When a man and woman get married, no one can accurately predict whether their life together will be long and harmonious. And if, in addition, each of the newlyweds is a beautiful and bright person, a star and a favorite of the public, then it becomes even more difficult to save the family. And yet, such couples exist - we present to you 10 beautiful married tandems of Russian stars.

Victoria Morozova and Anton Makarsky

The star couple Victoria Morozova and Anton Makarsky formed during the production of the musical “Metro” in 1999. Victoria was already an established and successful singer, and the aspiring actor Makarsky lived practically from hand to mouth, which is why he had a terrible complex.

However, already in 2000 the couple got married, and entered into an official marriage only three years later. The couple dreamed of a child, but for a long time nothing worked out for them. Finally, in 2012, Morozova gave birth to a daughter, Masha, and in 2015, at the age of 42, a son, Vanya.

Mikhail Boyarsky and Larisa Luppian

Famous actors Mikhail Boyarsky and Larisa Luppian met in their youth, while studying at the Leningrad Institute of Theater, Music and Cinematography, but did not immediately recognize each other. The editors of uznayvsyo.rf clarify that serious feelings flared up between them later, when they played together in the play “Troubadour and His Friends” at the Lensovet Theater.


For more than three years, Larisa waited for a proposal from the loving Boyarsky, but after that their family life has lasted for more than forty years. The couple has two adult children - including Elizaveta Boyarskaya, who has become a famous actress - and already three grandchildren.

Olga Drozdova and Dmitry Pevtsov

One of the most beautiful celebrity couples, the “song thrushes” have been married for more than 20 years and seem to be absolutely happy. Olga Drozdova and Dmitry Pevtsov met on the set of the film “Walk on the Scaffold,” and the young actors fell in love with each other literally from the very first day. The couple are raising a teenage son.


Angelica Varum and Leonid Agutin

Angelika Varum and Leonid Agutin met at a group concert in 1997. At that time, both of them were not free, and romantic feelings between the artists did not immediately appear. Agutin and Varum became close a little later, after recording the song “Queen” as a duet, while working on the album and touring together.


In 1999, the couple had a daughter, Lisa, but the couple formalized their relationship only two years later. The couple lived for many years, 16 of them in an official marriage. The editors of the site note that several years ago the “barefoot boy” appeared in public drunk and in the arms of an unknown blonde, but his wise wife managed to forgive him, and after that their love found a second wind.

Marina Zudina and Oleg Tabakov

Actress Marina Zudina became the third wife of the legendary actor and director. A 16-year-old girl entered GITIS on a course with Tabakov, whom she considered her idol, and a secret romance quickly began between them.


Marina did not want to ruin Oleg Tabakov’s 35-year marriage with actress Lyudmila Krylova and simply waited for the situation to resolve itself. She had to wait almost 10 years, but this wait was not in vain. The couple lived together until Oleg Pavlovich’s death on March 12, 2018. And even the 30-year age difference did not prevent them from being happy and raising two children.

Vera Alentova and Vladimir Menshov

The love story of Vladimir Menshov and Vera Alentova can be called a swan: they became each other’s first and only love, got married in their second year at the Moscow Art Theater School and recently celebrated their golden wedding. After receiving their diploma, the couple had to separate for a year: Vera remained to work in Moscow, and Vladimir went on assignment to the Stavropol Drama Theater.


After the reunion, the spouses had to wander around the hostels - they did not have their own housing for a long time. Material well-being came to the talented family only after the Oscar-winning film “Moscow Doesn’t Believe in Tears,” in which Menshov starred his wife. Their only daughter Yulia Menshova also became an actress and TV presenter.

Ekaterina and Alexander Strizhenov

Ekaterina and Alexander Strizhenov are one of the most beautiful and friendly couples on Russian television. They met on the set of the film “Leader”, when they were both 14 years old, and got married 4 years later. The length of this star-studded marriage has exceeded 30 years, and the couple raised two daughters. Working together in a television studio makes Ekaterina Strizhenova and her husband Alexander even closer to each other, and their warm relationship is obvious to everyone.


Maya Plisetskaya and Rodion Shchedrin

The legendary ballerina Maya Plisetskaya and composer Rodion Shchedrin were a surprisingly friendly and harmonious couple until her wife’s death in 2015. Before meeting Rodion Konstantinovich, the great artist had several colorful romances and a 3-month marriage with ballet soloist Maris Liepa.


From the first minutes of their acquaintance in Lily Brik's house, Shchedrin captivated Plisetskaya with his extraordinary musical gift, but the love between them flared up only three years later. The entire subsequent 57-year family life took place in an atmosphere of joint creativity. Unfortunately, the couple did not have children.

Marina Maiko and Dmitry Kharatyan

A bright artist and a favorite of the public, he acted in films a lot in his youth, and then chose to become a director. He was already well known when he met the young actress Oksana Fandera. Philip proposed to her a month later, but the young people were in no hurry to get married: in the Yankovsky family it is customary to marry once and for all, and feelings had to be carefully checked.


The official marriage was concluded when Oksana became pregnant, and five years later the family already had two children, a son and a daughter. It is known that during the years of marriage, the husband once began an affair with actress and singer Elena Perova, but he soon returned to the family and received forgiveness from his wife.

James Belushi and Jennifer Sloan

19 years together


For the first time after the October Revolution, complete freedom of morals reigned in the young Land of the Soviets, and adherence to traditional family values ​​was considered old-fashioned. Time returned everything to its place, awareness of the value of the institution of marriage came, public opinion sided with the strong unit of Soviet society. But even then there were public people who lived in two families at the same time.

Mikhail Nikolaevich Tukhachevsky


He was ardent and ambitious, at the age of 42 he became Marshal of the Soviet Union, and his talent as a commander aroused respect not only among his comrades, but also among his enemies. With all this, Mikhail Tukhachevsky was handsome and charming like a man, and from a young age he was popular with women. And he answered them in full reciprocity. Legends could be made about his victories on the love front.

Mikhail Tukhachevsky was officially married three times. The first wife, Maria Ignatieva, accompanied her husband to the fronts during the Civil War, but in 1920 she shot herself in front of her husband after he informed her of the upcoming divorce. The second wife, Lika, whom Tukhachevsky married when she was only 16 years old, left him, unable to put up with her husband’s infidelities.


His third wife was Nina Grinevich, who loved him and was devoted to him. The marriage produced a daughter, Svetlana. Nina knew about her husband’s numerous affairs, just as she knew that he had another family. Fearing that her husband might make a choice not in her favor, she behaved wisely as a woman and never gave him scandals or hysterics. As, indeed, in his second family, his actual wife Yulia, the ex-wife of Baltic Fleet Commissioner Nikolai Kuzmin, was calm about having a wife with her lover. The daughter born to Yulia was also named Svetlana.


Nina Grinevich paid a high price for her devotion to the loving marshal. She was arrested and shot in 1941.

Georgy Konstantinovich Zhukov


Another brilliant military leader, Marshal Zhukov, was not known for his constancy in love. From a young age, he ardently and passionately fell in love with real Russian beauties, strong and hot. Georgy Konstantinovich had a relationship with Alexandra Zuikova, who became his first official wife. However, even before meeting Sashenka, young Georgiy was in love with nurse Maria Volokhova, who gave birth to Georgiy’s daughter Margarita in 1929. Alexandra made her husband happy with the birth of Era in 1928 and Ella in 1937.


Both Zhukov's friends knew about each other's existence. But, if Maria did not demand anything from her beloved, then Alexandra fought for his love as best she could. After the birth of her daughter, she wrote a letter to the management of her common-law husband with a request to oblige him to marry her. Fearing for his military career, Zhukov ended his relationship with Volokhova, but he married Alexandra only in 1953, after another blackmail with writing a letter to the governing bodies.


During the Great Patriotic War, the marshal had another faithful friend who accompanied him along the roads of war, Lydia Zakharova. The relationship with her lasted 9 years, from 1941 to 1950. She herself left Zhukov when Galina Semyonova appeared in his life. In 1965, he divorced Alexandra and married Galina, who by that time was raising their joint daughter Maria, born in 1957.

Isaac Dunaevsky


The famous composer was passionate and loving, having numerous affairs. Officially, he was married twice. His first marriage to Maria Shevtsova broke up four years later, and the second wife of Isaac Dunaevsky was the ballerina Zinaida Sudeikina. In 1932, the couple had a son, Evgeniy. And 7 years after the birth of her first child, Zoya Pashkova, a ballerina of the Bolshoi Theater, gave birth to Isaac Osipovich’s second son, Maxim.



Dunaevsky never hid the fact that he had two families; he cared equally about his two wives and sons. However, this did not stop him from having affairs. It is known that the composer had a long relationship with actress Lydia Smirnova.

Maris Liepa


The first wife of the famous dancer was Maya Plisetskaya, but their marriage was short-lived, and the former spouses categorically refused to comment on this side of their relationship.


The second wife of Maris Liepa was actress Margarita Zhigunova, who gave him two children, Andris and Ilze. Maris and Margarita looked amazing together. In the London press, Margarita was called the Russian Marilyn Monroe. However, the relationship in marriage was never cloudless. Maris was often attracted to women. True, he invariably returned to his family.


In 1980, he nevertheless left the family, immediately entering into a new marriage - with ballerina Nina Semizorova. At the same time, Evgenia Schultz, a costume designer, by the time of his third marriage was already raising Maris Liepa’s daughter Maria, who was born in 1979. Evgenia was his common-law wife for many years, surviving his two marriages and two divorces. Five years later, he broke up with Nina, but he never married Evgenia, although he lived with her until the end of his life.

Valery Zolotukhin


Zolotukhin lived for almost 30 years with his second wife Tamara, but in the last decade of his life he had a second family with actress Irina Lindt, who gave birth to his son Ivan in 2004. Tamara knew about the existence of her beloved husband and about their son together. She even suggested that Zolotukhin go to his beloved. But he categorically refused to divorce his wife.

Alexander Zbruev


The actor lived with his second wife Lyudmila Savelyeva for half a century; together they raised their daughter Natalya. But in 1993, actress Tatyana Shanina gave birth to Zbruev’s daughter Tatyana. It was then that it turned out that for many years the actor lived with two families.

Evgeniy Zharikov


The marriage of Evgeny Zharikov and Natalya Gvozdikova seemed unbreakable. Their son Fyodor was growing up, and happiness seemed so cloudless. However, in 2001, like a bolt from the blue, the news came that Evgeny Zharikov had been in a relationship with Tatyana Seklidova for several years. In the second family, twins Sergei and Ekaterina, born in 1995, grew up. After the actor’s secret wife made their relationship public, he immediately ended the affair. Natalya Gvozdikova forgave her husband.

Creative people are amorous. However, some prefer to lead a parallel life with two families, while others, having barely fallen in love, rush to legitimize their new relationship, sincerely believing that this union will last until the end of their lives.

Brian Molko (42)

Angelina's stormy youth did not pass without sexual adventures with girls. In the 90s, Jolie dated model Jenny Shimizu.

You know, I have a little femininity, and among gays there are so many real men.” Tom also admitted that he doesn’t feel courageous at all: “Many people think that I look courageous, but I don’t think so. Inside I feel like a woman. I would like to be a boy, but I don’t feel like one.”

(40)

Drew Barrymore also had a fun youth. “I understand when women fall in love with each other. In the deepest female friendships there is always physical love. And if you ask me if I like women, I will answer yes. Do they excite me sexually? Yes, I personally put more than one of them into bed.” There were also rumors at one time that Barrymore and Cameron Diaz were having an affair. She also had a very close relationship with Courtney Love (50).

In turn, Diaz fully supports Drew’s opinion and believes that “it’s completely normal when one girl is attracted to another girl.”

(29)

Draws attention to women and Lady Gaga: “I love sex, and it doesn’t matter to me what gender my partner is, but my boyfriends don’t understand this. They're scared that I like women.

The scandalous Lindsay Lohan is always willing to experiment. “I feel equally good with both a man and a woman. I'm not a lesbian. I love people, and it doesn't matter to me what gender they are. If today I sleep with a woman, this does not mean that tomorrow I will not choose a man,” said the actress.

Fergie (40)

Fergie also speaks absolutely calmly about her passions. “I won’t hide the fact that I had sexual relations with women, but I never entered into long-term relationships with them. I admire the female body, but now I have a completely different story in my life, I am a faithful wife and belong to one and only beloved man.”

David Bowie (68)

David Bowie told Playboy magazine back in 1967 that he was bisexual and really liked it. “I don’t consider my confession a mistake. But for America it turned out to be a little reckless.
