The high-profile relationship between Lithuanian singer Oksana Pikul and fighter Danielius Dirksytis has concluded after approximately six months. Despite the short duration, their romance was marked by numerous public appearances, romantic moments, and a widely publicized engagement.
The couple first confirmed their relationship on Valentine's Day, with Pikul sharing photos from a photoshoot with the significantly younger Dirksytis. She confirmed their romantic connection to "Delfi," stating, "We agreed not to comment further for now. But that we have a romantic relationship is obvious."

Just a week later, on February 21, they made their first public appearance together at a combat sports event in Kaunas. Pikul was not only a supporter but also became part of Dirksytis's show. As their relationship progressed, they shared more personal moments, including Dirksytis interacting with Pikul's son, Dominykas, and Pikul meeting Dirksytis's family.
Oksana Pikul, I have a question for you in front of all of Lithuania. Can you comb my hair before the fight and be my wife at the same time?
The most notable event occurred on April 18 during another combat sports tournament. Before Dirksytis's fight, Pikul's song "Olialia pupyฤiลณ" played, and Dirksytis proposed to Pikul on one knee in front of the audience. Pikul accepted, and Dirksytis placed a ring on her finger. This moment quickly went viral on social media.
Following the engagement, Dirksytis expressed a desire for Pikul's ex-husband, basketball player Simas Jasaitis, to attend their wedding. Jasaitis responded humorously to a post about the potential wedding, indicating he would accept an invitation. In June, the couple took a romantic trip to Phuket, Thailand, sharing moments from their journey.
