Vasyl Virastyuk welcomes his fifth child

Vasyl Virastyuk has become a father for the fifth time. He announced the news to his followers on Instagram. His wife, Irina, who is 11 years his junior, gave birth to a son.

The boy was named Yaroslav, but in the family he is called by the shortened name, Yarek. Virastyuk happily shared the news of his son's birth, specifying that the baby was born on 6 January 2025 at 15:55. He measured 58 cm in length and weighed 3,850 grams. All family members, including the newborn, are doing well.

Although the athlete has not yet shown the baby's face, his silhouette can be seen in the background of the photo.

This is Virastyuk's fifth son. He has had several women in his life with whom he shared significant moments. He was married to his first wife, Svitlana, from 2003 to 2006. Their relationship ended tragically: Svitlana died in an avalanche at a ski resort in Turkey. 

After this, the athlete married Inna, with whom he lived for 15 years, and they had two sons — Oleg and Sasha. However, their union collapsed when Inna left for Prague with the children at the beginning of the full-scale war.

Irina and Vasyl began dating while the athlete was still married to Inna. They met by chance at a family dinner, and the couple eventually decided to start a family. 

Virastyuk himself believes that his new romance was a kind of response to Inna's decision to leave the country with the children in the midst of the war.
