Personal life[edit]

Onopka was quoted in Teen Vogue saying this about her family: "My mother collects tear sheets of everything she sees me in." And about her father: "My father was in a rock band when I was growing up, so he's used to the spotlight. I like to sing, too."[16] According to Ukrainian media, she was previously engaged in 2009 to Ukrainian businessman Oleksandr Onyshchenko.[17]

In 2011, Onopka married Ukrainian businessman Mykola (Nikolay) Shchur.[18] In 2020, she stated that her husband had physically abused her throughout the marriage, while also adding that he did not agree with the divorce and wanted to take away her property.[19]
