In February 2016, Romanova unexpectedly disappeared from the Deriugina School of Rhythmic Gymnastics and the Ukrainian Rhythmic Gymnastics National Team (which led to a scandal in the Ukrainian RG Federation). The Ukrainian media said that parents took her away from Ukraine and that she allegedly decided to change her nationality to compete for the Russian Federation.[7] However, in late 2016 it was confirmed that Romanova was granted Russian citizenship.[8] Romanova is currently trained by Evgenia Kanaeva, and was originally set to compete for Russia in 2017 - however, since Ukraine disagreed with letting her change nationality, Romanova is to wait until 2018 when her current FIG License expires before she is allowed to compete for Russia where she will renew her FIG License.
