Irina Lobacheva: biography, personal life, wife of Ilya Averbukh, children, how old

Biography of Irina Lobacheva

Lobacheva was born into a simple family of an electrician and a gynecologist. None of Irina’s relatives had anything to do with sports or dancing, so those close to the girl did not imagine how her professional career would develop in the future.

Despite the absence of artists in the family, Lobacheva’s mother and grandmother were frequent viewers of figure skating programs.

As a child, doctors gave Irina a recommendation that she should include sports activities in her lifestyle. This information pleased the girl’s parents, who, without hesitation, sent the future star to the figure skating section.

Lobacheva’s first coach was Natalya Dubinskaya, who taught the girl the basic concepts of professional sports.

Throughout her childhood and adolescence, Lobacheva performed in solo numbers, which caused her health to deteriorate. Problems with the knee led to the decision for Irina to switch to a less traumatic activity - ice dancing.

Irina Lobacheva's age

Irina has been delighting viewers with her breathtaking performances on ice for a long time, which is why many of them have questions about the exact age of the star. Lobacheva rarely mentions her age, but she does not hesitate to raise this topic. It is known that the figure skater was born on February 18, 1973. These data make it possible to easily calculate the exact age of a woman. In 2021, the celebrity celebrated her 48th birthday.

Height and weight of Irina Lobacheva

In figure skating, the coach's initial attention falls on the physiological data of the athlete. An important criterion in the selection of future stars is body parameters.

Lobacheva attended her first international competitions at the age of 12

Irina has a physique suitable for figure skating. Her height is 165 cm, and her weight is within 52 kg. Thanks to these parameters, a woman can easily perform the necessary techniques and dance in pairs.

Family and children of Irina Lobacheva

Lobacheva’s personal life is one of the most interesting points in the star’s biography for fans. The woman was married twice, both times her colleagues became her life partners.

Irina Lobacheva and Ilya Averbukh

The love story of two skaters seems to fans to be one of the most romantic unions in domestic sports. Irina and Ilya spent time on the ice together starting at the age of seven, but feelings began between them only at the start of their pairing collaboration. Already married, Averbukh stated that he was in love with Lobacheva from the first day they met at the skating rink.

Despite Averbukh’s statements, Irina believes that before the start of pair dances, she and Ilya had only friendly relations

A year after the lovers started living together, they decided to officially register their relationship. The couple of Irina and Ilya was an object of admiration for many viewers; fans predicted a strong union for the spouses.

In 2004, Lobacheva gave birth to a son from Averbukh, who was named Martin. The birth of the child was joyfully received by the public.

A surprise that shocked fans of the star couple was the news of Irina and Ilya’s divorce. Later it turned out that this was not the first time that a marriage was on the verge of destruction, but each time the skater managed to improve the relationship and hide conflicts from outsiders.

Irina and Ilya lived in a happy marriage for about 16 years, which aroused admiration among the public

The final chord in the story of Averbukh and Lobacheva was the woman’s miscarriage. At the moment when the skater was in the hospital and was in serious condition, Ilya did not come and did not provide support to his wife.

Irina Lobacheva and Dmitry Maryanov

Having survived a divorce, Irina began to build her story from scratch. At that time, the public learned about Lobacheva’s affair with actor Dmitry Maryanov. The couple met at one of the shows. The affair led to four years of marriage. According to Irina, she and Dmitry planned to have children, but the lovers never managed to have them.

The couple's relationship collapsed after the figure skater found out about her boyfriend's affair. The woman did not forgive Dmitry for such a betrayal and broke ties with him.

It is known that Maryanov cheated on Lobacheva with Ksenia Bik, who gave birth to the man’s daughter

Relations with Alexander Shumakov

The affair with Alexander Shumakov is considered one of the most tragic in the fate of the figure skater. Little was known about the woman’s chosen one. Evil tongues said that the athlete’s lover suffered from gambling addiction, lived at her expense and did nothing.

On December 18, Alexander unexpectedly committed suicide. The man jumped out of the bedroom window, in the bed of which the artist herself was resting at the time of the tragedy. The woman’s lover acted quietly, so Irina found out about what had happened only after waking up from the cold.

The reason that pushed the man to take a desperate step remained a mystery to all his loved ones.

New husband of Irina Lobacheva

The figure skater experienced grief for a long time before the “white streak” came again in her life. Irina met Ivan Tretyakov, who became her second official husband. The guy was Lobacheva’s colleague, but it was not the office romance that confused the public.

In the “Secret to a Million” program, a woman admitted that Tretyakov turned out to be an imperfect husband

The audience was surprised by the age difference between the lovers. Lobacheva's chosen one is 16 years younger than the figure skater and looked very young compared to her. However, the couple was not interested in the opinions of others, and they continued to maintain a strong connection.

In the end, the marriage was dissolved due to the fact that Ivan often allowed himself to raise his hand against his wife.

Son Martin

Martin is Lobacheva’s first and only child. The boy's parents divorced when he was three years old. Initially, Irina and Ilya decided that it would be better for their son to stay with his mother. However, when adolescence began to make itself felt, the parents came to the opposite conclusion. Martin moved to live with his father and did not regret the decision, because his mother periodically had problems with alcohol.

Martin moved to his father at the age of 13, since then he rarely sees his mother

The son of famous figure skaters studies at a regular metropolitan school and makes progress in studying geography, biology, and chemistry. In addition to studying, the guy also devotes time to sports: figure skating, football, running and tennis.

The cause of Irina Lobacheva’s alcoholism has been named

Movchan claims that athletes are definitely at risk for alcohol and drug addiction. There are many examples in sports: Mike Tyson, Fernando Ricksen, Alexander Bugaev. Let us remember the scandal with Kokorin and Mamaev. There was no alcohol there. The specialist believes that several factors underlie athletes’ addictions:

“He beat me”: Irina Lobacheva is divorcing her young husband

A sporty character, characterized by maximalism, excessive demands on oneself and one’s own achievements, and perfectionism.
Long-term physical and psycho-emotional restrictions: strict diets, a ban on expressing emotions, strict requirements of sports coaches.
The emotions that athletes experience when they are on the podium. At this moment, the release of serotonin and endorphins goes off scale. And we can’t even imagine what emotions these are. Any champion will say that there is nothing cooler than this.

“Athletes have a hard time leaving sports and often try to repeat these feelings with the help of various types of doping,” Movchan explains the reason why athletes automatically find themselves at risk.

Figure skater Irina Lobacheva is an example of a bright rise and a painful fall. Together with her husband Ilya Averbukh, she took silver at the Olympic Games in Salt Lake City, and then became the world and European champion. Soon there was discord in the family. The couple divorced, Irina began to have problems with alcohol. The ex-husband and partner was even forced to take their common son, Martin, to raise him. Today Irina lives on alimony, which Averbukh regularly pays her, and at the same time works as a coach, and training with a silver medalist costs only 3,000 rubles.

In an interview with the host of the “Secret to a Million” program, Irina admitted that her current husband, Ivan Tretyakov, more than once raised his hand against her and even locked her in the apartment for several days. True, the figure skater admitted that “it was also not a gift,” and Tretyakov himself argued that imprisonment was an extreme measure - supposedly his wife “caught delirium tremens.” The couple recently filed for divorce.

“Forcible isolation of a person with alcoholism is a criminal practice,” says Dmitry Movchan. “It is used in the USA and in clinics in Thailand, but you should understand that an alcoholic needs good medicine and psychotherapy, he needs to create motivation - why he should stop drinking and start living.”

Unfortunately, Irina Lobacheva was left alone with her misfortune and cannot immediately find the answer to the question of what she should live for. She has no one except her mother and brother. The men the skater had after her divorce from Averbukh died under strange circumstances: suicide, drug overdose, heart failure. Partner in the show “Dancing on Ice” and Irina’s last love, Dmitry Maryanov, died during treatment in a drug treatment clinic near Moscow in 2017.

“It is logical that a woman who is a drug user attracts into her life not partners, but co-users, people, again, from the risk group. Therefore, I don’t see anything unusual in the circumstances of these deaths,” the narcologist comments on the vicissitudes of Irina’s personal life. However, the champion claims that she is done with alcohol and has a goal - to give birth to a child. Not all viewers of the program took Lobacheva at her word. Some even suspected that she came to the broadcast drunk.

“I specifically watched the broadcast. There is a possibility (this is not a diagnosis, but just an assumption!) that Irina is in prolonged depression, and the reasons for alcohol abuse lie precisely in her mental state. Here you need to start with psychological help, you should work first of all with your mental state, and then with addiction,” said Movchan.

The doctor also noted that curing female alcoholism is much more difficult than male alcoholism, and while a man can become an alcoholic for the rest of his life, 3-5 years is enough for a woman. The reasons lie in the characteristics of the female psyche, hormonal system and social pressure. “A woman will hush up the problem until the last moment, fearing condemnation from society, juvenile service, and reproaches from loved ones. And when she starts timidly talking about the problem, it’s already too late,” he warned.

Dmitry Movchan supports Irina in her firm intention to lead a sober lifestyle, but worries that she might break down: “a very large burden of problems has fallen on her: failures in her personal life, no family support, but only condemnation from society. I read the comments on the broadcast - it’s just a nightmare, how much anger there is in people... The death of a beloved man - only a very strong person can withstand all this.” The narcologist hopes that Irina Lobacheva will really cope, because she has already set foot on this path. And he claims that if the skater needs support, the clinic’s specialists are ready to provide it completely free of charge.

Lobacheva had suspicions that her husband might be cheating on her. One day she saw an SMS on her husband’s phone that contained words that only a woman could write. When asked who this message was from, Averbukh told his wife: “Don’t get into my phone.” Irina still had a bad feeling in her soul.

Irina took her little son to one of the show’s training rehearsals. One of the show participants, an actress, also came. This woman approached 2-year-old Martin, showed the baby in a carrier and introduced the boy: “This is your brother.”

Martin then asked Irina about her little brother. And she understood everything. Lobacheva asked her husband about her relationship with this actress and her child. He didn't answer. No matter how painful it was for Lobacheva, she filed for divorce from Averbukh. The divorce was amicable. The host of the show “Secret for a Million” Lera Kudryavtseva persuaded Irina Lobacheva to name the actress - the homewrecker. Irina categorically refused. According to her, after some time she saw photographs of this boy, the actress’s son. He says he looks a lot like Martin.
