In the fourth episode of the 15th season of the Ukrainian reality show The Bachelor, Anastasia Yuzvak made a surprise appearance. She is a finalist from Season 13 who previously fought for the heart of war veteran Oleksandr Budko, known by his call sign 'Teren'. At the time, she reached the final episode along with Inna Belen, but the main protagonist chose Belen. Now, Yuzvak has appeared on screen once again, but this time as a guest of the new season, whose main protagonist is basketball player Slava Kravtsov.
Charity Match and Star Lineup
In the new episode, The Bachelor invited the contestants to get a closer look at his life and professional career — basketball. To achieve this, a match was organized where the female contestants played against a team of celebrities. The game was held for a charitable cause, raising funds for the needs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The celebrity team featured actress Natalka Denisenko, actors Pavlo Tekuchev and Oleksiy Surovtsev, choreographer Amador Lopez, illusionists Dmytro and Artur Tomashevsky, singer Illia Parfeniuk, and comedian Mark Kutsevalov. Season 13 finalist Anastasia Yuzvak and Season 14 contestant Diana Zotova were also among the announced participants. Kravtsov himself chose the girls for his own team and could make substitutions during the game.
Attention to Kravtsov and Contestants' Reaction
Yuzvak explained that she came to the charity game primarily for Kravtsov, and she did not hide the fact that she had studied information about Slava in advance. According to her, she liked The Bachelor. The other contestants noticed this and began showing jealousy. 'Anastasia, please do not smile at our Bachelor,' Hornyak exclaimed. During the game, the contestants noted that Yuzvak behaved aggressively on the court and, in their opinion, was flirting with the basketball player. 'Nastya behaved very strangely, and I noticed that she wanted some of Slava's attention,' Hornyak said. Yuzvak herself responded to the rivals' indignation with jokes and admitted with a smile: 'We had eye contact.'
Why Yuzvak Will Not Stay on the Show
Despite the heightened attention towards her on air, Yuzvak does not pose a 'threat' to the current contestants: after the charity match, which was won by the team of new season participants, she will not remain on the reality show. Her appearance was a one-time event specifically tied to the charity function rather than a new romantic participation in the show.
Path After Season 13: From Teren to London
As a reminder, Anastasia Yuzvak participated in Season 13 of The Bachelor, starring war veteran Oleksandr 'Teren' Budko. She was one of the two finalists and reached the final episode with Inna Belen. On December 27, 2024, Teren chose Inna and said goodbye to Anastasia. In an interview with Styler, Yuzvak recalled: 'Everything just came together so organically. Topic by topic. In every episode, I opened up so much, even to myself. I didn't expect that. With Sasha too... I wouldn't want to change anything.' After the reality show ended, the girl returned to London, where she had been living to participate in the show, and educated herself at Regent's University London in digital media and communications, marketing, and public relations. She also developed her personal blog and took an interest in psychology, spiritual practices, astrology, and tarot.
Personal Life: Return to Ricardo
Yuzvak's personal life underwent changes after the project. In May 2025, it became known that she resumed her relationship with her ex-boyfriend Ricardo from Brazil: before participating in the show, they dated for about two and a half years, and grew close again after breaking up. Meanwhile, Anastasia has neither seen nor communicated with Oleksandr Teren since the project ended, as she stated in January 2025.
