Ruslana Rodina warns: "He is paying our price, he is not to blame"
Yan Golan takes his first steps in the industry in a new fashion campaign alongside his mother, who warns against harsh criticism and speaks candidly about the new relationship blossoming in her life.
The Israeli entertainment industry is noting a new entrant: Yan Golan, the 11-year-old son of model and actress Ruslana Rodina and singer Eyal Golan, is taking his first steps in the world of fashion. The young Golan was chosen to lead the new campaign for the children's and youth fashion chain NOIZZ (from Mania Jeans), sharing the photo set with his mother for a collection designed by her, NOIZZ X ROSS.
The joint collection brings to the forefront an updated and bold fashion concept for children and teenagers. The designs combine a tailored look with streetwear and sporty items, emphasizing layering and personal style. The collection was born out of the understanding that children of the current generation form a defined personal taste and know exactly how they want to look.
For Ruslana, Yan's collaboration with the brand is not the result of parental pushing, but a completely independent desire of her son. Ruslana shared openly about the decision to enter this glittering but complex industry:
"It came from him; we had many offers that he did not approve, and I never pushed for this. If he wants to and is ready, it is his choice."
As a mother who knows from the inside the heavy price of fame and media exposure, Ruslana makes it clear that she will stand by her son on any path he chooses, while acknowledging the challenges of public criticism:
"Whatever he decides, I will be behind him. I am a mother before any facade, I will protect him through fire and water. You need the skin of an elephant, the criticism is harsh. He is a child, he is paying our price and he is not supposed to. It is okay not to like him, but the child is not to blame."
Alongside the professional excitement, Ruslana is in a period of flourishing in her personal life as well. The star recently revealed her new partner, businessman Ami Barda:
"We met in Mykonos, and the funny thing is that he is from Hadera, the city of my childhood. It is still very fresh, but it is very fun. We are very similar in character. Overall, an excellent start."
At the same time, Ruslana proved once again her maturity regarding the exes in her life. Upon learning that her ex-husband, Itay Paz, got engaged to his partner Yuli, she cheered for him with all her heart: "Very happy for him, he deserves all the happiness in the world. We are still in touch through Yan."
