Biography
Tsymbalyuk-Romanovskaya Vitalina Viktorovna was born on December 8, 1978 in Kyiv. Her nationality is half Ukrainian, half Jewish. Having discovered their daughter’s abilities, her parents sent her to a music school. Good results allowed her to become a laureate of a competition in Paris, where she amazed everyone with her piano playing. The girl decided to continue her studies and entered the National Music Academy of Ukraine named after P. I. Tchaikovsky.
In 2001, the young talent decides to go to Moscow. The Maimonides State Classical Academy opened its doors to the young pianist. Having graduated from the educational institution with flying colors, she becomes a teacher at the Faculty of World Musical Culture. Acquaintance with director Vladimir Yachmenev played a decisive role in the life of Tsymbalyuk-Romanovskaya. It was he who introduced the girl to Armen Dzhigarkhanyan.
Obsessive fan
Several years ago, very young Vitalina attended a performance with the participation of a famous actor. This was in 1994, when Armen Borisovich was still firmly on his feet and actively touring the country and neighboring countries. She was able to sneak into the dressing room and get an autograph from her idol.
In Moscow, she continued to look for meetings with Dzhigarkhanyan, trying to find out his phone number from friends. The elderly artist was flattered by the attention of the young charming girl, and from time to time he invited her to have lunch together.
The opportunity to get closer to the charismatic Armenian presented itself in 2002, when the actor found himself in a hospital bed with a mini-stroke. At that moment, only his own sister was next to him. Vitalina quickly took matters into her own hands and began actively caring for the artist. Armen Borisovich did not ignore her care and perseverance: he invited her to work in his theater. She was considered responsible for the musical part.
A long romance
The relationship between the two creative people was not easy. Dzhigarkhanyan was married at that time, but his wife had already been living abroad for many years. His sister told reporters that it took him a long time to get used to the fact that a young attractive blonde was next to him. He constantly pushed away and then brought the fan closer to him again. This couldn't last long. In 2015, he proposed to Vitalina. By that time, she was already the director of the Dzhigarkhanyan Theater. The honored actor could not entrust such a responsible position to the first person he came across, so everyone around him accepted it without any complaints.
Personal life of a pianist
As Tsymbalyuk-Romanovskaya herself says, she subconsciously believed that someday fate would bring her together with her idol and give her a chance at happiness.

The romance between the artist and his ward did not remain secret for long; they did not hide their relationship, however, until 2015, Armen was officially married to a woman with whom the actor did not live, since she lived in the USA. In 2015, he filed for divorce, and in 2021 he proposed marriage to his beloved Vitalina.
From the very beginning, Armen did not believe in the sincerity of feelings, but after a while the sultry beauty won his heart, since he never considered himself a handsome man who could conquer a woman like Vitalina. And already in February 2021, a secret wedding ceremony took place only for relatives and friends of the couple. At the time of the wedding, the groom was 80 years old and the bride was 36 years old.

Before the wedding, the actor felt very bad; the man had the flu, but, nevertheless, his health did not prevent him from tying the knot with the woman he loved.
Wedding
The celebration was scheduled for February 25, 2021. Shortly before this, the artist fell ill with the flu, and there was a possibility that the wedding would be postponed. But on the right day, Armen Borisovich appeared at the registry office in a strict black suit and in a good mood. Vitalina was already 36 years old at that time, but this marriage was her first. After the wedding, the young wife began talking about a possible addition to the family. She answered all questions from journalists that she did not treat her husband as a father and never forced him to formalize their relationship. They have known each other for more than 15 years and have lived together for the last five. The wedding was the logical conclusion of their long-running romance.
The actor himself was quite skeptical about the idea of having a child, since he believed that at the age of 80 only a complete adventurer could become a father. Blinded by love for his young wife, he actively began to share his acquired property with his ex-wife. He managed to sue her for an apartment, which he immediately transferred to Vitalina. And a year and a half later, their lives became public knowledge.
Scandal
The statement that his young wife was a thief and had deprived him of almost all his property came like a bolt from the blue. The actor accused Vitalina not only of self-interest, but also of attempted murder. The press could not ignore such accusations. Endless attempts began to get Vitalina to make any comments. The woman constantly avoided answering and declared that she loved her husband, and all his stories were only a figment of fantasy and the result of the influence of bad people on him.
Drastic measures
Without waiting for any explanations or justifications from his former lover, the actor files for divorce. This is how the love story of Vitalina Tsymbalyuk-Romanovskaya and Dzhigarkhanyan ended. But another epic began with scandals, trials and shocking statements. Trying to hide from public pressure, the woman goes abroad. But the question remains who will pay the multi-million dollar loan she took out to buy an apartment. Only close people from her circle knew where Tsymbalyuk-Romanovskaya was now. Reporters suspected something was wrong in such a hasty escape and attributed an affair to her with a massage therapist whom she regularly visited in Tbilisi. The woman had to take a lie detector test to confirm her fidelity and non-involvement in her ex-husband’s illness. He previously accused her of slipping him pills that made him feel bad. To confirm this, he cites the fact that after separation from Vitalina, his health became much better.
Tsymbalyuk-Romanovskaya managed to make several loud statements during the entire time the divorce process lasted. In particular, she talked about how she was a virgin, and Armen Borisovich became the first and only man. Then she changed her mind about divorcing the actor and filed an appeal. This caused a great stir, as the woman was suspected of self-interest. She had a huge loan hanging on her, and she simply did not have the opportunity to pay it off alone. By that time, she had already lost her job and did not have a stable income.
Career in the theater field
The couple first got to know each other in 2000. At that time, the girl was 21 years old, and she was a graduate of the National Academy of Music in Kyiv. They met thanks to Vitalina’s close friend, who worked as an administrator at the Lesya Ukrainka Russian Drama Theater. The pianist’s friend passed a note with the number to the actor, and soon Dzhigarkhanyan called her back and invited her to a meeting.

Rumor has it that it was with Armen’s light hand that the young girl moved to Russia and began studying at the Moses Maimonides Academy. When the actor was hospitalized with a mini-stroke in 2002, Vitalina helped his sister Marina Borisovna take care of the artist.
After this, Armen Dzhigarkhanyan decides to stage his own musical production and invites Vitalina to work together, having a musical education, she helped the actors learn songs. Later, she headed the music department of the Moscow Drama Theater under the direction of Armen Dzhigarkhanyan, where she began working in 2008. In 2015, she became the director of the theater.

However, since 2011, conflicts began to occur within the theater staff, as a result of which almost all talented actors left the troupe. The reason for this, as former members of the team say, was Vitalina, who, for the slightest problems, filed complaints with Armen, who, in order not to upset the woman he loved, fired the actors.
Former colleagues filed many lawsuits due to groundless dismissals, but all court decisions were in favor of the theater . According to Vitalina, after unscrupulous employees left the theater, the creative atmosphere was revived, and work became much easier and more enjoyable.

Two years later, a new scandal broke out around the theater. In the winter of 2017, actress Dana Nazarova filed a lawsuit against Tsymbalyuk-Romanovskaya for her dismissal, which she considered illegal. The director explained that the woman’s removal from duties was justified, and the trial became a reason for the artist to promote herself at the expense of the theater.
Suspicions
Be that as it may, Vitalina managed to achieve her goal, the divorce was annulled. This led to new rumors and speculation. Gossip spread that all this fuss around the famous couple was arranged on purpose. The couple decided to promote themselves in such a high-profile case. But everyone who loves revelations and intrigue had to take their words back when, on January 31, 2021, the Kuntsevsky Court of Moscow decided to dissolve the marriage.
After everything he experienced, the famous actor’s health deteriorated significantly. Scandalous programs on federal channels aired so often that he managed to watch several episodes. The accounts of Dzhigarkhanyan's ex-wife were arrested, as was her apartment. Several court cases are still ongoing. But all this worries the young woman little, since other interests have appeared in her life. Soon everyone found out where Tsymbalyuk-Romanovskaya was now and why she stopped commenting on her divorce.
Scandalous divorce from an actor
However, the family idyll did not last long; in 2017, Vitalina turned to law enforcement agencies with a request to find her husband, who had been kidnapped.

On one of the live TV shows, the journalist said that the actor was in the hospital and his life was not in danger. Armen categorically forbade letting his wife into the room. According to Dzhigarkhanyan, his wife is involved in financial fraud and has fleeced him completely. Later it became known that he left a written order at the theater to dismiss Tsymbalyuk-Romanovskaya from her position and from the theater as a whole.
A close friend of Dzhigarkhanyan said that a couple of years before the scandal, the artist’s wife changed the rules of the theater. It turns out that Armen Borisovich is the artistic director of the theater, and all important management decisions are made by the general director, who is Vitalina. That is, if she wants, she can fire Armen Borisovich, but he can’t fire her.

Vitalina was also accused of having all her husband’s property, as well as bank accounts, registered in her name. Lawyer Tsymbalyuk-Romanovskaya said that long before the wedding she had personal property and accounts to which Armen had nothing to do.
Unable to withstand severe pressure from her ex-husband, as well as an army of close friends and fans who sympathized with him, she went home with her parents, turned off all pages on social networks and did not answer calls.
Just friends
The random photo again stirred up the public. A photograph in which Vitalina Tsymbalyuk-Romanovskaya and Prokhor Chaliapin enter the registry office building raised a wave of yet another hot gossip and speculation. The smiling couple holds hands and there is no doubt that there is more than friendship between these two people.
Vitalina herself refuses to admit that they are in a love relationship, stating that they had other matters at the registry office. They did not submit any application. But, knowing that Prokhor has tender feelings for women who are much older than him, many immediately suspected something was wrong. Fans of the young singer are watching with interest the development of this story and hope that this time the guy will not be left with nothing. Who knows, maybe soon everyone will see photographs of Prokhor Chaliapin and Vitalina Tsymbalyuk-Romanovskaya in wedding dresses?
