Morozov has a daughter only, Annabelle Nicole, who is I believe around 13 years old. I don't think Tarsova and her husband had any children. The last few years of his life he lived in Germany.

There would be no way Tat would like her daughter (if she were) to skate with the son of someone has moral issues like Morozov (as she described him).Thank you all for the answersyeah I can't imagine them skating together, that would be like a modern Romeo and Juliet. Would have been fun, though

No, these are just very widespread surnames... There are loads and loads of Tarasovs and Morozovs, not only among skaters.
Though it's funny, indeed, that two young skaters with these names happened to be together in a pair.

She doesn't have children, does she? I've tried to find out all about her life because I find her fascinating, but the information in English is rather limited. I know her husband was a pianist who lived in Germany (mostly without her, I guess?
) but I've never seen any mention of a child.

about her having children, I am afraid no.

Another stupid question for our Russian friends. I have always wanted to know how Russian Surnames work. I love Maria Butyrskaya 
and wondered if her Fathers last name was Butyr or Butyrs.
I know Maria Sharapova's Fathers last name is Sharapov so, I guess my question should be which of these are correct. Skaya added or just Aya meaning his name would be Butyrsk.
Thanks in advance.

There's not much known about her dad, other than he left the family after her little brother was born. Following the rules I would presume his name would have been Butyrsky.
A or aya is added on for the feminine version.

Do you mean just "-aya"??? Not "-kaya"??

So the "male Version" und Sotnikova would be Sotnikov, right?
How would it work with Lipnitskaya ? Would her Grandpa be called Lipnitsk ?

Thank you. I realize I sound like a stalker but, it's really hard to find information about Maria that isn't in Russian. I speak a couple of languages but, man, Russian is so hard for me to learn. I can say hello, thank you, and couple of other words. However, I could never spell them in Russian.

Interesting! Does it work outside of Russia as well? For example, would a 3rd generation Russian-American woman do that?

That's what I thought about Maria. That her surname would be Butyrsk but, I think Butyrsky is a cool name. Ok Russian speakers, this is my last question, I swear.... How come Sotnikova only has an " A " and Lipnitsky has " Aya " added.
It depends on a part of speech. If surname is a noun, it is likely to have suffix OV. For male surnames this suffix is at the very end of a word (SotnikOV, MorozOV), but female ones additionally get ending A after suffix OV (SotnikOVA, MorozOVA). If surname is an adjective, the male version gets ending Y (LipnitskY, ButyrskY) and the female version - AYA (LipnitskAYA, ButyrskAYA).

Unless irregular, Russian surnames ending in '-n' or '-v' will only get the '-a' enclitic like Sotnikov-a and Sharapov-a. Russian surnames ending with a '-y' will get the 'aya' enclitic like Lipnitsk(y)-aya.
It has to do with Russian phonetics and what sounds euphonic or whatnot, I guess. There really isn't a reason why, it just is.
Polish surnames work the same way. I had an organic chemistry professor 2 years ago who's surname was Slowinska and there was another chemistry professor named Slowinski. I thought it was funny and coincidental how two people with similar surnames were working in the same department until I found out they were married and their surnames change according to gender. Pretty cool, I think.
