Murat Nalchadjian speaks about his relationship with Bilyk

Turkish businessman and former husband of Ani Lorak, Murat Nalchadjian, commented on recent rumours widely discussed in Ukrainian show business regarding his possible romantic relationship with singer Irina Bilyk. 

In an interview with journalist from Fashion Reality TV, Nalchadjian emphasised that although he admires the artist, their bond is nothing more than friendship.

"Irochka is undoubtedly a goddess. I consider her a true legend of Ukrainian show business. We really have a close friendship. We have known each other for a long time, and I love her as a person and as a creative individual. She looks magnificent," Murat noted, adding that he highly values Bilyk's work. He also stated that he plans to attend one of her concerts and invited her to dinner, if she is willing.

"Ira is an amazing woman, and every one of her songs sounds as if it comes straight from the soul. I hope to make it to her tour, and if she agrees, I would be happy to have dinner with her," he added.

It should be noted that rumours about a romance between the businessman and the singer were first voiced by Ukrainian show business commentator and gossip columnist Bohdan Bespalov, who claimed that Irina and Murat were seen in each other's company, with the businessman flirting with Bilyk, giving her flowers and kissing her.

Murat, in turn, firmly denied all speculation, emphasising that his relationship with Irina remains strictly friendly.
