No one doubts that Russian women are the most beautiful in the world. That’s why no one is surprised by the upcoming romance between a Hollywood celebrity and our beauty. While everyone is discussing Johnny Depp’s romance with a Russian beauty, we are talking about which foreign stars are in love with our women.
Johnny Depp
Yulia Vlasova is dating Johnny Depp. After a scandalous divorce, Depp has a second romance and both times he falls in love with Russian women.

After a scandalous divorce from Amber Heard, actor Johnny Depp began an affair with a 20-year-old dancer from St. Petersburg, Polina Glen. In 2019, Polina even moved into the actor’s luxurious mansion in Los Angeles, where she lived for almost a year. In 2018, Polina accompanied Johnny Depp during his visit to Moscow – she gave a concert with her rock band. Polina Glen graduated from St. Petersburg State Polytechnic University, where she studied electrical engineering, has a certificate of translator from Italian and has been dancing and playing the violin since childhood. After graduating from university, she opened a dance studio, where she taught go-go dancing. The girl moved to the United States in 2016, where she began working as a dancer and thus met Johnny Depp – she danced at one of the parties. The romance lasted two years, but nothing is known about the reason for the separation.
Now 61-year-old Johnny Depp has a new love – she is also from Russia. Johnny Depp met Yulia Vlasova a year after breaking up with Polina – in 2021 at the Karlovy Vary Film Festival, where the girl had previously participated as a model in shows. 28-year-old Yulia Vlasova comes from Yekaterinburg, where she graduated from school and then from university in the Czech Republic, then returned to her homeland and received a higher education here – a diploma from MGIMO. After that she moved to Prague, where she opened her own beauty salon. Naturally, Johnny Depp does not advertise his relationship, but the couple was caught by the paparazzi.
Bradley Cooper
Russian model Irina Shayk, 38, and American actor Bradley Cooper, 49, are raising their 7-year-old daughter Leah together. The girl lives with her mother and spends a lot of time at her father’s house: Irina and Bradley, after parting, maintained friendly relations for the sake of their daughter. Cooper and Shayk dated from 2015 to 2019. They broke up not because of the actor’s infidelity with Lady Gaga, as bloggers imagined, but, as often happens, “because of everyday disagreements” and “different characters.” Shayk herself, in an interview with a fashion magazine, says that such a character played a significant role in the breakup with her daughter’s father: “I definitely know what I want, some men are afraid of it. If someone leaves my life, then he leaves completely, I really break all ties. I think some people are afraid of this coldness. Not many people know that beneath all this there is a kind and sweet person. I think that in every good relationship you get the best and the worst – it’s just human nature. Two strong people cannot make a good couple. We were very lucky to survive what happened between us.” After the breakup, the model had wealthy suitors, the actor had famous and attractive girlfriends, but no one decided on a serious relationship. Western media now often write that Bradley has not lost hope of reuniting with Irina – he is waiting for the right moment to take care of her and make another attempt at living together.
Model Irina Shayk has been working and living in the United States for more than 15 years. The girl’s mother and father help her raise their daughter. Leah studies at an American school, but when the girl was three, Irina enrolled Leah in a Russian language course. Now the boy has taught his father, a Hollywood actor, to sing, read and watch children’s films in Russian. In an interview, Bradley Cooper says that he knows the songs “What They Teach at School”, “Antoshka” and a couple of others by heart. The actor laughs: “Of course I know them by heart. After all, my daughter listens to them from morning to night, so I learned something too. The main thing is that they don’t ask me to translate the text: it won’t be easy.”
Mickey Rourke
Mickey Rourke’s longest affair was with Russian model Anastasia Makarenko.

Mickey Rourke, 71, has been dating only Russian women for the past few decades. In April 2022, Mickey Rourke said in an interview: “I love Russian women. I know those who are not interested in money. I have met very beautiful Russian women with whom I spent just one night and would like to meet again, but I didn’t like their friends. I always had to be taken out of Russia by force!”
Of all the women in the actor’s life, model Anastasia Makarenko was the longest-lasting partner of all – nine years. The couple met at a photo shoot in New York in 2009. Mickey Rourke spoke enthusiastically about the Russian woman he loved: “Anastasia is a very beautiful woman. But she also has a big heart. She has an amazing family, she is very close to her parents, they are wonderful people. Anastasia is a gift from heaven. I wouldn’t trade her for twenty Oscars…” Makarenko echoed the wealthy star: “His parents loved him. He is the most wonderful and handsome man in the world.” But the lovers broke up. Since then, Mickey Rourke has had two affairs and breakups with Russian women – dancer Irina and model Olga. Now the actor is credited with a relationship with Russian model and actress Anna, who lives in the United States.

Actor, director and businessman Steven Seagal received Russian citizenship eight years ago. Now Steven Seagal spends a lot of time at his home near Moscow. Steven Seagal and his 34-year-old son Dominic Seagal run a business in Russia. It was here that Dominic Seagal met the woman he loved and started a family with her: in March 2024 he married Irene Danilova, editor-in-chief of the magazine, founder of a communications agency, as well as a model and prize-winner of the Beauty of Russia 2015 contest. Irene and Dominic met in Moscow at a closed social event, where the man approached Danilova to meet and agree on cooperation (to promote her brand). Business communication gave way to courtship on the part of Seagal, he demonstrated the seriousness of his intentions. A man is actively learning Russian.
Irene Danilova told KP.RU: “We are introducing Dominic to Russian culture. Although, rather, he is joining in on it himself. He is increasingly choosing Russian cuisine and loves borscht and dumplings. We travelled around Russia together: we visited St. Petersburg and Altai. Of course, both places made a great impression on Dominic.”
Jared Leto

American actor and musician Jared Leto, 52, two years ago ended an affair with a Russian model (or rather, she left him) and began dating another. For eight years, Jared Leto built a relationship with Valeria Kaufman – from 2015 to 2022. Valeria was born and studied in Moscow, and when she began to build a career as a model, she was invited to work abroad, where she remained to live and work. After the couple broke up, Western media rushed to write that Jared left Valeria. However, it was Valeria who left Jared Leto because she met the man of her dreams – French billionaire Dmitry Varsano (her grandmother Lydia Nogina is Russian, she explained to her grandson that Russian wives are the best in the world). In May of this year, 30-year-old Valeria Kaufman married her peer, the heir to sugar magnates, and commented on this event as follows: “I prayed for that love.”
When Valeria left Jared Leto two years ago, he started a relationship with another Russian model, also very successful in the profession. This is 27-year-old model Daria Korchina, who works in fashion shows for world-famous brands and appears in advertising. The blue-eyed beauty has a successful career and has been spotted by paparazzi at various resorts with Jared Leto for the past two years. The couple hides their relationship, so rumors about their separation periodically appear. The musician has said more than once: “There is a lot of love in my heart for Russia.” Probably part of this love is for Russian women, who taught him to listen not only to our classics, but also to rock out to “Leningrad.”
