Personal Life
In January 2001, her ex-husband, Alexander Zdrok, sued her for monetary damages under their 1996 divorce property settlement, in which Victoria agreed to pay Alexander 15% of earnings from her work for the next decade. Victoria claimed the settlement was invalid, and sought to seal the trial, but the court declined to do so. She appealed and lost this issue.
On December 9, 2003, she settled with her husband for US$50,000. Afterwards, her ex-husband's lawyer, Elliot Goldberg, expressed disappointment over not being able to reveal intimate details about Victoria Zdrok.
In March 2004, after Zdrok was named Penthouse Pet of the Year, Alexander Zdrok again sued to overturn the most recent settlement. Judge Carroll Cody chastised him for filing the suit, but also said that while she did not consider Victoria Zdrok entirely truthful, there was no evidence that she would have known that she was going to receive $100,000 at the time of the settlement.
On December 12, 2009 Victoria admitted that she married Alexander Zdrok primarily with the intention to get a Green Card.
Victoria Zdrok has a daughter, Silvana Maria, with John Wilson.

Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or life:
“Children’s lives are not shaped solely by their families or immediate surroundings at large. That is why we must avoid the false dichotomy that says only government or only family is responsible. . . . Personal values and national policies must both play a role.”
—Hillary Rodham Clinton (20th century)
“I know some of my self-worth comes from tennis, and it’s hard to think of doing something else where you know you’ll never be the best. Tennis players are rare creatures: where else in the world can you know that you’re the best? The definitiveness of it is the beauty of it, but it’s not all there is to life and I’m ready to explore the alternatives.”
—Martina Navratilova (b. 1956)
