Chelsea fans, it’s time to rejoice. Mykhaylo Mudryk seems to have found his love again after months of posting content giving off lonely vibes.
In a deleted Instagram story, viewers saw Mudryk resting his right leg over a woman’s body. The female figure, dressed in a nightgown, balanced a cup of tea on her right hand, which was sitting on Mudryk’s knee. The couple were watching the penalty shootout in the Euro 24 game between Portugal and France. While the face was not visible, her nails were. And that was enough of a lead for social media detectives.
One user speculated it was Violetta Gracheva, a Russian model and influencer. Gracheva boasts almost 800k followers on her IG account by the name of Violetta Bert, where she maintains an active presence.
Gracheva lets her followers have a sneak peek at her life, which mostly revolves around working out in a gym, sharing exotic views of her travel destinations and a lot of pictures of her well-toned body. She calls Dubai her home and most of her updates are from there.
The blonde beauty from Rostov is six years older than the Chelsea winger and the rumour of them dating started at the back end of last year when they followed each other on social media.
Before being linked to Mudryk, Gracheva reportedly dated former Norwich midfielder, Matias Norman. She was reportedly seen attending games at Carrow Road in 2022. The pair seemingly dated till the latter part of 2023. Norman signed for Al-Raed in the summer of 2023 and that was the end of their relationship as the Norwegian left Rostov.
Soon after, Gracheva answered a fan asking why she broke up in an IG Q&A session. The 29-year-old wrote in response, ‘Different views, principles. I should be proud of my man and not ashamed.’
Meanwhile, her rumoured romance with Mudryk became public knowledge due to the Chelsea star commenting on her pictures. The now-deleted comments sent the signal to the masses and Gracheva’s post’s comment sections were flooded with Mudryk comments and GIFs.
In February, she posted a picture of a high-altitude view of Leadenhall Street in London and, surprisingly, Mudryk posted the same picture on his IG story as well. The ongoing tension between Russia and Ukraine also made her a target of social media abuse.
‘Ukrainians, I love you. Stop hating me and spamming my profile. I’m for world peace,’ Mudryk’s rumoured girlfriend responded.
While the couple never disclosed their relationship status officially or were seen together in public, the common belief in the footy world is that they are currently together, and it can only mean trouble for the opponents next season.
