First ladies and gentlemen of Bulgaria
spouse of the President of Bulgaria
First Lady of Bulgaria (Bulgarian: Първа дама на България, romanized: Parva dama na Balgariya) or First Gentleman of Bulgaria is an unofficial honorific applied to the spouse of the president of Bulgaria. Officially, her term as first lady is concurrent with her husband's term in office. The first lady often accompanies the head of state during state visits and official functions. The title of First Lady was first used in Bulgaria in the early 1990s, following the example of the United States.
The current first gentleman of the Republic of Bulgaria is Andrey Yotov, the husband of the 6th president of Bulgaria, Iliana Iotova. At present, there have been five first ladies of the Republic of Bulgaria, including Radeva.

Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as spouse of the President of Bulgaria. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 10, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q20497605. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
