The former wife of Kelantan Sultan Muhammad V, Rihana Oksana Veovodina, said on Instagram that life after divorce feels free.
"Never felt such a pleasure" in her life
In a Jan. 7 post, she said while she thought that she "wouldn't survive with the baby inside" a year ago, and that she still felt "very upset and sick" six months ago, she now appreciates the taste of freedom after starting to work and making herself busy as much as possible.
She said: "I have never felt such a pleasure in my life - nobody tells me what I should wear, eat, what time to go to bed."
She added: "I can live absolutely the way I want, go where I want, bring up my son in the way I like."
"I am in a state of weightlessness and bliss from the opportunities that have opened up."
The 27-year-old former beauty queen ended her post by saying that she thinks she is one of those people whose "glass is half full", and that she is now "full of energy like never before", even saying she could be like motivational speaker Tony Robbins.
Social media posts of her and Sultan nowhere to be found
Oksana also appeared to have taken down all her Instagram posts of her and her former husband.
While she had several posts of her together with the Sultan on her Instagram page previously, all of such posts can no longer be found.
She had said in a March 3 post that her son Ismail Leon looks looks more like her when she was young, rather than his father.
Oksana, who recently revealed that she now works as a director of marketing and international communications at a Russian consulting firm, married the Kelantan ruler in a secret Islamic ceremony in June 2018.
Shortly after the baby was born on May 21, 2019, the Sultan divorced Oksana in June 2019 using the triple talaq method — the harshest and irreversible type of Islamic procedure.
