Natalia and Vitaly Klitschko

Vitali Klitschko, a famous boxer in the past and now the mayor of Kyiv, announced his divorce from his wife Natalia after 26 years of marriage. Reported by RIA Novosti with reference to Klitschko’s interview with the Ukrainian edition of Babel. According to Klitschko, the decision to part ways was mutual.

— Klitschko quoting RIA Novosti.

Asked whether his heart was free, Klitschko avoided stating that his heart was already occupied by Kyiv.

Vitali Klitschko and Natalia Egorova got married in April 1996. They have three children: sons Egor-Daniel (born 2000) and Maxim (born 2005) and daughter Elizabeth-Victoria (born 2002). The eldest son lives in the USA, and the younger children live with their mother in Hamburg (Germany).

Natalia has long lived in Germany, where Klitschko performed a lot during her sports career, and Klitschko herself is in Ukraine – the head of Kiev since 2014. In this position, the world boxing champion became famous, among other things, for unusual expressions – funny quotes by Klitschko quickly dispersed on the network. The former athlete addresses his modest talents in eloquence with self-irony. A few years ago, he even published a book of his own quotes, which includes one of the most famous phrases: “Today, not everyone can see tomorrow!” Klitschko’s wife, a former athlete and model, is now building a career as a singer in Germany.
