Today we know that Valeria has been happily married to Joseph Prigogine for many years. Some remember that the artist was married to Alexander Shulgin, in connection with whom she was regularly subjected to violence. And probably very few people know that Valeria had another marriage, the very first – with Leonid Yaroshevsky.
These men, to whom famous girls first said “Yes!” many years ago, will be discussed in our material.
Valeria
First husband – Leonid Yaroshevsky
Even before Valeria took this sonorous pseudonym for herself, she was just Alla Perfilova – a girl who dreams of singing on stage. Leonid Yaroshevsky led the jazz-rock group “Reflection” and the group “Impulse” at the Saratov Philharmonic, where Alla began her creative activity. Noticing the artist’s talent, it was he who insisted that the girl try to enter the Gnessin Institute. Together they went to conquer Moscow.

As an older friend (Leonid is 8 years older than Valeria), he protected the artist, helped her promote herself, and just two years later he timidly asked for her hand and heart. They got married, and Yaroshevsky continued to produce his wife, for this he had to sacrifice a lot. However, the career took off only when Alexander Shulgin appeared on the horizon. There was a feeling between the producer and the artist. When she didn’t come home to sleep once, Leonid understood everything. The act of Valeria Yaroshevsky is still considered treason, which he even wrote about in his book. But the artist herself has no regrets.

After divorcing Valeria, Leonid never married. He also has no children. In 1993, he went to Germany, continued his music studies and built a successful career as a composer, performed solo abroad and now works as a pianist.
Anastasia Zavorotnyuk
First husband – Olaf Schwarzkopf
In 1993, Anastasia Zavorotnyuk graduated from the Moscow Art Theater School and became an actress at the Theater Studio of Oleg Tabakov. It was there, in a snuffbox, that she met her first husband: at Yevgeni Mironov’s birthday party, German-born ex-military pilot and businessman Olaf Schwarzkopf couldn’t pass her by. The 12-year age difference between the lovers did not matter, and they soon got married.

However, family life did not work out, and a year later the couple broke up. Anastasia called the reason for the divorce her husband’s love for drinking and assault, and Olaf assured that his wife turned out to be a terrible housewife, for which he himself cooked, washed and cleaned. Versions of why the couple never became parents, even when pregnancy occurred, also differ: Zavorotnyuk talked about the abortion in the midst of stress, and Schwarzkopf assured that the whims of his wife were to blame – she said she did not want to gain weight and decided to have an abortion.

During his marriage to the actress, Olaf was a wealthy businessman, but over time his own business began to bring losses and subsequently debts. Schwarzkopf decided not to try to return his former wealth: he went to the Urals, to Magnitogorsk, where he still lives today. The man is known to work in the construction industry. He is also married and has a daughter.

Lera Kudryavtseva
First husband – Sergey Lenyuk
In the 90s, every girl in our country dreamed of touching the guys from Tender May. And beauty Lera Kudryavtseva married one of them! Her chosen one was the group’s drummer Sergey Lenyuk. Young people signed when Lera was already pregnant. In April 1990, the 18-year-old TV presenter became a mother for the first time: a boy was born, who was named Jean.


Unfortunately, family life was short-lived. First, the couple shared shelter with Sergei’s mother, and the relationship between daughter-in-law and mother-in-law was far from ideal. In addition, Kudryavtseva constantly heard rumors about Lenyuk’s betrayals on tour. Add to that an addiction to alcohol. Of course, all this was signed, and in 1992 a natural divorce followed. In addition, it is also scandalous: in the press, the former spouses accused each other.

Later, Sergei married a second time and became a father again. Son Jean is already an adult, and his half-brother Andrey is still a schoolboy. By the way, the boy was named after Andrei Razin, with whom Lera Kudryavtseva regularly fights. Lenyuk’s second marriage also ended in divorce, but he built a three-story house for the family in Sergiev Posad, where he himself lives.
Sergei prefers not to communicate with the press and generally tries to live a modest, solitary life. He does not have social networks, but Lenyuk can sometimes be seen at private events and group concerts, where he fondly remembers his youth and performs with Tender May.
Lolita Milyavska
First husband – Alexander Belyaev
Lolita said “Yes!” in the registry office five times, but the first was he – an actor and classmate of the future artist at the Moscow Institute of Culture of Alexander Belyaev. Young people met for several years and decided to sign at the end of the university. The stamp in the passport allowed the newlyweds to be assigned to one place, but it did not strengthen the newlywed family. In 1987, three years after their wedding, the couple separated.

A few years later, Lolita, recalling her first marriage, said that in principle they should not have married then. Young people understood that they were too different, but still decided to try their luck. Unsuccessfully. Alexander noted that their divorce from the artist had to be fictitious so that Lolita could marry Vitaly Milyavsky (fictitious, of course) and build a career as an artist in Moscow. But later it turned out that in such a cunning way the singer could finally end the hopeless marriage with her first husband.

It was even harder for men to see how feelings flared up between Lolita and her stage partner Alexander Tsekal. Belyaev remembers Milyavskaya with warmth and does not hold evil. Today, Alexander is married: his wife Marina gave birth to his daughter Anfisa. Unlike his first wife, Belyaev’s creative career did not work out: it is known that at one time he worked in an advertising agency, but he prefers not to say what he is doing now.

Ekaterina Klímová
First husband – Ilya Khoroshilov
Young Katya Klimova met her first husband as a 15-year-old schoolgirl. Jeweler Ilya Khoroshilov looked after the sultry brunette beautifully and she couldn’t resist. When the girl graduated from high school and entered the theater, Ilya made her a marriage proposal. In 2002, 24-year-old Ekaterina became a mother: a girl was born, whom her happy parents named Elizabeth.

The career of the beautiful and, of course, talented actress went downhill, which was also reflected in her marriage. The smart and quiet husband of Klimov preferred a bright and charismatic partner on the site – Igor Petrenko. The novel developed rapidly, and Khoroshilov had no choice but to retreat. Ilya was very upset by his wife’s betrayal, but over the years he found his happiness. And again an actress. Since 2009, Khoroshilov has been happy with Elena Biryukova. The couple has a daughter, Aglaya. But Ilya and Elena signed only after 10 years of marriage – in 2019.
