A Russian celebrity, Ksenia Sobchak, recently shared an amusing anecdote about an awkward date with former Vancouver Canucks star, Pavel Bure. The story has sparked interest in the media, especially given the rumored relationship between the two in the early 2000s. Despite the speculation, neither Sobchak nor Bure confirmed their romantic involvement.
During an episode of her YouTube show, 'Caution: Sobchak', Sobchak recounted a memorable evening with Bure. She described a romantic setting with a fireplace, candles, and a cozy atmosphere. However, the date took an unexpected turn when Bure suggested watching his best goals.
Sobchak, who is not a hockey enthusiast, found the idea less than captivating. She admitted, 'I have absolutely no clue about hockey. I have no idea how it's played. I know you need sticks, and that's it.' The following two hours were spent with Bure showcasing his highlight reel, which left Sobchak feeling underwhelmed.
Despite the awkwardness, Sobchak humorously concluded, 'Pavel, sorry, you're great, love you.' The date occurred after Bure's retirement from the NHL and his return to Moscow, where rumors of their relationship had sparked. Bure later married Alina Bure in 2009, and they have three children together. Sobchak, being the daughter of former Russian mayor Anatoly Sobchak, seems to have no hard feelings towards Bure, finding the experience amusing rather than embarrassing.
