The material said that Elka married a 36-year-old Russian musician from Odessa, Rozhden Anusi. But before marrying a Ukrainian, she received a Russian passport.
Previously, the singer had problems with business in the aggressor country of the Russian Federation, since her Ukrainian passport had expired, and Russia’s war against Ukraine prevented her from getting a new one. As a result, her company was closed due to invalid documents.
The singer's representative declined to comment, the Mash channel noted.

Elka's real name is Elizaveta Ivantsiv. She was born on July 2, 1982 in Uzhgorod. The performer began her musical career as a member of the Uzhgorod group B&B. In 2004, she signed a contract with Vlad Valov and released her debut album, City of Deception.
From 2010 to 2012, Elka was a judge on the Ukrainian show “X-Factor” on the STB channel.
The singer said in 2017 that she considers Moscow her home. She did not comment on the Russian aggression against Ukraine, but on April 30, 2022, she performed in one of the clubs in Sochi.
The Insider noted that Elka first spoke about the war in October 2025. She said that she wants “those who manage all this to have the wisdom to make sure that it doesn’t hurt,” emphasizing that she has “my mom and so many friends” living in Ukraine.
