The Russian beauty queen who wed the king of Malaysia shortly before his abrupt abdication has given birth to a royal baby.
Glamorous Oksana Voevodina, 25, married British-educated Sultan Muhammad V of Kelantan in a surprise Moscow ceremony last November.
The monarch abdicated early this year after the publication of her revealing pictures and lurid sex claims about her past life as a reality TV show star in her homeland.
Now Oksana has confirmed the birth of a son on 21 May, the first child of her royal husband Muhammad, who is 24 years her senior.
She posted new family pictures and a message in English and Russian accompanying a photograph of her baby’s feet.
She wrote: ’21 May 2019 – the day when my life was divided into ‘before’ and ‘after’.
‘Everything that I was told about the changes occurring with a woman after the birth of a baby is true.
‘This love is special. These feelings are completely new. I am grateful to Allah and my husband for our son. Now there are three of us.’
Giving her new baby’s full name, she wrote in English: ‘Thank you for choosing our family, Tengku Ismail Leon Petra Bin Tengku Muhammad V Faris Petra.’
She also posted new pictures from her Moscow wedding and her pregnancy.
‘It was the most important and, at the same time, the most difficult period in my life,’ she added.
‘The last three months of pregnancy I spent in hospitals, staying in bed with (drips in) both hands. I had too many difficulties with pregnancy.
‘The support of my closest people and my love for my son and Faith in the best helped me in that not simple time.’
On a new picture showing her pregnant, she wrote to her new son: ‘One day you will see this photo. You are not born here yet.
‘But I already love you with unconditional universal love …’
And recalling her Moscow marriage, she said: ‘I want to say thank you to the people who shared this happy moment with us and were together with us that evening!
‘It was wonderful and beautiful wedding…’
