Aiza and oilman Kuzmenko’s love story
The story follows how Aiza and Stepan develop their relationship and projects.
For a year and a half now, well-known blogger and former wife of rapper Guf Aiza-Liluna Ai has been glowing with happiness in a relationship with her new partner, Stepan Kuzmenko, who is 10 years younger. The beauty has a string of widely discussed romances with celebrities behind her — Guf and Oleg Miami once fell under her spell. But Aiza’s new companion was far from the limelight: Stepan worked at an oil and gas production enterprise in Nizhnevartovsk (Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug, Russia). Recently, the couple drew attention by taking part in a popular reality show. Here is how a star blogger and a Siberian oil worker built a relationship.
A string of romantic setbacks
The broader public knows Aiza in part thanks to her loud, passionate, public romances. But it is hard to call her personal life happy.

Aiza and Aleksei Dolmatov, better known by the stage name Guf, are still considered the most beautiful couple in the Russian rap scene. They met back in 2005 at a nightclub. Later they crossed paths by chance at social events and at a ski resort. A year later they started dating. It was to Aiza that the rapper dedicated one of his main hits — Ice Baby — where he swore he would love her even in heaven. In 2008 Aiza and Guf married, and in 2010 they became parents to a boy, Semy.
But Guf did not turn out to be a good husband. After five years, the marriage fell apart because of the artist’s infidelity and dependence on illegal substances. In the years that followed, fans watched the former spouses get back together and split up again, and sort things out with each other on social media. Now, for the sake of their child, Aiza and Guf try to keep the peace — though it does not always work.

After divorcing Guf, in search of peace of mind Aiza went to Bali (Indonesia), where she met her future second husband — businessman and surfer Dmitry Anokhin. In 2015 they had a lavish wedding in Las Vegas, and a year later the couple had a son named Elvis. Five years on, the star’s marriage again began to crack — reportedly once more because of the man’s unfaithfulness. The divorce was difficult: the former lovers had to divide a joint business — a beauty salon.
Aiza’s next chosen one was again an artist — Oleg Miami, six years her junior. Talk of their romance started back in 2019.

«I was already living alone, without a man. And I was preparing for a divorce. On August 31 I get up in the morning and say aloud: “That’s it! I’m done with men! Being on my own is cool!” And right then a message from him arrives: “Shall we go to the movies tomorrow?” and I agree,» the blogger shared.
During the romance, revelations rained down on fans again and again. Aiza talked about having sex in a car on the first date (they never made it to the movies), about the impressive size of Miami’s manhood, about fights and reconciliations. True to the tradition that began back in the Guf era, Aiza often sorted out her relationship with Oleg in public on social media — tantrums gave way to tender declarations of love, and back again. In March 2021, the star couple split for good.
Who is Stepan Kuzmenko?
Aiza hints at a new partner before revealing Stepan’s identity to followers.
By the summer of 2024 it had become clear that Aiza had a new partner. The blogger did not rush to reveal his identity, posting only photos where the man could be seen from afar or partially. Fans even suggested the star had started dating Viktoria Bonya’s ex, but Aiza quickly denied the rumors. She also laughed off talk that her chosen one was supposedly a neural-networks blogger.
Soon afterward, in September, she spoke about her new young man — oil worker Stepa, who is 10 years her junior.
«I actually had a plan: once in Bali, to start something with a foreigner who knows nothing about me. But no… I fell in love with Stepan from Chelyabinsk (Russia), who lives in Nizhnevartovsk (Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug, Russia) <…> I’m such a patriot,» Aiza says.

As journalists found, Stepan Kuzmenko was indeed born and raised in Chelyabinsk, graduated from the Urals Socio‑Economic Institute, and moved to Nizhnevartovsk. There he worked at the company Slavneft‑Megiongaz (Slavneft‑Megiongaz, JSC), where his last position is listed as deputy head of the oil center. But you can’t call Stepan a simple blue-collar worker. His father is Dmitry Kuzmenko, Chief Federal Inspector of Tyumen Oblast, and his sister Maria is married to the mayor of Khanty‑Mansiysk (Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug, Russia), Maxim Ryashin.
Judging by his social media, the young man often vacations abroad, loves expensive cars, and is into Pilates, meditation, and other breathing practices.
Friendship, love, business
Friends introduce them in Moscow, with a second meeting later happening on Bali.
In an interview with the YouTube channel «Alena, blin!» (mild exclamation), Aiza said she had been alone for four years before meeting Stepan. She went on dates, but none of the suitors could catch her interest.
«At some point I think: “Why do I even need this? I’m fine with my cats.” I started to enjoy being on my own,» the beauty shared.
According to Aiza, as a true woman she still wanted love. But she was too lazy to look for it.
«The girls kept inviting me somewhere, saying: “Come on, meet at least someone!” And I always answered: “No. My man will come to my home himself.” They laughed, like I was totally cuckoo,» she recalled.
Soon Aiza came to Moscow. She and a friend stayed overnight at the blogger’s parents’ place. A friend’s acquaintance came by to help with a suitcase. His name was Stepan.
«He came up to my place, we had tea together, chatted, and became friends. Then he had a vacation, and he flew to Bali, where I live. It just so happened — we had only seen each other once before, that time at my mom’s house.»
Daily moments capture shared routines, gifts, and breakfasts that strengthened their early bond.
The first meeting with Stepan was just friendly; there was no romantic spark — Aiza’s head was full of other things.
When Stepan flew to Bali for a vacation, he ended up with Aiza in the same circle of friends. That’s how the two of them became friends: they went to the beach together, walked with the kids, and played Mafia, the party game.
«I started to take a closer look at him. He’s a good person, caring toward everyone, helpful. He’s 30, he’s young, but he always takes everything into his own hands. So it all started with friendship, and then gradually the attraction grew. And now Semy (Aiza’s son by rapper Guf) tells me: “Mom, if you let this good man slip away, I won’t talk to you at all.” This is Semy, who can’t stand anyone next to me.»
Stepan spends time with Aiza’s sons, Semy and Elvis, on family outings.
The couple’s relationship is developing romantically. Aiza regularly shows on social media the gifts from her beloved and the breakfasts he brings her in bed. «Flower shops love my man,» she captioned another photo of a stunning bouquet.
After four months together, they got matching tattoos. The number 222 now adorns them — fans can only guess at its meaning. In addition, just above her elbow Aiza added the inscription “good girl”, and Stepan got a matching “good boy”.

Aiza adds “good girl” lettering, while Stepan mirrors it with “good boy” ink.
Their joint venture, Liluna Group, focuses on facilitating real estate purchases on Bali.
Despite the bitter experience with Dmitry Anokhin, Aiza decided to try a joint business with a partner again. Stepan helped her open the Bali home‑buying agency Liluna Group and organized the entire workflow. Aiza said the shared venture only strengthened their relationship.
«Everything in his head is so structured. He’s very disciplined: up at 6 a.m. — a run, a workout, proper nutrition, a ton of work. I’m different, so he oversees the entire business process. He’s smart, has two university degrees,» Aiza says.
How is the couple’s life now?
The reality competition tests couples with challenges designed to examine teamwork and trust.
In August this year, Aiza and Stepan first appeared together on TV — in the couples’ reality show «Stavka na lyubov’» (“Bet on Love”) on the TV channel «Pyatnitsa» (“Friday!”). The lovers had to go through extreme challenges together and put their relationship to the test.
«I can’t stand extreme sports. And if I had known what would be there, I would never have agreed. Plus I absolutely didn’t want to show our relationship with Stepa. But! I’m so glad we accepted the invitation,» Aiza said.
The couple stoically passed every challenge. Under the terms of one of them, Stepan even got a tattoo of Aiza’s name on his arm. However, after quarreling with other participants, the couple left the project.

According to Aiza, Stepan is not bothered by her scandal‑tinged past. They are united by life plans, and a shared view of family and business.
«What did such a smart, promising, beautiful person — inside and out — see in me, a single mother with two children, two ex‑husbands, and a not‑so‑great reputation?» Aiza jokes in answer to host Alena’s question. «We have the same goals; we want a family and lots of children.»
Plans include moving into a newly built shared home while maintaining personal boundaries.
Recently Aiza said that despite a year and a half together, she and Stepan still do not live together. Each is in their own house, but the homes are next door.
«I learned from past mistakes, so I’m no longer in a rush. But very soon we’ll move into a shared house we recently built and live together. I’m nervous! I’m not used to living with someone. But Stepa and I are similar in vibe. He also likes spending time alone, so we’ll respect each other’s boundaries,» the star shared her plans.
Recently we reported that a blogger from Yugra (Khanty‑Mansi Autonomous Okrug) was subjected to harsh bullying on a reality show. After the latest episode, Zhenya Krivtsova continued to hash things out with her offender on social media.
