Karyna Shuliak, the last known girlfriend of the disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein, was recently observed in New York City. Shuliak, now in her early thirties, was romantically linked with Epstein at the time of his death in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges.
Dressed casually in sweatpants and a t-shirt, Shuliak was seen walking along Fifth Avenue. Originally from Belarus and trained as a dentist, Shuliak's relationship with Epstein reportedly began shortly after his 2010 release from a Florida prison, where he served time for soliciting a minor for prostitution. Reports suggest Epstein financially supported Shuliak's dental education and named her as a beneficiary in one of his trusts.

Shuliak's current residence is uncertain, but records indicate she previously listed Epstein's former Manhattan townhouse as her address. This property was sold in 2021. Her name was also connected to his Palm Beach estate between 2015 and 2018, which was also subsequently sold.
Significantly, Shuliak was reportedly the last person to speak with Epstein before his death. The conversation took place just hours before he was discovered deceased in his jail cell. While the official cause of death was ruled a suicide, the circumstances surrounding his demise continue to generate speculation.

Public records also reveal that Shuliak was briefly married to an individual identified as one of Epstein's victims. The marriage, which took place in 2013, ended in divorce in 2019. Shuliak has not responded to requests for comment.
