Among the reasons cited were domestic disagreements and personality clashes.
Fans of 44-year-old Irina Dubtsova have a new topic for discussion. During the filming of the latest episode of the show "Five Against One" (12+), the singer appeared noticeably younger: the artist showcased a slim figure and looked as if she had dedicated the last few months not so much to work as to taking care of herself.
However, the impressive changes in her appearance did not start yesterday. A few months ago, the performer openly spoke about her struggle with excess weight, which arose after a serious hormonal imbalance and an autoimmune disease triggered by severe stress.
According to the artist, the main step towards transformation was not exhausting fasting or trendy procedures, but proper treatment. Dubtsova has repeatedly denied rumors about plastic surgeries and extreme diets, explaining that she first had to resolve her health issues.
As the singer told journalists, the turning point came after consulting a specialist.
"A wonderful endocrinologist treated my thyroid, which I had struggled with for many years, and my weight normalized," she shared.
After stabilizing her health, the artist also reconsidered her lifestyle. Now she follows fractional eating and divides her diet into five small meals throughout the day. Her menu has almost no sugar, fried foods, bread, pasta, or potatoes. However, the singer does not deprive herself of gastronomic pleasures entirely — about once every ten days, she allows herself a controlled indulgence in her diet.
The star also has her own method for combating swelling. If her weight starts to increase, she completely refrains from salt for a few days. Additionally, Dubtsova carefully monitors her water balance and drinks at least two liters of pure water daily.
Regular physical activity also helps maintain her results. The artist works with a personal trainer, and one of her favorite pastimes remains playing tennis. The singer humorously explained her transformation as a combination of several factors — "love, hormones, and tennis."
Interestingly, the performer has no prejudice against popular weight loss medications, but she is convinced that such methods should only be used under medical supervision. From her own experience, she has realized that quick solutions do not always work as advertised.
Earlier, in her Telegram channel, Dubtsova candidly shared with her followers the consequences of numerous medical procedures and examinations. At that time, the singer emotionally admitted:
"My arm hurts, my back hurts, a bunch of injections and vitamins, my butt hurts, it's annoying. One doctor says to do one thing, another says to do another. That's it, I complained, it will get easier now. Take care of yourselves!"
Against the backdrop of noticeable changes in her appearance, fans continue to discuss the artist's personal life. Recently, it became known that Irina Dubtsova's relationship with entrepreneur Ivan Petrenko has come to an end, although just a few months ago, they were heading towards marriage.
The singer's romance with the owner of a decorative cosmetics brand began in the summer of 2025. In the fall of the same year, the couple made their first public appearance together at the "Golden Gramophone" award ceremony. Over time, their relationship became so serious that the couple began living together. Dubtsova also managed to find common ground with Petrenko's two children from his first marriage.
At the beginning of 2026, the artist did not hide that she was considering formalizing their relationship. Moreover, in an interview, she reflected on the future of the family and even entertained the possibility of having a child together. However, these plans were not meant to come to fruition.
According to sources close to the singer, Dubtsova was the one who initiated the breakup. It was reported that after the split, Petrenko moved out of the artist's home. Among the reasons cited were domestic disagreements and personality clashes.
Internet users began to speculate about the reasons for the breakup, and many concluded that the issues might not only be personal disagreements. Some commentators suggested that the artist was no longer satisfied with the financial situation in the relationship.
"She got tired of being the sponsor"; "She did the right thing by kicking him out"; "Did she not realize from the start that having a freeloader on her neck was not a good idea?"; "Who would want to feed and support someone without even getting a proposal?" — users ponder online.
The former lovers have not yet commented on the reasons for their breakup.
After the end of the relationship, the singer shifted her focus to work and setting up her new country house. To purchase furniture and interior items, she even organized a large shopping trip to China. Now, it seems that the main priorities for the star remain creativity, new projects, and her own comfort.
