Olympian Johnny Weir's ex-husband
Victor Voronov is engaged to marry.
According to the New York Post
gossip blog Page Six, Voronov, a 32-year-old lawyer, and Joti
Polizoakis, a 20-year-old ice dancer for the German national team,
are planning to marry.
“It's just a little bit ironic that
it happened this way,” Voronov
told Page
Six, a reference to Weir's
accomplished career as a figure skater.
He added that Polizoakis proposed.
Following two years of marriage, Weir
and Voronov announced in March 2014 that they were divorcing. Their
separation played out in headlines as Weir moved forward with a new
career as a television personality.
Voronov said that he met his future
husband in the winter of 2014 at the Atlanta airport.
“After a while, months and months of
speaking, I developed trust,” he said.
Polizoakis is currently training in
Michigan for the upcoming 2018 and 2022 Winter Olympic Games.
“The plan is to have children after
the first Olympics, which is 2018,” Voronov said.
He also praised his fiance: “This
person is the most genuine, kind, honest and sweet person. I've
never been treated better in my life. Anybody would be lucky to know
a person like this.”
