After Elena began to advertise her relationship with Anashenkov and said in an interview that she had found a personal “prince on a white horse” with whom it was not scary to give birth to a child, the press began to be filled with photographs of the allegedly pregnant Letuchaya.

In February 2020, the TV presenter amazed fans. Elena Letuchaya honestly admitted that she had plastic surgery.

Firstly, Elena did not want to deceive fans who constantly asked the star how to achieve such an appearance. Secondly, I wanted to thank the plastic surgeon who performed the operation. The TV star also gave a link to the doctor. Some fans appreciated the presenter's honesty, others were outraged that she resorted to plastic surgery.
