What did Miss Russia say about the engagement

Valentina Alekseeva spoke about the engagement in an interview with journalist Laura Dzhugelia. According to the model, she received a marriage proposal about four days before the conversation. At the same time, she did not share the details of the romantic gesture, explaining that she wanted to keep this moment personal.

According to her, the wedding is not planned yet. Earlier, information about the couple's alleged celebration in Abu Dhabi had already appeared in the media, but Alekseeva denied these reports.

How the lovers met

The dating story began with a bouquet that Mitelman decided to send to the model through her manager. It is written to the contact number for promotional offers, which is listed on Alekseeva's social networks. At first, the model did not attach much importance to the gesture, but the manager informed her that the sender insistently wanted to please her.

After the bouquet was delivered, the businessman wrote to the model personally and asked if she liked the flowers. Alekseeva admitted that she did not immediately respond to the message: at that moment she was not looking for a relationship and was in no hurry to get to know a fan. As a result, she thanked the man, after which he offered to give her another gift.

The model agreed to the meeting, but immediately warned that she would be able to give the stranger only 15 minutes. Mitelman flew from Chelyabinsk to Moscow to get to know her personally. According to Alekseeva, at the first meeting, he immediately announced that he was not married.

How did their relationship begin

During the first meeting, Mitelman told Alekseeva that he had been following her social media pages for a long time. According to the model, the man immediately indicated the seriousness of his intentions and explained that he wanted a relationship, not a fleeting acquaintance. He brought a diamond jewelry with him.

At the same time, Alekseeva did not immediately believe the words of her new acquaintance. She admitted that she was used to treating men's promises with caution and at first did not take courtship seriously. Gradually, the attitude towards Mitelman changed: the model began to trust him and felt safe with him.

According to Alekseeva, it was the consistency in the man's behavior that helped her to make sure that his intentions were serious. She also said that she appreciates the opportunity to feel protected next to her partner. At the same time, the model chose not to disclose the details of her personal life and the circumstances of the marriage proposal itself.

How is Philip Kirkorov connected with Alekseeva

Another topic of the interview was Alekseeva's relationship with Philip Kirkorov. The model met the artist at the Miss BRICS competition, and later took part in the filming of his music video "Louise". According to Alekseeva, communication with the singer gradually developed into friendship.

At the same time, at the beginning of their acquaintance, Mitelman was jealous of his lover for the artist. Alekseeva said that it was not easy for the businessman to get used to her communication with Kirkorov. Later, the men met in person, and the tension was relieved.

In the interview, the model also explained that she did not want to hide her relationship with Mitelman from the public. According to her, she decided to tell about her chosen one because she was happy and wanted to stop speculating about her personal life.
