Overview
- The couple appeared together on the red carpet for the musical "Romeo & Julia – Liebe ist alles" in Düsseldorf in late August, marking their first official joint event appearance.
- Leonova and choreographer Ilya Viarmenich have been together since October 2024 and moved into a jointly bought home near Cologne in January 2025.
- Leonova first confirmed the relationship on Instagram around Valentine’s Day 2025 and has since shared occasional private photos before this public debut.
- In an interview with Promiflash she said the appearance had no elaborate plan, that it simply "felt right," and that they never tried to hide the relationship but wanted to live it at their own pace.
- The couple’s Instagram Story from the premiere, plus coverage by German entertainment outlets, signals a deliberate step toward more visibility for Leonova who is known from Let's Dance while Viarmenich remains primarily a choreographer.
