Alexander Gradsky is a Soviet and Russian singer, songwriter, actor and composer. Born on November 3, 1949 in the Chelyabinsk region in the city of Kopeisk. During his life he changed three wives. Now he lives in a civil marriage with a fourth. All his wives are beautiful women.
Natalia Smirnova
The first wife of Gradsky, Natalya Smirnova, married him back in 1973, as a student. Alexander was then a member of the Skomorokhi group. Gradsky himself calls this marriage "a youth act." At that time, young people were in love with each other, but at some point the feelings began to cool down and Alexander offered to refresh them by registering an official marriage.
The wedding took place, but soon the feelings completely faded away. The newlyweds parted as friends just three months after the wedding.
Anastasia Vertinskaya
Three years after his first marriage, in 1976, Gradsky remarried. This time, the talented actress Anastasia Vertinskaya became his chosen one. They met with friends at a party. Alexander immediately began to actively look after the bright woman, but she did not pay attention to him.
Six months after the first meeting, Gradsky gave a concert near Alushta. Anastasia at this time was resting with relatives and friends in a neighboring village. As soon as I found out that her longtime admirer was giving a concert nearby, I immediately went to him.
When Vertinskaya arrived, the concert ended long ago. Alexander had already managed to get enough and was sitting on the seashore, thinking whether he should swim or not. The girl appeared before him in an old dressing gown and cracked glasses, so Gradsky did not immediately recognize her. From that moment on, the musician and the actress began a relationship.
It so happened that they returned from Crimea separately from each other: Gradsky by car, Vertinskaya by plane. On the way home, Alexander's car had an accident. Nastya, as soon as she found out about this, found him and took him to her place. Since then, they began to live together, formalized a marriage, but the marriage did not last long. After a couple of years, they became strangers to each other, and in 1980 they filed for divorce. By that time, the singer already had a new passion.
Gradskaya Olga Semyonovna (Fartysheva)
Like her first wife, she married Alexander while a student at the Faculty of Economics at Moscow State University. They met at the Shchukin School at a play, after which Gradsky's friends, together with a new acquaintance, went to his party. Alexander and Olya began to communicate, they had a relationship and in 1980 they signed.
By the time of the marriage, Olga was expecting a child from Alexander and, despite the terrible living conditions, kept him for her future husband. And the conditions were really inappropriate for living together: Gradsky then lived in an inferior apartment, Olga - in a hostel.
But, despite the difficulties of the first years, the couple lived together for 23 years and divorced only in 2001 at the initiative of Olga, who fell in love with another man and chose to link her fate with him.
During the marriage, Olga gave birth to Alexander's son Daniel Gradsky (1981) and daughter Maria Gradskaya (1986). The son is currently a musician and entrepreneur, lives in Moscow. The daughter is an ARM manager and TV presenter in Miami.
Marina Kotashenko
Less than three years after the divorce, Alexander found himself a new spouse - Marina Kotashenko. The acquaintance was trivial: the musician, driving down the street, saw a beautiful woman through the car window and invited her for a ride. And although at that moment he was driving from the construction site in work clothes, the girl agreed to take his phone from him. And then I called him back a couple of weeks later.
At the time of their acquaintance, Marina had absolutely no idea who Gradsky was. It is not surprising, because almost all of her life was spent in Ukraine.
Marina was born in Kiev in 1984 and the age difference with Alexander was 31 years. At school, the girl attended a model school, but she graduated from the institute with a law degree. Then she decided to move to Moscow to try her luck in the modeling business.
After a year of meeting Gradsky, Marina moved to live with him, and in 2009 she entered VGIK. After graduating from the institute, she was taken to the workshop of Vsevolod Shilovsky, where she began to play on the stage of the theater. Since 2010, she has been invited to film roles.
Simultaneously with her acting career, Marina also built a career as a model. From 2010 to 2014, she was the most popular model in Moscow - a blue-eyed blonde with an ideal figure (87-60-90) and a height of 176 cm was angelically beautiful. In 2014, she took a break due to pregnancy: Marina gave birth to a son, Alexander, to Gradsky, and in 2018, another son, Ivan. The birth took place in one of the best clinics in New York under the supervision of first-class doctors.
Despite the 14-year-old family happiness, Alexander and Marina are in no hurry to register their relationship, preferring to live in an unofficial marriage. Marina maintains friendly relations with children from her third marriage, despite the fact that she is their age.
The married couple lives in the Moscow region, in the village of Novoglagolevo. Alexander earns vocal lessons and writes music. Leads the show "Voice", manages his own theater "Gradsky-Hall". Wife - brings up children, runs the household. A nanny and numerous staff help her in this. They rarely and reluctantly communicate with journalists, trying not to talk too much about the family and each other.
In one of her few interviews in 2017, Marina spoke of her eldest son as an unusually talented child. Already at the age of three, the kid learned to play a specially purchased children's guitar and has an absolute ear for music. The spouses want to further develop their son's abilities and even plan to send him to Alla Pugacheva's school.
