Sergei Penkin - "guard" of the Russian stage, "Mister Extravagance", singer, actor, composer, poet. There are many rumors around his name, for example, that he prefers men to women, despite the fact that Sergei was married twice. So who are these women, and where can you see the photo of Sergei Penkin's wife?
Sergei Penkin is one of the few Russian singers who was included in the Guinness Book of Records. His uniqueness is his voice. But the press is much more willing to discuss the other side of his life - personal. Periodically in print and online publications there are "evidence" that Penkin prefers men to women. These are speculations that do not have reliable evidence. Sergey Penkin is a real man, extravagant only in the choice of clothes.
Who is Sergey Penkin - biography and career
Sergei Penkin was born and raised in Penza, in a large and religious family, in February 1961. The Penkin children regularly attended church, and it was there that little Seryozha sang for the first time. The boy dreamed of becoming a minister of the temple. Both his parents and the priest of the parish they attended paid attention to his unique vocal abilities. He insisted that Sergei go to a music school, and then continue his studies at a specialized school.
In 1986, Sergei Penkin entered the legendary Gnesinka, met the leading singers and musicians of the capital, and after 5 years he released his first solo album of songs.
With the album Holiday, Sergey Penkin's creative career began. The audience remembered not only the unique voice of this vocalist, but also his extravagant outfits, bright, almost feminine make-up. They were "author's" - Sergei came up with stage costumes and images himself. Maybe this is what provoked a wave of rumors about his unconventional orientation, which is periodically raised by journalists now.
The first wife of Sergei Penkin - Protsenko Elena
Sergei met his first wife on his debut foreign tour in England. It was Elena Protsenko, a London-based journalist with Russian roots. The girl was 12 years younger than Penkin, but could not resist his charm.
For several years, young people met, and the meetings were very rare - life in two countries did not suit either Sergei or Elena. The couple decided that a stamp in their passport would bring them closer together and signed in 2000. Unfortunately, even this, fateful for others, step did not bring them closer.
2 years after the wedding, Sergey and Elena filed for divorce. The press immediately "grabbed" this fact, in the newspapers there were speculations that the reason for the breakdown in relations was Penkin's ties with men.
The second wife of Sergei Penkin is Vladlena from Odessa
Penkin spent many years alone. He refused to discuss the vicissitudes of his personal life with journalists, provoking new waves of dirty articles about him in the press.
In 2015, he unexpectedly brought out his new beloved. She was the Odessa TV presenter Vladlena Ponomarenko.
For a couple of years Penkin and Ponomarenko enjoyed happiness, traveled abroad, Sergei established relations with Vladlena's daughters from their first marriage. Everything seemed to be heading for the wedding. The woman received a beautiful marriage proposal in Paris, but the agreement was followed by a break in relations. According to the singer himself, it was a real blow for him. He was preparing for the wedding, planned to transport his beloved with children to his country house, prepared rooms for Vladlena's daughters.
Sergey refused to talk about the reasons for the discord in relations with Vladlena, and she also avoided journalists' questions on this topic. Of course, they were quick to draw their own conclusions.
Penkin never paid attention to dirty rumors about him, did not make scandals and did not sue the hack. But the separation from Vladlena literally knocked him down. The singer went to the hospital, lost almost 30 kg.
His many friends helped him to return to his previous way of life, to go on stage again.
With whom and where does Sergey Penkin live now
After breaking off relations with Vladlena Ponomarenko, Sergei Penkin devoted himself to creativity. Almost immediately after recovering his health, he released a new solo album, held a concert in one of the leading metropolitan concert halls in honor of his anniversary.
Sergei still refuses to talk about his personal life with journalists, but he gladly talks about his country house, more precisely, a mansion located a couple of kilometers from the Moscow Ring Road.
The country house was not easy for Sergei. In parallel with its construction, he was engaged in the restoration of one of the churches in his hometown of Penza, which also required serious financial investments, almost the same as in the construction of his own house.
Sergei Penkin's house is no less extravagant than his outfits. It was designed according to Sergey's sketches, the interior design is entirely his author's project.
The singer rarely visits a country mansion. Concert and touring activities require his permanent stay in the city. He often spends his free time in a Moscow apartment, and his assistants take care of the house, who, unlike the owner, constantly live in it.
