Russian rapper Guf, whose real name is Alexey Dolmatov, has sparked rumors of a new romance after attending his sister's wedding in the company of a 27-year-old woman.
The 47-year-old hip-hop artist appeared embracing his companion at the wedding celebration, according to reports published by the Russian Telegram channel Super. The outlet reported that the musician spent almost the entire evening with his companion, who was seen stroking Guf's back and holding his hand throughout the event.
Journalists later identified the artist's companion as Valeria Atadjanova, who is also known by the surname Botvinieva. Atadjanova maintains a minimal presence on social media platforms, keeping very few active accounts. Reports indicate that she was married in 2025, though her current marital status remains unknown.
Previous relationships and recent comments
The public appearance comes following a period of romantic turbulence for the musician. Dolmatov had been in a relationship with Raziyat Salakhova since 2023, during which the couple parted ways and reconciled on multiple occasions over the course of their time together.
Dolmatov also recently addressed his personal life online, joking about narcissism against the backdrop of public accusations made by a former partner.
Background on Alexey Dolmatov and Super
Performing under the pseudonym Guf, Alexey Dolmatov is one of the most prominent figures in Russian hip-hop history. He gained nationwide fame in the mid-2000s as a founding member of the influential Moscow rap group Centr, which played a key role in popularizing underground Russian rap. Over a career spanning more than two decades, Guf's solo discography and personal life have frequently made headlines across regional media.
The report was broken by Super, a major Russian digital entertainment news outlet and Telegram channel specializing in celebrity gossip, show business reporting, and exclusive coverage of public figures. Neither Dolmatov nor Atadjanova has issued a public statement clarifying the nature of their relationship following the wedding gathering.
