Aleksandr Poverin, the former fiancé of singer Klava Koka, recently opened up about their relationship and why he chose not to propose to her. The couple, who met on the reality show Heart of Klava, had been together for over a year before announcing their breakup in October 2024.
During his interview with Alena Blin, Poverin expressed his belief about the importance of timing when it came to marriage. "I believe proposing marriage is only necessary after a year of relationship and whether the couple is ready for such a serious step," he stated. He explained how taking such steps lightly could lead to painful divisions later on, emphasizing, "For me, marriage and kids are very serious; I don't want to divide property and children later. This is my biggest fear. I take my time on such matters and think thoroughly before deciding."
Poverin’s views came after Klava articulated her own frustrations on the matter, stating earlier on the show Sessiya with Dmitry Dibrov, "I feel he wasn’t ready for family and children." While they spent considerable time together, Poverin highlighted the struggles they faced due to his commitment to his own projects and her demanding career. "There wasn’t enough time for each other; Klava devoted more attention to her career. Being with her was often only possible at events and tours," he noted.
This lack of quality time and differing priorities certainly weighed on their relationship. Klava, whose real name is Klavdiya Vadimovna Vysokova, has also faced scrutiny about her relationships with other celebrities, with rumors connecting her to figures like Dima Bilan and Egor Krid. Poverin, on the other hand, focused on carving out his own path. He stated he did not wish to leverage Koka’s connections for his career aspirations, saying, "I dream of becoming an actor, but I want to do it on my own without relying on Koka’s fame. I even tried to get roles, like one on the series Get Me Out of My Door, but didn’t pass the casting."
Financial stability also played a significant role. Poverin added, "It’s important to be financially stable before even thinking about marriage. I’m not surprised if Klava had expectations for results, but I believe she just needed to have more patience with my process." Their financial interactions were marked by mutual contribution; Poverin emphasized there were no disputes on expenses like travels, often shared equally.
Reflecting on their time together, Poverin mentioned, "When I look back, I realize there were difficulties. Instead of going out and partying, I often chose video games to unwind, which Klava criticized. I think it was misguided; these allowed me to avoid more harmful habits. But they came to symbolize my disinterest to some extent, which wasn’t true." He regretted not having more open discussions about their issues and cited various incidents, including one fight during their time together related to social media posts, as points of contention.
Upon hearing Poverin’s reflections, Klava Koka made her own subtle announcement via social media, posting lyrics from her song: "Don’t forget to tell everyone what an angel you are, what a bitch I am." This cryptic but pointed response captures the complex emotions felt during and after their break, reflecting disappointment and unfulfilled expectations from both sides.
Both Poverin and Koka have recognized the struggles of their high-profile relationship, laden with media scrutiny and public perception. Now, as they each navigate their futures, it remains to be seen how their paths will diverge and whether they will address the lessons learned from their time together.
With their widely publicized relationship coming to an end, fans are left to speculate on Koka’s next steps. She continues focusing on her musical career, which has seen considerable success, and remains hopeful for what lies ahead.
Poverin's insights signal maturity and thoughtfulness about the significant steps of marriage and family life, as he reflects on the required depth of commitment. His musings suggest these decisions should not be rushed, no matter how pressuring external expectations may seem.
