Yekaterina Volkova seeks reconciliation with estranged daughter Valeriya
Actress Yekaterina Volkova has spoken openly about her efforts to repair her fractured relationship with her daughter, Valeriya. The two have been estranged since 2022, following a bitter public split that left Volkova with little contact with her grandchildren, Timofey and Vasilisya. The rift between Volkova and Valeriya began after her separation from Valeriya's father in 2022. Public arguments, custody battles, and accusations of neglect and manipulation played out in Russian media. Valeriya later described her mother as 'toxic' in 2023 interviews, claiming she felt abandoned and had no interest in reconciliation—until a recent shift in 2026.
Volkova now says the core of the conflict stems from a misunderstanding that grew over time. She believes open conversation is the only way forward and remains willing to speak with her son-in-law if he engages honestly. Her main concern is ensuring her grandchildren—especially Vasilisya, who turns one in June—can still see her. Despite the ongoing tension, Volkova insists she is eager to rebuild her connection with Valeriya and her family. She acknowledges the damage but remains hopeful that dialogue could mend what has been broken.
For now, Volkova and Valeriya have stepped back from their relationship, leaving the future uncertain. The actress has made clear her desire to see her grandchildren and restore trust. Whether her daughter will respond remains to be seen.
