Personal life Guzenina first married at the age of 18 to Finnish businessman John Lindell, and then subsequently married an American man named Randolpf Bowes.

Guzenina has given interviews in Finland about her dysfunctional family. Born to a Finnish father (who was of German descent through his mother) and a Russian mother from Ulan-Ude, she was raised by her single mother as an only child. In the spring of 2013, Russia accused Finland of mistreating Russian-origin families in the child welfare services. Guzenina replied that in Finland all are treated equally and one can even become a minister with Russian background. Guzenina is fluent in Russian, Finnish and English. Before she became MTV VJ, Guzenina co-hosted the Kolmoskanava talk show Tänään, tässä ja nyt (fi) with Timo T. A. Mikkonen (fi) from 1987–1989, and also worked as a freelance journalist for Radio City, YLE Radio Aino and Radio Nova. She also hosted an advertising campaign (1994-1995) about study and job prospects in Europe with an educational rather than entertaining emphasis. Guzenina is a high school graduate.
