Building a family and having a daughter
Mikhail Fedorov worked in marketing and the SMM agency, while Anastasia started working in the IT sector and taught English there. During their 10 years of marriage, they had both ups and downs.
We went through buckwheat, a single bed for two, differences of opinion on what seemed to me to be important things, and much, much more.
– wrote Mikhail Fedorov.
In 2017, the couple had a daughter, who they named Maria.

They later moved to Kyiv. Anastasia created her own women's clothing brand COVER, and later Mykhailo Fedorov became the Minister of Digital Transformation. He is the youngest minister in Ukrainian politics.
Life during the Great War
During the full-scale war, the life of every Ukrainian changed. However, the Fedorovs' relationship remained just as strong. They continued to try to spend time together and as a family. If before the couple went to the movies, now they communicate over dinner: sharing news and experiences.
If we talk about the war, then, of course, it is very difficult for everyone now. Including Mikhail, because the amount of work has become greater than usual. But I am with him, I am always there and I believe that this is the key to a strong relationship – just to be there and go through everything together,
– Anastasia shared.

It is also important that romance does not disappear in the couple's relationship. Mykhailo gives his wife and daughter flowers, and invites his beloved on a date.
How did Fedorov's wife react to her husband's new position?
On January 14, the Verkhovna Rada appointed Mykhailo Fedorov as Minister of Defense. His wife publicly reacted to this. She shared that she did not need to be congratulated or sympathized with.
Every choice in an adult's life should be his own. My husband has his own undeniable incredible achievements, his own ambitions, and his own professional vision of what he wants to do next. I respect this choice just as he respects my path – completely separate from politics. This is the adult separation of spheres,
– Anastasia emphasized.
The woman added that often the wives of media personalities are devalued and perceived as an accessory. However, she emphasized that she is a separate person with her own responsibility, so she called for respecting personal boundaries.
