A RUSSIAN beauty queen at the centre of a divorce row with the former King of Malaysia has challenged him to take a paternity test after he disowned their son.

Oksana Voevodina, 27, converted to Islam and married Sultan Muhammad V, 49, last year when he abdicated the throne for her last November.

But the Sultan now claims the pair have divorced and that he has "disinherited" their two-month-old baby Leon, as he doesn't believe he's the father.

Oksana's friends insist their marriage is still valid and have rubbished claims that the child could belong to someone else, reports Mail Online.

Now living with baby Leon in a country house near Moscow, Oksana demands a "public apology" from the former king.

Her close friend Liliya Nastaeva, 32, said today of the Sultan's fatherhood claims: "What nonsense.

"We are very sorry that his royal, though former, highness chose such a talkative and unprofessional lawyer.

"All people close to Oksana - her parents, friends, family - are waiting for a public apology from him.

"And if (the former king) has some suspicions, then he can always do a DNA test. Oksana, for her part, is ready for this - I can tell you as I am her closest friend.

"If Oksana had ever shown the face of a child, no one would have any doubts, because father and son share one face."

DIVORCE CLAIMS

Royal sources claim the Sultan intends to "provide for" the mother and baby, but they have not received royal titles.

The couple got married on June 7, 2018, when Muhammad V still ruled as King of Malaysia.

They had a second ceremony in November the same year, and details were leaked to the media.

When sordid details of the beauty queen's past came to light, concerns grew in conservative Malaysia.

A series of raunchy modelling pictures surfaced, and she had even taken part in a reality TV show in which she was filmed having sex in a swimming pool.

Facing growing pressure, Sultan Muhammad V dramatically gave up his throne in January this year to be with the Russian model.

The abdication was the first for the country since its independence from British rule in 1957.

The Sultan's lawyers claim the couple have now divorced after a ceremony in which Muhammad V rejected his wife three times in the presence of witnesses.

But the proceedings were shrouded in secrecy and Kelantan officials earlier denied any knowledge of them.

Oksana has not commented directly on the latest updates but posted: "When you are a good person, you don't lose people, people lose you."

Earlier she insisted she was "so proud that Malaysian blood flows in the veins of my son", also saying she hoped one day he would be Malaysian king.
