Nadezhda Ermakova, a star of the reality show Dom-2 (16+), has officially divorced her husband Daniel Chistov, who is 15 years younger than her. The divorce process, which dragged on for almost a year after their actual separation, was finalized at the registry office. The marriage, which the couple entered into in 2022, lasted three years.

At the time of the wedding, Ermakova was 38 years old, and her chosen one was just 23. Nadezhda was very worried about the age difference and even underwent plastic surgery to look the same age as her husband. However, over time, the gap in interests and life experience took its toll.

Shortly after the wedding, Daniel was diagnosed with a serious eye disease. The young man went to his parents in Kazan (Russia) for treatment, while Nadezhda stayed to work in Moscow. Living in two cities and constant commuting finally alienated the spouses from each other.

In addition, Nadezhda had always desperately dreamed of children and underwent complex medical treatment, but she never managed to get pregnant in the marriage, which severely affected her psychological state.

— I cried, broke down, but continued to look for a surgeon who would take on my case while preserving the reproductive organs. And in my ears rang: «What do you expect with such a diagnosis?» My brain refused to accept it; I wanted to believe it could be different, — Ermakova said.

Ermakova admitted that the collapse of her family turned into a personal hell for her. Due to deep stress and panic attacks, the TV star was forced to seek help from a psychiatrist.

— When I was divorcing my husband, I had a hard time with the breakup, fell into a terrible depression, even went to a psychiatrist because I realized I couldn«t cope on my own. As a result, I gained 12 kilograms (26 pounds), — Ermakova candidly shares. — It was just Groundhog Day: my friends tried to pull me out, take me to events, but I just sat at home, bought junk food, lay down in front of the TV, and watched Turkish TV series.

Now the divorce process has officially ended. The 42-year-old Nadezhda picked up the divorce certificate from the registry office and stated that she finally feels happy and ready to move on. Now she faces a long paper trail: on her wedding day, Ermakova took her husband«s surname (Chistova), and now she is reverting to her maiden name.

— Well, that«s it, officially divorced! Ahead is a long change of documents and a long-awaited vacation with my mom, which will definitely clear my head. I just need to get through this day, — Nadezhda says.

As for Daniel Chistov, he has recently been spotted in the company of new young women.
