“Let’s Dance” star Ekaterina Leonova is celebrating a milestone in her life: she has received a permanent residence permit.
Ekaterina Leonova (35) brought good news to her Instagram followers. “After 15 long years, I hold my permanent residence permit (settlement permit) in my hands. You probably can’t imagine how happy I am right now,” wrote the Russian ‘Let’s Dance’ professional dancer to multiple images, on which she poses beaming with her identity document. Sentences like “Ekat is about to be deported” or “Ekat is urgently looking for a job so as not to be deported” will no longer be part of her life. With a laughing emoji, she also adds the hopefully quickly forgotten sentence “Ekat will marry soon because she wants to stay in Germany”.
“Let’s Dance” stars congratulate
From now on, the only motto for the 35-year-old is: “If Ekat works, it’s because she enjoys the job. If Ekat gets married, it’s because she loves her spouse. And if Ekat flies to Russia, it’s because she’s visiting her family want.” She will celebrate the milestone big and she wants to thank everyone “who has always accompanied and supported me on this long journey,” she wrote at the end and finally explained to her fans that the settlement permit they received is not the same as changing their citizenship .
Many followers were happy for the dance professional. Among other things, “Let’s Dance” colleagues such as presenter Victoria Swarovski (28), juror Motsi Mabuse (41) or dancer Isabel Edvardsson (40) congratulated Leonova under the post.
