“Suddenly putting on makeup?” : Russian stars who hid a divorce for years

Nothing lasts forever: sometimes people meet, fall in love, make common plans for the future, but end up breaking up. In this difficult period, it is especially difficult for the stars: it is very difficult to experience their emotions under the magnifying glass of curious fans and the media. Perhaps that’s why the heroes of our material strove to make their breakup known only when the pain subsided (and new love was found!).

The other day, Anastasia Stotskaya, on Yulia Baranovskaya’s show for Russian radio, talked about the musical Chess, where she plays one of the main roles. As in the meantime, the artist admitted that the love drama unfolds not only on stage, but also in life.

It turned out that Anastasia broke up with her second husband Sergei Abgaryan (the singer’s first husband was actor Alexei Sekirin). Everything would be fine – that’s life, we understand – only the breakup of the spouses happened two years ago!

“For more than two years, my husband and I have not lived together. Sometimes people disagree, and I am very happy that we parted ways on good terms. Dad is present in the children’s lives every day. He spends with them every vacation, every weekend. Takes the eldest to football, chess. I have only good memories of this man, “stotskaya confessed.

Asked about the reasons for the breakup, Anastasia answered briefly: at some point she and her husband became strangers to each other. The singer added that the subject was painful for her, so she carefully concealed the fact of the breakup.

In 2017, Ekaterina Varnava solemnly announced that she had accepted a marriage proposal from her lover Konstantin Myakinkov, whom she had been dating for a few years at that time. “I have a dream dress – from Ulyana Sergienko, so lush, perfectly white. I saw him live and fell in love. Before this dress, I had never wanted a puffy one. I want to be completely different that day. I want him to see me and say I’ve never looked better,” the Comedy Woman star confessed. True, she immediately added that the wedding was postponed due to the busy schedules of both.

Months, years passed, with each new interview Catherine was asked the same question: “When is the wedding?” And each time the actress found new excuses, until she finally announced that she did not need marriage – they say, it’s time to think about children right now. But the lovers were in no hurry with this point in their plans.

Finally, in 2020, during an interview with Ksenia Sobchak, Barnabas shed light on what is happening in her life. It turned out that Ekaterina and Konstantin had already parted for a year! Ex-lovers hid this fact even from friends, continued to date for some time and posted joint photos on social networks. The comedian immediately added that the separation was peaceful, that there were no betrayals. “It was hard for us. But marriage wouldn’t have changed those relationships, and the kids probably should have started earlier. Our relationship became something too close. We had been together for six years, and over the early years, our schedules saved us,” Barnabas said.

Catherine noted that she and Konstantin never became parents for two reasons: at first he was not ready, then the actress had health problems. To solve them, it was necessary to refuse tours for almost a year, which Barnabas could not afford. She also started the rift, realizing that these relationships do not develop in any way and lead to nothing.

A year after the breakup, Catherine and Konstantin were able to calmly talk about their breakup, since the personal life of both of them was already established. Recall, it soon became known that Barnabas was dating director Alexander Molochnikov (although, according to rumors, the guys had already broken up). The moral of this fable is this: sometimes it is worth taking a decisive and very painful step to be happy again.

Here are the record holders of our selection. In 2017, the news came like thunder that Lyubov Tolkalina and Yegor Konchalovsky broke up after 20 years of marriage. And to be more precise – after 13 years, since the spouses hid their breakup for 7 years! “At first it was very difficult, and I caught myself thinking that I just wasn’t able to talk to anyone about it. It’s buried inside me,” Love confessed during their joint interview with Yegor.

“Everything in the world has a beginning and an end. In this case, the end is long overdue. Thank God it all ended well. But there really is an “after life”, and this life is easier to lead when we put all the “and” – so that everyone can do what they want and with whom they want. Lyuba and I decided that the time had come when we had to tell everything about everything, ”ex-lover Konchalovsky echoed.

And yet, the ex-spouses were a bit cunning: the real reason for talking about the breakup was the pregnancy of the director’s new lover, lawyer Maria Leonova, who in April 2017, a few months after the interview, told him gave birth son Timur.

Yegor and Lyubov assured that they parted as friends, but they could not hide their resentment against each other: no, no, beards crept into the interviews of the ex-spouses, who did not ‘, however, received no further development and did not turn into a scandal. For example, Konchalovsky called Tolkalina lazy and windy, and she found it unacceptable that she did not wait for a marriage proposal.

The separation from another couple became known in 2017. Then, barely appearing in the studio of Andrei Malakhov, Evelina Bledans with tears in her eyes announced that she had been divorced for a year. The actress did not hide that it is still difficult for her to accept the fact that her husband left her. And at first she sincerely hoped that he would return, perhaps that’s why she was in no hurry to make an official statement about the divorce. “I’m going to say a terrible thing, but I think he left me so I could be happy again. I’m probably a fool, I always justify my men. So, it’s about me, I wasn’t good enough…” and despair echoed in Evelina’s voice.

In an attempt to bring her husband back, Bledans even decided to have mammoplasty. “I still understand that I would like to return it, so a new breast in the same piggy bank to be beautiful and desirable. Deep down I understand that I want Sasha back. Although it is impossible to enter two times in the same river,” the actress confessed.

Semin then laid out his version of events. According to him, there was always a step between him and his wife. “It’s hard for me to talk about us in the past tense. Our child is special, and the marriage was special, with a syndrome. There was always another person between us, and his name was “spectator”. Evelina received the greatest pleasure, the maximum joy of work, ”concluded Alexander.

The reconciliation that Evelina hoped for did not happen. After a while, Alexander met a new love, and not so long ago he became a father for the second time. Bledans is still looking for her prince on a white horse.
