Christina Aguilera plays lavish Morocco birthday bash for gal pal of Russian billionaire Vlad Doronin
Russian billionaire Vladislav Doronin, the CEO of the luxury Aman resorts, threw an over-the-top 30th birthday bash for his girlfriend, model Kristina Romanova, in Marrakech, Morocco — complete with a performance by pop superstar Christina Aguilera.
Romanova — who has dated Doronin, 61, since 2015 and has two children with him — posted pictures of herself being carried into the party by several men in black capes on a gold palanquin like an ancient queen.
If that wasn’t a dramatic enough entrance, fireworks were going off in the background.
In a video posted to Instagram, Romanova can be seen helping Aguilera walk down some steps as she performs “Happy Birthday” and blows kisses at the model.
The multi-day birthday festivities included a party in the Moroccan desert, plus events at the five-star Aman resort, Amanjena.
In the social media clips, Romanova is also shown cutting a large multitiered white cake with bows that’s taller than the birthday girl.
In another picture, with a different outfit, she cuts another gigantic cake with blue icing and feathers sprouting from the top.
Doronin is seen smiling happily in several images from the bash, and the couple are seen slow dancing in one video.
The pair are known for holding lavish parties: In 2021, they threw an elaborate fourth birthday fete for their daughter at the couple’s waterfront Miami, Fla., estate.
A source told Page Six at the time that the bash for the preschooler cost a cool $50,000.
Doronin made his fortune in the ’90s, and has been referred to as the “Russian James Bond” by the late, legendary architect Zaha Hadid.
He formerly dated supermodel Naomi Campbell — with each suing the other for millions after their break-up claiming possessions had not been returned.
Doronin’s famous friends include Kate Moss, Demi Moore and Leonardo DiCaprio.
In 2013, Page Six reported on a bash held at his Miami home that was attended by the “Great Gatsby” star, Val Kilmer, Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber, Aby Rosen and Samantha Boardman, Julie Macklowe, Peter Brant and Derek Blasberg that featured nude, painted models as décor.
The mogul also has a blue chip art collection filled with works by Jean-Michel Basquiat, Andy Warhol, Damien Hirst and Keith Haring.
The billionaire has attempted to distance himself from his links to Russia, and has said, “I denounce the aggression of Russia on Ukraine and fervently wish for peace… I have not conducted business in Russia in many years.”
The Aman’s jet was briefly grounded when the aircraft’s operator had sanctions imposed by the American Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control. It is back in the air.
Doronin sued the Aspen Times in 2022 after they described him as an “oligarch” in several articles about his purchase of $76 million worth of land at the base of Aspen Mountain.
According to the WSJ, he denied that “his wealth stemmed from corrupt and criminal conduct; instead, he claimed, it was earned legitimately beginning years before Putin came to power.”
His suit alleged the reports included “misplaced Russophobic attacks,” and the Colorado outlet settled.
