Stars The father is not the one who gave birth: the most careful star stepfathers are Urgant, Sil and others

Being a father is a profession that is not given to everyone. Unfortunately, we know of cases where birth fathers abandoned their children. Our heroes, on the other hand, fell in love with all their hearts and raised children who are not biological parents. And to look at these relationships over the years is a pleasure, tenderness and admiration.

“Daughter of Ivan Urgant Eric …” – we are used to seeing such headlines on the web. Few people remember that the eldest daughter of the couple is not Ivanova. Natalya gave birth to Erica in her first marriage, but the girl’s father became a showman.

On August 18, 2021, Erica celebrated her 21st birthday. Urgant took to his social media to offer his touching congratulations to his stepdaughter, and this is the cutest thing we’ve read lately:

“Erika, meet Vanya! We studied together at school… A five-year-old girl in red tights looked at me carefully and suddenly grabbed my hand tightly. It’s been 16 years already. The love for red continues to grow. Vanya turned into a pope. But she never let go of my hand.

In 1976, Alexander Abdulov married Irina Alferova, who at that time was raising her two-year-old daughter Ksyusha from her first marriage. The actor, who dreamed of children, warmly accepted the girl and considered her a native. Ksenia, on the other hand, called Alexander dad. Abdulov and Alferova lived in marriage for 17 years, they divorced in 1993, but even then the stepfather and stepdaughter continued to communicate warmly – like father and daughter.

Alexander died in 2008, but Ksenia remembers him very often and admits that she has not fully accepted the fact that her father is no longer there. “How I miss my dad. How I want to hear his voice, to spin in the frenzied vortex of his energy. Such people are rarely born and remain forever in our hearts. Dad, you’re a great actor, you’re an amazing dad, you’re a real person. I always love you, “wrote Alferová the younger on her social networks.

Disaster survivors: Nemcova, Todorenko and other stars who cheated death

Men like Seal are one in a million. In 2004, he met Heidi Klum and was impressed. He wasn’t even surprised by the fact that the supermodel had just broken up with Italian businessman Flavio Briatore and was expecting a child from him! The baby was born in May 2004 and Seal immediately adopted her and married Heidi in 2005. The supermodel herself has repeatedly emphasized that she considers the musician to be the father of her daughter. The stepdaughter and stepfather share the same opinion. Helen and Sila have a very warm relationship, and despite the separation of their parents, the girl is always very attracted to her name. In addition to Helen, the former spouses have three more children: sons Henry and Johan, as well as daughter Lou.

Valeria broke up badly with the father of her three children, Alexander Shulgin. At some point, the angry composer became angry with the children, so he stopped participating in their lives. Fortunately for the guys, Joseph Prigozhin appeared in their mother’s life.

The producer, who himself is the father of many children, quickly found a language with Artemy, Anna and Arseny. His care, wise advice and flexible mind helped build close relationships with the boys, of which he is naturally proud. “I know Anya, Theme and Senya call me dad behind my back. But in the face they call Yosei. In life, sometimes people who have walked parallel paths meet and become closer, dear people. After all, it is not for nothing that they say that sometimes the father is not the one who gave birth, but the one who raised. In my opinion, dad is a screwdriver and children are wheels. And how you screw them depends on how tightly they will hold, ”Prigozhin admitted in an interview.

Anna confirms the words of her stepfather: for example, once on his birthday she wrote a touching post on her social networks. “Yes, thank you for raising me and my brothers as your own! Thank you for being patient with me. I know it’s very hard. Thank you not only for the fatherly strong shoulder, but also for the friendly handshake. Thank you for taking care of us. Thanks for being so kind. Thank you for not being afraid to marry a mother of three and take care of them! Thank you for your interest in my opinion. Thank you for the crazy love for Valeria! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!” — admitted the singer’s daughter.

Igor Krutoy is the father of many children. The composer has four children: sons Nikolai (from his first marriage) and Yakov (an illegitimate child), as well as the daughters of his wife Olga – Victoria and Alexandra. Igor Yakovlevich adopted Vika in 1995 when he married her mother. The girl was 10 years old at the time and had a hard time accepting the news that her mother had someone. The first meeting of Igor and Vika ended as soon as it began. But as it turned out, the girl just needed time to accept and love her mother’s chosen one.

Igor adopted Vika and gave her his last name. Over the years they have become truly family people. In 2015, when Vika got married, her father Igor Krutoy walked her down the aisle.

In 1983, handsome Kurt Russell began dating Goldie Hawn, who at that time was raising two children from her marriage to Bill Hudson – Kate and Oliver. The actor was imbued with the most tender feelings for children from the first minutes. “He was great with them, he was such a natural,” Goldie said.

Kate was only 3 years old at the time, her brother was 6 years old. Kurt proved that paternity does not mean blood relation as he has a very strong connection with Goldie’s children. Hudson grew up considering only Russell as her father, despite the fact that her biological father attempted to communicate. “Kurt is a man for whom family has always been a priority in life. He never missed a school performance, a football or hockey game, a dance concert. And the list goes on and on,” Kate shared.

Just look at how touchingly the actress congratulated her stepfather on Father’s Day: “Our great faithful defender. A reliable captain. Our wild, sometimes unbridled father adventurer! Our dad always makes life fun. Always ready to explore, always ready for a good life with my family. He’s a damn cool dad. We were lucky. Happy Father’s Day, Dad. I love you so much”.

When the wife is older: these star marriages have not stood the test of time

There are still people who are surprised by this information: Philip Gazmanov is the stepson of Oleg Gazmanov. Marina gave birth to a boy in her first marriage, but relations with Philip’s father did not work out. When the musician met his future wife, the boy was 6 years old. After the wedding in 2003, Oleg adopted Philip and gave him his surname. There is no other father for a guy, and the musician himself never divided his children into relatives and non-relatives.

“I wouldn’t say that the feeling of fatherhood has changed, worsened over the years. The upbringing of Rodion and Philip was practically no different. It follows the principle of carrots and sticks. I have a well-functioning reward system. To get what you want, you have to do something, “Oleg shared in an interview.

Anna Netrebko and Yusif Eyvazov have built a family you want to be like. The couple got married in 2015, the wedding was beautiful, but the public was more affected by the love with which the opera singer spoke about the son of his new wife, Thiago. Anna gave birth to a boy in a relationship with Uruguayan baritone Erwin Schroth, but this relationship did not stand the test of time and trials. The fact is that at the age of 3, Thiago was diagnosed with autism, which may have also contributed to the collapse of the union.

Yusif was not afraid of difficulties. Together with Anna, they made every effort to make the boy happy. Today, as years ago, Aivazov still repeats that he adores Thiago and considers him his son. “Even if his own father came tomorrow and said, ‘Give it to me,’ I will never give it back,” the tenor emphasized.

Nicole was born under a lucky star. The girl was born into a poor Mexican family: father Peter Escovedo died when she was 2 years old, and mother Karen Moss was unable to feed her daughter. Luckily, Lionel Richie and his wife Brenda were nearby and took Nicole into custody. They bonded so much that after seven years the couple adopted the girl.

Nicole regarded Lionel and Brenda as her parents, so their scandalous divorce was difficult, while she maintained a great relationship with both of them. What’s more interesting: Richie also communicates with his biological mother.
