Yulia Ivanovna Verbinets is a Ukrainian blogger and influencer.
Place of Birth, Education
She was born on April 12, 2003 in the city of Ivano-Frankivsk.
Blogger career
In 2017, she registered on the Instagram platform.
During the year, about 40 thousand users subscribed to Verbinets’ page. Since at that time there were few Ukrainian bloggers who covered lifestyle topics, she became one of the first in this direction. When the audience of her profile grew to 300 thousand subscribers, the girl began to experiment with content – shoot videos, collaborate with other content creators.
In 2019, Julia was awarded the award as the best blogger in the field of lifestyle according to the influencer platform Blogger Zone. At the same time, it is not limited to Instagram – from time to time it can be seen in parody videos on the Silirada YouTube channel.
Scandal
Verbinets regularly faced criticism due to expensive purchases and a peculiar attitude towards donations during the full-scale invasion.
In an interview, the blogger explained her position, saying that the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) are fully provided with state funds. She also noted that President Volodymyr Zelenskyy did not announce any financial gatherings or calls for additional assistance. According to her, the state covers all expenses at the expense of citizens’ taxes, and in general, in her opinion, the situation in the country looks stable.
In a podcast with volunteer and TV presenter Serhiy Prytula, stand-up comedian Anton Tymoshenko also expressed dissatisfaction with Verbinets. According to him, the blogger is focused solely on demonstrating her own life, ignoring the events of the full-scale war, which outrages him.
In particular, Prytula and Tymoshenko drew attention to the fact that the blogger, having a significant audience on Instagram, does not hold charity fundraisers to support the Ukrainian military.
In response, Verba said that the lack of public posts about donations does not mean that she does not support the country financially at all. Subsequently, the blogger purchased four cars at her own expense, which were to be used for evacuation. However, the move also caused mixed reactions on social media. Some users expressed doubts about the quality of transport, ironically noting that such cars are more suitable for “evacuation to the next world”.
Marital Status
Verbinets has been in a relationship with blogger Denys Prytula for a long time. The couple repeatedly diverged and came together again. They finally broke up in 2023.
In an interview, Yulia admitted that it was Prytula who gave her the most expensive birthday present. He gave her a bracelet from the world famous jewelry brand Cartier, the cost of which ranges from 5 to 7 thousand dollars.
In July 2023, the blogger showed a photo of her new chosen one for the first time. Subsequently, it became known that she was in a relationship with Konstantin Zolotukhin. According to open sources, the man officially divorced in May 2021 and has a daughter from a previous marriage.
In addition, insiders reported that the blogger’s fiancé had previously been in a pre-trial detention center. He was accused of fraud – allegedly he sold counterfeit equipment under the guise of original Apple devices.
On September 18, 2024, the blogger and her new chosen one had a daughter.
