Ukrainian television presenter Lesia Nikitiuk has shared a surprise gift from her soldier fiance Dmytro Babchuk and posted a rare photograph of their young son.
The media personality took to Instagram to reveal the surprise prepared by Babchuk, posing in front of a mirror while holding a large, lush bouquet of white chrysanthemums. In a caption addressed directly to her partner, the presenter wrote that she had collected the flowers.
A second picture showed Nikitiuk walking down stairs while holding the hand of her one-year-old son, Oskar. The blogger added no caption to the image, and she once again chose not to show the boy's face to her followers, continuing to keep his appearance private.
Holiday Proposal in the Carpathians
The couple's relationship first became public knowledge in the autumn of 2024, when they began publishing joint photographs on social networks. Babchuk, who serves as a member of the Ukrainian military, proposed to Nikitiuk on January 6, 2025, during a holiday in the Carpathian Mountains. The mountain range in western Ukraine is a popular destination for winter breaks and seasonal travel. Nikitiuk accepted the proposal and celebrated the milestone by displaying her engagement ring to supporters online.
Nikitiuk is widely recognized across Ukraine as a prominent television host and online personality. She rose to national prominence presenting major television projects, including the travel show Heads and Tails and the prime-time game show Who is on Top, before building an extensive personal audience on digital platforms.
Motherhood and Wedding Plans
On June 15, 2025, the couple welcomed their son, Oskar, who is Nikitiuk's first child. Following his birth, the presenter began sharing select details of motherhood with her followers, offering occasional updates on family life while keeping her child's face shielded from the public.
As of October 2026, Nikitiuk and Babchuk had not officially married. The television presenter previously stated that the couple intends to hold a wedding with guests and a full celebration, though the pair has not yet announced a formal date for the festivities.
