She worked at Yenakiyeve Iron and Steel Works, in the design and appraisal bureau. She was a specialist of the Enakievmetalurgbud Trust.
She married Viktor Yanukovych in 1971. In February 2017, Viktor stated that he had divorced Lyudmyla after 45 years of marriage. With her ex-husband, Lyudmila Yanukovych had two sons, Oleksandr and Viktor, and three grandsons, Viktor, Oleksandr and Iliya.[2] From 2006 to 2014, the younger Viktor was a member of the Parliament of Ukraine; he died in 2015.
