Evgeny Papunaishvili is a popular Russian dancer, owner of a network of dance schools. For a long time he was considered an inveterate bachelor, but Eugene found his love in the person of the Italian stylist Salima.
Evgeny Papunaishvili and his path to success
Evgeny Papunaishvili was born in 1981 in Moscow. His parents worked as engineers. At the age of 4, they gave their youngest son to dance and play football. Evgeny grew up as a very active boy and mom and dad wanted to direct his irrepressible energy somewhere. During his school years, Papunaishvili was ashamed of his hobby for dancing, believing that this was not entirely a man's occupation. But when, at the age of 12, he was invited to teach dance lessons and this began to bring him a good income, his opinion changed.
Over time, hobby became his main job. Eugene realized that this sport requires incredible effort and patience. At 22, he opened his "Evgeny Papunaishvili School of Dance". The dancer and choreographer became widely known after the release of the "Dancing with the Stars" project. He also took part in the filming of several other shows.
Evgeny Papunaishvili is an international class dancer. In 2002, he became the winner of the Finnish Open Championship in Latin American dances, and in 2004, the Moscow champion in Latin American dances. He became a semifinalist of the Russian championship, a finalist of Russian and international tournaments
Personal life and meeting your future wife
Evgeny Papunaishvili has always enjoyed a reputation as a heartthrob and womanizer. He was credited with having affairs with many famous women. With all the partners on the show "Dancing with the Stars" he had a warm and trusting relationship. With Ksenia Sobchak, he was connected by a short romance.
In 2017, Evgeny Papunaishvili met the girl of his dreams. She turned out to be the Italian stylist Salima Bijaber, who was born and raised in the city of Como. She came to Moscow at the invitation of the management of the salon "Aldo Coppola". The famous dancer met Salima in the salon. Eugene hardly made an appointment with the famous stylist and already at the first meeting he realized that he would like to continue communication with this girl.
Papunaishvili made the proposal very nicely. This happened during a football match. Thousands of people watched the incredibly touching moment when Eugene knelt in front of his beloved and uttered the cherished words. The acquaintance with Salima's mother was very warm. She accepted Zhenya as her own. Salima admitted that initially she did not even consider the possibility of staying in Russia. She was planning a business trip for just a year. But meeting with Papunaishvili turned her life upside down.
Happy family life
The wedding with Salima took place in July 2017. She was very humble. Eugene said in an interview that they drove up to the registry office together with his brothers and the mother of the bride. The newlyweds simply signed, and then went to the groom's parents. Together with relatives and friends, they went to a small picnic.
Despite the fact that the wedding was very modest, everyone liked the event. The newlyweds were truly happy, because one of the most important days in their life passed without much fuss. At the same time, Eugene said that over time he and his wife are thinking about a magnificent wedding. Most likely, several events will be planned at once, because I really want to hold a celebration both in Moscow and in Italy, in Georgia, where the famous choreographer has a lot of relatives.
In December 2017, the daughter of Sofia is in the famous family. Yevgeny recalls the birth of his daughter with fondness. It is surprising that they now have one day with their daughter for a holiday for two - December 11th. On that day, Salima was preparing for the holiday. She decorated the apartment, ordered an unusual cake in honor of her beloved husband, but the celebration had to be canceled. Instead of meeting friends, I had to go to the maternity hospital.
Eugene and Salima admit that they are unusually happy in marriage. An Italian wife appreciates his kindness, humanity and openness in a popular dancer. They have a lot in common with Eugene. He loves Italian cuisine and often asks his spouse to cook pasta for him. Salima has excellent relations with the Papunaishvili family. The dancer's mother, after meeting this girl, advised her son to settle down and marry an Italian. Over time, it became clear that my mother was not mistaken and the choice was made correctly.
Eugene and his wife are absolutely happy as parents. Salima devotes all her free time to her daughter, and in the future she plans to return to work in a beauty salon. Papunaishvili's Italian wife does not exclude the possibility of opening her own beauty studio. Evgeniy is engaged in several projects at once and runs a network of dance schools. The choreographer admits that he had to refuse several lucrative offers because he cannot spend all his time at work. He wants to see his beloved wife and little daughter more often, to give them tenderness and care.
