The 52-year-old ice dancer Margarita Drobiazko and her 54-year-old husband Povilas Vanagas have announced that they are going to have their first child together. That was a surprise when I heard it at a court meeting on November 12 about taking away Margarita’s Lithuanian citizenship. After being together for 16 years and getting married in 2000, the couple is now getting ready to have their first child in just a few weeks.
Margarita told the judge that she had been looking forward to the chance to make her case for a long time during the remote court hearing. The hearing, on the other hand, was especially important for her because it was set just a few weeks before she was due. She said, “We’ve been waiting a long time for this hearing, and I have to say that it’s happening almost on the threshold of the maternity hospital.” She meant that she was going to give birth in three weeks. Margarita also said that being pregnant was hard on her physically and emotionally, which made it hard for her to focus during the meeting.
Because of her situation, she asked for breaks between sessions to deal with her pain and said it was hard to keep her mind clear since she was so close to giving birth. It had been more than a year and a half since Margarita had been in Lithuania, and the fact that she wasn’t there was a big part of her case for citizenship. She said it was especially hard because she was getting closer to giving birth.
Before they got married, Margarita and Povilas had been together for 13 years and made it clear that their home was focused around their cats. They had no plans for children until now. They decided to start a family after putting their jobs and personal lives first for a long time. They had talked a lot about how close they were and how much their pets meant to them, but now they are excited to become parents.
This couple’s recent pregnancy news is a big change. It has gotten a lot of attention, both because it came at a strange time and because they had previously said in public that they didn’t want children. While they have been a famous ice dancing pair for many years, many people were shocked to hear that they are going to have a child.
It’s not clear if Povilas or anyone in his family will say anything else about the story. There is no doubt, though, that this is a big change for the couple. They are now getting ready for the joys and difficulties of being parents.
Now that they are thinking about their soon-to-be-born child, it looks like the couple is starting a new and exciting time in their lives, balancing the joys of starting a family with their work obligations.
