“I took his hand, he stopped breathing”: Marina Devyatova said how her lover died of cancer 04/10/2023, 08:45

The star’s first love was a doctor named Maxim, who was 12 years older than her. Marina met him in the Moscow metro at the age of 18. Although the topic of the subsequent conversation was far from romantic, they discussed the birth trauma, the girl immediately felt a spark fly between her and her new acquaintance.

“Actually, the feelings were so clear, naive. I am very young and he is older than me, he took very good care of me. Terrible romance! This is what happens in a fairy tale. It wasn’t much: we didn’t go to expensive places. He clearly fell into my desires and dreams, “said Devyatova.

Young people began to meet and after a while they got together. However, the happiness was short-lived. Six months later, the man was diagnosed with cancer. He tried to hide it from his young lover, but Marina accidentally found the documents and a well-known doctor deciphered incomprehensible medical terms for her. The truth turned out to be bitter – brain cancer.

The singer watched her loved one die with great pain. “He sat me down in front of him and told me everything that happens to him,” the artist recalled. The treatment did not help, the disease developed rapidly. Maxim began to lose his sight and became weaker every day.

Before he died, he wanted to see his beloved. “he was waiting for me. I took his hand. I felt him squeeze his hand a little. And he stopped breathing, “said Marina in an interview with the PROlife YouTube channel.

After the tragedy, a lawyer got in touch with Devyat and said that her lover had left her his property as an inheritance. However, the artist did not want to enter the rights. “It is not mine. First, he has a son from his first marriage. Second, parents. I’m just a girl. At 18, I was not ready to talk about this topic at all. I considered it necessary to rewrite everything to his parents, and then they will solve it themselves, “added the singer.

Marina was painfully experiencing the loss. A few years later, she met the singer and actor Nikolai Demidov. They were united by a love of creativity, but the romance was short-lived. In 2016, Devyatova married businessman Alexey Pigurenko. A year later, the couple had a daughter, Ulyana. And last summer, the folk singer gave birth to a son, who was named Alexander.
