Infidelity, illness, abortion: what is behind the longest marriages of Russian stars

These are the dramas that unfolded in the families of the strongest couples in Russian show business.

Natalya Senchukova Victor Rybin is rightly considered one of the strongest couples in Russian show business. They have been together for more than 30 years: they met in 1990 and married in 1998. But behind this idyllic story lies a lot of pain, drama, loss and trials.

Victor saw Natalia, who was a dancer, backstage at a music festival and allegedly disappeared. At that time, Rybin was married, and his daughter Masha was growing up. But the man couldn’t do anything about his feelings. Senchukova also suffered – at one point she even had an abortion, because she did not want to give birth to a married man, and Victor was dragging his feet in explaining himself to his wife. As a result, Rybin finally confessed everything to his wife, divorced and made a long-awaited proposal to Natalya. She was pregnant again at that time. In February 1999, their son Vasily, already legally married, was born.

It would seem that the lovers could now enjoy their happiness, but life had prepared a series of new trials for them. Rybin’s mother became seriously ill: she was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease. All my strength had to be devoted to caring for a woman who forgot names and no longer recognized her loved ones. Subsequently, Rybin took his death seriously, because he was always close to his mother, and she was his support and, before his illness, helped raise his grandson Vasya. Then misfortune happened to Senchukova – one after another her parents died. Well, hard rock hit the spouses themselves – both were diagnosed with skin cancer, which, fortunately, later went into remission. However, the trials seem to have only strengthened the couple’s love: they are always together and support each other.

Leonid Agutin and Anzhelika Varum have been together since 1997 and got married in 2000. In their marriage they had a daughter, Elizabeth-Maria. The spouses formed not only a family, but also a successful creative tandem. But this story was not without pitfalls, on which the family boat of love almost collided.

Rumors about the couple’s alleged divorce have repeatedly appeared in the press, but the spouses have always rejected them. True, in the end it turned out that in their joint life everything did not always go well. There were quarrels and crises, but, according to the spouses, they eventually managed to agree on everything. The loudest scandal broke out when Agutin was hugged by a stranger at one of the parties in Jurmala. Then Varum, according to his confession, thought about divorce, but ultimately forgave his beloved.

However, Agutin’s revelation that he and Angelica sleep in different beds – it’s more comfortable for both of them – also resonated with audiences. Varum, in turn, called sex after 50 an “act of mercy.”

In 2023, one of the most shocking couples celebrated their 20th wedding anniversary. They have already been scammed several times in the press, but the stars react calmly to these rumors. Koroleva assures that despite their long family life, they retained in their relationship the passion of their first dates and even boasted of a rich intimate life.

At the same time, Koroleva did not hide the fact that Tarzan deceived her. The left turn of a stripper thundered throughout the country and became the main topic of scandalous talk shows. Glushko’s on-screen mistress spoke in detail about her relationship with him.

But Korolev forgave her husband – and does not worry at all when she has to spend time separately with her husband.

The couple have a common son, Arkhip, who is already 21 years old.
