Models of static spherically-symmetric stellar configurations are discussed within the framework of the Bimetric scalar-tensor theory of gravity. The latter, in addition to the metric tensor and the scalar field, contains a background metric tensor as an absolute variable of the theory. The simplest variant of the theory with a constant coupling parameter and with a zero cosmological function is considered. The analysis includes both the white dwarfs and neutron stars. It is shown that, depending on the value of the theory parameter, the corresponding masses can be notably larger than those in general relativity.
