Artyom has met a Thai man visiting a massage ten years ago, fell in love and later exchanged rings with a woman. Although cohabitation has not lasted a long life, the wife has been forced to leave Latvia and both spouses have not met anymore.

Artyom admits that it could have been a calculated marriage and the woman was not driven by love, but he was in love. When Agrita asks if it is acceptable to live in a relationship with children and marry another, Artyom replies succinctly, “I don’t see any problem there.”

True, Artyom suggests in the conversation that his wife has not been at peace with this situation: “Elina has been cutting me all the time – when will you decide when we will finally get married. But to be honest, I did not see the person I really want to marry.”

The couple is known to have been together for about nine years. Although the two were not officially married, Elīna adopted Artyom’s surname and both are parents of three children.
