Alexandra Trusova, the 20-year-old figure skating star, recently confirmed her pregnancy, but her latest video has sparked criticism online.
In the clip, Trusova shared that she traveled to Dubai with her husband, Makhar Ignatov, to attend a boxing masterclass. She appeared in a tight-fitting Diesel dress and showcased her new blonde hair.
Fans quickly reacted to her outfit choice, pointing out that she previously preferred looser clothing. Some comments included: “She finally got to wear tight dresses!”, “Even her belly button is visible!”, and “Dream come true to wear bodycon?”. Others also raised concerns about her frequent travel during pregnancy, questioning whether it was safe: “Is it okay for pregnant women to fly so often?” and “Why can’t she just stay home?”.
Rumors about Trusova’s pregnancy had been circulating for a while, as many noticed changes in her figure. She initially tried to keep it private, but on March 22, during the Russian Challenge tournament, she confirmed the news by revealing her baby bump at the end of her performance with Ignatov. Later, the couple also shared an ultrasound photo in a video together.
Known as the “Russian Rocket”, Trusova married Makhar Ignatov, a Russian Championship silver medalist, last summer. Before that, she was in a relationship with figure skater Mark Kondratiuk. Despite being married, she never officially announced retirement, but after the pregnancy rumors, her former coach Tatiana Tarasova stated that she is unlikely to return to professional skating.
