Her stage name is the former name of her birthplace, Severomorsk.[1] Her mother was educated as a chemist and her father was an engineer. Her maternal grandfather was a rear-admiral and her paternal grandparents were natives of Saint Petersburg (formerly Leningrad), and survived the Nazi siege of that city during World War II.

In 2012 she gave birth to a son in Saint Petersburg. The son's father is her former long-term companion and producer, Ivan Matviyenko. In 2016, she married Roman Sadyrbaev.
