Johnny Weir, Victor Voronov going ahead with divorce
By Sam Rigby
US figure skater Johnny Weir’s divorce from husband Victor Voronov is “100 percent still happening”.
Voronov addressed rumours that he and Weir are set to reconcile, telling US Weekly that “Johnny’s meddling mother” caused a problem in their marriage.
He said: “Johnny’s meddling mother [Pamela] was definitely the source of the breakdown of our marriage.”
Weir confirmed news of their split on Twitter last month, posting: “It is with great sadness that I announce that my husband and I are no longer together. My heart hurts, and I wish him well.”
Their split came just weeks after Weir reportedly appeared on court to answer allegations that he bit his husband during a violent dispute.
Weir recently worked as an NBC commentator at the Sochi Winter Olympics.
