“I can eat absolutely anything”
Anna Anisimova, “PRO Health”: - Many women dream of losing weight, but you, on the contrary, have said more than once that your goal is to gain weight. And recently you succeeded. Are you able to maintain your weight now?
Victoria Bonya: — Quarantine “helped” me get better — while I was in self-isolation, I worked little and ate a lot. There were no constant flights around the world and changes in time zones. Thanks to the correct regime, it was possible to “accumulate” a couple of kilograms in the right places. I also noticed that when I start actively jogging uphill, I gain muscle mass and, accordingly, weight. Working with weights in the gym also helps to achieve good shape. I manage to maintain the desired weight: I am still at home, eating 3 times a day. But I think as soon as I return to my usual work schedule, I’ll start to lose weight - that’s how my body works.

— Did your new hobby of cooking also contribute to your weight gain? You recently shared on Instagram that you learned to cook. Have you learned the basics yourself?
— Indeed, during self-isolation I became interested in cooking in a new way: I began to be more creative in the kitchen. I go to restaurants very often, try different dishes, and now I have time to cook them at home. And I became so good at it that I even stopped ordering anything. Now that I get food delivered to my home from good establishments, I notice that it doesn’t taste as good to me anymore.

— Do you eat any foods or do you limit yourself to something?
— I can eat absolutely everything. But, for example, I don’t consume dairy products, because I simply don’t like them. Of course, I bake pancakes with regular milk, but I prefer pasta with cream sauce with coconut cream. I guess I don’t have any more restrictions on products.
— Victoria, you can be called a fitness guru! You do so much and already organize master classes for fans. Would you like to go deeper into sports and become a coach?
— Now I am actively developing a direction related to facial care. My master classes are dedicated to face yoga and face building. Yes, I constantly engage in different types of sports activities, I can show and share exercises, but I won’t say that today I am such a powerful trainer to teach someone. But as for the face, yes, I can call myself a guru in this matter. If, for example, your chin has sagged, the contour has disappeared or your eyelids are drooping, there is no need to rush to the cosmetologist’s office to undergo procedures, surgeries and injections. All these problems can be solved with the help of special exercises.

Victoria Bonya spoke about her real relationship with her husband Alex
For several years now, there has been an ongoing discussion about the fact that TV presenter and socialite Victoria Bonya is not officially married to her boyfriend Alex Smurfit.
The media tirelessly writes that Vika is about to leave Alex, and that she is allegedly making every effort to drag the man down the aisle by force, tricks, subterfuge, blackmail and a love potion.
But in reality this is not the case. Victoria and Alex have a wonderful daughter, they are happy, and Boni has an answer to all such statements: “Dear journalists, there is no need to come up with stupid headlines like this! My husband doesn’t leave me anywhere in order to KEEP him! No matter how our happiness is in someone’s throat, our family is strong and filled with mutual love and the desire to only increase our happiness! So keep your ridiculous articles to yourself... Otherwise you will have to answer according to the law! I will no longer allow anyone to invent fables and wishful thinking.”
Vika was also supported by many subscribers who told their stories and opinions on this matter. “It turns out that when you are not scheduled, then your husband has no obligations to you? My husband (not official) will be the same husband to me, with or without a stamp. And if you are confident in your marriage, only because of the stamp, then it’s like “uh-oh.” Yes, and I don’t dream of a wedding. If they call me, I'll go. If they don’t call me, I won’t be upset. It’s just that your model of life is yours alone. I'm really glad you're happy. But why force a wedding on someone who doesn’t want one. And call the family - cohabitant and cohabitant. I don't care about status in society. It’s strange that someone doesn’t give a damn who thinks about them,” the girl writes. “Alex looks at Victoria in every photo together more expensive than stamps,” adds another. “When there is nothing else to be proud of, they are proud of the stamp or the child’s merits. They didn’t embody themselves anymore. How proud can one be of snapping his fingers once or twice? Proud of the fact that your family has been together for 50 years in love and harmony. But that's not the point. The point is, if marriage is the most important thing in your life, then there are other people who don't think so. There is no need to shift your model of life onto others. This is the first thing. And secondly, my parents, like the parents of the young man, support us because the main thing is happiness, not pieces of paper. And the main thing to remember is that a family cannot be made and preserved with a stamp.”
But there are also opponents of civil marriage: “I have been happy with my husband for many years in an official marriage. So your news is not for me. Love is a feeling and it's wonderful. And marriage is precisely a status and certain obligations and responsibilities. You can prove to me otherwise as much as you like, but every girl dreams of being a wife, and not just a cohabitant. Are you going to call me old-fashioned? Your right. Be happy". She is echoed by others: “You all get hung up on this colloquialism and continue to call people living together common-law spouses...in my opinion, this is nonsense. Well, enough discussion already.” How important is the stamp in your passport for you?

Proper breathing is the key to health
— Not so long ago you said that the father of your daughter Alex suffered from Lyme disease and you developed breathing exercises for him. What kind of exercises are these?
“I didn’t develop anything specifically for Alex, but only helped him find among many breathing practices the one he liked. In our case, this is a technique known throughout the world - Wim Hof breathing. Alex and I began to breathe together every day, and I believe this is what helped him in the process of recovery from his illness (energetically). By the way, I also became interested in this breathing practice - I have been doing it for 5 months, and at the same time I am studying other areas. Now I know even more exercises that have different effects on the body. You can perform a simple test: take a stopwatch and start breathing as you usually do. Count one inhalation and exhalation as one and see how many such units you get per minute. If it’s around 15–22, this is a clear indicator that your body is under stress. You must definitely pay attention to this and choose the appropriate breathing exercises.
— As far as I know, Alex adheres to a gluten-free diet and is teaching your daughter Angelina to it. Do you share his position?
— When Angelina spends time with her dad, she has one diet. With me it’s a completely different method of nutrition, without strict restrictions. Of course, I won’t allow her to eat fast food all the time, and she doesn’t have such a habit.

Objective mom
— Is it generally easy for you to come to an agreement with your ex-lover regarding raising your daughter?
- We always manage to come to an agreement. Our main rule is that we tell the child the same thing. That is, if we discuss some important issue with our daughter, Alex and I should have the same position. In a word, we work as a team.
—Are you a strict mother?
- Rather objective. I can’t call myself strict, but if I need to be persistent, I do it. I am against permissiveness and spoiling.

Victoria Bonya, after breaking up with the father of her only daughter, Alex Smerfit, dated several men, but all her romances ended in nothing. And finally, the glamorous brown-haired woman found female happiness . She admitted that she has a loved one.
Victoria Bonya published a post of gratitude to her mysterious boyfriend on her blog. She said that the man presented her with a bouquet of peonies , which Vika adores. “Favorite flowers from my beloved man, what could be better?!” the socialite signed a new photo, eloquently demonstrating that she is happy in her personal life.
It is noteworthy that until recently the 39-year-old model did not talk about her fiance. Bonya periodically intrigued followers, hinting that she was not alone again. However, only now she directly stated that she really has a boyfriend.
Subscribers reacted quite strongly to Boni's new photo. Under the photo, a heated discussion ensued about who was the only one who was made happy by the model.
“Who is the chosen one, does anyone know? It’s very interesting,” asked one of Victoria’s fans. In response, another answered knowledgeably: “He is @askhabovlion,” pointing to Khusein Askhabov’s Instagram. The 24-year-old boxer of Chechen origin has been living in France for a long time. And, as you know, Bonya settled in Monaco. France is just a stone's throw away, so perhaps the rumors about a romance between the model and the athlete may be true.
“Hussein is great, there are no words,” “Well, finally, Vika has a photo that every woman in the North Caucasus has. Vika, blink, if you are in captivity, we are losing you,” followers write. To which Bonya responded with smiling emoticons.
“So, my beloved is from Moscow,” network activists continue. “ He is from Chechnya . I don’t know how their relationship will turn out, but their children would be the most beautiful,” the especially insightful ones are sure.
Let us remember that Victoria Bonya lived with the son of Irish billionaire Alex Smerfit for seven years . From this union, the socialite gave birth to a daughter, Angelina-Letizia. The girl was born on March 17, 2012. After her parents separated, Angelina lives with her mother, but often meets with her father.
Vika was also in a relationship with French billionaire Pierre Andurand . True, in September 2018, the man unexpectedly announced a breakup with the Dom-2 star. Bonya, in turn, stated that their romantic relationship was just PR, for which the ex-lover allegedly paid her 500 thousand dollars. Upon learning of this, the angry Anduran called his former passion a “fake person.” Then Victoria justified herself, declaring her words a misunderstood joke that was distorted and conveyed to a person who had nothing to do with them. The TV presenter called on the billionaire to apologize for the insults. Anduran complied with the request, after which Bonya announced that she would no longer meet with foreigners.
In January 2020, information appeared that Victoria had started a new romance. She published footage of herself posing in the arms of a handsome man. Later it turned out that he was a 24-year-old mixed martial arts fighter, sambo wrestler and boxer of Chechen origin, Khusein Askhabov.
“I miss chebureks”
— You haven’t lived in Russia for a long time. Is there something you really miss?
— Probably, most of all I miss food that is not available in Europe: pasties, pilaf, Baku cucumbers.
— Many girls who live in Europe say that it is not so easy to find good manicurists and makeup artists there. Have you encountered this too?
- Oddly enough, this is true. I still get professional manicures in Russia. I've been going without it for 5 months now. Usually I went to Moscow once every 1.5 months, but now we are in quarantine. It’s easier with make-up artists - I do my make-up very well myself.

— Is there anything you would like to change about yourself?
- To be honest, if I had a magic wand, I would lengthen my legs by a couple of centimeters. (Laughs.) And I’m very happy with everything about myself.

Victoria Bonya was intrigued by the message about her new husband
Victoria Bonya // Photo: Instagram
At the beginning of the year, it became known that TV presenter and model Victoria Bonya broke up with her common-law husband Alex Smerfit, the father of the charming Angelina Letizia. Despite the fact that the former lovers decided to separate, they maintained good relations with each other. As it turned out, Bonya’s heart did not remain free for long. The woman started a new romance, as viewers of her live broadcasts on social networks found out about.
However, Victoria prefers not to share details about her other half. The celebrity only made it clear that she was very serious about her chosen one. The luxurious ring with a precious stone, which flaunts on the ring finger of the model’s right hand, also added fuel to the fire.
“My husband is at work... Yes, I have a husband. But I won't show it to you. And I won’t tell you anything about him,” Victoria said.

Apparently, Boni's new lover has already become friends with her daughter. In early September, Victoria announced that the mysterious chosen one had pleased Angelina Letizia with an unexpected surprise.
“We have Angelina who loves leopards. So my husband sent her a leopard. I found, bought and sent her a large leopard,” Victoria said.
Bonya also showed off an impressively sized toy that the child adores. It is quite possible that it was her girl who was given the stars by her new chosen one. Angelina Letizia was delighted with the stuffed animal. “He guards her sleep. Do you understand how serious it is? Handsome, huh? And he’s also on a leopard print pillow,” the celebrity shared.

At the same time, some Internet users said that Victoria Bonya is embellishing reality when talking about a new relationship. “She doesn’t have a husband,” “She’s probably cheating,” “If Bonya had a boyfriend, she would post a photo with him every fifteen minutes,” the spiteful critics discussed. Nevertheless, Victoria also had supporters who asked critics to moderate their ardor and stop condemning her. “Or maybe I really met a new love? How do we know? He wants it and hides it,” noted one of those who stood up for the woman.
Earlier, Victoria opened up during a live broadcast on one of the social networks. In March, Bonya announced that her heart was taken. “I’m already married in five minutes, what sadness? Yes, I’m in love again,” said the celebrity.
Let us remember that Victoria Bonya announced her separation from Alex Smerfit in February of this year. The TV presenter dedicated a post on Instagram to her former lover.
“He is my friend and beloved man, I’m sure it will always be like that. I know that many will now begin to misinterpret and come up with their own versions. This is not a spontaneous decision, we came to it six months ago,” Victoria shared.
