Navka and Zhulin and official divorce (Fedpress - July 15, 2009)

Famous skater, Olympic champion Tatiana Navka and her coach, equally famous retired skater Alexander Zhulin, have officially divorced. That put the end to a relationship that has lasted a decade; it also put an end to the gossip swirling around their ex-family - accordingto "MyJane.ru".

"Alexander is now officially a free man," shares Zhulin's close friend. "Not even a stamp in the passport ties him to Tanya now. Their child is the only thing that will always connect them, " writes Афиша@Mail.Ru.

"Yes, it's a done deal, I'm free," casually says Zhulin.

"Alexander and I still live together," continues to insist Tatiana Navka.

A year ago, when the divorce proceedings of the gloried skaters was already in full swing and the relationship between former spouses was strained at best, they nonetheless endured to family vacation in Italy for the sake of their child. Now it's different. Navka has spent a few weeks this summer with Marat Basharov in Los Angeles, whereas Zhulin is vacationing in France with the young skater Natalya Mikhailova.

According to this (and I do not know if it is accurate), Navka is already in another relationship, as well.

Is Marat Basharov the man with whom Navko won the first Ice Age Show?

[Fashionista]

Yeah, that's him.

And talking about Zhulin's girlfriend it's definitely Natalya Mikhailova http://life.ru/news/110855

How disappointing

[alithia]

Yes that's definitely Mikhailova...
That's sad, but if it's for the best of both of them best of luck to them.
I think Zhulin is in France coaching P/B right now...
