Soso Pavliashvili is a popular singer, widely known throughout the Russian Federation. Fans called him the king of oriental music, the tuning fork of Georgia and other pleasant titles. It’s no wonder that Soso’s personal life is of great concern to his fans, especially female fans.
A favorite of women at all times
Childhood and youth
Soso was born in the Georgian capital Tbilisi in the family of architect Ramin Iosifovich, a Georgian by nationality, and housewife Aza Alexandrovna. Pavliashvili’s musical biography began in early childhood. And this is no coincidence: under the zodiac sign Cancer, which patronizes the singer, many creative personalities were born.
While still a preschooler, the future singer entered a music school, where he began to master the violin. Hard work and many hours of practice yielded quick results: the boy soon began performing at regional and republican competitions and festivals.
The violin really fascinated Joseph, so after graduating from music and secondary schools, he entered the Tbilisi Conservatory, specifically in the field of violin playing. Pavliashvili did not study classics for long: after the first year he was drafted into the army.
Childhood, childhood, where did you go...

Soso Pavliashvili in childhood
He was assigned to Latvia, in the air force, and soon showed his creative side here too. During his mandatory service, Soso moved away from classical music and joined the stage. Therefore, after receiving a university diploma, the young man got a job in the vocal and instrumental ensemble “Iveria”.
The guy only worked there for a year, because one day Pavliashvili had to put the instrument aside and go to the microphone. This happened in Canada as part of a concert dedicated to the Winter Olympic Games in Calgary. Soso presented to the public his own performance of the famous Georgian song “Suliko”, and this performance literally shocked those present.
Soon Pavliashvili, as a solo artist, received the Grand Prix at the vocal festival in Jurmala and gradually gained more and more popularity. A notable feature of Soso’s repertoire is that the singer writes music for the vast majority of his own hits, occasionally resorting to the services of the most famous Russian and Georgian composers.

Personal life
Soso Pavliashvili is not a regular on the pages of the yellow press. On the contrary, if they write about him, it is mainly about his creativity - as a singer, composer and actor. In the personal life of the Georgian vocalist there were three serious novels that are known to fans.
The first wife of the famous singer was Nino Uchaneishvili, with whom Soso maintained warm friendly relations even after the divorce. Moreover, these people are united by a common child, son Levan. Pavliashvili’s first-born, by the way, did not follow in his father’s footsteps.
He graduated from the Suvorov School, studied at a military university in his youth and became a military man. Later, the young man left his profession and today works as a manager in his father’s restaurant.

Soso Pavliashvili in his youth
The man’s second love was the pop star Irina Ponarovskaya. They did not enter into a formal agreement, but lived in a de facto marriage for several years. And since 1997, Pavliashvili has lived with singer Irina Patlakh, with whom he has two children - his beloved daughters Elizaveta and Sandra.
Soso met the future mother of his children in the recording studio where Irina came to work. The girl was 16 years old at that time. The age difference (16 years) initially confused the artist; for a long time he did not dare to show feelings for Irina. The platonic romance lasted until the singer came of age, after which a serious relationship began between them.
Soso and Irina lived in a civil union for 17 years, and in 2014, right from the stage where he performed, the singer proposed marriage to his beloved. Patlakh was touched by her husband’s action, but they decided to postpone marriage: both consider going to the registry office a formality. But at the end of 2020, Pavliashvili and Patlakh got married.

Fans regularly call the celebrity's wife a beauty and shower the couple with compliments.

Soso's life was repeatedly in danger. In 1996, he was involved in an accident and lost consciousness when the car hit the curb. The injury affected the musician’s health: for eight years he was tormented by epileptic attacks. The illness stopped with the birth of her eldest daughter Elizabeth. In 2013, due to an accidental fall, the singer injured his spine and required surgery.

Soso Pavliashvili, his wife and children
Pavliashvili has a 2-story mansion in Gribki near Moscow. A couple took 5 years to build a country house with an area of about 1 thousand m. The cottage has a large living room and seven bedrooms for large family members. On the site there is a guest house, a large spa area and a gym.
Here the singer not only meets with many friends, but also maintains physical fitness. With a height of 178 cm, the artist’s weight does not exceed 83 kg. Parents and children come to the Moscow region for the weekend, and during the week they live in a Moscow 4-room apartment. Now the man owns his own recording studio, restaurant and karaoke club.
Together with his wife, Soso often appears on television programs. In 2017, the couple visited the “Smak” program, where they presented a recipe for Georgian chakhokhbili and salad to the audience. A year later, Timur Kizyakov visited the artists’ house with the film crew of the “When Everyone is Home” program.
Nino Uchaneishvili's first wife: who is she, son Levan
Soso's first wife was Nino Uchaneishvili, whom the singer met at the conservatory. They were married from 1985 to 1997. Joseph's son, Levan, was born in the marriage in August 1987. His father sent him to the Suvorov School, after which the young man entered the Military Technical University.
While still married to Nino, Soso simultaneously dated a couple of women.
The entertainer claims that he is on friendly terms with his ex-wife
Levan soon left military service, preferring to work as a manager in his father’s restaurant.
Music
The success of Soso Pavliashvili’s hits lies in the fact that the musician is one of the few performers who are able to express strong passion, tenderness, and love through singing from a masculine perspective.
The first studio album, “Music for Friends,” was released in 1993 and immediately attracted the attention of a female audience. The following records “Sing with me” and “Me and You” only strengthened Pavliashvili’s popularity.
Soso has released many full-length albums and collections, each of which contains love lyrics, soulful lyrics and gentle romantic melodies. “To please,” “You and I,” “Let’s pray for our parents,” “I won’t call you by name” became big hits over the years.
The celebrity often performs in duets with other artists. For example, together with Lyubov Uspenskaya Pavliashvili sang the song “Stronger than before”, with Leonid Agutin - the hit “Some Thousand Years”, and together with Larisa Dolina he sang the soulful composition “I Love You”.
In 2015, at the New Wave, Soso Pavliashvili performed “Without You” together with the A-Studio team. Later, the artist’s repertoire was enhanced by the song “Good Evening,” which he presented together with Alexander Buinov. And the man actually fought with Abraham Russo in the TV show “Musical Ring”.
Pavliashvili’s solo hit of 2015 was the song “Don’t Guess at Love,” as well as the music video released for it. In addition, the Georgian singer often goes on stage with his compatriots. The song “Night Without You” recorded with Tamara Gverdtsiteli and the composition “White Veil” with Valery Meladze were loved by fans. Often the guests of the artist’s concerts are his friends. So, together with Stas Mikhailov, Pavliashvili performed a song from his repertoire, “The Sky in the Palm of Your Hand.”
In 2021, Soso wrote a letter to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Azerbaijan, asking the ministry to lift the ban on the singer from performing in the country, which he received back in 2004, when, together with other artists, he gave a concert on the territory of the unrecognized Nagorno-Karabakh Republic.
The government condemned the actions of the artists and recognized the performance as a threat to the development of relations between Russia and Azerbaijan. After this, it was decided not to invite the musicians who performed in Nagorno-Karabakh to the country, and also to ban radio and television broadcasts of their performances.

Soso Pavliashvili and Stas Mikhailov
After a letter in which Pavliashvili recognized the value of Azerbaijani culture and expressed respect for the traditions and people of the country, and also noted the famous hospitality of the residents, the musician received permission to perform in the country.
A month after this, Soso Pavliashvili performed in Baku at the Heydar Aliyev Palace. He gave a solo charity concert.
In the summer of 2021, the performer performed in Baku again, this time becoming a participant in the Zhara International Music Festival.
In 2021, Soso presented the composition “My Melody” and began filming a video for this song.
At the same time, the musician’s producer Georgy Gabelaev, who is also the singer’s godson, suffered greatly during a conflict with neighbors. He came to the capital for work and stayed with friends in a communal apartment, where after a conflict the neighbors beat the man with a metal pipe and then shot him.
Movies
Soso Pavliashvili tried his hand at cinema. Moreover, this was not only participation in a cameo format, which happens with other musicians. The man played full-fledged roles in the comedy sitcom “Daddy’s Daughters,” the ironic series “Matchmakers,” and the crime film “Ice Age.”
Most of all, the singer has performed musical holiday tales such as “The Newest Adventures of Pinocchio”, “The Kingdom of Crooked Mirrors”, “The New Adventures of Aladdin” and others. It’s not just his friends who talk about Pavliashvili’s sense of humor. The public was able to verify this during Soso’s performance at the Comedy Club concert in Jurmala, where he shared the stage with Demis Karibidis.
Murder charges
As often happens, joyful days were suddenly darkened by tragic events. In March 2013, Soso's friend, famous businessman Avtandil Aduashvili, was found murdered.
The public was dismayed that the Tbilisi police had issued an official arrest warrant for the singer. Soso Raminovich was the main suspect in the case - it was believed that he could be the mastermind of the murder.
Soso Pavliashvili was accused of murder
At first, the investigation did not clarify the circumstances, but only further confused the investigators. The vortex of justice sucked in at least six more people, among whom was Soso Pavliashvili’s brother-in-law, Vakhtang Chkhapelia.
The proceedings dragged on for a long time, and the country followed the development of events with bated breath, trying not to miss a single detail of the complicated incident. The result was that the charges were dropped: Soso Pavliashvili was released.
