Personal life of Emin Agalarov
But it’s much more interesting to watch Emin’s successes in his personal life. His first chosen one, and later his wife, was no less than the daughter of Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev, Leyla Aliyeva.
The couple legalized their relationship in 2006 and had two lavish weddings - in Baku and Moscow, receiving congratulations, including from Vladimir Putin and George Bush.
A few years later, Emin and Leila became parents: they had twins Mikail and Ali. After this, discord arose in the family. It was rumored that their divorce in 2015 was a pure formality, since Emin had long lived his own life, trying to hide numerous novels, including with Keti Topuria.
The couple separated peacefully and without scandal, and Emin proved himself to be an exemplary father and even considers the daughter adopted by Leila to be his own.
In the summer of 2021, the singer decided to walk down the aisle again - this time with model Alena Gavrilova. Unlike his first marriage, Emin’s parents did not support this one, and his father did not even show up for the wedding. But this is not surprising: Leila was the president’s daughter with an impeccable reputation, and Emin’s new chosen one has only “Miss Mordovia” 2004 and a child from the oligarch Rustam Tariko among her titles.
However, for several years on social networks, Emin and Alena demonstrated a complete family idyll. Alena gave the businessman a daughter, Athena, and nothing foreshadowed trouble, as in May 2021, Emin announced a divorce on social networks. And Alena on the same day asked her subscribers not to bombard her with questions, but to let her get over the shock.

The famous singer was called the mistress of Emin Agalarov
The news that Emin Agalarov was divorcing Alena Gavrilova came as a complete surprise to both fans and journalists. However, the notorious blogger Lena Miro was not at a loss and published fresh material in her LiveJournal, where she expressed her point of view.

Lena, citing “Ukrainian brothers,” reported that Emin broke up with his wife because he allegedly began dating the famous singer Nastya Kamenskikh. This is the same curvy brunette from the duet “Potap and Nastya”.
For some reason, Miro was not embarrassed by the fact that not so long ago Kamensky married her bandmate. Moreover, Lena claims that Potap and Nastya have a fictitious marriage, because Potap supposedly has a non-traditional sexual orientation, and Nastya was just a cover.
“As for my taste, fat Nastya also has the right to the left,” Lena Miro said in her characteristic manner. At the same time, the blogger does not feel sorry for the abandoned Alena Gavrilova. “I sincerely don’t understand Alena - why chew snot now? While I had the resource of youth and beauty, I provided myself with a financial cushion. Well, now let other girls try too, fight in the mud to become their favorite concubine (the author’s spelling and punctuation have been preserved. - Ed.),” Miro said.

The blogger’s post was received ambiguously on the Internet. Many simply did not believe that the charismatic, intelligent Emin Agalarov could cheat on his wife. Others considered the candidacy of Nastya Kamensky for the role of the alleged mistress very strange and implausible. Still others simply did not believe that Potap liked men and not women.
Let us remind you that on the evening of May 13, Emin Agalarov published a black and white wedding photo and thanked his wife for every day spent together. “You are an incredibly kind, special person,” the artist emphasized and said that the most important stage in their lives had come - raising a child together, their daughter Athena. Emin Agalarov promised to carry through his entire life a feeling of respect for his wife.
Then the fans, who understood little, began asking Alena Gavrilova about what had happened. The model asked to leave her alone: “Give me time to come to my senses, please! It's very painful and difficult for me! And today is mom’s birthday..."
