Ovechkin is married to Anastasia Shubskaya, a Russian model and the daughter of the late actress Vera Glagoleva. The couple first met at the Beijing Olympics in 2008, but met again a few years later and got married in 2016.
With Ovechkin, his wife shares two sons: Sergei, born in 2018 and named after Ovechkin’s late brother, and Ilya, born in 2020.
In the same year they were expecting their second child, Ovechkin told The Washington Post about his love for fatherhood. «I was waiting for the moment when my child would be with me in the locker room», - he said. «The culture we have here is something special, and all the guys love kids, and he will have fun too».
In an interview with Hello Magazine Russia in 2022, Ovechkin said he hopes to have more children with his wife. «I hope we have at least five in the family, and preferably six — that’s my dream», - he said.
Shubskaya added that their son Sergei naturally became interested in hockey. «Sergei really loves hockey, but we never forced him to play», - she said.
«Yes, we are not tied to any particular sport», - added the hockey player. «Whatever he chooses, he chooses. As soon as he started walking well, he almost immediately picked up a stick. We even have a video of him throwing a puck on a hook at two years old, it flips in the air, and he catches it. Even adults don’t always manage to do this trick».
As of 2025, Ovechkin’s net worth is estimated to be around $ 80 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth
