Olga Yurevna Lysova - Roman Abramovich’s Ex-Wife and Baby Mother
Olga Yurevna Lysova is a Russian woman who is better known as the first ex-wife of the Israeli-Russian business tycoon and the owner of Chelsea F.C. Roman Abramovich.
Olga first met Roman back in 1987 at a restaurant in Ukhta, Russia shortly after which they started dating each other. They started living together and married soon after a live-in relationship.
Marriage with Roman Didn't Last Longer
Olga Yurevna Lysova's marriage with Roman Abramovich didn't last longer they were married for only three years which is the least of all the three marriages the billionaire has had. Besides that, he was married to Irina Malandina for 16 years and for nearly 10 years to Dasha Zhukova.
So, that pretty much tells the story that Lysova couldn't take care of her marriage well. They married back in 1987 and separated in 1990 after which they parted their own ways.
Olga Had a Daughter Before Marrying Roman
Before marrying the billionaire oil magnate, Lysova already was a mother of a 2-year-old daughter whose name was Nasty. She gave birth to the child from a previous affair that she had with another man.
The fact that she already had a baby with another person played a major role in their marriage because Roman's family was against the marriage due to it. The couple, however, married each other.
Helping Roman in His Success
Believe it or not, Olga Yurevna Lysova helped her former husband in achieving his at least half of the fortune that he has made today.
Olga stayed by Roman's side when he was just starting his earning career. She and her then-hubby started a business of plastic toys and automobile parts cooperative which proved to be a great success showering him with a lot of money.
Yurevna also says that the business brought Abramovich success immediately. In the early 1990s, he was involved in the oil business for which he is mostly known today. Therefore, we can say that she has helped a lot in achieving the success of Roman.
Roman's Only Wife With No Kids
Olga is the only wife that Roman didn't have any kids with despite being married for three years. Otherwise, Abramovich has a total of seven children from his other two wives; five with Irina Malandina and two with Dasha Zhukova.
The 57-year-old businessman's children include four daughters: Anna Abramovich, Sofia Abramovich, Arina Abramovich, and Leah Lou Abramovich, and three sons: Arkadiy Abramovich, Ilya Abramovich, and Aaron Alexander Abramovich.
Married to Stefan Stefanovich
Shortly after separating from Roman, Olga Yurevna Lysova married a fellow pianist Stefan Stefanovich as a rebound. Since then, there haven't been any rumors of her divorcing him or dating another man which probably means that she is still married to him.
