Singer Kristina Orbakaite and her husband, businessman Mikhail Zemcov, recently celebrated a significant milestone: their 14-year-old daughter Klavdija's middle school graduation in Miami. Orbakaite shared a video on her Instagram, capturing the proud moment as her daughter transitions to a gymnasium.
Klavoฤka has finished middle school, now she is a gymnasium student! The most interesting things are still ahead.
"Klavoฤka has finished middle school, now she is a gymnasium student! The most interesting things are still ahead," Orbakaite wrote in the video's caption. The accompanying footage showed Zemcov and Klavdija dancing, with the graduate wearing a festive white dress.
Klavdija is the youngest child of the 55-year-old Orbakaite and Zemcov, who have been married for 20 years. Orbakaite has previously mentioned that Klavdija attends a regular American school, is bilingual, and engages in music and fashion photoshoots. Orbakaite also has two older sons from previous relationships, Denis and Nikita, who reside in the U.S.
In short, I have decided that we will meet sometime in a better life.
The family's location in Miami comes as Orbakaite's mother, Alla Pugacheva, and her husband, Maxim Galkin, left Russia in 2022 after condemning the war in Ukraine. Pugacheva, 77, currently resides in Limassol. Orbakaite herself announced in September 2024 her decision to cease performing in Russia, stating, "In short, I have decided that we will meet sometime in a better life." While she briefly posted "Only peaceful skies! No to war!" on Instagram at the start of the conflict, she later deleted it and has since largely avoided commenting on Russia's aggression.
Only peaceful skies! No to war!
