Biography of Mariya Pogrebnyak
Maria Pogrebnyak (born 17 November 1989, Moscow) is a Russian blogger, designer, businesswoman and socialite, and one of the most recognisable figures on the Russian-language Instagram. She grew up in a well-off family and graduated from the Faculty of Journalism at Moscow State University, but she rose to fame following her marriage to footballer Pavel Pogrebnyak (since 2014). The couple are raising three sons: Alexei (born 2009), Alexander (born 2012) and Mikhail (born 2015). Maria has turned her personal brand into a successful business: she has launched the Pogrebnyak clothing brand, a children’s clothing line and a jewellery collection. She has over 2.5 million followers on Instagram (@mashapogrebnyak), where she shares her luxurious lifestyle, fashionable looks, family moments and business advice. Her style is bold, sexy and expensive: revealing dresses, swimwear, evening looks and lingerie photo shoots, which regularly rack up hundreds of thousands of likes. Maria speaks openly about her love for her body, fitness and her lack of insecurities, often appearing in provocative outfits. Between 2022 and 2025, she actively supported charitable causes, hosted television programmes and modelled for magazines. Despite criticism of her ‘glamorous’ lifestyle, she remains one of the most influential mum bloggers on the Russian internet. She is 170 cm tall and is Russian. Maria Pogrebnyak is a symbol of a successful wife, mum and businesswoman who knows how to be both tender and daring at the same time.
