Ukrainian model and singer Dasha Astafieva, in an interview with the program "Poradnytsia" (a Styler / RBC-Ukraine project), recalled a painful experience from past relationships when her former partner had an affair with a woman from her inner circle. The artist detailed how she stumbled upon intimate correspondence and shared how her attitude toward checking a partner's devices has changed over time. According to her, premonitions of infidelity in previous relationships were often confirmed, and she herself used to consider "hacking" someone else's phone a perfectly normal step.
One iPad for two and messages that "cross the line"
Astafieva said that in one of her relationships, the couple used a shared tablet. Access to the device allowed her to accidentally open other people's messages. "We had one iPad for two, and I once logged in. And there was just correspondence with my acquaintance. Such warm, tender words that cross the line," Styler quotes the singer. By her admission, in those relationships, she often suspected her partner of infidelity, and these premonitions were later confirmed: "I had relationships where I found evidence of infidelity. God, I was so 'obsessive.' And then it would all be confirmed some time later. Damn, it's unpleasant," the artist recalled.
From "I was young and snooped" to understanding personal boundaries
During the conversation, Astafieva spoke about whether it is acceptable to snoop through a loved one's phone. She admitted that in the past, she had done exactly that and considered it the norm: "I was little, I snooped. Before. Well, and I thought it was the norm." However, her position changed over time. Now the singer considers checking someone else's gadgets an act of disrespect and emphasizes that the attitude toward personal boundaries depends directly on the level of trust between partners. "But the moment you snoop, you will always find something. Now I understand that I have a completely different level of relationship and respect," she explained.
Six-year union with Artem Kim and a romance with Misha Krupin
In Astafieva's public biography, the most well-known relationship was with businessman Artem Kim, which lasted six years. The couple even planned a wedding, but in 2021 they decided to break up. Later, the singer began a romance with musician Misha Krupin, but according to both artists, they failed to build a lasting relationship. In interviews, Astafieva has repeatedly noted that her previous romances were difficult, and it was this experience that shaped her current understanding that trust and respect for a partner's personal boundaries are most important in a relationship.
Current relationship and the new UnderBooks project
Today, according to Styler, Astafieva is happy with a man she does not show to the public. The couple met by chance in the gym and then launched the book app UnderBooks together. The singer does not hide that it was her partner who helped her believe in her own strength and realize her long-standing dream of having her own publishing project. Her recent recognition also deserves special attention: Dasha Astafieva received the Order of Princess Olga from the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy in appreciation for her volunteer work and support for the army.
Context: the artist's public position
The interview in which these confessions were made was released against the backdrop of Astafieva's active public position. Recently, she sharply criticized her colleagues in show business, accusing them of indifference to the situation in the country, and also responded to a wave of hate related to her participation in the National Unity Radio Dictation and her past Playboy photo shoots. In each of these episodes, the singer demonstrated a consistent position: to use media influence for the benefit of the country and not to be afraid to talk openly about personal experiences that help her and her audience reflect on issues of trust, respect, and personal boundaries in relationships.
