Irina Amanti is the wife and producer of the famous Russian performer Vadim Kazachenko. She used to live in America, where she married a millionaire, from whom she took her last name, since her maiden name was Kolbasova. She comes from Odessa, from a Jewish family.
Irina Kolbasova was born in 1968 in Ukraine. Over time, she moved to live in the United States of America and found herself a rich husband there, with whom she gave birth to a daughter, Tatyana. But the husband died and left all his millions to Amanti. She spent them all and came to live in Moscow.
Childhood and youth
Irina does not tell reporters about her childhood, family and hometown. Apparently, the woman even hides her date of birth, or perhaps she does not consider it necessary to make a frank report on her own past.

However, according to information leaked to the Internet, but not confirmed by Irina, the heroine of numerous talk shows was born in Odessa in May 1968 under the name Kolbasova.
The focus for Amanti is her husband, who is also a mentee artist, since Irina produces the singer. On the woman’s Facebook and Instagram pages there are photos with her beloved, information about endless trials and not a word about what happened in her life before the fateful meeting with Kazachenko.

Live, take care of each other, especially since you are already legal spouses, even if not, who cares, well, Olga caught Vadim, let her be happy, let her be happy that she gave birth to a talented man, we mere mortals don’t have such squabbles, I raised 2 children myself, I didn’t even file for child support, and he didn’t I paid, God gave me strength and health, now I have 4 granddaughters, everything is fine! Well, the man doesn’t want to live with her, which is why she’s always indignant. To be honest, she has the eyes of an abnormal woman. I’ll be happy for you!
A self-respecting woman will not hold on to such a CREATURE, I think that says it all.
Career
Before meeting the star of Russian show business, Irina was very successful in her career: in addition to being the wife of a millionaire husband, she successfully and profitably owned a chain of spa salons in the USA.
Back in 1995, when the Russian singer Vadim Kazachenko was shining at the peak of his popularity, Irina organized and financed his concert in the States. As Amanti recalled in an interview with Tele.ru, living in America, she had absolutely no idea about such an artist and agreed to work with him at the request of a friend.
Producer Irina Amanti
Russian by nationality, Irina married an Italian, thanks to whom she received a sonorous surname and moved to the States. After the hot-tempered husband learned that Irina had fallen in love with a Russian singer and was divorcing him, he sold his wife’s business.
However, an active and talented woman, clearly not lacking in organizational skills, began working with Kazachenko. Thanks to her, the singer’s concerts and tours took place in the 2000s. Irina became not only a producer, but also a director and personal assistant to the artist. She took upon herself all issues related to Kazachenko’s career.
Biography of Irina
Ira was born in Odessa. When she was already married and gave birth to a girl, Tatyana, her family decided to move to relatives in America. Irina’s parents earned decent money in Odessa, so they took a large amount of money with them. Upon arrival in America, they invested their capital in the business, but it failed. Due to money problems, conflicts began in families. As a result, Irina and her husband and her parents divorced.
Irina took on any job in America to support herself and her daughter and help her parents and her younger brother. During this period, a rich Italian man, Amanti, appeared in the woman’s life and persistently sought her attention. Ira immediately warned that she had a large family that needed to be supported. This did not bother the Italian, and soon Irina became a married lady with the sonorous surname Amanti.
Having married a millionaire, Ira decided not to sit idle and began to do business. She created her own beauty spa, became a co-owner of Russian Radio in the USA, and organized concerts. Amanti earned several million dollars a year, traveled all over the world, but was not happy. She and her husband were too different and did not understand each other. Ira first thought about divorce when she was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. The husband, having learned about the illness, offered to put things in order in the accounting department so that in the event of death it would be easier for him to deal with her business.
Ira discussed the upcoming divorce with her family, but they did not support her. Dad was very ill, his brother and daughter needed to be educated, so Amanti decided to save the profitable marriage. But when the relatives’ situation improved, Ira still filed for divorce.
Personal life
Love and relationship with Vadim Kazachenko, the drama that flared up in the family, difficult trials, as well as scandals are the most illuminated part of Amanti’s life. Having met the singer in 1995, Irina did not immediately decide on a romantic relationship. Although, according to Amanti, from the first minute she felt like a loved one in Vadim.

At first, the couple’s relationship did not go beyond friendship and business. A little later, the singer turned to his American friend with a request to help him with a delicate medical procedure for a hair transplant. However, after conducting a preliminary examination, doctors discovered hepatitis in the artist. As it turned out, Kazachenko contracted a dangerous disease at the dentist.
A long and difficult treatment followed, during which Amanti helped the singer, supporting him not only morally, but also financially. In addition, the artist lived with the Amanti family, becoming closer and closer to the woman.

In 1998, misfortune happened to Irina. The woman was diagnosed with cancer. According to the businesswoman’s recollections, she managed to get out with difficulty, undergoing two operations and chemotherapy procedures. Unfortunately, for the millionaire husband, his wife’s physical and moral experiences did not seem serious. Irina did not receive any support from him.
Irina did not think long about divorcing her previous husband, despite his wealth and position in society. The presence of a daughter, Tatyana, did not save the family. By the way, Amanti has no other children, and the already grown girl lives in the States.

According to Irina, the Italian treated her like a beautiful thing; the woman had to look good and please the eye, like a bright toy. She could not have any problems, and the solution to the difficulties that arose for her husband was another purchase of precious jewelry or an expensive fur coat.
Troubles continued to haunt the newly-made couple - Kazachenko’s health was under attack. Furunculosis was added to hepatitis, and there was no trace of immunity left. The artist was exhausted and exhausted. Then caring Irina found a doctor who proposed an experimental treatment, the result of which no one gave guarantees. The woman paid for the medicine, and, fortunately, the drug helped.

Evil fate did not leave the lovers. Kazachenko’s mother became seriously ill. The cancer metastasized to the spine, paralyzing the woman and depriving the doctors of positive prognoses.
After another tour in Croatia, a new problem appeared - Irina was diagnosed with a hernia in her spine, as a result of which the producer lost the ability to walk and was forced to sit in a chair. Hormonal medications and painful helplessness did not decorate the woman.
Vadim Kazachenko and Olga Kazachenko
Kazachenko succumbed to the charm of a young fan, Olga Martynova. Soon Vadim left Irina and married a new lover. However, the singer did not advertise this event, and they learned about the existence of Olga Kazachenko after the couple’s high-profile separation.
Irina took Vadim back, forgave him and supported him. The singer’s mother died, his new wife, according to his confession, did not live with him and only appeared for the next amount of money.

However, the young wife had her own point of view on the events taking place. The girl announced her own pregnancy, and when Kazachenko refused to acknowledge paternity, she went for support to the “Let Them Talk” program, where she declared the artist’s meanness.
Immediately after this there followed a series of filming, interviews and real harassment of the parties on the Internet. Users and TV viewers were divided into two camps: some support Kazachenko and Amanti, others Olga.
Amanti and Kozachenko
Irina and Vadim met in America in 1996. Amanti organized the artist’s concerts in the USA. During the tour, Kozachenko became seriously ill. Irina made every effort to ensure that the singer received medical care and supported him morally. Amanti and Kozachenko became close, but there was no romance between them.
And many years later, in 2005, Amanti flew with her daughter to Moscow. She and Vadim met, and the businesswoman invited him on tour to America. After the concerts, Amanti and Kozachenko went for the weekend. During these few days, Irina’s husband managed to sell her business using forged documents and file for divorce. The woman, having lost everything, made an unexpected decision to become director of Kozachenko.
Having already arrived in Moscow, Irina confessed her feelings to Vadim, and he brought her to his house. She became not only his common-law wife, but also his director, producer and personal assistant. Thanks to her, Kozachenko was able to devote himself entirely to creativity, and not think about everyday and financial issues.
In 2013, Irina had health problems. Due to a spinal injury, she had to take hormones. Taking medications affected Amanti's character and appearance. She gained excess weight and became irritable. During this period, Vadim began dating a young girl, Olga Martynova, for Irina. And when Amanti went to America on business, he married his mistress in April 2014.
Irina was very upset about the betrayal of her loved one, but did not lose hope of getting him back. The family life of Kozachenko and Martynova did not work out. The couple was unable to separate peacefully. All the details of their marriage and divorce were discussed on Channel 1. Kozachenko, Martynova and Amanti were several times the heroes of the TV show “Let Them Talk.” After this ugly story, Irina forgave Vadim. They got married in the spring of 2021.

In 2021, the couple Kazachenko and Amanti legalized their relationship. Vadim proposed after a fashion show in which his beloved participated. Irina agreed, and the couple had a modest, quiet wedding.

The wedding was overshadowed by the scandal hanging over the ceremony. Shortly before this, the marriage of the singer and Olga Kazachenko was declared fictitious, but lawyers challenged the decision. In court, a young mother demands alimony for her maintenance and upbringing of the child.

In general, the life of both parties consists of constant mutual claims, litigation and trips to programs in attempts to find out whether Olga’s child is Kazachenko’s son and who is right and who is wrong in the current situation. However, on her Instagram page, the cheerful Amanti publishes photos of a happy family life with her adored husband and their favorite dog, the Yorkie Greta.
Marriage to Olga Martynova
Kazachenko’s next marriage occurred at a time when the peak of his popularity was far behind him. 51-year-old Kazachenko was occasionally invited to performances in retro style, asked to come to a talk show or take part in some small event.
Olga Martynova is a longtime fan of the singer from Lyubertsy. Despite the fact that Kazachenko’s chosen one was 33 years old, she remained a loyal fan of the creativity of the 90s. Martynova knew all the singer’s songs by heart, closely followed the development of his career, and could demonstrate knowledge of the discography of the Freestyle group.
How we met
Vadim and Olga met at a time when the artist was going through a disagreement with his beloved woman, Irina Amanti. They began corresponding on one of the Internet forums dedicated to the work of the Freestyle group, then met in the real world.
Olga managed to interest Kazachenko, she told the story of her admiration for her idol, demonstrated knowledge of his work, which struck Kazachenko on the spot.
Marriage and family difficulties
Unexpectedly for all the people around him, Kazachenko proposed marriage to Martynova. The couple got married. The wedding was truly beautiful. The marriage was registered in winter, the young bride shone in a fashionable wedding dress, the groom was fit and fresh.
Olga and Vadim arranged several beautiful photo shoots, the pictures spread across the Internet. The public had the impression that both spouses were happy and loved.
It is not known how long the couple lived in peace and harmony. After 2 years of marriage, they already participated in talk shows and talked about their accumulated problems. Olga announced that she was expecting a child, and Kazachenko refused to recognize him as her heir. He revealed the details of their life together. It turned out that Kazachenko’s marriage to Martynova was a guest marriage from the very beginning. Sometimes they didn't communicate for several months.
At the same time, both spouses announced that they were preparing lawsuits in court. They dreamed of getting a divorce and dividing spheres of influence. Despite the fact that Kazachenko was not able to save much money in his life, he had something to fight for. He wanted to keep a luxuriously renovated house near Moscow.
The court awarded the house to Olga Martynova. During this period, real judicial confusion occurred. The court declared Kazachenko's marriage to Martynova invalid. At the same time, Martynova challenged this claim, and the court decision was overturned. The litigation lasted for several months, while Kazachenko ignored the processes.
Who is Philip's father anyway?
A whole series of programs entitled “Let Them Talk” on Channel One was devoted to the investigation. After the birth of the boy, Olga Martynova came to the show and demanded a DNA examination. It turned out that Philip is Kazachenko’s son.
According to the singer, the initiative to share details of his personal life belonged entirely to Martynova. He was against airing dirty laundry, but he followed his ex-wife's lead in trying to reveal the truth about their relationship.
All programs ended in scandals; the ex-husband and wife failed to reach mutual understanding on any of the issues. The presence of Amanti added fuel to the fire, supporting her beloved man and telling some details. She knew about them better than everyone else.
