In early June 2024, Sergei Polunin gave an interview to an RG columnist about the premiere of the ballet Crime and Punishment, and even then he asked to change the Ilyins’ surname in the text to Polunina. And in this performance, by the way, both of them again participated with talent. But they officially formalized their relationship only today.
The wedding ceremony took place on August 23, 2024, and Elena even shared her happy photo from the registry office on Telegram.
She also wrote about her love:
“So I became the wife of the Man I love cosmically. I love you very much, my Serezhenka. What a blessing to have you! While we were waiting, we staged six performances (“Rasputin”, “Little Red Riding Hood”, “Romeo and Juliet”, “Dante”, “The Master and Margarita”, “Crime and Punishment”), gave birth to three children…”
Yes, the couple already has three children: Mir (4 years old), Dar (2 years old) and the youngest, named Era, who is 9 months old.
Polunin himself commented on why he named his son so unusually:
“Somehow I came up with this name: Era, so big and strong. And by the way, it suits our son very well.”
By the way
On September 28, Sergei Polunin will present the ballet “The Master and Margarita” in the State Kremlin Palace. The music was written by Eduard Artemyev. Polunin himself will play the role of the Master. Well, his beloved wife Elena Polunina will become Margarita on stage.
