Ladies and Gentlemen:

This opinion is being furnished in connection with the Registration Statement on Form N-14 (the “Registration Statement”) being filed today by Voya Variable Portfolios, Inc. (the “Company”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), relating to the proposed acquisition by Voya Index Plus LargeCap Portfolio, a series of the Company (the “Acquiring Portfolio”), of all the assets of Voya Multi-Manager Large Cap Core Portfolio, a series of Voya Investors Trust (the “Acquired Portfolio”), and the issuance of Class ADV, Class I, and Class S shares of beneficial interest of the Acquiring Portfolio in connection therewith (collectively, the “Shares”), all in accordance with the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization to be entered into by the Company, on behalf of the Acquiring Portfolio, and Voya Investors Trust, on behalf of the Acquired Portfolio (the “Agreement and Plan of Reorganization”), in substantially the form included as Appendix A to the proxy statement/prospectus that is part of the Registration Statement.

In connection with this opinion, we have examined the form of Agreement and Plan of Reorganization. We have examined such certificates, documents, and records and have made such investigation of fact and such examination of law as we have deemed appropriate in order to enable us to render the opinion set forth herein. In conducting such investigation, we have relied, without independent verification, upon certificates of officers of the Company, public officials and other appropriate persons.

We have assumed, for the purposes of this opinion, that, prior to the date of the issuance of the Shares, the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization will have been duly executed and delivered by each party thereto in the form included as Appendix A to the proxy statement/prospectus that is part of the Registration Statement and will constitute a legal, valid, and binding obligation of the Company, on behalf of the Acquiring Portfolio.

In rendering the opinion expressed herein, we have, with your approval, relied solely on the opinion, dated the date hereof, of Venable LLP insofar as such opinion relates to the laws of the State of Maryland (subject to all of the assumptions and qualifications to which such opinion is subject), and we have made no independent examination of the laws of that jurisdiction. We are providing a copy of that opinion together with this opinion, which is subject to the same assumptions as those set forth in the opinion of Venable LLP attached hereto.

Based upon and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the issuance of the Class ADV, Class I, and Class S shares of the Acquiring Portfolio pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization has been duly authorized and that, when and if issued and delivered in accordance with the resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors of the Company relating to the authorization of the registration, sale, and issuance of the Shares and the approval of the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, and the Registration Statement, the Shares will be validly issued, fully paid, and nonassessable.

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and to the references to our firm as legal counsel for the Company in the Registration Statement. This consent shall not constitute an acknowledgment that we are within the category of persons whose consent is required by Section 7 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder.

We consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement.

Very truly yours,

/s/Ropes & Gray LLP
