Bulgarian folk diva Alisia has officially announced her separation with her long-term partner, the football star Valeri Bozhinov, the Bulgarian "168 Hours" reports.

"I am alone. There is no man beside me," Alisia confirms.

Her relatives have stated that the couple has been separated for three months. They claim that after Alisia found out about the other woman in Bozhinov's life, they tried to get back together but it did not work out.

The news about the relationship between Parma's player and the Bulgarian playmate Nikoleta Lozanova has been circulating in the Bulgarian media for a while.

According to relatives, after Bozhinov left her, Alisia has been very depressed and has limited her public and professional appearances. Her parents and brothers are helping her raise her son, Valeri Jr.

The folk diva claims, however, that there is still one man that is in her life right now and this is her songwriter, Rosen Dimitrov.

Bozhinov, however, has openly demonstrated his passion for Lozanova. According to witnesses, the two have spend many passionate nights this summer in a popular pop folk club in Sofia.

"I said several times already that I am not pregnant," Lozanova said in an interview for the Bulgarian daily "24 Hours," regarding recent speculations in the media. However, she did not comment on her relationship with Bozhinov.
