Melovin and Petro Zlotia had become engaged in November of last year. The proposal took place at Kyiv's Independence Square, a significant moment for the couple. Petro Zlotia serves as an instructor and paramedic in the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Public figures in Ukraine, like many citizens, face immense personal challenges as the ongoing conflict continues to impact all aspects of life.

The end of this engagement highlights the personal strains and difficult decisions faced by couples during wartime, even those in the public eye. Melovin's choice to share this news on Valentine's Day may reflect a desire to close a chapter on this symbolic date. The ongoing war effort in Ukraine profoundly affects the personal relationships of countless individuals, including artists and service members.
