Actress Zoya Berber has filed for divorce from her husband, actor Maksim Belborodov, at a magistrate court in the Ramenki district of Moscow.
The legal action was confirmed through an official statement published on the Telegram channel of the Moscow courts of general jurisdiction. According to court materials, the magistrate judge for court section No. 177 in the Ramenki district received the formal statement of claim from Berber requesting the dissolution of their marriage.
Recent Anniversary and Family Life
The divorce petition marks an end to the couple's three-year marriage. Berber and Belborodov celebrated their third wedding anniversary at the beginning of the year, and Belborodov had posted a touching tribute to congratulate his wife on her birthday on Sept. 1.
The couple share one child together, a two-year-old son named Maksim. Berber is also the mother of an 11-year-old daughter named Nadya, born from her previous relationship with Russian television screenwriter Aleksandr Sineguzov.
Public Remarks and Television Careers
In 2025, Berber attracted media attention when she publicly shared her thoughts on the psychological challenges of parenting and maternal emotions. The actress remarked that when a mother speaks of hating her child, the sentiment stems from underlying difficulties with self-perception rather than genuine hostility toward the child.
Berber is best known to television audiences as one of the leading cast members of Real Boys, a popular comedy series that launched on the TNT network. The hit show ran for over a decade, establishing her as a prominent star on Russian television.
Belborodov built his acting career through roles in major television projects, gaining widespread public recognition for his work in Univer. The long-running sitcom followed the comedic misadventures of college students sharing a university dormitory in Moscow.
Court Proceedings in Moscow
The marital dissolution process will proceed through magistrate court section No. 177 in Moscow. In the Russian court system, magistrate judges handle first-instance civil cases, including uncontested family law matters and marriage dissolutions within designated municipal districts.
