Mum gives birth to baby with stepson she brought up from the age of seven

A 37-year-old woman has given birth to another child with the stepson she helped bring up from the age of just seven.

Marina Balmasheva announced the news on Instagram with a picture of the newborn in a cot with "hello".

She already has a daughter with 23-year-old Vladimir Shavyrin, whose father is her former husband Alexey who now looks after their five adopted kids, the Mirror reports.

The unconventional pair got together while Marina was still with her ex, who claims she would go to his son's room while he slept.

She opened up about her life with her stepson during the pandemic, and shared a picture of their first child Olga.

She calls her second husband "the most charming blue-eyes in the world" but scolds him on social media for being "clumsy" pushing their daughter's pram, and failing to hold down a well paid job in Krasnodar region, close to Ukraine, where war is raging.

She makes clear that she supports him from her social media earnings rather than allow him to do a mundane office job.

Many Russians of his age are fighting - and dying - in Vladimir Putin's war in Ukraine.

It is not clear if he is in danger of a call up.

A video posted by Marina shows the moment he met his daughter Olga for the first time.

After revealing her relationship with her former stepson, she said: "So many people tell me to use makeup - make lashes, and curl my pubic hair - because of my young husband.

"But there is one thing - he fell in love with me with all my scars from plastic surgeries, cellulite, excessive skin and personality.

"And I do not want to seem better than what I am."

She also told how she had insisted on a prenup so that she keeps all her money and assets in case of divorce from her new husband.

Her ex Alexey bitterly told journalists: "She seduced my son. He had not had a girlfriend before her.

"They were not shy to have sex while I was at home. I would have forgiven her cheating, if it wasn't my son....

"She was running to my son's bed from our bedroom when I was sleeping...

"After that she was coming back and lying in bed with me as if nothing had happened."

Marina now says he previous marriage was "not living but pretending"

She told her followers: "Did I have regrets that I destroyed the family? Both yes and no."
