Childhood and youth

Ekaterina was born in Moscow on January 24, 1978 in the family of housewife Svetlana Vladimirovna and free artist Alexander. A year after the birth of his daughter, the father was convicted of manslaughter, and the next time he saw Katya was only 12 years later.

The artist remembers her childhood years with a smile. She associates games, development and growing up with her sister Vika, who took a direct part in sisterly education. The girls were sent to camp together, and the sisters did small pranks, like smoking their first cigarette in the kitchen, together.

As a child, Katya was not an exemplary student. Exact sciences turned out to be darkness for her, so she had to pass exams cunningly. Klimova managed to bribe teachers with chocolates, flowers, and sometimes just a kind word. In the team, the girl was more than friendly. During trips to camp with her class, Katya began performing in theatrical productions. Since then, the dream of a big stage was born.

Elizaveta Khoroshilova graduated from the Lomonosov private school, an elite educational institution. She is interested in landscape design, plays the guitar, and in high school she made her debut in the stage production “Decembrists: A Feat in the Name of Love.”

When Klimova was involved in the filming of the series “Moscow Windows,” she played on the same set with Igor Petrenko. The young people met at school. Katya was one year older than her colleague. According to the script, the characters Klimova and Petrenko began a serious romance, which ended in a wedding.

The same thing happened in life. Klimova and Petrenko, playing love on camera, fell in love with each other, but after filming ended, each returned to their other halves. They were afraid of the feelings that arose, being obliged to loved ones and family.

A year later, everything turned upside down. Igor couldn’t get Ekaterina out of his head and eventually called. At that moment, the actress’s relationship with her husband began to collapse. When Ekaterina heard Petrenko’s voice on the telephone, she realized that she could no longer live without this man.

A month later, the couple moved in together, and soon Klimova and Petrenko got married. During their marriage, the couple gave birth to two beautiful sons, Korney and Matvey.

This union lasted 10 years, and in 2014, like a bolt from the blue, the news thundered: Ekaterina Klimova and Igor Petrenko officially filed for divorce. In fact, the family broke up in the summer of 2013. Some publications claimed that the reason was Katya’s fleeting romance.

During the filming of the film “Love in the City 3,” the paparazzi caught her in Los Angeles with Roman Arkhipov, the ex-lead singer of the Chelsea group. Ekaterina Klimova and the musician immediately ended their relationship, but this did not save the family.

Later in the interview, the celebrity asked for forgiveness from those who believed in their love with Igor and took their example from them. Petrenko, in a conversation with a journalist, placed most of the responsibility for the divorce on himself. Another man expressed the opinion that there is no better wife and mother than Catherine.

However, the man did not remain single for long. Already in the winter of 2014, it became known that the young actress Christina Brodskaya gave birth to a daughter for Igor, who was named Sofia-Karolina. On September 19, 2016, the couple legalized their relationship. The artists not only got married, but also got married. And on January 30, 2017, the couple had a second daughter.

For some time, Catherine managed to hide her personal life from prying eyes. However, rumors about the actress’s affair with Gela Meskhi, who is 8 years younger, still penetrated the press. The couple met on the set of the series “Wolf Heart” in Lviv.

At first, Catherine did not pay attention to the tall, black-haired guy. But Gela fell in love immediately. Meskhi has repeatedly claimed that he drowned in the green eyes of his future wife. Moreover, there was a case when an actor deliberately played a kiss scene poorly so that the director demanded that the take be reshot. The young man courted him beautifully, and Catherine gave in.

The lovers refused to comment on the relationship, but in June 2015 the media reported that Ekaterina Klimova and Gela Meskhi got married. At that time, the actress was already pregnant with her fourth child. On October 2, 2015, daughter Bella was born.

Later, journalists found out that Gela proposed to his beloved 2 times: the first - in the middle of New York's Central Park, and the second - on the Eiffel Tower.

The couple first appeared together publicly only in June 2017 at the closing of the Moscow Film Festival. That same year, there were rumors that the couple was on the verge of divorce. But Katya and Gela did not comment on such statements.

Catherine got the role of the ex-wife of Major Shein.

According to the plot, a fight broke out between Petrenko and Meskhi. Later in an interview, Gela admitted that he greatly respects Ekaterina’s ex-husband. The actor noted Igor’s professionalism and rejoiced at the chance to work with such an artist.

Jolie and Pitt met on the set of the film “Mr. and Mrs. Smith,” and they began an affair, but they decided to get married only in 2014. Since both actors have experience of unsuccessful marriages, they decided to sign a contract. The document was drawn up on 101 pages and provided for the procedure for dividing property. It also included a clause according to which, in the event of infidelity, Pitt would be deprived of the right to joint custody of the children.

The spouses' incomes vary: Angelina receives approximately $20 million per film, and Brad receives about $30 million. The agreement stated that money earned before marriage would not be divided between them. In this case, the funds acquired during the marriage will be divided equally between the children and placed in a trust fund so that they cannot be used prematurely.

The actress did not want to sign a contract, but it was Brad who persuaded her. In 2021, Angelina filed for divorce. Six children, including three adopted (Maddox, Pax and Zahara) and three biological (Shiloh, Knox and Vivienne), remained with their mother. The only thing that the marriage contract could not prevent was a dispute over joint custody of the children. Despite the fact that the court allowed Pitt to see them, Jolie constantly prevents this.
