Businessman, figure skater: who met Laysan Utyasheva before Pavel Volya

The first chosen one from Laysan Utyasheva was figure skater Alexei Yagudin. Their relationship lasted six months. Both were young and hot, wondering about each other and not wanting to compromise. Yagudin was in great demand among the girls and manipulated him. Laysan could not stand it and broke up with the athlete.

In 2010, reports appeared that Laysan was dating Georgian businessman Valery Lomadze. The man made generous gifts to his beloved, promised mountains of gold. Utyasheva had no soul in him. She said he was the only one who understood her. But in 2012, the man suddenly sued his beloved. He said that a year earlier he gave his chosen one 18 million rubles to buy an apartment. Didn’t take receipt but want refund. Laysan calmly reacted to Lomadze’s claims. Despite the fact that the court decided not to pay the debt, she nevertheless returned part of the money to him. This is where the love story ends.

Almost immediately after breaking up with Lomadze, it became known about Laysan’s marriage to Pavel Volya. The showman made a beautiful marriage proposal to his chosen one during a performance at the Comedy Club. The whole room was crying, including the bride.

Eight years have passed, and Laysan and Pavel are still in love with each other. Every year, on their wedding day, they give each other romantic surprises and exchange gifts.

We have collected 10 facts and prepared a comprehensive biography of Laysan Utyasheva.

Laysan Utyasheva and Pavel Volya have known each other since 2005. The athlete came to the Comedy Club with her mother. The latter, after the comedian’s speech, advised me to pay attention to him. She said that since he can joke around so well without getting vulgar, he is smart and talented. Laysan and Pavel had been friends for a long time. They started dating when Laysan’s mother was no longer alive. According to the athlete, her former coach Irina Viner found out about their relationship. She asked to call Pavel on the phone. I talked with him for a long time, then I said to Laysan: “A cool man.”

Today it is hard to believe, but Laysan Utyasheva, whose sports achievements are connected with rhythmic gymnastics, did not want to practice this sport. She recalled how, at the age of four, she saw Maya Plisetskaya on TV and decided that she should be a ballerina. She wrapped herself in white toilet paper, imagining it was a tutu, and danced home. According to Laysan, she was not taken to ballet school, but a rhythmic gymnastics coach noticed her in the store. The girl was invited to the section. She went reluctantly. But when I saw the girls dancing there, I ran towards them. At the age of seven, Laysan was seriously interested in gymnastics. According to her, she felt the pleasant weight of the medals and the urge to dance faded.

Laysan Utyasheva is a gymnast, so since childhood she not only worked hard, but also followed a strict diet. She remembers as a child her mother gave her a piece of chicken with cucumber and a casserole of cottage cheese at school. Laysan saw her classmates eating sausage sandwiches with pleasure and decided that when she had money, she would definitely spend it on this delicacy. According to Utyasheva, having earned money, she asked the store to sell her a pound of boiled sausage. Asked by her mother, Laysan said she had never tried it but really wanted to, causing shock among shoppers who thought the child was being bullied. The gymnast bought the sausage, but on the way Zulfiya Utyasheva did educational work with her. On her way home, she swapped the sausage for a neighbor’s kilo of tomatoes.

At the age of 17, Laysan’s navicular bone was crushed. She spent many hours in the operating room and then spent two months in the hospital. According to the athlete, she got used to a different rhythm of life, so she began to feel depressed without work. She was brought back to life by commentator Vasily Utkin. He arranged a trip to a nightclub and almost forced Laysan to go with him. Utyasheva recalled that in company she felt lighter and could dance.

When Laysan was 11, his mother was offered a job in Moscow. The grandparents were ready to take their granddaughter to support, but the coach insisted that the girl live with her, as she was afraid her relatives would feed her and she would lose her form. The mother agreed, and Laysan found herself in difficult circumstances. According to her memories, she received cheese, kiwi and green tea for breakfast. At lunch, the coach gave him yogurt and chicken broth with brown bread, and for dinner only yogurt. Mom sent money, but Laysan did not receive it, because the coach was afraid that they would go for sweets and buns. As a result, the athlete, according to her, began to look like a concentration camp prisoner. She developed psychosis due to malnutrition. Mom Laysan Utyasheva, having learned about her daughter’s suffering, took her to Moscow, saying that a healthy and cheerful daughter is more important than sports achievements.

Albert, Utyasheva’s father, went into business in the 1990s, but went bankrupt and got into debt. Once, after training, Laysan got into his car and found that an unknown driver was driving. The man said he would take her to a place and Dad would pick her up soon. When her father didn’t come for two days, Laysan suspected something was wrong. She remembers that the kidnappers treated her well, fed her and after a few days they returned her to her mother.

True fans not only know the answer to the question of how many children Laysan Utyasheva has, but also the names of each of them – Robert and Sofia. But not everyone knows that they are named after Utyasheva’s relatives. Laysan said the grandmother suggested her son’s name. She said that it is not necessary to wait for the birth of a child to choose a name, and it is worth naming her son in honor of the second cousin of Laysan Robert. The foreign name perfectly took root in Bashkiria and became familiar to the population of the republic. Her daughter Sophia Laysan is named after her mother. So Zulfiya called herself abroad, because it was difficult for foreigners to pronounce her real name.

In 2018, in an interview, Laysan Utyasheva said that a woman should be able to cook and keep the house in order. Netizens accused her of arrogance, sexism and house-building propaganda. Laysan was forced to state that her lyrics were the result of an unsuccessful setup. She just wanted to say that the ability to take care of the house is always important for women. They can realize themselves in any area, but if they can at the same time create comfort in the house, they become completely independent.

In 2008, Laysan performed at a private party in London. After the performance, actor Orlando Bloom came to meet her. They talked for a long time about something. Then journalists learned that the stars met in Los Angeles. Then there were rumors that Laysan and Orlando had an affair, despite the actor having a girlfriend. Utyasheva herself did not deny the fact of acquaintance, but did not tell anyone about the content of her conversations with Bloom, so there were rumors that the athlete broke her heart.

Albert Utyashev, Laysan’s father, after a business failure, began to drink and periodically raised his hand to his mother. According to the gymnast, she was afraid of him from the age of 10 and suggested that her mother leave. Mom explained to her that her father was seriously ill and needed help. Once Laysan, protecting his mother, hit his father with a gymnastic mace and broke the projectile. According to Utyasheva, she felt sorry for the mace, which was expensive and brought from Japan.
