We take a look at the 25-year-old who has captivated a king who has now abdicated in mysterious circumstances.
Who is Oksana Voevodina?
Not much is known about Oksana apart from her winning the Miss Moscow contest three years ago.
She is a doctor’s daughter.
He dad Andrey Gorbatenko is an orthopaedic surgeon from Rostov-on-Don believed to be in his late 50s.
Images purporting to show her marrying the King of Malaysia Muhammad V of Kelantan, who is 49, in Russia appeared on social media in December.
Her mother was a beauty contestant in a local contest in Penza in the early 1990s soon after the collapse of the USSR.
How did she meet the King of Malaysia?
Little is known about the circumstances surrounding how the pair met and it is unclear whether she has been married before.
According to the Daily Mail, who spoke to a beauty contest director, Ms Voevodina is said to have met him 18 months ago in Europe when she was modelling luxury watches.
But her husband took leave from his role in November "following treatment" only to reappear later in pictures showing his marriage to Voevodina.
She was said to have converted to Islam and adopted the Muslim name Rihana.
Will she become Queen of Malaysia?
No because her husband, King Muhammad V, has abdicated.
The king resigned on Sunday, January 7, after just two years on the throne, the first time a monarch has stepped down before completing their five-year tenure.
No reason was given for the resignation.
