Vera Alentova and Vladimir Menshov

Family experience: 54 years

Children: Julia (48 years old)

Creative people don't get along easily. Vladimir Menshov and Vera Alentova will definitely agree with this. In the family of the famous 78-year-old film director of such films as “Moscow Does Not Believe in Tears” and “Love and Doves”, and the famous 75-year-old actress, disputes and conflicts constantly do not subside, but ... they have been together for 54 years and cannot imagine that life would have turned out differently.

Vladimir Menshov and Vera Alentova got married in 1963, when both were students at the Moscow Art Theater School. The honored film director recalled this event in an interview with Interlocutor:

By today's standards, our wedding was more like a horror movie. We arrived at the registry office by tram, where the employees opened a bottle of champagne for us, although we did not ask for it. We didn’t even have three rubles to pay off, since the witnesses scraped together a trifle.

modestly married and went to student hostel celebrate an event with classmates. And on June 28, 1969, the couple had a daughter, Julia, now a popular TV presenter, theater and film actress.

For 54 years of marriage, the couple experienced a lot - numerous shootings, performances, constant absence from home and work for wear and tear ... At some point, the disorder of the common life even led to parting. But Vera Alentova believes that this period of their life was necessary to maintain relations. In an interview with Arguments and Facts, the actress admitted:

We then were able to understand the main thing - that happiness happened in our life when we met. And that our feelings were pure, hot and beautiful. Apparently, I was destined for this particular person, and he - for me.

Today famous couple participates in joint projects, for example, in the play “Love. Letters, directed by their daughter Julia. And until now, Vladimir Menshov never ceases to admire the industriousness and stamina of his wife, and Vera Alentova describes her husband as a reverent father and grandfather (grandchildren Andrey, 19 years old, and Taisiya, 14 years old. - Ed.).

Creative and emotional people? Yes. Real love? Also yes.

Tatiana and Nikita Mikhalkov

Family experience: 44 years

Children: Anna (43 years old), Artem (41 years old), Nadezhda (31 years old)

When Nikita Mikhalkov and Tatyana Solovieva ( maiden name Tatyana Evgenievna. - approx. ed.) met at the screening of Rolan Bykov’s film “Telegram” at the Cinema House, both of them already had one marriage behind them, and the famous director was growing up little son Stepan ( common child Nikita Mikhalkov and Anastasia Vertinskaya, 51 years old. - approx. ed.).

Nevertheless, according to Tatyana Evgenievna, she immediately realized that she was gone.

Such energy, charm, confidence came from him, and also these mustaches and the smell of patchouli. I immediately died, flew after him like a moth to a fire ...

She recalls in an interview with Woman`s day.

But the lovers did not manage to get together right away - shortly after the meeting, Nikita Mikhalkov was drafted into the army and sent to serve in Kamchatka. The director did not forget about the beautiful girl and wrote touching letters, which Tatyana remembers with special trepidation.

Returning from the army ahead of schedule and not finding his beloved at the old place of residence (Tatiana was forced to move. - Ed.), Nikita Mikhalkov and his friend Sergei Solovyov went in search. Tatyana told Woman`s day:

They went to look for me in the winter, in a snowstorm, not knowing the exact address, only the street. We wandered between the identical houses of the sleeping area and knocked on the first apartments that came across.

Doesn't it remind you of anything?

The romantic story ended happily - the couple got married in 1973.

Today, the 72-year-old director continues to lead a brilliant creative activity, and 70-year-old Tatyana looks after life and runs her own charitable foundation, Russian Silhouette. In addition, the couple raised three children in common, who gave star parents six grandchildren.

Ekaterina and Alexander Strizhenov

Family experience: 30 years

Children: Anastasia (29 years old), Alexandra (16 years old)

This star couple can truly be called an example to follow. Love and mutual respect reign in every word and action of the Strizhenovs. Alexander himself reveals the secret of success in an interview with Arguments and Facts:

Family life is team game. You play against the world around you, not against each other. Sometimes young couples confuse cause and effect relationships and compete with each other. It's absolutely pointless.

But the relationship between the artists did not develop so smoothly - having first met on film set film "Leader", young Catherine and Alexander ... did not like each other!

But the filming process gradually brought the actors closer, and in 1987, barely reaching adulthood, the lovers got married. And they didn’t just get married, but got married, which Alexander especially insisted on.

A year after the wedding, in 1988, the couple had a daughter, Anastasia (in 2013 she married financier Pyotr Grishchenko, lives in New York with her chosen one. - Ed.). Nastya really wanted a brother or sister, and in 2000 her parents fulfilled her desire - Alexandra was born.

Ekaterina and Alexander Strizhenov - touching and caring parents Therefore, the successful career of both did not interfere with the upbringing of children. Ekaterina shares that her husband spends a lot of time with his daughters and simply adores them.

In addition, personal life and work are separated - on joint projects, Alexander is strict with his wife, and Catherine admires how clearly he knows what he wants to see in her. And at home, the actress allows her husband and daughter Sasha to relax and be themselves - do not make the bed, do not wash the dishes, leave candy wrappers in a vase for sweets.

However, romance still does not leave their relationship today, and the spouses are still ready for a lot. For example, to this (from an interview with Alexander Strizhenov to Telenedele):

When I was editing the picture “Grandfather of my dreams”, I suddenly saw my wife with different eyes. And do you believe? - fell in love again - with her acting talent, feminine beauty. I immediately wanted to match her, and I went on a strict diet, lost 50 kilograms in a few months.

This year celebrity couple celebrated the 30th pearl wedding anniversary with a trip to Shanghai. The couple visited the pearl village, from where Catherine brought a commemorative bracelet of 26 pearls.

Looking at this happy couple, understand: real love exists.

Marina and Valentin Yudashkin

Family experience: 29 years

Children: Galina (26 years old)

The love story of Marina and Valentin Yudashkin began in 1987 with joint work over the show - Marina was responsible for hairstyles, Valentine created outfits. It didn't take long for the lovers beautiful words and lengthy courtship to understand: they are meant for each other.

After only three dates, Valentin made an offer to Marina, after another 10 days the couple applied to the registry office, and three months later, in January 1988, they got married. Once and forever.

For 29-year-old Marina and 24-year-old Valentin, this marriage was the first and only, and the spouses are still confident in each other and their feelings.

I am a conservative, I have a family. And point. Cheating can only happen from a lack of brains in a husband or wife,

Valentin Yudashkin stated categorically in an interview with Arguments and Facts.

In love with her work, Marina nevertheless left model business to devote himself to caring for her husband and newborn daughter Galina (the girl was born on December 22, 1990. - ed.), and does not regret this decision at all.

At the beginning of his dizzying career, Valentin experienced serious difficulties, and his wife was always there to support the talented fashion designer and surround him with comfort. Marina sincerely believed in the genius of her husband and was ready for anything for him.

It is not surprising that Valentin Yudashkin considers his wife his muse and idolizes her, which he boldly spoke about in an interview with Woman Journal:

To say: “I am grateful to her” is to say nothing. I greatly appreciate the fact that she dedicated her life to me. She believed in me ... It was very difficult to break through, but she was there in those years.

Daughter Galina grew up, married Pyotr Maksakov, the grandson of actress Lyudmila Maksakova, and in 2016 Valentin and Marina became grandparents. And recently it became known that soon the little grandson of Anatoly will have a brother or sister.

Today Marina Yudashkina has returned to the world of fashion and works with her star husband. And just like that, by cooperating, respecting and supporting each other, the couple managed to carry their love through 29 years. life together.

Oksana Fandera and Philip Yankovsky

Family experience: 27 years

Children: Ivan (27 years old), Elizabeth (22 years old)

The Yankovsky clan has an immutable rule - marriages in this family are made once and for life. And these are not just words: famous Soviet actor and film director Oleg Yankovsky lived with his wife, honored artist Lyudmila Zorina, for 47 years of marriage, until his death in 2009.

In this, the son is clearly like his father - in 2017, director Philip Yankovsky and theater and film actress Oksana Fandera celebrated 27 years since the wedding.

The star couple met at the birthday party of a mutual friend in 1988, and their feelings flared up instantly. Oksana recalls their first meeting in an interview with Komsomolskaya Pravda:

On his part, I felt a pathological curiosity about my figure. My sociability, openness at a meeting are not always adequately assessed ... Philip is very reserved, therefore, even if he has some moments of dissatisfaction, he does not show it in any way. Maybe that's what bought me. He showed me that this burden is not heavy for him.

Philip's famous parents at first reacted coldly to their son's beloved, but Oksana's pregnancy put everything in its place - a new family member entered the Yankovsky clan, and in 1990 the couple got married. Already on October 30 of the same year, their first-born Ivan was born, and four years later, on May 1, 1995, the couple had a daughter, Elizabeth.

Oksana's mother helped the young with raising children, because, according to the actress herself, it was difficult for her and her husband to raise children - impulsive and artistic by nature, they allowed their son and daughter too much, becoming more friends than strict parents.

Lisa is four years younger than Vanka. When they were together - it's a disaster, just nuclear war. Vanya talked to me like this: “You are a girl, what kind of mother are you!”,

The actress shared with Komsomolskaya Pravda.

Unfortunately, the love story of two bright personalities Philip Yankovsky and Oksana Fandera cannot be called cloudless - the couple survived the director's addiction to drugs, and rumors of betrayal by both partners arose more than once in the press.

But despite life's difficulties, the couple still remains together. Oksana Fandera, who celebrates her 50th birthday on November 7, reveals the secret of their warm relationship to Komsomolskaya Pravda:

I never torment Philip with jealousy, suspicions. I don’t sort things out, I don’t dictate my conditions, I don’t set ultimatums, realizing that creative person should be free.

Emma and Alexander Malinin

Family experience: 27 years

Children: twins Frol and Ustinya (16 years old)

The star couple of the Malinins found their common happiness as already adults, accomplished people. 32-year-old Alexander had already been divorced twice by that time and raised two children - Nikita (36 years old) and Kira (31 years old). 28-year-old Emma also experienced a break with her first husband and raised her son Anton.

The story of their love began at Alexander's concert - Emma saw the singer on stage and instantly fell in love, and on February 13, 1990, the couple got married.

Alexander Malinin described it this way family life in an interview with Radio Dacha:

Emma is purposeful, active - a whirlwind and an organizer. I am calm and lazy. She is drawn to accomplishments, and I - to lie in bed. We complement each other perfectly because we are opposites.

True, having managed to get burned in the first unsuccessful relationship, the singer did not want to have children, and, according to Emma, ​​she had to spend a lot of effort to persuade her husband. Her efforts were crowned with success, and what a success! After 10 years of marriage, on November 23, 2000, the twins Ustinya and Frol were born to the star couple.

Now the twins are 16 years old, and they never cease to amaze parents and fans with their talents - Frol shows himself as a talented artist, and Ustinya studies diligently and recently brilliantly performed at the Tatler debutante ball.

We can say that a couple of actor and singer Dmitry Pevtsov and actress Olga Drozdova were created in heaven. They are insanely happy with each other, and their relationship is permeated with love and harmony.

The artists met on the set of the film A Walk on the Scaffold in 1991, where they played lovers. As is often the case, the screen story came to life, but with one exception: it was not an instant passion, but a gradually developing serious feeling.

I can’t say that after the first glance at Drozdova, the thought pierced me: “I can’t live without this woman.” But soon after we met, I understood and felt with all my being: if I miss Olga, I will make an irreparable mistake. Until I doubted it for a second,

Dmitry tells the portal "Lady.mail.ru".

By the time they met, both had a serious background: Dmitry broke up with his first love, actress Larisa Blazhko, and raised his son Daniel (unfortunately, Daniel died in 2012 at the age of 22. - Ed.), Olga was not free at all - the actress had a fiancé in Switzerland and one divorce behind her. Nevertheless, the artists decided to live together.

But Olga Drozdova did not seek to remarry, so Dmitry decided to deceive - he gathered friends at the registry office and brought his beloved there, who thought she was going to shoot. So, through the efforts of the singer on December 30, 1994, they officially became spouses.

The couple dreamed of children, and on August 7, 2007, 42-year-old Olga and 44-year-old Dmitry had a long-awaited son, Elisha. The birth of a child was a real happiness, and the artists gladly accepted new role parents.

Dmitry says this about raising children in an interview with Telesem:

I think that the most important thing in raising a child is to educate his good nature. He must be able to love: to give, to help, to protect, not to regret something. But with all the love that surrounds him in the family, he must slowly prepare for the fact that he will soon fall into a world where most people will not treat him as well as his loved ones.

Now Dmitry Pevtsov and Olga Drozdova continue to shine on stage and screen, raise a wonderful son, Elisha, and their feelings do not subside for a moment.

Maybe it's about working on yourself and your relationships, according to Dmitry, or maybe it's just fate?

The past year has been shockingly rich in star breakups, depriving the traditional lists of the most reliable Hollywood unions of several big names at once - Melanie Griffith and Antonio Banderas, Annette Bening and Warren Beatty, Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin, David Duchovny and Tea Leoni.
