Fedor Emelianenko Children: Meet Masha Emelianenko, Vasilisa Emelianenko, Elizabeth Emelianenko

Emelianenko married his high school sweetheart Oksana in 1999, and the couple welcomed their daughter Masha the same year. However, the pair legally separated in 2006.

On December 29, 2007, Emelianenko had his second daughter, Vasilisa, with his girlfriend Marina. There were rumours that the two were having an affair while Emelianenko was still married to Oksana.

They shared their wedding vows in 2009, and their younger daughter Elizaveta was born in July 2011.

After seven years together, Fedor and Marina had a divorce in 2013. He remarried his first wife, Oksana, a year later.

He prefers to keep his private life away from social media, so he mostly shares content related to MMA and his fighting team.
