Well-known Ukrainian musician and conductor of the popular Homin Choir, Vadym Yatsenko, and his wife Anastasia are expecting their second child together. The couple revealed the joyful news through social media by publishing touching joint photos where the expectant mother's rounded belly is clearly visible. The news has sparked a warm response from fans of the choir, who are actively congratulating the couple in the comments.
Love Story and Creative Partnership
Vadym Yatsenko and Anastasia Ryaboshapka have known each other since their school days, having started their acquaintance in the eighth grade. Later, both successfully entered the conservatory's conducting and choral department, which ultimately united their life and musical paths. At the age of twenty, the musician proposed to his beloved, for which he had to borrow money from friends for the coveted ring and a celebratory cafe date. The couple officially registered their marriage on August 26, 2015, and celebrated their tenth wedding anniversary in August 2025.
Family, Music, and the Trials of War
Today, music continues to occupy a central place in the Yatsenko family's life. Anastasia is a professional singer who performs in various large-scale projects, including The Rock Symphony Orchestra, and also participates in the Homin Choir concerts directed by her husband. The couple is already raising their son Maksym, born in October 2018, who celebrated his eighth birthday in October 2026. A special trial for the family was the full-scale invasion: Anastasia is originally from Mariupol, and her relatives experienced occupation in the first weeks of the war before the singer's grandmother was successfully evacuated to Lviv, where she now helps the young parents.
Path to Popularity and New Horizons
Vadym Yatsenko gained widespread popularity thanks to the viral performance of Stepan Giga's legendary song "Tsey son" by the Homin Choir on social media. However, the musician's creative journey began long before this triumph: notably, he tested his skills on the vocal television show "Holos Krayiny". In addition to leading the viral choir, Vadym is actively involved in other cultural initiatives, including working with the Veryovka Choir, where he systematically resolves accumulated management tasks.
