Ukrainian television presenter Andriy Byednyakov has shared photos of his daughter Kseniya online for the first time in a long time to mark her 11th birthday on September 20.
Marking the occasion on Instagram, the television host published archival footage of the birthday girl alongside a dedicated public message expressing his deep affection for her.
In his message to Kseniya, Byednyakov addressed her by her informal names Ksenya and Ksyusha, writing that he loved her so much that the word strongly was far too weak to describe it. He called her an incredible girl and stated that he was deeply proud to have such a daughter.
The presenter assured her that he would always be by her side to offer advice, help, and conversation, acting as both a father and a friend until the last sunset. He added that he would always pick her up and toss her into the air, or at least try to do so, even when he turns 70 years old, noting that seventy was already approaching soon. He concluded by writing that she is the girl who makes him a better person.
Family life and television career
Byednyakov raises two children, a daughter and a son, with his ex-wife, Ukrainian actress and broadcaster Anastasiya Korotka. The couple announced their divorce in 2024, but they have maintained warm and friendly relations to raise their daughter and son together.
Byednyakov is one of the most recognizable figures on Ukrainian television, having achieved widespread fame as the long-time host of the popular travel television project Orel i Reshka, which aired for years across Ukraine. Korotka also co-hosted the travel series alongside him, and the pair frequently worked together on various entertainment broadcasts.
The television host has previously spoken openly about his private life following his separation, having recently answered questions from fans regarding whether a reunion with his former wife was possible.
