The sharks of the pen looked through all the social networks of the artist and his friends, from which they concluded that Kudaibergen was romantically involved with a girl named Nursaule Aubakirova. They met at the institute where Nursuale studied directing. Photos of the couple radiating happiness were discovered on the girl’s Instagram page. True, after the publication of the pictures, this Instagram page of Nursuale was deleted, but the fans began to claim that the girl had photoshopped herself onto their idol.

The artist once admitted that he liked the “I am a singer” contestant, Chinese singer Iuan Iyaui, who left the TV project after the 2nd round. “When I came to the project, I thought that I would not be able to find a common language with the contestants. Iuan Iyaui immediately came up to me and introduced herself. We found common topics for conversation, she showed her openness, and we became attached to each other,” the singer said in an interview.

A few days later, fans were upset by a video depicting Dimash’s tender relationship with the Chinese beauty singer Tia Rey. Rumors immediately spread that the Chinese woman was the artist’s new bride.

But there is no talk of intimacy there. It happens! Strong, attractive, loyal friendship!
