Married Triathlete Addresses Romance Rumors with Yelena Tovstik: ‘Cheers to Love and Haters’
Married Triathlete Addresses Romance Rumors with Yelena Tovstik
The scandal surrounding billionaire Roman Tovstik’s family confidently draws parallels to a multi-episode drama—complete with betrayals, loud statements, mutual accusations, and unexpected supporting characters. Let’s recall that the entrepreneur left his wife Yelena, the mother of his six children, and, as insiders assure, he did this for Polina Dibrova. However, very quickly, another character appeared in this story—a married triathlete Ilya Slepow, who was suspected of a secret relationship with Yelena Tovstik.
According to one version, it was the alleged infidelity of his spouse with the famous athlete that became the point of no return for Roman. There is no official confirmation of this, but the love triangle has long been discussed online. Now, Ilya has publicly reacted to the noise around his name for the first time.
The athlete chose a maximally ironic tactic. Instead of justifications and emotional statements, he published footage with his wife—they are sitting with glasses of wine at the table at home and laughing.

“Promoting triathlon in every possible way. And cheers to love and haters,” Ilya noted laconically.
Users appreciated this approach instantly. Commentators admitted that they were waiting for the athlete’s reaction and were clearly not disappointed: “The heroes of this series find me themselves,” “Finally, I found out who this champion in a triathlon is,” “When I wished to become popular, but did not specify the detail of what to become famous for,” “So that’s why triathlon!” “Just don’t close the comments. We’ll gather enough for the final part of the series here,” “And I think it’s a cool experience! And the girls are hot! Hold your head high, let the others be jealous,” “Let them think that we are athletes,” “I was waiting for this post! Well done,” “I always knew that sports is power,” “Well done! May you have happiness. Special respect to the wife! Smart, she rose above all the participants.”
Most users agreed that the Slepow family looks strong and confident, and the athlete’s wife herself is a person who prefers to stay above scandals. At the same time, many continue to guess how she actually feels about all this noise.

Interestingly, not so long ago, Yelena Tovstik publicly supported Ilya. In her social networks, she shared warm words about the athlete, emphasizing that he had been preparing for an important start for a long time and persistently, went through it with pain and restrictions, and called the will to win and the right attitude the key to victory. Yelena focused on the fact that the body adapts to the mind, which means that with faith in oneself, an athlete is capable of the impossible.
Recall that recently we all learned about Yelena’s former friend—Maria Ester-Trubitsyna. The woman claims that she also had a close relationship with Roman Tovstik and at that time had feelings for him. Moreover, Maria made loud accusations against Yelena, stating that she allegedly turned a blind eye to her husband’s numerous infidelities and even participated in his personal life much more actively than is commonly believed. Ester-Trubitsyna said that after Yelena’s interview with Ksenia Sobchak, she decided to show the other side of the coin and support her words with facts. According to her version, unlike her own “traditional couple,” Roman and Yelena’s relationship was an open format, where intimate relationships were the norm, and a luxurious life in Rublevka was a kind of payment for silence.

Maria paid special attention to Polina Dibrova. She ironically noted that it is naive to believe that her communication with Tovstik was limited exclusively to friendship. And Maria herself assures that she met with Roman alone more than once, and also recalled events two years ago when the businessman was actively interested in her even during his romantic relationship with Polina.
Maria did not stop there. Recently, she directly addressed Dibrova, publishing a series of frank photos taken in Tovstik’s mansion in Rublevka, in the house where Yelena now lives. Maria challengingly asked if the businessman allows his current chosen one to handle his musical instruments so freely. In the shots, Maria poses in her underwear. A special resonance was caused by the photo in which she licks the guitar in Tovstik’s music studio. Internet users perceived this gesture as an outright provocation.
