In 2020, Sakhno and actor Hafner played a young couple on a snowboarding trip on the Black Ridge in "Let It Snow." The two actors perfectly portray a couple in love in the film's opening scenes before things turn sinister.

However, Sakhno has yet to share about her and Hafner's relationship away from the camera. Instead, the actress spoke about her experiences while filming the horror movie, particularly having so many scenes alone, and shared:

"The‌ ‌lonesome‌ ‌aspect‌ ‌of‌ ‌the‌ ‌storyline‌ ‌was‌ ‌rather‌ ‌interesting‌ ‌to‌ ‌get‌ ‌to‌ ‌be‌ ‌part‌ ‌of.‌ ‌The‌ ‌more‌ ‌challenging‌ ‌but‌ ‌expected‌ ‌parts‌ ‌of‌ ‌the‌ ‌process‌ ‌were‌ ‌exceptionally‌ ‌cold‌ ‌weather,‌ ‌altitude‌ ‌sickness‌ ‌, and‌ ‌lack‌ ‌of‌ ‌sleep.‌"

Ivanna Sakhno's Dating Life Sparked Interest among Fans after She Was Seen with Kate McKinnon

In 2018, Sakhno was rumored to be in a relationship with Kate McKinnon after the co-stars, who filmed "The Spy Who Dumped Me," were photographed together in Central Park. "Kate McKinnon proving not only to be hilarious, but also very helpful as she makes sure no ticks found their way into her girls hair after lying down in Central Park," one person tweeted.

While McKinnon openly identifies as gay, Sakhno has not shared any details about her sexuality. However, Sakhno did support the LGBTQ demonstrations in the face of the war in her home country. After filming "The Spy Who Dumped Me" — co-starring Mila Kunis, Sam Heughan, and Justin Theroux — Sakhno looked back on her experience working with McKinnon and said:

"I find Kate to be incredibly talented [...]. I got to, I think, find love for comedy on a whole new level by working with her, and I couldn't appreciate her more."

Ivanna Sakhno Is Focused On Her Career

While Sakhno is yet to share more about her dating life, the actress has been preoccupied with her career. After filming "The Spy Who Dumped Me," "Let It Snow," and the series "High Fidelity," she took on another role in "Ahsoka," her biggest project yet.

The project saw her train for the part for months, and she was also involved in developing her character — from picking out her costume and make-up to a specific hairstyle. "[...] I just felt like my involvement mattered," Sakhno shared.
