But the ambitious girl soon got bored with her work as a model and became more of a hobby for her. Nastasya moved to the United States and enrolled in acting classes in Los Angeles, intending to devote her future career to cinema.
Personal life of Anastasia Shubskaya
It goes without saying that from a young age, the charming daughter of influential and wealthy parents was surrounded by crowds of admirers. Nastya had her first serious romance at the age of nineteen - with the famous financier Artem Bolshakov. Shubskaya was even going to marry him, but after the businessman left for the United States, their feelings gradually faded away. 
But Nastasya did not remain alone for long, and soon rumors began to spread about her affair with world hockey legend Alexander Ovechkin. Their first meeting took place many years ago, at the Beijing Olympics, where Nastya came with her father.
Later, they crossed paths more than once in common companies, but began dating after Shubskaya described on her Instagram an incident that happened to her on vacation in the Emirates. Then the girl almost drowned, and Alexander considered it necessary to support her and inquire about her well-being.
A correspondence ensued, followed by a personal meeting. Since then, the lovers have not parted. In August 2016, they officially registered their relationship, and on July 8, 2017, they celebrated a luxurious wedding in Moscow. Anastasia took her husband's surname.

Personal life

But they developed feelings much later, when Nastya grew into a beautiful and slender girl. Their communication began by correspondence, Ovechkin sympathized with her and supported her, responding to Nastya’s message that she almost drowned while vacationing in the United Arab Emirates. This is how their communication began on social networks, where they agreed to meet in New York.
The first date took place in a romantic atmosphere and brought them so close that the lovers decided not to part again. A year later in their relationship, on Nastya’s birthday, Alexander proposed to the current model. This happened unexpectedly for the bride and was very simple, although not without some frills.
