The early years of the popular actor Dmitry Dyuzhev were overshadowed by ordeals. In just a few years, he lost his younger sister and both parents. After the tragedy he had experienced, Dmitry wanted to go to a monastery, but the abbot advised the young man to return to worldly life and replace serving God with "serving a woman." Dyuzhev understood the whole meaning of these words when he met his future wife Tatyana.
Family tragedy
Dmitry Dyuzhev's biography dates back to July 9, 1978 in Astrakhan. He was the eldest child in the family, eight years later his younger sister Anastasia was born. Dyuzhev's father played on the stage of the city Youth Theater, a little later he started a small business, which consisted of a cafe and a shop. Dmitry's mom took care of the house and children.
He decided on his future profession quite early, it was not for nothing that he studied at the acting School of Gifted Children. After her successful graduation, Dyuzhev went to Moscow, dreaming of entering some prestigious theater university. Luck smiled at the young man at GITIS, where director Mark Zakharov was recruiting a course.
His studies in the capital coincided with the tragic events in the family. At the age of 11, Dmitry's younger sister fell ill with leukemia. To save her, her parents moved to Moscow and fought desperately for their daughter's life for a whole year. Unfortunately, their efforts were in vain. The loss of the child plunged the head of the family into a severe depression, from which he never managed to get out. Four years later, on the next anniversary of his daughter's death, Dyuzhev's father committed suicide. Alas, this loss was not the last in a series of deaths that befell the once friendly and happy family. Just a year later, Dmitry's mother was gone, who died as a result of a heart attack.
So a novice actor at the age of 25 lost his closest people. He sought salvation from the bustle of the world in the monastery, but having received the blessing of the abbot, he nevertheless returned to ordinary life. In the profession, Dmitry also did not immediately turn out all right. He told how for a long time unsuccessfully knocked over the thresholds of "Mosfilm", dreaming of getting a role at least in an extra scene or a small episode. Fortunately, the photographs of Dyuzhev somehow miraculously got to the director Alexei Sidorov, who was looking for young actors for the Brigada series. Then there was approval for the role of an eccentric bandit of the Cosmos and nationwide fame.
True love
Despite the success in cinema, Dmitry continued to fail on the personal front. It is known that he met with Svetlana Shamanova (daughter of General Vladimir Shamanov), and also had relationships with actresses Yulia Svezhakova and Natalya Shvets. However, these novels were fleeting and did not have any serious continuation.
Finally, in September 2006, Dyuzhev and his friends went to listen to the first performance of the singer Madonna in Moscow. In the crowd of spectators, he drew attention to a charming blonde who was sitting nearby. She turned out to be Tatyana Zaitseva. The girl was born in 1981 in Moscow in an intelligent family. Her father worked as a design engineer, and her mother worked as a teacher. At the time of meeting Dyuzhev, Tatyana managed to get two higher educations. She graduated from the Faculty of Psychology of the Lenin Moscow State Pedagogical University and the MBA of the Academy of National Economy. Zaitseva began her career in the marketing department of the oil company TNK-BP.
Although the girl was flattered by the courtship of the famous actor, at first she did not take this relationship seriously. After all, many women were looking for Dmitry's attention. To look at the fan with different eyes, Tanya was advised by her mother, who read the interview of the actor and made an opinion about him as a deep and wise person.
A year and a half after they met, the lovers decided to legalize the relationship. For the wedding, a symbolic date was chosen on February 14, 2008, when Valentine's Day is traditionally celebrated. The celebration took place in the banquet hall of the Metropol Hotel in the presence of 150 guests. The groom's witnesses were his colleagues on the Brigade series - Vladimir Vdovichenkov and Pavel Maikov.
But the married couple did not stop at the official registration of marriage. Since Dmitry is a deeply religious person, he dreamed of cementing his alliance with Tatyana and before God. The sacrament of the wedding took place on July 20, 2008. By that time, Dyuzheva's wife was already in a late pregnancy. The couple's firstborn, Ivan, was born on August 7, 2008.
Perfect family
The eldest son Dyuzheva was named in honor of Tatiana's grandfather, who was a priest and hid with his parishioners during the persecution of the church, remaining a faithful servant of God until his death. The birth of a child coincided with a difficult period in the life of the family, when Dmitry wanted to try his hand at directing. While filming his first short film, he refused film roles for a year and a half, which made the financial situation of the spouses much to be desired.
But Tatyana fully supported her husband in his desire to do something new. And his debut film BROTHER was highly acclaimed by critics, winning several awards at various film festivals. Over time, the material side of life has improved. When their first-born Ivan was two years old, the family moved to their own spacious apartment.
Dmitry always comes out in the company of his beloved wife, they also often give interviews together. Fans are always surprised at the harmony and understanding that prevails in the couple's relationship. In 2018, the couple celebrated the 10th anniversary of their marriage by gathering again at the Metropol, where their wedding celebration took place. Tatyana admits that she and Dmitry did not have crises of three or seven years of marriage, which psychologists love to talk about so much. They just try to listen to each other, value and cherish their love, and give in. Tatiana unconditionally recognizes the traditional family model, when the man in charge of the house. She completely trusts her spouse in some issues - for example, the distribution of finances and the upbringing of sons.
The second child of the couple, who was named after his father Dmitry, was born on January 26, 2015. The idea of the name came to Tatiana, because she was very bored in separation from her husband and dreamed that in his absence the little namesake Dyuzheva would remain with her. Dmitry is a caring and loving father, while he is not alien to the severity in relation to children. The actor is convinced that boys need to be prepared from childhood for the cruelty of the adult world.
The spouses do not exclude the birth of another child. True, they believe more in the appearance of another son than a daughter. The fact is that shortly before the wedding, while visiting the Pskov-Pechersky monastery, they met a priest who asked the future spouses why they came without sons. This "prophecy" Dyuzhevs remembered many years later, when in fact they became the parents of two boys. But how many children the father expected to see with them - he did not specify. Therefore, perhaps their family will one day be replenished with another son.
