Exchange of blows with Christina Hänni: Evgeny Vinokurov explains himself

A few days ago, dance professional Evgeny Vinokurov (34) revealed three things to his fans, which he regretted in his life. In addition to the points “too little time with my mom” and “I started with personal development too late”, the third aspect caused a sensation. “I should have had the courage in the past to change my dance partner.”

In 2011 it was a moment when he acted out of loyalty instead of his sporting development. “Today I regret that,” wrote the dancer. “Not because I know that it would have gone better with someone else – but because I didn’t even try it.”

In this statement, Christina Hänni (35), formerly Christina Luft, felt addressed. She was his dance partner from 2005 to 2016. The two were also a couple privately and even engaged. In the comment column, Vinokurov’s “Let’s Dance” colleague was annoyed: “Wow, you could have saved yourself. But good to find out here.” 13 joint successful years were apparently not sufficient, Hänni continued. “All the luck in the world with your personal development.”

Evgeny Vinokurov reacted to the comment and explained: “Christina, it simply shows that you are not really reflected. I talked about my decision that I regret today. I may be. My message is in no way directed against you or even.

The dance professional apparently reacted to the discussions of the fans. The 34-year-old made it clear: “I often hear, you want more honesty on social media. More openness. More authenticity. But one thing is particularly needed for this: a room without evaluation.” His profile is only about himself, his thoughts, experiences and decisions. Every decision also affects other people who were part of his life at the time. But that doesn’t mean “that I do not appreciate these people or that I am not grateful for the time together,” wrote the dancer. Vinokurov also emphasized: “I have great respect for those I went – and in front of the people who accompanied me. My posts are never directed against someone. I don’t offend anyone. I don’t make anyone bad. I just tell my truth – and how I look at my life today.”

In the end, he expressed the desire to “stop reading between the lines. That we start to listen to each other instead of seeing directly. That opinions are allowed to stand – even if we do not share them. And that you can say what you think – without fear of attack.”

Christina Hänni is now happy with Luca Hänni (30). The two had met at “Let’s Dance” in 2020. Together they danced to third place on the RTL show. They crowned their love in 2023 with a wedding in Piedmont, Italy. About a year later, her daughter saw the light of day in June 2024. Evgeny Vinokurov received a son in October 2021 with his wife Nina. In mid -October 2023 he announced the birth of a daughter. The two have been married since September 2021.
