To whom did the apina's husband go. Alena Apina's friend hinted at the real reason for her divorce

About a month ago, singer Alena Apina announced on her page on the social network that she was divorcing her husband Alexander Iratov after 25 years of marriage. “Life is much wiser than many of us. Alexander and I do not have any lovebirds and there is no big global reason for this step. It's just that the time has come, "- this is how the star of the 90s explained her decision. However, fans and some friends of the ex-soloist of the "Combination" group argue that the woman could hide real family relationships.

In the program "Live" Boris Korchevnikov decided to discuss what caused the discord in the artist's family. The guest in the studio was Natalya Shturm, the singer's friend. In addition, the audience was shown excerpts from the 2011 program, where Apina and Iratov talked about family life and how they met. The artist and producer met for the first time at a festival in Tashkent, where "Combination" performed.

The life of show business representatives was not easy. Apina admitted that she had been caring for her husband for three years. The initiative to get married also came from her. As Natalya Shturm noted, her friend knew how difficult it would be to live with a producer, around whom talented women often appear.

“Alena is a wonderful person with such patience. It is very, very difficult to withstand the producer. Because the producers are all psychopaths, neurotics, and everything is on the outside, "said Sturm.

The guests present in the studio noted that Natalya was not saying something. In addition, in some interviews Iratov said: "We part with each other, we give personal space, so the marriage lasts for so long." According to experts, when the spouses agree on this, it already leads to discord in the family.

Alena Apina wrote that there are no lovebirds, is it true or not? - Boris Korchevnikov asked Natalia.

Are you asking me this? I definitely have nothing to do with this.

- Was Iratov really unfaithful to her? You told me backstage ...

"I do not know. I do not exclude that the producer could look for something, find, lose something. Throughout their careers, they have such a number of temptations and such a number of women who want to have something with him ... This may not be in the nature of treason, it may be in the nature of a process, ”said Natalya.

By the way, Apina also divorced her first husband. They don't communicate now. Valery Arvidovich Apin lives in Saratov, where Alena was born, and works at an art school. She did not abandon her surname even when she broke up with her husband, because this is how the audience remembered her.

On the air of the program, Apina's friend Vitaly Okorokov appeared, who was in love with her. He noted that he was shocked by this news. “They would not have achieved anything without each other. It was he who "put" on the song "Ksyusha", - the man recalled. Okorokov kindly recalls Alena. According to him, he was amazed by the artist. “She is a very smart woman, very educated,” said Vitaly, who at one time invited her to the Combination group.

Recently, 51-year-old Alena presented on the Internet a fresh photo shoot in a swimsuit, showing a toned body and incredible femininity

The young singer, who was cared for by Alexander Iratov, was not included in the "Voice" due to a spinal injury

The former soloist of the "Combination" group Alena APINA (nee - LYOVOCHKINA), who gained popularity in the dashing 90s with such hits as "Accountant", "Ksyusha", "Uzelki" and "Electric", unexpectedly turned out to be in the center of everyone's attention. Recalling the existence of the artist was prompted by rumors spread on the Internet about her divorce from producer Alexander IRATOV, with whom she had been happily married for 25 years.

I was introduced to Sasha Iratov in the late 80s in the Sochi "Pearl" by my old friend Valerka Spiritus, nicknamed Alcohol, with whom we once speculated with musical equipment, - recalled the organizer of corporate events Konstantin Shcherbinin. “You know, I’m done with all the old stuff now,” he told me. "But I'll introduce you to the number one speculator."

And he brought me to a dude with a chain two fingers thick and a huge cross on his stomach, like a priest or a thief in law. This was Sasha Iratov. He worked as the director of Slava Malezhik. I made a lot of money at concerts on the left. And he invested them in "business". "Well, what have you got there?" - reluctantly, he began the conversation. At that time, miners began to strike throughout the country, and to calm them down, a decree was signed allowing them to conduct free trade.

Cars, TVs, refrigerators, washing machines and other goods fell upon our Kuzbass like manna from heaven. The miners were given coupons for their purchase. But they were afraid that they would be robbed or thrown. And they brought these coupons to me. And I bought goods and exported them to other cities.

I offered these goods to Iratov. "Do you have white nines?" - he asked. At the time, it was considered a cool car. “Yes,” I replied. "How much is?" - got interested in Iratov. Then the price of "nine" was 35 thousand rubles. But I thought he was very arrogant. And he gave him a higher price - 40 thousand. For this money then it was possible to buy an apartment.

I thought that Iratov would bargain. But he immediately said: “Let me give you 42 thousand! But so that in a week, when I return to Moscow, the car will already be there. " So my collaboration with him began.

I used to send him various goods by cargo planes. Iratov sold them and brought me money in sacks. At that time he was still living with his first wife - the mother of his son Andrey. Alena Apina appeared in his life only in the early 90s. I remember that after a long absence I came to Moscow, and he stunned me with the news: “Heard the song“ Ksyusha, Ksyusha, plush skirt ”? This is my new wife! "

IRATOV and APINA have long earned a reputation as an almost exemplary family, so Alena's statement about their divorce for many became a bolt from the blue

Someone else's secret

Alena is a very smart, educated person, - said the author of many hits "Combination" and Apina - composer Vitaly Okorokov. - Studied at the Conservatory. Which of our singers knows Prokofiev's music? And she can play you all his sonatas, all the symphonies. I know Alena very well. We grew up with her since childhood. We had our first "love-carrot". Well, you know how it happens at 15 years old.

Then she married the artist Valery Apin. They wanted children. But they didn't succeed. I know what the reason was. But I have no right to reveal someone else's secret. I can only say that these are purely women's affairs. There are diseases with which nothing can be done. Even artificial insemination does not help. As a result, Apin left Alena.

In "Combination" she was kind of a little lonely, lost. I wanted love, big and pure. I met Iratov, who was doing our tours. And he took her out of the group.

Naturally, she wanted to work solo. In any group, everyone secretly wants to pursue a solo career. I then gave her the song "Ksyusha". This song made her a star.

In principle, you could take any Manya Siskina or Shura Murina, invest a little money in the air of this song, and it would become a hit. I did not understand this then. And Iratov immediately realized that this might be the only chance in life.

I remember he listened to “Ksyusha” and said to me: “Ok, Okorokov! Do not show this song to anyone and do not tell that it exists. " The arrangement was loaded the same night. And two days later the video was ready. The recording of the song and the shooting of the video were going on at the same time. I have not seen anything like this anywhere else. I just admire Iratov, how he quickly worked then.

"Life is wiser than us"

For a quarter of a century, Apina and Iratova have repeatedly tried to dissolve. Then Alena was credited with an affair with the singer Murat Nasyrov, with whom she sang the song "Moonlit Nights" in a duet. Then Alexander was declared the lover of the actress Renata Piotrowski, who starred with him in the film company "Needle" in the series "Girl from the North". But the star couple did not even think about breaking up.

Moreover, despite the aforementioned medical problems of Apina, in 2001 he and Iratov had a joint child - daughter Ksenia, who was carried by a surrogate mother. One would think that the current rumors about a divorce are just another duck, ”if the singer herself had not confirmed them.

Yes, I'm filing for divorce, - wrote Apina on her Instagram page. - This period of my life is coming to an end. It was very large and very beautiful for many of you. But life is much wiser than many of us. Alexander and I do not have any lovebirds and there is no big global reason for this step. It's just time. Thank you all for your participation and excitement. And try to discuss it less. Today the most important thing is to bring less problems to our daughter. Everything else cannot be changed. And life doesn't end there.

In truth, this post raised many more questions from everyone than it answered. One involuntarily got the impression that Alena was dark and didn't say something.

The appeal to the old acquaintances of the star couple did not clarify the situation either. Even for them, the singer's sensational recognition came as a complete surprise.

I don't know anything about the reasons for the divorce of Apina and Iratov, - producer Alexei Muscatin threw up his hands. - We have known Sasha since the days of our “anxious youth”. But like many of our generation, he has not been seen or heard anywhere for a long time. The last time we met with him was several years ago. He then took care of one young girl. And in our studio they wanted to make a musical project out of it. We practiced vocals, dancing, etc. with her. No, no, she was not Iratov's mistress.

Only for big money

It was just the daughter of some acquaintances of Alexander, continues Muscatine. - Sasha's son from his first marriage, Andrei, constantly came to classes with her. I made sure that she was not offended. Unfortunately, all this did not end with anything. In principle, the girl sang well. But it was something average. She did not pull on the second Zemfira. And we have always set fairly high professional requirements for our wards. If something didn't work out, they said directly: “You don't sing, you quack. Why don't you even sing? This is not your profession. " The girl, apparently, could not stand it and eventually left us. Then I called her. I wanted to send her to the "Voice" or to the "Main Stage". But it turned out that she went somewhere to rest and injured her spine.

And Iratov, as I understand it, moved to Spain and lately he has almost constantly lived in this country. Several times I tried to shoot a movie there: something is successful, something is unsuccessful. And with Apina, his son Andrei went to concerts as a director. As for their divorce ... This is all very strange. Sasha is already a grandfather. They have a daughter with Alena. I don't understand why they need to get divorced. Maybe, of course, Apina decided to remind herself in this way. But, by and large, she doesn't really need it. Her songs are on the radio anyway. And if tomorrow she wants to go on tour, I think it will not be difficult for her to gather an audience. Only she doesn't want to tour. This summer I met her at an event in Dolgoprudny. “When they give a lot of money, I come,” Alena said. “And I’m not interested in working for a penny.”

Tired of each other

If something happened between Lena and Sasha, then, apparently, quite recently, ”suggested the singer and composer Andrei Kosinsky, who wrote“ Semechek Glass ”and other songs for Apina. - Two years ago, we went to Lena's 50th birthday in the Spanish city of Marbella, where they bought a house (which of the stars still has real estate in Spain - read on here). And Sasha then organized all the anniversary celebrations for her. I got such a thing that words cannot describe. He was also present at her last birthday, which she celebrated on August 23 at her home in Peredelkino. And there seemed to be no signs that something was amiss in their family.

On the contrary, they spoke very good words about each other. “I owe everything in my life to Sasha,” Lena emphasized. Maybe they just got bored of each other. Maybe the same spark was gone between them. As far as I know, Sasha stopped producing Lena a long time ago, as before. She got a job as a music teacher at a school. I helped her make a musical with the students based on the Beatles' songs.

And where Sasha worked these years - I even find it difficult to answer. According to the latest information that reached me, he was in charge of the concert hall at the Cosmos Hotel. Once I turned to him with a proposal to write a new song for Lena. “No, no, no, I don’t do this anymore,” Sasha brushed aside. - I am a state man. Yes, Sasha's son helps her with concerts. But in fact, Lena has been living on her own for a long time and rules everything on her own.

Until recently, the families of Alena Apina and Tatyana Bulanova seemed to be one of the most durable in Russian show business, but today it became known that both singers are going through difficult times in their personal lives. Alena Apina, who has lived with her husband, producer Alexander Iratov for 25 years, announced a divorce, and earlier Tatyana Bulanova wrote on a social network about the betrayal of her husband, athlete Vladislav Radimov.

Alena Apina and Alexander Iratov celebrated the 25th anniversary of marriage in March this year. It seemed that nothing boded an imminent separation, but today, to the great surprise of the journalists, Alena announced a divorce. According to the singer, the reason for their breakup is not in someone else, but "time and accumulated fatigue." The couple have a daughter - 14-year-old Ksenia.

The day before, Tatyana Bulanova announced the problem in her personal life on Instagram. She published a photo with her husband, 40-year-old football coach Vladislav Radimov, and wrote an emotional text about betrayal:

I don't know what is more disgusting - the betrayal of a loved one, as it seemed to me, a person or a friend (apparently as it seemed to me). Probably, the betrayal of a loved one is more painful and more terrible. I can’t stand whining and complaining and, most likely, I will delete this post later, but either because it’s almost morning, or because of something else - I’ll just cry a little into your vests ... - Tatiana wrote.

Tatiana and Vladislav got married in 2005. They went through a variety of periods, found themselves on the verge of divorce, but still overcame difficulties. Time will tell what decision has been made now. Tatiana and Vladislav are raising their 9-year-old son Nikita, and Tatiana also has an eldest son, Alexander, from her first marriage with Nikolai Tagrin.

A few weeks ago, Alena Apina was shocked by the news of a divorce from producer Alexander Iratov, with whom they had been married for over 25 years. The couple have a 14-year-old daughter, Ksenia. The singer, after announcing her separation from her husband, turned to fans and the press with a request not to circulate senseless gossip and rumors about the reasons for the divorce. According to the star mother, such news in the media negatively affects the condition of her minor heiress.

“The very case when everything that happens around (your discussions, judgments, assumptions, etc.) - has no meaning and meaning. All the hype that you raise flies only in one direction - to our daughter! She is only 14. All "who is to blame", why, why, etc. - have no meaning! And the fact itself will not be canceled. YES. I'M FILING FOR DIVORCE. This period of my life is coming to an end. It was very large and very beautiful for many of you. But life is much wiser than many of us. Alexander and I do not have any lovebirds and there is no big global reason for this step. It's just time. Thank you all for your participation and excitement. And try to discuss it less. Today the most important thing is to bring less problems to our daughter. The rest cannot be changed. And life doesn't end there, ”Apina wrote in her address (the author's spelling and punctuation have been preserved. - Ed. Note).

And recently, fans could not recognize the singer. After the divorce, she tries on bold stage images. The artist took an active part in her career - she began to record new songs and shoot a video. In one of the photographs she published, she appeared as a seductress with fiery red hair. According to fans, the new hairstyle and professional make-up have rejuvenated the 52-year-old singer by at least 10 years. "This is also I. My daughter said that here I am like a young Apina!" - signed one of the pictures of Alena.
