Singer Anna Sedokova published a video message on social networks after the death of her ex-husband, Latvian basketball player Janis Timma. The artist called for her child to be protected from information about what happened.
“You know, all my life I didn’t understand how people who have this happening in their lives can record stories. But now I ask you very strongly, please: I have a child, he is small, he should not know anything. You can’t imagine what kind of hell I’ve just lived in for the last few years. I just have to save my child from this information,” Sedokova says in the video, not holding back her tears.
The body of 32-year-old Latvian athlete Janis Timma was found on the night of December 17 in the center of Moscow. Next to the man lay a phone with a screen saver with the inscription “Call Anna” and her phone number, Izvestia writes. The day before, the basketball player congratulated his ex-wife on her birthday on social networks. The TASS agency was informed by the operational services that Timma committed suicide. What caused it is still unknown.
Sedokova and Timma got married in September 2020. This marriage was the third for the performer, and the second for the basketball player. They had no children together. Sedokova has two daughters and a son.
In October, Sedokova, after four years of marriage to Timma, filed for divorce and announced the end of a “very difficult relationship.” A Moscow court officially dissolved the marriage in early December.
According to the telegram channel “112”, recently Sedokova and Timma lived in two countries: the athlete lived in the USA, and the singer returned to Moscow. According to the channel, the basketball player flew to Russia to seek forgiveness from his ex-wife, but his attempts were unsuccessful.
From 2015 to 2021, Janis Timma played for the Russian basketball clubs Zenit St. Petersburg and Khimki. In 2024, he became a player for the Spanish club Obradoiro.
