Early life and family

Ulyana Matvienko was born on November 6, 1998, in Kyiv into a family where music was an important part of life. Her mother is the famous Ukrainian singer Tonya Matvienko, and her grandmother is the legendary Nina Matvienko, one of the most prominent Ukrainian singers. However, Ulyana’s father remained unknown, and this issue was not a topic of discussion in the family.

Tonia Matvienko’s motherhood began early – at the age of 17. Her relationship with her husband, Ulyana’s father, was difficult. After much uncertainty and ten years of marriage, the couple divorced when Ulyana was only 10 years old. Tonya often recalls this period as a difficult one, when she had to combine her career with raising her child.

A special role in Ulyana’s upbringing was played by her grandmother Nina Matvienko, who supported and nurtured her granddaughter through the difficult moments of her childhood. Thanks to this, Ulyana grew up to be a calm and modest girl who did not aspire to publicity and a career in show business.

Education and career

After graduating from high school, Ulyana decided to pursue higher education at the Kyiv National University of Culture and Arts, where she majored in stage management of pop events. Part-time jobs in her youth were also an important part of her life – Ulyana worked as a waitress and barista, as she strived for financial independence and understood the importance of self-reliance.

Although Ulyana did not aspire to become a public figure, she could not avoid her family in the media space. In 2019, during a performance on the Morning with Ukraine program, Ulyana, together with her grandmother and mother, performed the folk song “Oh on the Sea, Oh on the Sea,” which aroused great interest among the audience.

Although Ulyana did not choose a career as a singer like her mother and grandmother, she developed herself in another field – she became a producer of the Kitchen Club culinary YouTube channel and worked as a director on various filming locations. This allowed her to realize her creative energy in new projects where she found her place in the media space.

Personal life.

Ulyana was very careful about her personal life and rarely shared information about her relationships. However, it became known that in 2017, she started dating a guy named Yegor, and later he started living with their family. However, the relationship did not last long, and the reasons for the breakup remain unknown.

When the full-scale war in Ukraine broke out, Tonya and her younger daughter Nina went abroad, first to Portugal and then to the United Kingdom. Ulyana stayed in Berlin for a few months and then decided to return to Ukraine. Upon her return, she moved into a separate apartment with her new boyfriend.

Family relationships and family influence

Although Ulyana does not like to be the center of attention, her family has always been an important support for her. She often recalls how much warmth and care she received from her grandmother, Nina Matvienko, as well as from her mother, who always sought to raise her daughter in an environment of strictness and love.

It has been repeatedly noted that Ulyana is very similar to her grandmother, the legendary singer Nina Matvienko, both in terms of appearance and attitude to life.

Plans.

In October 2023, Ulyana Matvienko shared a touching post dedicated to her grandmother, expressing her love and gratitude for everything she had done for her. This shows the close emotional connection between Ulyana and her family.

Currently, Ulyana is actively working on the development of the Kitchen Club culinary channel, continues to shoot various projects, and participates in filming as a director. She continues to rent an apartment with her boyfriend, although she does not often share details of her personal life in public.

She is fond of traveling and nature, especially the mountains, where she often spends her free time. She posts photos from her travels, work processes, and meetings with friends and colleagues, demonstrating her active and creative life.

Perspectives.

With her talents and strong family roots, Ulyana has great prospects in the world of media and production. Her determination and willingness to work in different aspects of creativity help her to pursue new opportunities and continue to develop her career.
