How many husbands did Volochkova have and their biographies, her personal life now

Volochkova’s first husband – Suleiman Kerimov

The relationship between the ballerina and the oligarch began like a real oriental fairy tale. The slender 26-year-old blonde won the heart of a 34-year-old businessman in 2002.

Despite the ugly end of the relationship, Anastasia Volochkova still calls her ex-husband her first true love. For the ballerina, Suleiman Kerimov will forever remain the most courageous and worthy man.

How Anastasia and Suleiman met

The meeting took place at the anniversary celebration of the Moscow Investment Company. First, the guests watched performances by emerging stars at the Bolshoi Theater, then, in the company of performing artists, they went to the Marriott Hotel. Anastasia was also invited, and in front of an eminent audience she danced a scene from Don Quixote.

At the festival, the charming blonde was courted by several gentlemen at once, but Anastasia Volochkova herself drew attention to the respectable oriental brunette. Kerimov was so delighted with the ballerina that he suggested a joint vacation in the United Arab Emirates. Volochkova agreed, despite the fact that Suleiman was married.

In her memoirs “Pay for Success,” Anastasia Volochkova described this period of her life in detail. The ballerina went on vacation in Kerimov’s personal plane. The lovers settled in luxurious apartments of an elite hotel. Kerimov and Volochkova dined in expensive restaurants, the oligarch in love gave the ballerina an evening of fireworks over the sea.

Oriental love story

Kerimov continued to look after the ballerina after returning to her homeland, in fact becoming her common-law husband. Anastasia regularly received bouquets and gifts. Suleiman gave his beloved a car, hired a personal driver, and gave money for jewelry and branded clothing.

Volochkova felt like a real queen, but a shadow hovered over the magical kingdom was the fact that Kerimov was officially the husband of another woman. Suleiman, being a Muslim, offered Volochkova to become his second wife. But the ballerina was not happy with this arrangement.

Anastasia was in no hurry to break off the relationship, hoping to lure someone else’s husband and force him to leave his first wife. Meanwhile, Suleiman apparently began to consider himself the real husband of the ballerina. And, as is typical for Muslim husbands, he began to show a possessive character.

Tension arose in the relationship when the ex-husband began to jealously and even fanatically protect his beloved from the attention of other men. He installed listening devices and CCTV cameras in the ballerina’s apartment. The security guard followed Volochkova relentlessly and was even present at her rehearsals.

Why did you break up?

The despotism of her common-law husband depressed Volochkova, but she endured. But the break in relations was provoked by a completely different circumstance. In 2002, the ballerina became pregnant, which she was not happy about. Firstly, the child will push career development into the background, and secondly, Suleiman Kerimov, although he did not renounce paternity, said that he would take the heir to Derbent, where he would be raised by the oligarch’s relatives, according to Muslim customs.

Due to worries and intense training, Volochkova suffered a miscarriage. Having lost her child and trust in her common-law husband, Anastasia decided to separate.

The oligarch, having received a bitter pill, began to take revenge on Volochkova, striking at the most intimate thing - her ballet career. Kerimov came to an agreement with the leadership of the Bolshoi Theater, and the team began to brutally persecute Anastasia. The ballerina was deprived of significant roles allegedly due to excess weight. Volochkova had to quit the theater with a scandal. Probably, having arranged a meanness, the ex-husband hoped that Anastasia, left with nothing, would return to him. But Anastasia turned out to be proud.

Volochkova’s husband – Igor Vdovin

Businessman Igor Vdovin is known as Volochkova’s ex-husband, although the man is successful, has reached heights in the field of jurisprudence, has an academic title, and heads investment companies. The name of the successful lawyer was unknown to the general public until a loud scandal followed with Volochkova’s second divorce.

Biography and appearance

Vdovin lured Volochkova not only with a thick wallet, but also with an attractive appearance. The handsome brunette did not skimp on his courtship; another fairy tale began in the ballerina’s life, which, like the first, did not last long and ended sadly.

Igor Vdovin is a native of Almaty. Born in 1964 in an ordinary family. I studied diligently at school. After graduation, he left Kazakhstan for Kuban and entered the law university there.

Igor's education

Vdovin became a certified lawyer in 1995. Deciding to continue his education, he moved to St. Petersburg and entered graduate school at the Institute of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Having defended his dissertation, he became a candidate of legal sciences, and received his doctorate in 2002.

Career

Igor began his career while still a student. This helped already in 1998 to take the promising position of chairman of the Council for Direct Non-Profit Investments at the Center for Investment Programs. This is how my career began to develop in the field of investments.

In 2001, Igor Vdovin sat in the leadership chair of the NAPI investment agency. A significant rapprochement with the authorities was facilitated by the position of deputy head of the Public Council, managed by the Ministry of Regional Development, as well as membership on the board of the Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs.

Igor Vdovin is an experienced specialist in the investment field; his recommendations are valuable for inexperienced colleagues. Today, the businessman teaches at the Higher School of Economics and gives lectures and reports at conferences on economics and jurisprudence.

Family life with a ballerina

Before meeting Volochkova, Vdovin was married once. He has three children from a previous marriage. Anastasia never interfered with her second husband’s communication with his heirs, and she herself was friendly towards the businessman’s children from his other wife.

Vdovin courted Volochkova like a king, gave luxurious bouquets of roses, and attended his beloved’s performances. In 2005, the couple had a daughter. Two more years passed, and Volochkova received a long-awaited proposal from Vdovin to legalize the relationship.

The wedding was luxurious, Anastasia Volochkova changed the bride’s outfit several times. But after the marriage, the relationship with her husband began to collapse; a year later, love ended in divorce and a huge scandal, which filled the headlines of all media.

Divorce and new relationships of Igor Alexandrovich

Having scandalously separated from her husband, Anastasia Volochkova began to talk in detail about the ups and downs of married life. The ballerina is known as one of those media persons for whom any method of PR is good.

To begin with, Anastasia Volochkova admitted that Vdovin married her fictitiously. And there is no marriage stamp in the passport of both ex-spouses. The ballerina’s second shocking statement is that her second husband became a Yoga House sectarian, which is why he stopped paying attention to his family, which was the reason for the divorce.

Another scandal followed when Anastasia Volochkova accused her ex-husband of fraud. The ballerina said that Vdovin began to look after her during a difficult period, when his business was barely staying afloat. The businessman asked his beloved to take out a loan of $3 million for him. Naive Anastasia agreed, but agreed that a third of the money would go to organizing the wedding.

After the divorce, the husband never repaid the ballerina the debt she was counting on to solve her financial problems. Volochkova even asked Vdovin to repay the debt not with money, but with PR: to play the role of a repentant husband, ready for reconciliation. To the ballerina’s accusations, the ex-husband replied that every month he pays her 50 thousand dollars in alimony. And the money that she called debt, in fact, she took from the bank at her own discretion, invested it somewhere, but unsuccessfully.

Offended Anastasia Volochkova did not stop making accusations. She stated that her ex-husband, for the sake of revenge, organized a robbery of her mansion. While the ballerina was touring, the safe in her house was opened and jewelry was stolen. Vdovin, shocked by the accusation, declared his innocence.

Varya Demidova

Meanwhile, Igor Vdovin was organizing his personal life. The businessman’s new lover was the young rocker Varvara Demidova, who came to Moscow from Perm to conquer the stage. The girl is 17 years younger than Vdovin.

The romance lasted about 2 years, the lovers did not advertise their relationship. The businessman, having fallen in love like a boy, did not skimp on romantic surprises. So, one day Varvara woke up in the morning and saw a live deer under the window of the house. The wedding took place in 2015. But after 2 years the couple separated. They kept silent about the reason for the divorce.

Elena Nikolaeva

The next chosen one of Igor Vdovin was TV presenter Elena Nikolaeva. The meeting happened by chance; the businessman had no idea that in front of him was the host of the “Morning of Russia” program. Elena, too, had not heard about the gentleman’s scandalous divorce; when communicating, she highly appreciated his erudition and professionalism.

While courting Elena, Igor Vdovin gave gifts, arranged original dates, and invited her to travel. The businessman rented a luxurious Moscow apartment for his beloved.

The public learned about the love relationship between Vdovin and Nikolaeva only in 2021. The lovers attend social events together, and often take with them the businessman’s daughter from Volochkova. Elena developed a friendly relationship with the girl.

Men-wallets of Volochkova

Artem Stotsky

The worst thing that could happen to Russian oligarchs in the midst of the economic crisis was Volochkova’s divorce. Not a single billionaire who knows Nastya doubts for a second that Igor Vdovin simply ran away from his wife - he could not stand the complex character and financial demands of the famous ballerina. It’s bad that now they will have to satisfy her appetites themselves. After all, after meeting with the ballet prima, all these people seemed to fall into some kind of anomalous dependence on her and dutifully opened their wallets. So that later they would never be closed for her.

Nastya’s first man was a classmate at the Vaganova School, a fiery brunette, now a soloist of the Mariinsky Theater, Nikolai Zubovsky

.

A seemingly innocent student romance became a springboard for the ballet career of an undistinguished dancer. The grandson of the prima ballerina of the Mariinsky Theater, the brilliant teacher Inna Zubkovskaya, convinced his grandmother to pay special attention to Nastya and provide patronage.

About a year before graduating from college, Volochkova was “noticed” by the chief choreographer of the Mariinsky Theater Oleg Vinogradov and gave her the role of Odette-Odile in Swan Lake. A few years later, it was with this ballet that the blossoming Volochkova went on tour to London. There, at a reception dedicated to the premiere, she meets the vice-president of the theater, the owner of the largest hippodrome in England, the famous lawyer, 54-year-old British multimillionaire Anthony Kerman

and asks to show her his unique collection of silver, the Gilbert Collection.

Nastya returned to the double hotel room she shared with a friend the next morning to pick up her things and announce her intention to stay in England.

Anthony immediately organizes performances of a young, unknown Russian ballerina in the most prestigious theaters in the world, but in local newspapers they write about Volochkova not as a ballerina, but as his mistress. The whirlwind romance almost ended in a loud scandal. The London Daily Express claimed that for the sake of Anastasia, the lover Kerman abandoned his wife and two sons. After this, some European royal families refused his legal services, and Kerman decided to love Nastya from a distance. Having provided him with money for promotion, he sent the girl to Russia.

Wrestled the groom away from Sobchak

Arriving home, Volochkova left the Mariinsky Theater and came to conquer the capital. In Moscow at that time no one knew anything about the ballerina. At one of her first parties in the capital, Nastya met Pavel Bure, but that same evening she decided that friendship with his patron, the famous sports philanthropist Anzori Aksentyev, would bring her more benefit, and left the party with Anzori Iosifovich.

The relationship between Anastasia and Anzori lasted until the ballerina herself realized: everything that the patron could give her, she had already received. Anzori tried more than once to sort things out, but Nastya found unexpected protection from Lyudmila Narusova. The widow of the St. Petersburg mayor hoped that the ballerina would teach her wandering daughter some sense, and introduced Volochkova to Ksyusha. The girls turned out to be worthy of each other.

A few months after they met, Ksenia began to literally become hysterical only at the mention of Nastya’s name.

Volochkova, with her figure, manners and upbringing, had no difficulty in snatching away her fiancé, oil oligarch and publisher Vyacheslav Leibman

.

He, following Kerman, began showering Nastya with gifts and, they say, proposed, but this wedding, in turn, was ruined by Sobchak.

Leibman simply could not be in society with Volochkova. Everywhere they went, Ksyusha appeared and tried to pour champagne or wine on Nastya. Leibman updated his beloved’s wardrobe almost daily and, apparently, was not upset when Nastya announced the impossibility of further life together, and the next day she made Sobchak faces already in the company of the metallurgical oligarch Mikhail Zhivilo

.

Mikhail’s generosity did not raise any complaints, and Volochkova did not look at other men until the oligarch started getting into trouble with the law. The summons to the prosecutor's office coincided with the appearance of construction magnate Sergei Polonsky

. Nastya found herself between two fires. As a weak woman, she left it to the men to decide who would get her. They met, talked, and Volochkov came under the protection of Sergei.

Took her lover from Vetlitskaya

The billionaire, owner of the Stroymontazh corporation, president of one of the country's largest construction companies, spent more time in restaurants, clubs and presentations than in business negotiations.

Nastya was swimming in his money and love, but unexpectedly at the celebration of her 70th birthday she heard that her owner was Suleiman Kerimov

gave his passion Natalya Vetlitskaya a personal plane. That's what Volochkova was missing. Nastya took the time to impress the billionaire with her ballet stretching, and soon she already had new apartments in Moscow and St. Petersburg. But even this seemed not enough for Volochkova. Anastasia made every effort to get Kerimov away from the family. The peak of Nastya’s career can be considered his promise to think about divorce, since after this promising moment they did not meet again. Suddenly finding herself without oligarchic support, Volochkova was fired from the Bolshoi Theater. Torn between theater and finding a sponsor, Volochkova switched from billionaires to millionaires and, in a state of nervous breakdown, met Igor Vdovin. An intelligent, wealthy man seemed to her like a quiet haven in which to wait out the storm, and Nastya decided to live for a while without personal planes. This time, we must understand, is over.

By the way

Sobchak bursts into nervous laughter every time Volochkova is mentioned in front of her, and does not call her anything other than “Moscow’s main vacuum cleaner.” Let us remember that the ballerina received this nickname for her unique ability to clean out the pockets of wealthy fans.

Yoga has a positive effect on Volochkova’s husband’s potency!

Dossier

* Igor Vdovin, 44 years old, graduated from Kuban Law University with a degree in jurisprudence, Doctor of Law, Chairman of the Board of the National Direct Investment Agency (NAPI). Owns shares of the Astrakhan international port "Olya" and the Astrakhan gas and oil company.

* I met ballerina Anastasia Volochkova in 2004, on a plane returning from Sochi. For the sake of new love, he left his common-law wife with three children. A year later, Nastya gave birth to a daughter, Ariadne. Alexander Shokhin became the godfather. Vdovin entered into an official marriage with the ballerina on a happy day - July 7, 2007. However, the good omen, alas, did not work.

Ballet prima Anastasia Volochkova shed tears from the pages of a glossy weekly magazine, and on her website posted pathetic outpourings about her divorce from her husband, businessman Igor Vdovin. Nastya called the Moscow “YogaDOM” the main enemy of her sugary caramel family happiness, which she demonstrated to the public at every opportunity. In it, her husband was allegedly turned into a zombie. However, Rimma Pavlovna Vdovina, the businessman’s mother, has a different opinion. And Igor’s coach, Maria Mitrofanova, turned out to be not a scary sectarian at all, but a pretty young woman.

Reading the revelations of the dancer-party girl Volochkova, you just want to wipe away a tear and blow your nose into a handkerchief.

After all, just a year ago, Igor Vdovin, clinging Nastya to a hot air balloon so that she would fly over Catherine’s estate in St. Petersburg, on the day of their breathtakingly pompous wedding, promised to make her life a fairy tale. And then God knows what: the businessman doesn’t want to have sex with his wife, gave up meat, quit smoking hookah and drinking Nastya’s favorite hot cognac with honey, began to follow a daily routine, stopped accompanying her at parties. And all because he was sucked into a dangerous quagmire - the mysterious “YogaHOME”.

- They are zombifying him there, Igor needs to be saved as soon as possible, pulled out of this psychological dependence! - Nastya begged from the pages of the glossy and asked to deal with the yogis who took her husband away from her.

It was not Igor who flinched

To save is to save. The first thing I did was call the businessman’s mother, deciding to take her as an ally in the fight against terrible evil.

— Is it true that Igor, having taken up yoga, changed beyond recognition? As a mother, do you notice this?

- What nonsense! He is OK. But yoga has nothing but benefits, it’s just physical exercise.

- Why then are they getting divorced?

“Yoga definitely has nothing to do with it,” Rimma Pavlovna Vdovina cooled my ardor.

…The yogis’ lair is located a three-minute walk from the ballerina’s house, on Petrovsky Lane. They hid in a cozy basement. As soon as you enter, you are drowned in a pleasant sweetish aroma and relax to the sound of quiet ethnic music. I’ll admit right away: Nastya was not lying that people are almost undressing here. The first thing I had to do was take off my shoes and walk into the cafe on the heated floor in my socks - that’s the way it is here. Employees of various offices located in the neighborhood come here for lunch without fear of falling into serious dependence. The food here is not for everyone - teas with herbs and cereals with seasonings and vegetables.

According to Masha Mitrofanova, Vdovin’s coach, Igor first came to this basement in the summer. I was just curious while passing by and wanted to experience the wonders of exotic yoga for myself. I tried it and liked it.

“Nastya complains that you took her husband away from her, she says he disappears from you almost all day long.”

“Igor practices 4-5 times a week for an hour and a half,” Masha clarified. — Anastasia assures us that we are pumping money out of him, but here is the price list: a subscription for 12 individual lessons with a trainer costs 38 thousand rubles. Our price is even lower than in similar Moscow yoga centers. Igor doesn’t pay a penny more than other visitors.

Volochkova has never visited “YogaDOM” and, perhaps, that’s why she has no idea what her husband is doing here.

— Igor performs a system of exercises for joint mobility, strengthening and stretching the muscle corset.

As a result, the internal organs warm up and the body is cleansed of waste and toxins,” Masha conducts a small educational program. — The desire to smoke and drink disappears. People give up unhealthy foods and often switch to vegetarian food. Naturally, a person becomes uninterested in hanging out until 2-3 am, because this contradicts biological cycles. That's all the passions are. We are open, and anyone can come in and see that yoga has nothing to do with religion: Orthodox, Buddhists, Muslims, and atheists practice with us. Therefore, what kind of zombification can we talk about? With those who train with us, if changes occur, they are positive. Igor quit smoking and drinking alcohol - what's wrong with that? It’s probably a shame for the wife to lose him from her sphere of interests, because she herself is not ready to change.

Shudhi jokes...

As soon as the news of the divorce appeared, many people who knew Igor well suggested that it was not a matter of yoga at all, but of the yogi, that is, of the trainer.

In “YogaDOM” Masha is called by a different name - Shudha. She chose it because she became interested in reading Rabindranath Tagore's books. In one of his plays there is a girl with that name, the daughter of a flower gardener. Translated, Shudha means pure and bright. When talking, Masha really radiates warmth, and her clear eyes attract the interlocutor almost like a witch.

Life on display with an eccentric ballerina could simply tire a businessman. After all, it’s hard to always be in sight and play along with your spouse’s ambitions.

Nastya herself mentioned this:

“Igor even said that he regrets that because of me he was also forced to become a public person...

And in “YogaDOM” you don’t have to strain, you can relax, become yourself and, moreover, communicate with the nice trainer Masha. She completely rejects Volochkova’s words that yoga has made Igor almost impotent:

— Yoga does not require either asceticism or sexual abstinence. I’m doing well, and everyone who works with us is doing well too: families and children, and everything is great. Sometimes people came to us who had problems in bed. Sometimes this is associated with ovarian dysfunction, prostatitis.

Hatha yoga normalizes this area. Well, if interest in your partner ends, then this is probably due to something else, perhaps with a loss of spiritual intimacy.

By the way, an interesting pattern has emerged: Igor Vdovin gets married, gives birth to children and gets divorced about once every four years. Before Nastya, he lived in a civil marriage with a girl named Elena. She gave birth to the businessman’s daughter Valeria and sons Igor and Dima. And before meeting Elena, as people who know Igor well say, he lived with another girl, with whom he also has a daughter. Here’s how a visitor to one of the sites discussing the stunning news about Volochkova’s divorce joked: “Yoga clearly has nothing to do with it - the guy’s tendency is this: he fell in love, conceived, set sail. Now we are waiting for a Buddhist woman, to whom Vdovin will father about five more children, and, having become carried away, for example, by Islam, will again file for divorce.”

However, the latter is, of course, a joke. Or is it Shudha?

Special opinion

The imaginary separation from her husband is a well-thought-out PR stunt

Larisa Kudryavtseva

, paparazzi "Express Newspapers"

“Anastasia and Igor demonstrated love in every possible way at social events - they held hands, looked at each other with languid glances, and kissed constantly. That's why the news of their unexpected separation shocked the entire party. But, after thinking a little and comparing some facts, I came to an equally unexpected conclusion: perhaps there was no trace of any separation. The separation game is a well-planned PR campaign.

"It can not be! Such things are no joke!” - the first thing I heard in response to my timid assumptions.

What can you answer to this? In show business they still joke. And not only, I note, family values, but also the most precious thing - health. Let us remember the recent “severe and incurable” illness of our universal favorite Philip Kirkorov. Then, let me remind you, Philip hired a new PR agent who had previously worked in a newspaper that specialized in inventing various rumors. The new press secretary competently got to work - and the newspapers were full of terrible headlines: “Kirkorov has cancer!”, “A terminally ill artist does not cancel his concerts!” At this very time, the singer, quite healthy and full of energy, was planning his summer party with all his might, calculating in his mind how many additional thousands of people would come and buy a ticket to look at him, his beloved, for the “last time”. In a word, the action was a success. And the singer, when he collected money, was magically cured.

How harmless against this background seems the PR move of the same Bori Moiseev, who “passed off” a basic facelift as a car accident - several publications published photos of the singer stretched out in bandages in a hospital room...

Sergei Zhigunov and his “beautiful nanny” Anastasia Zavorotnyuk proved to be a brilliant PR man. All his ideas work out perfectly. The last of them is the imaginary wedding of Nastya and Pyotr Chernyshev, allegedly taking place in Crimea. By the way, there, just a hundred meters from the place where the pseudo-wedding was organized, are the vineyards of Sergei Viktorovich...

But let's return to the other Nastya. As you know, any PR campaign requires compelling reasons. In other words, why is it necessary to warm up the audience's interest? Why go through all the fuss? And so, having carefully studied Nastya’s tearful interviews of recent days, towards the end I definitely read: “Soon I will open my Creative Center of Anastasia Volochkova.”

This turns out to be where the dog is buried!

My last doubts disappeared when I looked at the ballerina’s official website. It was there that I read that on October 1, the Creative Center of Anastasia Volochkova entered into an agreement for comprehensive PR services with a well-known PR agency. The cooperation includes the creation of a new trademark, website development, full representation in the media, and so on.

Where to start with this “performance”? What publication in their right mind and sober memory would advertise Volochkova’s new Creative Center for free? But if you could come up with something like that... Well, for example, my husband left. Note, not to another woman, but just... to yoga!

Moreover, note that this innocent idea does not threaten Anastasia in any way - after all, you can return from yoga just as safely as you can leave there!

I will try to predict the outcome of this story. Nastya, having suffered and suffered, because she described in vivid colors how uncomfortable she is now sleeping alone in bed, decides, too, out of grief, to do yoga. And - oh, miracle! — meets his “ex” in the hall! They both continue to practice intricate poses... Yoga brings them closer together. And the friendly family is restored. And most importantly, during the crisis, the family budget was saved, which otherwise would have to be invested in the promotion of the Volochkova Creative Center.

All Volochkova's children

The only daughter from her second husband Igor Vdovin is called Ariadne. The girl is now in her teens and has not yet decided what she will become. She has a talent for literature and poetry. Ariadna writes poetry not only in Russian, but also in English, and also draws well. Anastasia brings her up in strictness, but supports her creative endeavors.

Anastasia Volochkova is against her daughter following in her footsteps. If Ariadne wants to engage in creativity, it would be better if it were vocals or acting, but not ballet.

Ariadne lives with her father and visits her mother periodically. Vdovin adores the child, gives expensive gifts, pays for travel and studies at an elite lyceum.

Latest news about the personal life of the media star

Now Anastasia Volochkova tells everywhere that she lives with a new man who loves her immensely and pleases her with gifts. The ballerina hides who this mysterious suitor is, only noting that she is in no hurry to legitimize the relationship so as not to be disappointed again.

In this regard, rumors spread that in reality Volochkova had no one, and confessions about new love were just another PR stunt. Journalists are at a loss. Someone hints that the ballerina’s beau is a certain rich man of non-Slavic appearance. Others are convinced that Anastasia Volochkova secretly married Sergei Astakhov. But all this is just gossip, which cannot be confirmed.
