Vika Abbyaeva’s Nationality: The 27-Year-Old Russian Model Was Born in Elista, Kalmykia!

Vika Abbyaeva (@vika.abby), born on June 12, 1995, is a Russian model and reality television star. While she is Russian by nationality, Vika currently resides in the United States. She is also of mixed ethnicity, being half Russian and half Kalmykian. There isn’t much information about her parents or upbringing.

The 27-year-old was born in Elista, Kalmykia, Russia. Some claim that her parents are Chinese, but we cannot confirm this without concrete evidence. According to sources, Vika finished her education in Russia before moving to America for further studies.

Abby learned a lot about other cultures while living in New York. Because of her Asian heritage, she visits New York’s Chinatown. She eventually graduated from college and began looking for work, which she quickly found.

Vika is distinguished by her desire to discover new things; she enjoys visiting new places, meeting new people, and learning about different cultures. She began her travels as soon as she became financially independent, visiting the Dominican Republic, Mexico, Brazil, and France.

Vika Abbyaeva has been in the spotlight since her appearance in the Bling Empire New York version.  Vika appeared on the show with her Chinese-American boyfriend, Richard Chang, who works as the Chief Growth Officer for Hudson Medical. Stephen Hung (@stephenhungofficial), a wealthy business tycoon, also appeared in the show with his beautiful wife, Deborah Hung.

Abby met Richard Chang at a party through a friend. Both had a good conversation and discovered they share a passion for travel, prompting them to exchange phone numbers. They gradually began texting and, eventually, dating. It is unknown when Abby began dating Chang, but photo evidence indicates that they have been together since 2020.

They traveled alone before getting into the relationship; now that they have found a suitable mate, they have visited exotic places such as Anguilla, Italy, and Amsterdam. There’s no denying that they make an adorable couple that could melt anyone’s heart.

Vika Abbyaeva’s Boyfriend and Personal Life!

Vika Abbyaeva‘s presence has always calmed Richard Chang (@chairman_chang) down, even when he was going through a rough patch with family and work. She also supported him during his arguments with other Netflix series cast members. However, at one point, her co-stars accused her of being controlled by her beau, causing a rift in their relationship.

Vika insisted on going on an all-girls trip to the Bahamas, which sparked an argument between the two. He even called her stupid at the time. Richard also attempted to dissuade her by stating that he would not be present to protect her. Vika, on the other hand, wanted to go on all-girl trips to show people her true self because she was accused of being lost in his shadow.

Richard later realized his error and apologized to her after she went missing for the weekend. The couple is still together and appears to have a healthy and strong bond. In Bling Empire: New York, Richard wanted to propose to Vika. She eventually stopped him because she felt he was being pressured by his family to marry and start a family.

Vika Abbyaeva, on the other hand, preferred to wait and see where their relationship progressed before slipping a wedding band on her finger. Despite the fact that Richard was seen as distressed by her refusal to marry. Things appear to be fine on their end right now. Vika and Richard spent the summer of 2022 in Italy. Richard also shared a photo of them on a beach in Italy’s countryside.
