Papunaishvili family
Evgeny was born on December 11, 1981 in Moscow into a traditional Soviet family of engineers. Evgeny has siblings. From the age of five, the boy developed in two directions at once: football and dancing. And if the passion for football at school did not have to be hidden, since the game always aroused respect among boys, then dancing was not considered a prestigious business among peers until the 14-year-old Papunaishvili began teaching gymnastics for money. From that moment on, both Eugene himself and his hobby were respected. As time went on, Eugene began to win at championships of various levels, began to win prizes and bring awards. Over time, Zhenya turned out to be one of the most eligible suitors in the capital.
Secrets of personal life
Naturally, journalists attributed numerous novels to the charming young man, rumors about his hobbies periodically appeared on the pages of the press, despite the fact that the dancer himself always behaved very restrainedly and never allowed too much in public. Natalya Koroleva became Zhenya's first partner in the show "Dancing with the Stars" - their couple eventually won a prize. Subsequently, Papunaishvili for many years becomes a permanent participant in this project, performing with such "stars" as Ionova and many others. For some time, Eugene met with Ksenia Sobchak, which both do not hide. Zhenya met a socialite on the same project. But over time, young people realized that they were not suitable for each other and parted, going to build each of their relationships. By the way, Papunaishvili recalls this period of his life with pleasure, adding that he did not have tragic partings. The dancer was credited with relations with other partners, in particular with Alena Vodonaeva, which, however, did not find official confirmation.
Then for a long time Yevgeny did not start a serious relationship with anyone before the hot Italian Salima Bezhaber arrived in Russia. This sultry beauty is a well-known stylist, make-up artist in her homeland, she comes from the small Italian city of Como. She was in Moscow for the first time, at work, and suddenly, unexpectedly for herself, she met her chosen one in the person of Yevgeny Papunaishvili. The fateful meeting took place in the salon of Aldo Coppola, where the choreographer hardly made an appointment, so many people wanted to get to a meeting with a stylish Italian. This couple had such violent passions that the Italian even had to renew the contract in order to stay at work in Russia with her beloved.
The couple legalized their relationship in 2017, having met for about a year, at the end of the same year their daughter Sophia was born. Eugene very touchingly made an offer in the middle of a football field, kneeling down, so that the joy of the young people could be shared by the thousands of people in the stadium. Papunaishvili expressed his declaration of love and a request to marry not only in Russian, but also in Italian.
After the birth of the child (the event took place on Yevgeny's birthday), Salima did not stay at home for a long time, and soon went to work in the Moscow salon - the Italian representative office. According to Salima Bezhaber, Eugene has the qualities that make him related to Italians: first of all, they are kindness and honesty, openness and decency. In addition, the Russian choreographer respects pasta very much, which cannot but seduce a true Italian.

However, the young people came to the Moscow registry office together, without first notifying any of their relatives and friends. After registering the marriage, the newlyweds immediately went to the dacha to their parents, where they were delighted and notified of a significant event that had occurred in their lives.
