Many members of the Comedy Club and Comedy Woman choose partners who do not seek fame and work in areas far from the stage and spotlights. Ekaterina Skulkina is no exception. Her husband Denis Vasiliev fully supports his wife and puts up with her frequent tours, but he himself prefers to remain in the shadows.
Ekaterina Skulkina: the way to the stage

The girl grew up active, pretty and artistic, she loved to dance and sing, she did not hesitate to perform in front of the public. One of the brightest childhood experiences was going to the theater. However, Katya did not dream of a stage as a child - she wanted to become a nurse.
The girl received a good education. After leaving school, she entered a medical college without any problems, received the desired profession and worked for 2 years in one of the Yoshkar-Ola hospitals. Then she decided to get a higher education and entered the Kazan Medical University at the Faculty of Dentistry.
But here the fate of Catherine took an unexpected turn. The girl got into the student KVN team and immediately became a local star. This was facilitated by a bright appearance, undoubted talent, efficiency and charisma. Since 2003, the girl has participated in various shows, performing in the teams "Four Tatars" and "Team of the XX century".

She is a permanent resident of "Comedy Club", appeared on the screen in the projects "I Can", "Culinary Duel", "Comedian for a Million", "Saltykov-Shchedrin Show", "Crocodile".
Denis Vasiliev: who is he
Catherine met her future husband while still a student. Denis Vasiliev is 2 years younger than the actress, he attracted Catherine's attention with his artistry, calm character, cheerfulness. Denis himself was simply fascinated by the charismatic and bright Katya.
Young people met for several months, and then realized that they wanted to live together all their lives. The wedding was modest, with only parents and closest friends present. After graduating from university, Denis took up a career, today he works as a medical representative of a large pharmaceutical company. He believes that there is no place for two creative personalities in one family and does not feel any jealousy of his wife's stage success. By the way, Catherine herself does not give any reason for concern: she does not give any chance to fans, she is reputed to be an exemplary wife and mother. Well, she herself believes that the real ideal of a spouse is Denis.
Family life
Many student marriages end within a few years. Spouses grow up, their views change. And then one day it turns out that next to him is a completely stranger, with whom he has nothing in common. Fortunately, the marriage of Ekaterina Skulkina was not included in this category. The couple lived quite happily in the difficult nineties. Their relationship is quite harmonious now. Ekaterina appreciates Denis for his reliability, thoroughness and dedication. He invariably admires her cheerfulness, strength of character and constancy.
In 2008, the family grew: the long-awaited son Oleg was born. The only thing that Catherine lacked was free time. It was not easy to participate in the performances and take care of the baby, but the artist was very supported by the family. The main care of the child fell on the shoulders of his grandmother, mother Catherine, and Denis was responsible for the financial support of the family. Vasiliev does not like publicity and rarely appears at parties and other events, so there are not many of his photos on the Web.
Today Ekaterina lives in 2 cities, constantly driving between Kazan, where her husband and son live with their grandmother, and Moscow. In the capital, she has to work hard, but at home you can relax and unwind with those closest to you. Of course, the artist misses her son, but understands that the boy needs constant contact with his father. Well, Denis himself devotes all his free time to Oleg.
Some time ago, rumors began to appear in the tabloids about the imminent separation of the couple. However, Catherine refutes all speculation on this score, emphasizing that their family is very friendly and neither she nor her husband even have thoughts of divorce.
