Lopatova first studied in Moscow, where she earned a BA in Linguistics from the University of Foreign Languages in 1995 and an MBA from the Academy of National Economy in 1997.

Masha and Andrei eventually met through her work with the marketing firm, and shortly after, they married.
The couple moved to the United States later in 2001 when Andrei Kirilenko, who had been drafted by the NBA's Utah Jazz in 1999, joined the team.[4] In 2011, Andrei and Masha became American citizens.[5] Masha was in fashion distribution and retail business called “Made in USA” as well as fashion consulting “Fashion IQ”. Currently, she is the owner of Real Housekeepers project, which is an online magazine and store focused on a healthy way of life, nutrition, mindfulness, and psychology. They have three sons and one daughter: Fedor (b. 2002)[4] Stepan (b. 2007)[6] daughter Sasha (b. 2005), and Andrei (b. 2015). In the USA, Masha and Andrei started a charitable organization, Kirilenko's Kids, to help underprivileged children both locally and in Russia.
