Ilya & His Famous Wife's Unexpected Split

In 2012, Ilya's famous wife parted ways after a two-year marriage, and the latter initiated the divorce proceedings, citing irreconcilable differences. She also requested spousal support. Ilya's wife said in a statement:

"Marriage is extremely sacred to me, and I took honoring those vows very seriously. Unfortunately, it has become necessary for me to move on. Thank you for respecting our privacy during this time."

Little is known why the pair parted ways, but the split came as a complete surprise. A year before that, the pair had been discussing the possibility of joining the cast of the second season of the Bravo reality television show "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" (RHOBH).

Notably, "RHOBH" features a star-studded cast, including prominent figures like Kyle Richards, Lisa Vanderpump, Brandi Granville, Garcelle Beauvais, and Denise Richards, the ex-wife of actor Charlie Sheen.

Courtney is the daughter of the famous racecar driver Jerry Hansen, and she used her extensive knowledge of cars to become the host of the popular show "Powerblock." In addition to her automotive accomplishments, she was regarded as one of the sexiest women in 2005 by FHM Magazine.

Ilya's Ex-wife Remarried Someone Else

Like Ilya, his former wife has also found another chance at love. In 2018, she exchanged vows with the CEO and owner of Marissa Collections, Jay Hartington, in a beautiful wedding ceremony in Taormina, Italy.

Courtney is the proud mother of her adorable daughter, Holland Hartington, whom she described as sweet, strong, kind, adventurous, funny, curious, and talented. In a recent National Daughter's Day tribute, she said she has been "grateful and blessed" to be Holland's mom.
