Biography of Fedor Emelianenko
Fedor was born in 1976 in the city of Rubezhnoe, which is located in the Luhansk region of the Ukrainian SSR in the simple family of welder Vladimir Alexandrovich and teacher of vocational school Olga Fedorovna.
In addition to his parents, Fedor has an older sister Marina and younger brothers Alexander and Ivan. Alexander Emelianenko, following the example of his older brother, also competes in tournaments in mixed martial arts, combat sambo and judo. Multiple champion of Russia in these sports.
When Fedor was 2 years old, his family moved to Russia, to the city of Stary Oskol, which is an athlete and considers his hometown and in which he lived even as a champion. The Emelianenko family lived more than modestly - in a room in a communal apartment, converted from a clothes dryer into a habitable room.
From the age of 10 he began to go to the judo and sambo section. Not wanting to go home to the cramped little room, he often stayed overnight in the gym. He constantly took his younger brother Sasha with him to training, who still had no one to leave with. That is why later Alexander Emelianenko grew into a professional sambist and judoka, entered the Top 10 best heavyweights in Russia.
After school, Fedor received a specialty as an electrician at a vocational school in Stary Oskol. Then he entered the Belgorod State University at the Faculty of Physical Education and Sports. After graduating from the university, he remained there as a graduate student.
He did his military service first in the firefighters, then in the tank forces in the period 1995-97. In the army, he tried to continue training, constantly maintaining himself in good physical shape.
Over the years of service, Fedor's parents divorced, but relations with his father survived until his death in 2012.
Personal life of Fedor Emelianenko
The first and last wife of Fedor is Oksana. They met in a pioneer camp during their school years. Fedor was attending a sports training camp then, and Oksana was a counselor in the camp. Despite the fact that Oksana was several years older than Fedor, in 1999 the couple decided to get married. This happened immediately after Fedor served his military service.
Oksana helped her husband in every possible way in his sports career. At first, she even acted as his personal doctor, helping to recover from hard training and heal wounds after the competition. In the same 1999, the wife gave her husband the first daughter, who was named Maria. However, in 2006, the couple divorced, maintaining warm friendly relations for the sake of the children.
Emelianenko's second wife is Marina. Since childhood, Fedor had friendly relations with her, but in the early 2000s they grew into something more. It was Marina who became the reason for Fedor's first divorce, because she became his mistress from time to time and Oksana found out about this connection.
At the end of 2007, the second daughter Vasilisa was born to Fedor from Marina, and in 2009 they sealed the union with an official marriage. According to Marina, she had long been secretly in love with a purposeful young man and was happy to become his wife.
For the sake of his new wife, Fedor was already hoping to end his sports career, especially since sports successes had already ceased to satisfy the champion and more and more often he suffered defeats. But the new marriage was short-lived. In 2011, the spouses have a third daughter, Lisa, and already in 2013 they part ways. Fedor goes to his first wife Oksana, who was able to forgive him everything and agree to become a wife for the second time. This time they got married according to the Orthodox ceremony in the church. From Oksana Fedor got a fourth, and then a fifth daughter. The age difference between the eldest and the youngest daughters was 19 years.
Fedor returned to the ring and continued his sports career.
According to the famous athlete, family and religion are of the highest importance to him in his life. Money and a career are profitable. Moreover, a career is just a way of self-realization, a favorite thing. And money is just an opportunity to help relatives and friends, as well as those who are near him.
Daughters of Fedor Emelianenko
The first daughter Masha was born in a marriage with Oksana in 1999. She survived the divorce of her parents in the first grade, but the fact that Fedor and Oksana maintained friendly relations somewhat smoothed out the nervous shock.
At the age of 16, a scandal erupted in the press: Emelianenko's daughter Masha was beaten by unknown persons. The damage to her health was not serious: a few days later Masha was already discharged from the hospital, but the perpetrators have still not been found. Rumor has it that this incident has something to do with the career of Fedor himself.
Currently Masha leads an active lifestyle, she is sociable and loves to be creative. She has many friends and her own personal Instagram page.
The second daughter Vasilisa was born in 2007 and is eight years younger than Masha. A girl was born from Marina, the second wife of the champion, but at the time of her birth they were not yet married. So she is essentially an illegitimate child. To her father's credit, he did not shirk and immediately recognized his daughter as his own.
Vasilisa is growing up as an active girl who adores sports and creativity. Her favorite pastime is to follow my dad's performances in the ring and sign autographs to fans. As the eldest daughter of her mother, Marina helps her with the upbringing of her younger sister and regularly communicates with her father.
The third daughter is Lisa three years younger than Vasilisa (born in 2011). She became the second daughter to appear in the marriage of Fedor and Marina. She is very active by nature, loves sports. At one time, she attended an elite kindergarten and child development studios.
Almost nothing is known about the athlete's fourth and fifth daughters. Even the names are not disclosed in the press. Only the years of their birth are known - 2017 and 2019.
