Dmytro Babchuk, a serviceman and the fiancé of famous Ukrainian TV host Lesya Nikityuk, underwent surgery on his leg. This became known from his personal Instagram account, where he published photos from the hospital room. In the photos, Dmytro is smiling, despite his leg being in a cast. He did not reveal the reason for the surgery, but made it clear that he does not intend to stay in rehabilitation for long.
'Keep working, brothers': plans to return to duty
In the caption to the post, Babchuk wrote a concise message: 'Surgery done, leg fixed, back to duty soon. Keep working, brothers.' These words testify to his desire to return to fulfilling his military duties as soon as possible. Despite the serious intervention, the soldier's fighting spirit has not been undermined, and he continues to support his comrades even from his hospital bed.
Lesya Nikityuk's reaction: humor and support
Lesya Nikityuk reacted promptly to the news about her loved one's condition. The host posted a story on her Instagram, where she supported Dmytro and added a bit of humor to the situation. She showed funny shoes that, in her opinion, would now suit him perfectly during the rehabilitation period. This approach demonstrates the strong relationship of the couple and the ability to find positivity even in difficult situations.
Love story: from proposal to the birth of a son
The couple did not reveal details of their personal life for a long time, but in January 2025, Dmytro proposed to Lesya in the Carpathians, which they announced on social media. Despite the fact that the groom is eight years younger than the bride, this moment did not become an obstacle for them. Earlier, Nikityuk said that such dynamics are familiar to their families, where women are sometimes slightly older than their partners.
Family values and future plans
In June 2025, the lovers had a son, Oscar, and in the autumn they baptized him in the St. Michael's Golden-Domed Monastery. Lesya's pregnancy remained a secret until the very end — the host skillfully hid the changes in her figure behind voluminous clothes and only the day before the birth confirmed that she was expecting a child. In May of this year, Lesya admitted what she imagines the future wedding to be: she would like to celebrate the important event among relatives and friends, and she sees Verka Serduchka as a special musical guest at the celebration.
