attend births of their children than in the West.

Marina said she was a 'complete mess' after the birth yesterday which followed her waters breaking as she watched Game of Thrones.

Earlier, she told her followers details of her pregnancy and revealed how she went through a succession of plastic surgery treatments to make herself attractive to her new spouse who she calls 'the most charming blue-eyes in the world'.
