Aiza-Liluna Ai and her ex-husband Guf have appeared on several reality shows. The rapper«s first wife was particularly favored by the judges and even won one of them. Now it»s the turn of their eldest son, Sam Dolmatov, to test his strength. The boy is only 16, but according to his parents, he is already experienced and has gone through a school of life that many would never imagine.

The marriage of Aiza and Guf lasted six years.

Sam was born in 2010, two years after Guf and Aiza married. From the outside, they seemed like a family full of understanding. The rapper was not shy about shouting his feelings to the world, mostly through his songs. When his son grew up, he dedicated the song «Novenkiy» («New Kid») to him, admitting he wanted to be the best dad.

— I«m absolutely delighted with this child. And unlike many, I never changed diapers. I remember growing up without a father. I want this kid to take everything from life, — the rapper repeated time and again.

After the couple split in 2014, Aiza revealed details of her relationship with her ex-husband. She claimed the rapper did not want a child, showed no interest in parenting, and after the divorce could completely forget he had a son.

— To hell with my nobility. Alyosha never wanted Sam. Even when he was born. Yes, I no longer call and beg him to communicate with the child, leaving it to their will. And what happened? Lyokha called Sam from vacation and started telling him that I forbid them to communicate. Sam didn«t even argue with his drunk father, — Aiza said emotionally.

The blogger feared that public altercations and her father«s terrible addictions would break Sam, but the opposite happened. The boy matured early and began striving for a better life and independence.

— He thinks we«re freaks. He doesn»t listen to Guf, rap, or any music at all. Sam is an old man. He«s very mature, beyond his years. Unfortunately, because of his not-quite-healthy parents, he had to grow up, — Aiza admitted.

For a long time, Sam stayed away from his father«s fame and excessive attention, but it still found him. In 2023, the boy added his father to a blacklist on social media, hoping he would give up bad habits to reconnect. Learning about this, Guf publicly addressed his ex-wife and asked her to influence their son. Sam, who initially wanted to resolve everything within the family, gave a public response.

— I«m sorry you all know about this situation. I»m not blind or stupid; I blocked my dad myself. I«ll talk to him only when he»s sober. He calls only when he feels bad or needs something. If he wanted to contact me, he would have found thousands of other ways. I«m protecting my psyche and my mom»s. Let«s close this topic, — Sam said then.

After some time, father and son finally managed to talk, and now Sam hopes to become closer to his father and make up for lost time.

Dolmatov tries to support his mother in everything and be her pillar. He has accepted her new partner, Stepan Kuzmenko. Together they live in Bali, where the boy surfs and attends school. Sam especially likes math and physics, but is indifferent to humanities and creative subjects.

Despite their difficult relationship, both Aiza and Guf congratulate Sam every year on his birthday and never tire of saying they are proud of all his achievements.

— Samik, I«m truly sorry that we and your dad couldn»t be the model parents every child needs right away, so you became a wise old man with us, understanding what family you ended up in, — Aiza addressed her son in one of her posts.

The show «Survivors. Heirs» (16+) will be Sam«s TV debut. According to Aiza, she did not insist that her son try his hand at the project; it was his decision.

— They called me with an offer. We initially refused, but then Sam agreed. Most likely because of friends who supported him. Sam is a machine. I trust him a lot — much more than myself, — Aiza admitted after announcing Sam«s participation in the show.
