Although Andrei Sokolov is already 58 years old, he continues to bear the title of ladies' man and heartthrob, women still show signs of attention to the actor and are keenly interested in his relationships.
It would seem that a popular and charismatic artist should not have problems with his personal life. However, today the man lives in splendid isolation; Andrei Sokolov’s wife left him 5 years ago, taking his only daughter with her. What was the reason for the divorce and what secrets of personal relationships is the actor hiding?
“X-Mission”, group: composition
The idea of creating a musical group consisting of beautiful, talented guys who lead a healthy lifestyle belonged to Andrei Sokolovsky. From his youth, he dreamed of organizing a group that did not yet exist on the Russian stage. And soon he managed to bring his idea to life.
At the end of the 1990s, “X-Mission” appeared - a group whose composition was selected by Sokolovsky himself. The main criteria for applicants are attractive appearance, musical education, and good vocal abilities. Dozens of young and handsome men took part in the casting. And only three lucky ones became members of the musical group. Who are they?
Children of Andrei Sokolov
Recently, Sofia Andreevna Sokolova celebrated her 10th anniversary. The girl demonstrates numerous talents: she is already trying herself as a model. The mother released her own clothing line and named it after her daughter. Little Sofia had the honor of demonstrating the collection.

Andrei Sokolov tries to visit his daughter in his free time. He enjoys spending time with Sonya. The man admits that children are the greatest joy. He would love to become a father again, but so far the actor does not have a contender for the role of wife and mother of future children. That's why he calls his children his disciples. Sokolov invests a lot of time and effort into them, hoping that they will become sought-after actors, masters of their craft.
Andrey Sokolovsky
Founder and leader of the X-Mission group. Born in the Ukrainian city of Krivoy Rog. Soon the family moved to Russia. The Sokolovskys managed to live in Norilsk, Yakutsk and Moscow. And finally “settled” in St. Petersburg. Andrey graduated from prestigious institutions - music and choreography. He also has training at the Ballet Academy named after. Vaganova. A worthy successor to the business is his son, Vlad Sokolovsky. After participating in the Star Factory project, the guy woke up famous. Although, as a child, he performed at concerts of the X-Mission group more than once.
Height, weight, age. How old is Vlad Sokolovsky
The guy, in such a short time, gained great fame, which is something great for his age, and gathered around him many fans of his talent. And they, in turn, can’t wait to find out everything about their idol, his height, weight, age. How old is Vlad Sokolovsky is an equally popular question.
So, the height of this wonderful artist is 178 centimeters, with a weight of 70 kilograms. These are the external characteristics that Vlad Sokolovsky possesses at the age of 26. Photos in youth and now, more precisely, not in youth, but in childhood, can be found in decent quantities only after a little browsing on the Internet.
Changes
The last soloist of the group was Andrei Medvedsky. He came to Moscow from Belarus, where he graduated from a choreographic school and worked in the local theater.
The quintet did not last long. Valentin Forostyany announced his resignation. A beloved woman appeared in his life. And for her sake the guy refused publicity. Together with her, they sing in the church choir and are also members of a charitable foundation.
How long did the X-Mission quartet perform? The composition of the team changed again in 2000. Andrei Medvedsky left him. This came as a complete surprise to both fans and the rest of the group. For a long time, X-Mission performed as a trio.
The beginning of the way
Since childhood, Andrey dreamed of creating a musical group that would be very different from everyone else. Andrey conceived the group as a quartet and soon began recruiting like-minded people into the future group. The name was coined "X Mission". “X” stands for “art”, “culture” and “sports”. From the very name of the group it is clear that the idea that Andrei was going to bring to life was youth, beauty, health and a high level of education and intelligence. His idea resonated with a huge number of young and handsome guys who lined up for the competition to get into Andrei’s group. Andrey wanted to see strong, handsome, athletic and educated young men in his group. Finally, after a long search, the vocalists were found - they were four handsome, young guys who were madly liked by the girls. So, who are they:
- Valentin Forstyany (Frolov) is a handsome man, has a good professional musical education and also graduated from a jazz dance school. Plays the guitar and composes music.
- Alexander Kulygin. A handsome blond man, as a child he studied at a music school and a dance school. He graduated from Igor Moiseev's school, performed in his ensemble, and then also received a legal education. He performed in the team from 1997 to 2010. In the group he performed under the last name Kulygin, but then he changed his last name to Belov.
- Artur Shibaev is a charming brunette, graduated from a choreographic school. Enjoys football and hockey
- Andrey Medvedsky, came to Moscow from Belarus, graduated from a choreographic school.
Way to success
On September 7, 1997, at a music festival in New York, the X-Mission group performed for the first time. The composition of the team was confirmed at that time. The audience received the quartet with a bang. The guys' compositions began to be broadcast on popular radio stations in the USA and Russia.
But popular love came to the guys a year later, when they were invited to A. Pugacheva’s “Christmas Meetings.” Since then, sweet-voiced singers began to be recognized by sight.
In the spring of 1998, a video for the song “I Ask You” was launched on one of the music channels. Russian girls went crazy for strong and handsome guys. Fans guarded the group's lead singers at the entrances and tried to break into their dressing room.
In the summer of 1999, the first X-Mission album went on sale. It received the romantic name “White Nights”. Fans sold out the entire circulation of discs in just a few days.
In the period from 2001 to 2010, the X-Mission group recorded several discs, starred in a dozen bright videos and toured our entire country.
Secret second marriage
The second wife of Andrei Sokolov was Evgenia Guseva. Their acquaintance was accidental. Evgenia flew from America and at the airport mixed up the car, getting into the actor’s car. Since the girl studied in the States, she was not closely familiar with Russian cinema and did not recognize Sokolov. This fact surprised the actor; he gave Evgenia a ride home and only at the end of the trip admitted who he really was. The young people exchanged phone numbers.

A relationship began between them, and a month later Andrei led his chosen one down the aisle. The lovers not only got married, but even got married. A few days after the wedding, the actor lost his passport. When he made a new document, it no longer contained the marriage mark.
Wedding of Andrey and Evgenia
Andrei Sokolov’s family lived calmly and quietly; the actor did not advertise his marriage. Evgenia did not pay attention to this; she liked to do housework and arrange the family nest. During the year of marriage, the actor only brought his wife out into the world a few times.
After a while, Andrei became jealous of Evgenia, and the girl gave a reason by starting to communicate with her former boyfriend. This fact outraged and insulted the actor. Jealousy took precedence over feelings and Sokolov filed for divorce.
After the divorce, the artist told his ex-wife to never mention their family life. He decided to erase this chapter from his biography. For a long time, Evgenia was silent; only many years later did it become known about Sokolov’s second wife. The actor himself insists that he had no relationship with Guseva.
Group "X-Mission": composition now
Every year, dozens of new musical groups conquer Russian show business. Competition in this area is very high. In such conditions, not all famous performers remain afloat. What about “X-Mission” (group)? The composition, photos and new compositions of the group - all this still interests their fans.
Initially, Andrei Sokolovsky conceived “X-Mission” as a quartet. But in recent years, the composition of the group has changed several times. And today it is a trio. Yesterday's handsome guys have turned into mature men. But they have not lost their best qualities, which include elegance and nobility.
Personal life of Andrei Sokolov
Despite his publicity, the actor preferred not to advertise his relationships with the fair sex. Even the most devoted fans did not know all the details of the idol’s personal life. Andrey never experienced a lack of female attention. Since he hid his chosen ones from journalists’ cameras, various rumors circulated around his love relationships.

When Sokolov was just beginning his ascent to Olympus of cinema, he preferred to date older women.
One of his passions was Marina Vladi, who was 30 years older than Andrei. The actors carefully hid their romance, but by chance the public learned about their relationship.
Andrei and Marina were spending time at the Leningrad Hotel when suddenly the building caught fire. A brave fireman saved the lovers from certain death.

The actors decided to thank the savior with a large sum of money. This is how the world learned about the relationship between young Sokolov and the venerable Vladi.
Andrey Sokolov and Patricia Kaas
The next romance in Andrei’s biography was with singer Patricia Kaas. Many thought that the lovers would get married, but the fans' hopes were not realized. They had too different views on life, and therefore the romance soon ended. Sokolov also tried to build love with Vera Sotnikova, but the feelings faded as quickly as they lit up.
Vlad Sokolovsky's wife - Rita Dakota
The singer began a serious relationship in 2014, after one of the parties. The future wife of Vlad Sokolovsky, Rita Dakota, was born on March 9, 1990.
The acquaintance happened at the right time, from the same “Star Factory 7”. But the singer showed his serious intentions after he introduced the girl to his parents. A year later, Vlad proposed to his beloved, which came as a surprise to the girl. The couple tied the knot on June 3, 2015, and five days later they held a grand celebration - a wedding.
Family and children of Vlad Sokolovsky
The artist grew up in a good and creative family, but his own family and children are also very important to him. Vlad Sokolovsky, since the days of “Star Factory”, the media constantly asked about his personal life and closely watched him, in fact, like the “army” of the guy’s fans.
In 2008, he finds the lady of his heart and begins to build a relationship with Daria Garnizova. For a whole year, Vlad managed to hide this relationship from the public. And after a three-year period, in one of the interviews, he casually mentioned that he was going to propose marriage to his beloved.
