Despite trying to keep their relationship away from public attention, the news somehow escaped into the media.
Some even considered Evelina as his wife, but the pair haven’t tied the knot yet. Moreover, they are still keeping a low profile, barely making any public appearance.
Who Is Evelina Mambetova?
Eveline is a renowned Ukrainian model who began her professional modeling journey in 2008, signing with Supreme Management.
Soon after she signed the contract, she debuted in New York Fashion Week’s spring collection.

As for her love life, before dating Koum, she had dated the NYC 1oak club owner Richie Akiva in 2008, which remained a topic of discussion for quite a while.
Koum Apologized To His Ex-Girlfriend
Well, Evalina is not the only one with an attention-grabbing past relationship. The former WhatsApp CEO also turned many heads during 2014 when he publicly addressed his past relationship.
According to Business Insider, Koum’s ex from his college accused him of threatening her and filed a restraining order against Koum in 1996.
Apologizing for his past behavior, Koum released a statement saying,
"I feel I was irrational and behaved badly after we broke up. I am ashamed of the way I acted, and ashamed that my behavior forced her to take legal action. I am deeply sorry for what I did. "
Many responded to his sincere apology positively, and later Facebook also released a statement highlighting Koum’s sincerity for taking responsibility for the event that occurred decades ago.
A Short Bio
Besides trending for his relationship history in 2014, Koum came into the news when he and his co-founders sold WhatsApp to Facebook in the same year.
Koum, whose net worth suddenly rose to 6.8 billion dollars after selling the chatting app, comes from an average-income family growing up.
Born in Ukraine in 1976, Koum’s family had to move to Mountain View in California because of the unstable political scenario in Ukraine at the time.
Although he left his birthplace with his mother, his father never made it to California and passed away in 1997. Later, in 2000, Koum’s mother also passed away due to cancer.
Orphaned at a young age, he continued his education and enrolled in San Jose State University but shortly quit his education after being hired by Yahoo in 1997.
Later he created his globally used chatting app, WhatsApp, and after selling it to Facebook in 2014, he accepted an offer to become one of the board of directors in Facebook.
