Vyacheslav Tikhonov was twice married. The first wife was Nonna Mordyukova. They lived with her for 13 years. At the age of 40, Vyacheslav fell in love with a translator. With Tamara Tikhonova, they lived in marriage until the death of the actor.
Vyacheslav Tikhonov did not advertise his personal life. He attended little social events, tried not to contact with strangers, and at the end of his life gave preference to a hermitic lifestyle. The future actor met his first love at school. In the 10th grade, he invited Julia Rossiyskaya to a slow dance, over time they began a romantic relationship. Vyacheslav Tikhonov did not have time to tie himself to her by marriage, since he left to study in Moscow. After that, information will appear in the media that he returned to his first love after marriage.

On the set of the film "Young Guard" the young man meets Nonna Mordyukova. At that time, Vyacheslav was 19 years old, and his chosen one was 22 years old. At first, he did not pay attention to the girl in any way, so she had to make an effort to turn his head. The wedding was organized pretty quickly. At first they lived in a hostel, then moved to a small room.
It was believed that the marriage was not made for love. A close friend of the actor I. Yoshka said that Nonna had an affair with S. Gerasimov. He filmed "The Young Guard", was the leader of its course. He asked Tikhonov to marry the girl in order to divert suspicion from himself, since he was married at that time. Vyacheslav did not dare to refuse his teacher.
Disorder in married life occurred when Tikhonov, returning home, found his wife with another man. Mordyukova did not feel guilty, did not explain herself. Tikhonov was sure that the man was Nonna's lover. So he just left. For more than fifty years, the former spouses did not communicate with themselves. Even at the funeral of their son, they did not say a single word to each other. The couple has been married for 13 years.
Nonna Mordyukova said that the stormy relationship burned out very quickly. Such a husband was "actively, tragically unnecessary for her." However, by this time a son had appeared in the family, and it was not accepted to divorce. That is why for so many years they have been trying to create the look of a family. Another circumstance was the words of the girl's mother. She talked about not destroying the family, because there is a great chance of being alone for life.
Second marriage
Vyacheslav Tikhonov was 40 years old when he was invited to work on the voice acting of French cinema. A young French teacher worked as a translator. The actor charmed the girl so much that she left her family for him. The wedding took place in 1968. Tamara Ivanovna and Vyacheslav worked together on the film "Man and Woman". According to colleagues and friends, Tamara was the complete opposite of her first wife. She was silent, quiet.
The couple had a daughter, Anechka, who was later educated, became an actress and producer. However, almost immediately after the wedding, it turned out that the woman was very jealous. She tried to take control of almost every step of her husband. Tikhonov will live with this woman for 42 years, until his death.
Anna Vyacheslavovna will later note that the parents were able to carry on warm and good relations to the very end. They always had common topics of conversation. Despite the opinion about Tamara's toughness, the daughter says that a good atmosphere has always reigned in the house.
According to journalists, Vyacheslav Tikhonov was too gentle a person. He needed to report to his wife about every love scene. Due to the strained relationship, after several joint works, the actor stopped taking part in the filming. He could not stand the constant hysterics, packed his suitcases and moved to live in a country house.
Tamara could not come to terms with this, so they lived until the very end in the same house, but dividing it in half. Vyacheslav Tikhanov eventually stopped wearing the ring, and Tamara Ivanovna did not forget to mention that her husband ruined her life.

In an interview, Tamara Ivanovna said that Tikhonov drew attention to the girl due to the fact that she was different from the rest of the environment. She was smart, educated and humble. Vyacheslav came up with an excuse for meetings. He asked for help in translating letters coming to him from France. Soon Tamara realized that this was just an excuse to get to know her better.
Tikhonov's wedding with the translator was magnificent. Famous people were invited to it. The girl was wearing a short dress, without a veil.

The first wife said that living with Tikhonov was very boring. However, Tamara Ivanovna says that she simply could not understand his subtle soul. She said that Vyacheslav ran away from her, did not remember all 50 years. When Nonna died, Tikhonov did not comment on this. Their only communication was before the death of the actress, when she called him, asked for forgiveness for everything.
