The youngest son of Ukrainian TV presenter Grigoriy Reshetnik and his wife Khrystyna, five-year-old Oleksandr, is facing a vision issue. During a routine medical check-up, doctors diagnosed the boy with astigmatism and recommended constant wear of corrective glasses — not only at school, but also at home, while watching television, and doing homework. Khrystyna Reshetnik shared this news on her social media, posting footage from the visit to the ophthalmologist.
How Khrystyna shared the diagnosis
The presenter, who previously worked as a television journalist and now actively runs her own social media pages, shared details of the examination in Instagram stories. According to her, doctors detected astigmatism in five-year-old Sasha and wrote a prescription for glasses. Khrystyna showed her son during the doctor's appointment and described the boy's emotional reaction to the diagnosis. "At five years old — astigmatism. Now he will have to wear glasses at school, at home, while watching TV or studying," she wrote in the publication.
Sasha's reaction and mother's support
According to Khrystyna, Sasha burst into tears upon learning about the need to wear glasses and worried about how he would look in the new accessory. The mother tried to calm her son down by sharing that she had experienced a similar situation in her childhood. Khrystyna emphasizes that she strives to help her child perceive glasses as a normal item rather than a cause for anxiety or a feeling of being 'unusual.' The family is currently focused on helping their youngest son adapt to vision correction and strictly follow the specialists' instructions.
Similar experience with the eldest son
Khrystyna also noted that a similar vision problem had previously occurred with their eldest son, Ivan. However, according to her, a year after starting treatment and following the doctors' recommendations, Ivan's condition stabilized. Now the boy wears a contact lens in one eye and continues to be monitored by an ophthalmologist. This experience, as Khrystyna notes, helps the family approach the situation with their youngest son more calmly.
The Reshetnik family: three sons and a busy lifestyle
Grigoriy and Khrystyna Reshetnik are raising three sons. Their firstborn Ivan was born in April 2013, middle son Dmytro in June 2017, and the youngest, Oleksandr, was born on November 28, 2020. All three study at the Novopechersk School in Kyiv. In the autumn of 2026, five-year-old Sasha started the first grade. The older brothers already have their own hobbies: Ivan is interested in computer technology, and Dmytro plays football.
Grigoriy Reshetnik and family values
Grigoriy Reshetnik has hosted the popular romantic show "The Bachelor" on Ukrainian television for many years. His relationship with Khrystyna began in 2008 when he noticed her at work and invited her on a date through a mutual acquaintance. The couple spent their first date playing bowling. The wedding took place on October 10, 2010, in Ivano-Frankivsk, the bride's hometown, and gathered about 150 guests. Despite his busy work schedule, Grigoriy actively participates in raising the children: he spends time with his sons, helps with studies, and is involved in daily family affairs. Khrystyna, in turn, coordinates the children's schedules, monitors homework and extracurricular activities. The couple previously did not hide the fact that they considered adoption, but postponed the matter until the end of the war.
