The fifty-four-year-old star has two children from her first marriage with director Fyodor Bondarchuk – son Sergej is 31 and daughter Varvara is 24. Svetlana’s youngest child was born with cerebral palsy. A TV presenter tries to protect her special daughter from the public eye.

The artist shared rare revelations about Barbara’s life. Svetlana is proud of the fact that she was able to provide her with decent living conditions. Bondarchuk admitted that she is in constant contact with Varvara, as is the rest of the family.

“A beautiful girl. She’s a special child who happened to be born with cerebral palsy. She’s living an absolutely amazing and I’d even say good life. She’s got everything she needs. And people who love her are around her.” emphasized Bondarchuk.

Former editor-in-chief of Hello! he also has a 9-year-old stepdaughter, Yuna. The schoolgirl regularly lives in the family of the TV presenter and her husband Sergey Kharchenko. Svetlana admitted that at the first meeting she was able to find a common language with the girl, but she had to try to make friends with Yuna.

“At first Yuna really liked me. At the time we met, I was in love, I liked Sergey, but I didn’t know if we would be together. I understood that it is necessary to be careful with the child so that he does not get hurt. I immediately treated her with care, this is very important. At first, Yuna treated me with great interest and compassion, “Svetlana emphasized.

The model noted that over time, her relationship with her stepdaughter began to deteriorate due to the fact that the girl was jealous of her father. “She realized we were more than friends. She was having a hard time, there was a moment of perestroika – jealousy, misunderstanding. It is not explained to the children why their parents split up. My husband had not lived there for several years when we met, they had no plans to get together. Yuna loves her mother very much. Serezha and Tanya, Yuna’s mother, maintained a very healthy parental relationship… We quarreled several times, I was offended. I understand, sometimes it overheats. I give a chance to improve, “said the TV presenter.

The former lover of the director noted that she and her second husband were able to build a strong family. “I admire Serezha, how she is also a part of my children. Yuna lives in two houses. On the contrary, it is a joke that he lives with the fact that he has more than the other children. Some mom-dad and then my mom shows up. Now she is also a grandmother for her, “explained Svetlana.

A star mother does not consider herself an ideal parent. Bondarchuk agreed with her son to see a psychologist. “There is something to talk to him about. It would be very interesting. We already filmed a date before the New Year… I think it’s very important if there are things that haven’t been said, things aren’t finished. It is absolutely necessary to finish, to do… He has questions for me,” added Bondarchuk to the YouTube show “Your Natasha” with Natalia Podolska.
