Ukrainian actress Natalka Denysenko officially changed her surname to Yaroshenko following her August 8 wedding to model Yurii Yaroshenko. The newlywed shared her updated passport details in social media updates, concluding a whirlwind period that also featured a last-minute surname change by her groom.
The Wedding and the New Surname
Ukrainian actress Natalka Denysenko has officially completed her transition to her married name, showing off her new passport following her marriage to model Yurii Yaroshenko. The couple wed on August 8 in a ceremony where the bride wore four different outfits, ranging from a classic white gown to a short dress. One particular outfit choice worn during their visit to the civil registry office sparked online debate and drew harsh comments from social media users who disapproved of the styling.
The groom also underwent a personal rebranding shortly before walking down the aisle. According to reporting on the wedding details, Yurii changed his surname from Savranshankiy to Yaroshenko just weeks before the ceremony.
An Absent Friend and a Public Greeting
While the ceremony brought together family and supporters, notable figures from the entertainment industry were missing from the guest list. Actress Olena Svitlytska was absent from the event, addressing her exclusion in a comment to the program Morning in a Large City by explaining that she and Denysenko are blocked from each other on social media.
How could she invite me? We’re even blocked from each other. But I saw everything anyway, despite being blocked, I saw both the photos and the video, I saw the tears of Yura and Natalka’s happiness. It is very nice to look at them. Because this story, which was born before my eyes, has such a beautiful continuation. Olena Svitlytska, Actress via 24tv.ua
Svitlytska took the opportunity to extend public well-wishes to her former friend, stating on the program, Congratulations on your wedding. Happy destiny. The two actresses had previously shared an 18-year friendship after meeting during their studies, with Denysenko serving as the godmother to Svitlytska’s eldest daughter, Vira.
Overlapping Guest Lists and Unanswered Questions
Despite the rift between the former close friends, both Denysenko and Svitlytska recently found themselves on the guest list for another high-profile celebration. On July 25, entrepreneurs Spartak and Yulia Velishaiev hosted a wedding attended by numerous Ukrainian public figures, including Denysenko alongside her husband Yurii Yaroshenko, as well as Svitlytska and actor Taras Tsymbaliuk.
Tsymbaliuk, whom media outlets previously linked to Svitlytska in past romantic rumors, was also absent from Denysenko and Yaroshenko’s wedding. Svitlytska declined to comment on whether Tsymbaliuk received an invitation to the ceremony.
