Today, a large part of Veronika’s life is occupied by her own business – an online store, which she smiles and calls almost her third child. At 42, Veronika says she finally felt that she has something to share with other women. Veronika’s online store is focused on beauty and her own accumulated experience.

In the show “The World According to Women,” K. Rimienė also reminded about another part of her life – professional dance. Does it still hold an important place in Veronika’s life?
“I still resist, but I feel that I won’t be able to resist very strongly anymore,” she laughed in the show.
Dancing unexpectedly returned through her daughter Adelė. Although Veronika herself hoped that her daughter would choose a completely different activity, in the end, dancing became her goal.
“I was just crossing my fingers – just not dancing, just not dancing. I was thinking: ‘What chess, what robotics, some biology club…’ That would be interesting to me. And all of that happened. But in the end, it was said: ‘I want to dance.’ That’s it,” she said.
Mother and daughter even film dance videos together. By the way, whatever dances she wants to try, Adelė always shows her mother.
“And mom, of course, hasn’t lost the skill to quickly learn choreography,” Veronika smiled.
Meanwhile, Veronika’s son, according to her, is a “complete athlete.” The boy’s daily life is full of activity: football, tennis, drums. And when asked if the children inherited their father – Donatas Montvydas’ – stage talent, Veronika is cautious about predicting their future. She only admits that her daughter has already performed on stage several times with her father.
However, perhaps the most openness in the conversation will be required by the recent changes in Veronika’s life. The divorce with D. Montvydas, according to her, was not something that could be planned in advance, but today the former couple shares childcare equally.
“We are parents. We have children together,” Veronika briefly described their current relationship.
The children spend one week with their mother, one week with their father. And if needed, they arrange differently between themselves. “Everything is perfect in this regard,” she said.
After the divorce, one of the most personal decisions in Veronika’s life also took place. The well-known woman recently underwent two plastic surgeries – nose and breast, which were performed at the same time.
“I wanted both of them for a very long time and for a very long time,” she admitted.
Veronika had already undergone a nose surgery for the septum when she was twenty, but according to her, the result at that time did not solve the problem. And she wanted breast surgery after having two children.
“Some things you cannot change. I didn’t want to change anything, but I really wanted to just have what God and my parents gave me,” Veronika spoke about her decision.

When asked by the show’s host K. Rimienė why Veronika decided to take this step now, she did not hide that a new stage of life also influenced her. “Maybe that change, that divorce, also somewhat freed me in this regard,” she revealed.
Veronika admitted that for a long time the opinion of close ones was very important to her. But today her attitude towards herself has changed.
“The more you delve into the well-being of others, the more you drift away from yourself,” Veronika said.
That is why now she follows a simpler rule: “I finally realized that I have to do what I want and look the way I want.”
Although Veronika spoke publicly about the surgeries on social networks, she did not hide that taking this step herself was scary. “Surgery is not an easy decision for me. It is an intervention. I am not a person who is not afraid of them,” she admitted.
The attitude of the surgeon she met was also decisive. “When a person tells me that the surgery should not change the person and their features, but just improve a little, that is the maximum coincidence with my thinking,” Veronika said.
And why talk about such a personal decision publicly at all? Veronika says she has received many messages from women who themselves are considering surgeries but are afraid.
“Does it hurt? What will happen? What if? I asked the same questions. Only now can I answer and encourage,” she said.
Veronika emphasized that she does not encourage making such decisions at a very young age. In her opinion, a person first needs to mature and understand what they really want. But there is one thing she no longer wants today – for women to judge each other.
“I would like more support from women for each other. Not that judgment or strange questions like, for example, what did you change? Who is he? Where are the children? How did you get divorced? I suggest just being happy for each other,” Veronika shared her view.
When asked which Veronika is the real one today – the one who was seen for many years next to a famous man, or the one who has now become even more public herself, she answered simply.
The woman said that earlier people were naturally more interested in the famous person next to her, so she often had to play a kind of intermediary role. Now the situation has changed.
“For some time, I was fine with it. Then I got bored. And now I am interested,” Veronika said about the new stage of life.
