For both Prigogine and Valeria, their marriage was the third. The star couple will soon celebrate the 20th anniversary of their life together! They have no children together, but in a large and friendly family, all the children of the spouses from previous relationships are considered relatives.
It is known that Valeria’s parents, Yuri Ivanovich and Galina Nikolaevna Perfilov, are music workers. The future star’s father ran a children’s music school in Atkarsk. They are modest people who have never been open about their famous daughter’s childhood and adolescence.
Iosif Prigozhin’s parents, unlike Valeria’s parents, hardly expected that their son, who was born in Makhachkala, would connect his life with music. His father Igor Matveevich worked as a projectionist and was fond of photography, his mother Dinara Yakubovna was a housewife and worked as a cleaner. The family lived in poverty, his father was seriously ill – young Joseph knew the difficulties early and decided to take everything from life at any cost.
Igor Matveyevich died in 1990 and Prigozhin arranged for his mother to move to her historic homeland – Israel. Now Dinara Yakubovna is already over 80. She has settled perfectly in Israel, she likes the climate and medical care. Valerie’s mother-in-law lives with her partner’s relative.
Prigozhin considers himself a bad son – he admits that he communicates with his mother by phone every day, but “always on the run.” Valeria knows little about her mother-in-law – they meet only on rare occasions when a large family comes to visit her grandmother. The star undoubtedly has great respect for Dinara Yakubovna – this woman gave birth to her and raised an amazing husband 🙂
The daughter-in-law of Valeria herself, Liana Shulgina, always speaks with admiration about her mother-in-law. Apparently, the singer learned the main lesson from the mother of Joseph Prigogine: you need to live your own life and not interfere in the privacy of children. This is the secret of happiness in a large family.
