Alex Ovechkin’s wife Nastasiya stuns in shimmery sequin gown at a wedding in Marbella, Spain, joined by her father Kirill

Alex Ovechkin’s wife, Nastasiya Ovechkina, traveled to Marbella, Spain, to attend a wedding during the weekend. She was accompanied by her father, Russian film director and producer Kirill Shubsky.

Nastya shared photos and a video clip from the event on her Instagram on Saturday. The first story was a short clip of her alongside her dad. She captioned the story in Russian, which translates to:

“Flew to the wedding of our dear @christina_levi♥️”

The next story was a full-length click of Nastasiya with Kirill. She wore a golden shimmery sequin gown, while her father sported a black suit with a white shirt and black tie. The wedding took place outdoors with elegant decorations and greenery visible in the background.

Nastasiya is a Russian model and the daughter of actress Vera Glagoleva and film director Kirill Shubskaya. Alex Ovechkin and Nastasiya originally met at the 2008 Beijing Olympics. They reconnected in 2015 through social media and announced their engagement in September of the same year.

The couple married in a private ceremony in Moscow on August 11, 2016. They have two sons, Sergei Aleksandrovich, born in August 2018, and Ilya Aleksandrovich, born in May 2020.

Alex Ovechkin’s wife addresses his ‘last season’ in Washington

Last month, confusion arose when an email from the Washington Capitals suggested that the upcoming season would be Ovechkin’s last in the NHL. The team later clarified that the email was not an official announcement.

Earlier last month, Alex Ovechkin’s wife, Nastasiya, attended the premiere of Buratino and the Golden Key in Moscow. The show was created by singer Jasmine, composer Alexei Rybnikov, and the charity foundation “Family Help.”

There, in a new interview with aif.ru, Nastasiya confirmed that Alex Ovechkin will finish his current contract with the Capitals.

“We will play the next season, and then fly back to live in Moscow, to our homeland. We will stay in Russia, yes,” she said.

Nastasiya also talked about the pressure Ovechkin faced before breaking Wayne Gretzky’s all-time NHL goal record.

“To be honest, I wanted him to score that goal sooner,” Nastasiya said. “...He has his last season next year. And I want him to simply enjoy what he loves, to simply enjoy this last season.”

She then shared that the family had traveled from the U.S. to Russia after nine months away. She also mentioned how much they missed Russia and their loved ones.
