Polina Dibrova Reveals Roman Tovstik’s Struggles: A Love Story Amidst Turmoil
Polina Dibrova and Roman Tovstik’s Relationship
Polina Dibrova and businessman Roman Tovstik’s relationship has long been kept away from the public eye. Although rumors of their romantic involvement surfaced last summer, the couple only recently started making public appearances together. Their first joint outing was at a New Year’s Eve event at Polina’s women’s club, where they openly displayed their affection and posed for photographs together.
Polina’s Struggles
Polina’s interview with Ksenia Sobchak is still fresh in everyone’s memory. She admitted that she could only now breathe a sigh of relief after the wave of discussions that had overwhelmed her. The internet was abuzz with every step she took, from her appearance to hints about her personal life. The negativity, speculation, and aggressive comments were relentless, and at one point, it affected her so deeply that she had to resort to medication. Polina lived in constant tension, fearing to open her phone and see another barrage of messages and headlines. Only recently has she been able to stop taking sedatives and start returning to normal life.
Polina does not hide the fact that the psychological pressure was so strong that she experienced truly frightening thoughts for the first time in her life. She openly admitted that she felt completely devalued and her personality destroyed when people, without knowing the real situation, passed judgment and mercilessly attacked her in the public space.
Roman’s Struggles
Roman Tovstik also had a hard time. The divorce was a painful and emotionally draining process for him. Polina confesses that if they had to go through all this alone, she simply would not have been able to bear it. It was especially difficult for her to see how Roman was literally breaking inside.
If we had gone through this separately, I would have died. I woke up in the morning to the sound of Roma crying. He cried every morning. He was in so much pain and it was so hard for him,
— Dibrova said.
According to her, Tovstik was not only worried about his personal circumstances but also about his responsibility to his children and his ex-wife. Polina emphasizes that he has always been an involved father and a man who sincerely tried to help everyone involved in this difficult situation. His concern for the children and desire to smooth out the conflict was another confirmation for her of the kind of man she is with.
Blending Families
Now, some of Roman’s six children live with him and Polina. Moreover, relationships within the family are gradually being built. One of Tovstik’s daughters openly says that she is comfortable with Dibrova and that she is happy to see her father happy and ‘flourishing’ next to this woman. For Polina, this is especially important because she never set out to take anyone’s place.
She emphasizes that she does not seek to replace the children’s biological mother and does not claim the role of the main adult in their lives. It is fundamentally important for her that the children maintain a connection with their mother and can restore communication over time. Polina says that she sees them as part of her beloved man’s life and only wants to create a calm, safe, and comfortable atmosphere for them. Even in difficult moments, including conflicts, she tries to handle them as carefully as possible, reminding everyone that each child has a mother, and this cannot be crossed out by any offenses.
Reflections on the Past
Today, Polina speaks more and more calmly about the past without bitterness, recognizing that her union with Dmitry Dibrov was an important and significant part of her life. She openly talks about never experiencing financial need. The TV host fully provided for the family and initially made it clear that he did not see the need for his wife to work. His family model assumed that Polina would take care of the home, children, herself, and her personal development. For a long time, this arrangement suited her, but over time, she felt an inner void. She then began looking for a cause that would give her not only something to do but also a sense of support.
This is how the women’s club appeared—a project that eventually became a full-fledged business and an important part of her life. Polina admits that over time, she realized that her own income is not a struggle for leadership but a matter of security. Not only personal but also family security. She was aware that life is unpredictable, and having a financial cushion could be a decisive factor in a difficult situation.
At the same time, Dibrova emphasizes that she never sought to dominate in the marriage or demonstrate financial independence. On the contrary, she was close to the traditional family model where the man feels strong and responsible. Even when she could fully provide for herself and the children, Polina preferred not to draw attention to this, believing that partnership is built not on competition but on respect and balance.
