Artjoms Gluzunovs says singer Elīna Gluzunova initiated their divorce

Artjoms Gluzunovs, the husband of Latvian singer Elīna Gluzunova, spoke about the couple's separation in the programme “Aizkulisēs ar 1188.lv”. He said Elīna was the one who initiated the divorce. After 12 years together, the couple, who have three children, married last year, but this summer it became known that they had decided to go their separate ways. A new man has since appeared in Elīna's life.

Marriage not yet dissolved

Artjoms noted that the marriage has not been officially ended. He said he does not want Elīna to keep his surname after the divorce, but he does not know how the two will settle the issue. According to him, Elīna intends to seek the divorce in court. He described what she wrote as very harsh reading, saying it portrays him as “a beast, not a human”. Artjoms hopes the court will resolve the matter in a normal way.

He said, however, that the two are not “at daggers drawn”; he has simply become more indifferent to what happens in Elīna's life. Artjoms spoke harshly about Elīna's new partner. He also noted that Elīna has not said a bad word about him, but has not said anything good either.

Finances and children

Asked whether one of the reasons for the split was Elīna's dissatisfaction with finances, Artjoms answered yes. By his account, she is unhappy with what he currently does for a living, though he himself likes his work.

Immediately after the separation it was hard for him because he missed the children, but later he came to terms with the situation. On time with the children, Artjoms said most of the demands come from Elīna's side. He cannot always free himself at the exact moment she wants. He picks the children up when he can physically come for them and later bring them back. In the interview he also said he is in his best physical shape in the past 16 years.
