Question of the day: Who is Natalia’s new man?


Following months of rumors of marital problems, the Russian supermodel and the British billionaire have just confirmed the break-up. After nine years of marriage, Natalia Vodianova has split from her husband Justin Portman.

Natalia and Portman married in November 2001 and have three children together: son Lucas Alexander, 11, daughter Neva, 6, and son Viktor, 5. The couple had houses all over the world, including a lavish home in London, a 3,000 acre Herefordshire estate, a 14th century mill house in West Sussex, a home in New York and last but not least a retreat in Uruguay.

The 29-year-old beauty told ES magazine: ‘It’s really sad. It has been a while. We didn’t want to talk about it. We still don’t. Our children are very much aware of it. It’s OK.

‘We’re still in a very sensitive position right now, and trying to do things as amicably as possible, so I wouldn’t want to talk about it at all.

‘I don’t think I ever will want to because it’s strictly between my husband and me.’

When she was asked during the interview if she was now in love with a new man, Vodianova admitted; ‘Yes definitely.’, but she declined to name her latest beau.

There are some rumors for potential candidates who Natalia maybe started to date. One of the possible guys is troubled actor Jonathan Rhys-Meyers, her co-star in recently filmed movie Belle du Seigneru, with whom she was linked in recent months.

There were also suppositions that she had become close to former war photographer Scott Douglas, who split with artist Tracey Emin last autumn after a 7-year relationship.

Furthermore Russian websites stated that Natalia had become close to a Russian TV director Andrey Boltenko.

Most recently she was also linked to financier Alexander Peshko.

Whoever of these potential candidates is the new man in Natalia’s life, we will find it out sooner or later.
