Natalia Chistyakova-Ionova, better known as the singer Glucose, appeared on the Russian stage in 2003. In front of the fans, she grew up, changed, turning from a young, naughty girl into a bright, beautiful woman. A career in show business gave Natalia not only popularity and love of the audience, but also personal happiness. With her beloved husband, Alexander Chistyakov, the singer has been together for more than 10 years, raising three children. She is proud to have built a strong family by finding a way to combine marriage, motherhood and creativity.
Acquaintance with the future husband
Natalya Ionova became famous very young, already at 16 she signed a contract to work in the project "Glucose" producer Maxim Fadeev. The girl grew up early in terms of relationships with men. From the age of 17, she lived with a boyfriend who became her first love. As often happens, the relationship did not stand the test of time and popularity that befell the young singer.
Having found freedom, Ionova bathed in male attention, but she did not make plans for a serious relationship or creating a family, due to her age. Much more important to her was a successful musical career and the material independence that she gave. After all, the future star grew up in an ordinary family with an average income, and in the difficult 90s Natasha and her parents ate, at times, only pasta. Therefore, she plunged headlong into touring life, performances, concerts.
Once the singer was invited to perform at the opening of a water park in the Chechen Republic. The artists flew on a charter flight along with several high-profile guests of the event. Among them was the future husband of Ionova - businessman Alexander Chistyakov. The girl caught his attention when she went to sleep on the comfortable couch on the plane. As it turned out, he also wanted to rest during the flight, but was forced to give in to the more agile Natalya.
TV presenter Ksenia Sobchak played the role of matchmaker, who also happened to be with them on the trip. She invited the singer to go on a tour of Grozny with one company, and during the return flight, she tactfully left Natalia and Alexander alone, going to rest on the same sofa. As a result, at the end of the trip, the businessman wanted to continue his acquaintance with the young star.
The first date took place at a Japanese restaurant. Chistyakov immediately admitted to the girl that he was married and that he was raising a son from his first marriage. Natalia liked the new boyfriend, she was not embarrassed by the solid age difference - 13 years. She decided to give this relationship a chance. True, the next day Ionova and her friends flew to Cuba, but Alexander persuaded her to return early and spend three days in Paris on the way back. They never parted since that romantic trip. The businessman offered Natalya to live together, and in two weeks she brought all her things to him.
Wedding, children, family
After a short time, Ionova was the first to talk about marriage. She, in a comic manner, suggested that Alexander take her to the registry office, since he could not find a better wife. The man listened to the words of his beloved and soon presented her with a ring in honor of the engagement. By the way, Natalya quickly found a common language with the son of her chosen one. Alexander Jr. turned out to be a fan of the singer Glucose, so she managed to become an older friend for the child.
The wedding of the young singer and businessman took place on June 16, 2006. First, the lovers signed in the Kutuzovsky registry office in Moscow in the presence of witnesses, and in the evening they modestly celebrated in a restaurant with their closest people. On another day, a magnificent celebration was organized in Barvikha with the participation of 200 guests. The bride chose a dress from Valentin Yudashkin for the most important day. The newlyweds brought a share of humor to the celebration, choosing not solid executive cars for the wedding procession, but five mini-coopers.
According to the recollections of the singer, immediately after the wedding, she and her husband had their first crisis. The main reason for the contradictions was the difference in views and upbringing. Alexander grew up in an intelligent family, loved etiquette, got used to the company of sophisticated and elegant ladies. The young singer Glucose, a teen idol and a simple neighbor girl, felt terribly awkward in his world. In addition, Chistyakov, accustomed to commanding at work, tried to carry the boss's habits to the family.
Fortunately, they knew how to hear each other, gradually adjusting to the new conditions of life. Natalia, having become a little older, eventually fell in love with beautiful dresses and high-heeled shoes instead of jeans and sneakers. Alexander, in turn, learned to behave softer and more restrained. The singer was glad that at least they did not have any disputes on domestic grounds, since there are housekeeping assistants in the family to maintain the house and look after the children.
Glucose gave birth to her first daughter almost a year after the wedding - on May 8, 2007, the girl was named Lydia. The singer did not plan to become a mother so early, but her husband managed to convince her to change her mind. Four years later, on September 8, 2011, the Chistyakov family was replenished with another daughter, who was given the name Vera.
After 10 years
Natalia and Alexander have been together for over 10 years. In 2019, they will celebrate the 13th anniversary of family life. And for the pink wedding in 2016, the spouses decided to arrange a holiday, where they again brought oaths of love and fidelity to each other. The celebration was attended by the daughters of the spouses, who, following the example of their mother, dressed in white dresses.
The singer does not get tired of confessing her love to her husband. She is grateful to Alexander, which allows her, in addition to the role of wife and mother, to realize herself in creativity. After the birth of children, Natalya, as if wishing to make up for lost time, took part in various television projects, disappearing on the set and rehearsals until late at night. Alexander was sympathetic to his wife's hobbies, until she herself realized that she had unforgivably abandoned her family and rushed to fix it.
Glucose also loves to arrange romantic surprises for her husband and, without hesitation, tells how he brings variety to the sexual life in marriage. For example, she dances in front of her husband on a striptease pole installed in the bedroom, buys costumes for role-playing games, and once even took a course in the art of oral sex.
Of course, the singer admits that over time, feelings change, and furious passion is replaced by calm, mature love. But a woman, if desired, is quite capable of remaining desirable, attractive and unpredictable for her husband.
