Irina fondly remembers her father, who had a darker complexion due to his Tatar background, sometimes leading people to mistake her for being of South American descent.

She charmingly states, “My father’s Tatar heritage often made him appear Brazilian, while my light eyes come from my mother.”

In addition to her impressive career, Irina holds a deep connection with her family. She has a sister named Tatiana Petenkova and is delighted to be an aunt to Tatiana’s three children, one of whom is named “Irina” after her, carrying on her legacy.
