Early Life and Education

Irina Olsen was born on 2 May 1987 in Ukraine and is now 38 years old. At age 10 she moved with her family to Denmark. Her mother is Mila Babenko. She has a sister named Victoria Babenko.

During her childhood, Irina trained as a figure skater at elite level. She later left skating and for a time experienced hardship including a period where she lacked stable housing — at one point sleeping on the street. After leaving skating she held jobs including working at a supermarket.

Personal Life

Irina Olsen met musician / DJ Morten Brangstrup Olsen (stage name Faustix). The couple became parents to a daughter, Allessia. Their relationship experienced challenges due to Morten’s struggles with alcohol, which led to a separation when their daughter was about 2.5 years old. After some time apart, they reconciled and eventually married in September 2019.

They later had a second child, a son named Aston. Irina has spoken publicly about the difficulties they faced as a young family — including financial struggles and Morten’s addiction — and about their journey toward stability and family life.

Career

Irina Olsen began her career as an elite-level figure skater before leaving the sport. In her late teens or early 20s, she started attending auditions and took on small roles and dance jobs, which gradually led her into reality television.

Her first appearance came on the reality show “Fristet.” Over subsequent years she appeared in other reality-tv series such as “Mig og min mor,” “Influencers,” “Divaer i junglen” (on which she won prize money), and “Beauty bosserne.”

After her reality-tv appearances, Irina launched a blog under the name “Irina the Diva.” Through this platform — along with her Instagram and other social media — she grew into one of Denmark’s more visible influencers, focusing particularly on beauty, lifestyle, fashion, home, family, and makeup.

She diversified her brand by working professionally with companies, promoting beauty products, and eventually launching her own makeup and beauty products under her brand.

Her media career also includes acting credits (for example in a film listed as “Perfekte steder” (2017)). She has built a business-oriented public persona balancing motherhood, entrepreneurship, beauty, and lifestyle content. Through social media and influencer partnerships, she has established a brand identity around her lifestyle, family, and beauty ventures.
