Blogger Valeria Chekalina appeared at a court hearing visibly pregnant, accompanied by her partner, dancer Louis Squicchiarini. The 33-year-old influencer's baby news came as a surprise to her ex-husband, Artem Chekalin, who faces the same criminal proceedings and told reporters he was learning of the development for the first time. The formerly married couple ended their 12-year union and share three children who remain with their mother.
Chekalina began training at an upscale dance studio under Squicchiarini's instruction three years prior, sparking speculation that their romance contributed to the marital breakdown. The 37-year-old dancer previously revealed his girlfriend was six months along and expressed nervousness about their relationship receiving public scrutiny. Meanwhile, Artem's new relationship with Nadezhda Senatskaya ended when his legal difficulties resurfaced, while Valeria maintained her connection with the father of her expected fourth child.
