Russian Ice Hockey centre Evgeni Malkin engaged Anna Kasterova, a TV personality and journalist, in 2015. The couple welcomed their son, Nikita, in 2016.
After knowing each other for several years, Evgeni Malkin and Anna Kasterova started dating in February 2014.
The ice hockey player saw her on TV and got her phone number through his connections. Despite initial hesitation, Anna eventually reciprocated Malkin’s advances, and their bond grew stronger.
Anna reminisced their very first conversation in an interview, saying,
Malkin was simple in his introduction: “Hi Anna! My name is Evgeni Malkin. May I write you sometime? Maybe we can develop some kind of friendship…”
After almost two years of courtship, Malkin and Anna engaged in November 2015. A couple of months later, on May 31, 2016, the couple welcomed their first child, son Nikita.
Anna took to her Instagram to share a picture of a decoration comprising “it’s a boy” banners and blue balloons after the arrival of their baby boy.
Thus far, it remains unclear if they had a formal wedding ceremony. Some sources suggest Evgeni Malkin and Anna Kasterova married in the United States around late May 2016.
Likewise, they addressed each other as “husband” and “wife” during an interview, hence, given the fact they should’ve tied the knot privately.
Anna shared a collage picture featuring their ring on October 12, 2016, writing, “ring ceremony 🍾.” However, it remains unascertained if they married on the very day.
Both Malkin and Anna have remained silent about their marital status and have not posted anything on social media regarding their wedding anniversary.
Malkin is nothing but over the moon to have Anna in his life. He praised her, saying,
I met the right woman, and she gave me a child. My wife does everything so that I can play at my best. The family is your foundation, your source of help. I am very grateful to Anna for everything she does for me. I sure hope these were not the last five years of our life together
