Larisa Kopenkina, the ex-wife of famous performer Prokhor Shalyapin, has acquired a new favourite. The businesswoman was gifted a small animal – a live ferret.

«Появилось маленькое чудооо, не можем придумать имя ( девочка)» (A little miracle has appeared, we can't come up with a name (girl)), – Larisa wrote under a photo of the pet posted on her internet page.

Fans joke that the businesswoman has swapped one "ferret" for another, more attractive one.

Recently, the woman visited the studio of Lolyta Millyavskaya's new show, where she shared her story and spoke about her marriage to the artist.
