Child of Yulia Snigir and Evgeniy Tsyganov
The eighth heir was given to Tsyganov by Yulia Snigir (for her, the boy became her first-born). Their son Fedor was born on March 9, 2016. Parents carefully protect the baby from prying eyes. Julia took a short break from her creative career and for now devoted herself entirely to raising her child.

The boy will soon turn three years old, the passions in the media around the couple Tsyganov and Snigir have subsided, perhaps soon fans will see the face of Evgeniy Tsyganov’s youngest child. In the meantime, Julia posted a post on Instagram where, subscribers suspect, the girl shared a photo of her son. In the photo, a boy is choosing ice cream.
The ex-wife of Evgeny Tsyganov - Irina Leonova
As mentioned earlier, our hero was married twice. His first chosen one, a girl named Irina Leonova, has an acting specialty. At that time, the girl acted in films and also played at the Maly Theater. It is known that when she met Evgeniy, she was still married to Igor Petrenko. But her family life was not going well. A meeting with Evgeny Tsyganov helped her decide to take a serious step - divorce.
Evgeny Tsyganov and Irina Leonova soon legalized their relationship. The family had seven children - four boys and three girls. Shortly before the birth of their last child, the couple separated. Evgeniy Tsyganov left his wife. The latest news said that he had met a new love. The ex-wife of Evgeny Tsyganov, Irina Leonova, and the actor himself did not disclose information about the divorce for a long time. The children remained to live with their mother.
Career of Evgeny Tsyganov: theater, cinema and music
In high school, the guy couldn’t clearly decide who he wanted to be and where to study next. To his parents’ questions he answered: “I’ll be a manager” (a then popular profession in the vastness of the former Soviet Union). But if the Almighty has awarded talent and acting skills, then there is no escape from fate.
1993-2004: rock group "A.S." and "Toast"
At the age of fourteen, Evgeniy became seriously interested in rock music and became a member of the youth group “A.S.” (“Apage, Satanas!”). They played in an Arbat squat, their music was close to the ska-punk style. After existing for four years, the team disbanded, and most of it was transformed into the group “Grenki”.

Playing Britpop music, the guys quickly gained popularity, and since 1997, Zhenya and his friends performed a lot at concerts in Moscow clubs. They even recorded one album, but with the beginning of the 2000s, the success of “Toast” gradually began to decline. In 2004, the team broke up.
1996-2001: education and debut roles
In 1996, Tsyganov became a student at the Shchukin School, choosing the directing department. A year later, he transferred to the same faculty at RATI (GITIS), and graduated from the educational institution in 2001. True, he has had the opportunity to use his acquired profession of director in his life only once. His only work in this role is the film novel “Random Waltz”, which in 2010 was included in the film anthology “May 9. Personal attitude."

While still a student, fate brought Tsyganov together with teacher, theater and film director Pyotr Fomenko. In his fourth year, Zhenya received an invitation from Pyotr Naumovich to his theater as an actor. In 2000, in the play “One Absolutely Happy Village” he played Mikheev, and after graduation he became a member of the Pyotr Fomenko Workshop troupe.

Evgeniy made his film debut in 2001 as Ilya in the thriller “The Collector” directed by Yuri Grymov. Critics praised his work as successful, but Tsyganov himself did not like the way he played his first hero on the screen.
2002-2017: roles in theater and cinema
Already the second character in the movie (Postnikov in the melodrama Let's Make Love) brought Evgeniy his first award at the Kinotavr festival - the prize for Best Supporting Role. Great fame came to the actor after the role of Sasha Pankratov in the serial film “Children of the Arbat”. Their on-screen duet with Chulpan Khamatova was called the most romantic couple in the Russian series.

Now Tsyganov had no end to directors and proposals for filming. And no matter the role, one hundred percent fits into the image: Herman, “Space as a Premonition”; architect Maxim, “Peter FM”; Lieutenant Pochernikov, “Brest Fortress”; cameraman Viktor Khrustalev, “The Thaw”; landowner Stepan Oznobishin, TV series “Kuprin”; Captain Kitsenko, “Battle for Sevastopol”; Yan Rokotov, “Fartsa”.

For his role in the TV series “The Thaw,” actor Evgeny Tsyganov was awarded the Russian Government Prize in the field of culture and the Golden Eagle Award in the category “Best Actor on Television.” In 2021, three films with his participation were released: “You All Infuriate Me,” “Explorer” and “Blockbuster.”

Among his theatrical roles, it is especially worth noting: Raskolnikov in “Crime and Punishment” (at the Chekhov Moscow Art Theater); Sebastian in Twelfth Night (at London's Cheek by Jowl); Karandysheva in “Dowry” (in “Pyotr Fomenko’s Workshop”); Vladimir Busygin in “The Eldest Son” (in the theater).
The children of Evgeniy Tsyganov still do not know that their father left them
Irina Leonova avoids any contact with journalists, so reporters learn the latest news about her life from neighbors and theater colleagues.
Friends of the actress said that Evgeny Tsyganov supports his ex-wife financially, but does not help raise their children. Over the course of this year, Irina was never able to tell them that dad had left. Leonova answers the kids’ questions that dad is busy at work.
The actress is helped with her small children by her elders - 11-year-old Polina and 10-year-old Nikita.
Neighbors of a large family say that Irina’s youngest children look for a father in every man. Children show increased interest in all men who just appear in their field of vision.
And Evgeny Tsyganov himself has not been hiding his new relationship for a long time! Details here!
