Ukrainian actor Kostyantyn Oktiabrsky has revealed that he has separated from his wife Samira after 10 years together. According to the actor, it was his wife who initiated the split, citing a crisis in their relationship, financial difficulties, health issues and job insecurity as the reasons.

Konstantin Oktyabrsky revealed this in an interview with Alina Dorotyuk.

Ukrainian actor Konstantin Oktyabrsky has announced that he has separated from his wife Samira.

The couple had been together for 10 years and are raising two sons – Robert and Matviy.

According to the actor, it was Samira who initiated the split. At the same time, he emphasised that this decision was not sudden and had been brewing for a long time.

Oktyabrsky said that following the split, he holds his ex-wife in high regard.

“We have two sons: Robert is ten now, and Matviy is eight. Even now, I owe her a great deal. She is wise, kind and intelligent. While I was building my career, she was at home looking after the children. I respect and value her very much,” said the actor.

At the same time, Oktiabrsky admitted that he takes some of the blame for the breakdown of the relationship.

“Perhaps I didn’t do enough. I didn’t give her what she deserved,” he said.

According to the actor, his relationship with Samira was not straightforward.

Over the course of 10 years, they were officially married twice.

The couple had already gone through a divorce, after which they reconciled and registered their marriage for a second time.

In 2025, the couple separated again.

In January 2026, Oktyabrsky received the official divorce papers.

The actor explained that this time the reason was a serious crisis in their relationship.

He specifically emphasised that infidelity was not a factor.

According to Oktyabrsky, the family was severely affected by financial problems, health issues and job instability.

Despite the divorce, the former couple have maintained a normal relationship.

Oktyabrsky and Samira will continue to raise their sons together, as the children remain their top priority.

Konstantin Oktyabrsky is a Ukrainian actor, known for his roles in the TV series “Hospital” and “A Pair of Detectives”.

His career began not in film, but in regional television.

The actor was born in Kyiv and spent his youth in Dnipro, where he studied at a theatre and arts college.

After graduating, Oktyabrsky did not work in his profession for some time.

In 2010, he moved to Kyiv, where he began building a career in the media, and later in TV series.

The actor met his now ex-wife Samira through a mutual friend.

During the full-scale war, the family temporarily moved to western Ukraine, but later returned to Kyiv and volunteered.

In 2023, the family survived a drone strike on their flat.

The flat was completely destroyed, and Oktyabrsky himself admitted that he developed PTSD.

Despite this, no one in the family was physically injured.
