Happy family relationships are rare for famous rock musicians. Konstantin Kinchev is an exception to this rule. His wife Alexandra Panfilova became the main love of his life and a real standard of a faithful companion.
The beginning of a relationship
Konstantin Kinchev met the main woman in his life in 1988, when his popularity was not only at its peak: he was a cult figure of that time, and his music was a symbol of long-awaited freedom and truth. Alexandra stood in line at the Eliseevsky store. Konstantin immediately drew attention to a girl of incredible beauty, and since their mutual friends were nearby (among them was Yuri Shevchuk), he immediately met her. Of course, Sasha immediately recognized the idol of thousands of people in the USSR, but, by her own admission, she did not show much enthusiasm, because she herself had never been a fan of Alice's work.
At that time, Kinchev was married, although the relationship with his previous wife had already come to naught. Alexandra's first marriage turned out to be unsuccessful, and a wonderful daughter Maria remained from him. Falling in love arose immediately, but even an innocent first kiss happened only after a month of dating. Soon Konstantin and Alexandra began to live together, and immediately Kinchev filed for a divorce from his wife. The couple was in no hurry to register the relationship officially, but there was only one reason - a complete coincidence of views on marriage. Both believed that the stamp in the passport did not mean anything, because the main thing was the spiritual unity of the spouses. However, the wedding took place in 1991, since it was necessary for an Orthodox wedding. There was no magnificent wedding, Alexandra and Konstantin just went to the registry office and celebrated the event in a narrow circle of the closest people.
Alexandra took her husband's surname - Panfilov: this is precisely the real name of Konstantin. Kinchev is a name-brand that the musician uses to this day in his creative activities.
In the same year, a daughter, Vera, was born in the Panfilov family. Later, the girl repeatedly appeared in Kinchev's videos along with her half-sister Masha.
What is Alexandra Panfilova known for?
Alexandra Panfilova (nee Lokteva) is one of the four children of the Honored Artist of the RSFSR, State Prize Laureate, actor Alexei Loktev, famous for the film "I Walk Through Moscow" (1963). The girl had every chance to follow in her father's footsteps, but she chose a different path. Alexandra was engaged in journalism, art criticism, worked on television.
Konstantin Kinchev's wife is a creative, impulsive woman. She is unlikely to be able to run a business, but at the same time she has the ability to reflect and create. She is very impulsive and original, while those around her were always amazed at her incredible external beauty and charisma. Having married Kinchev, Alexandra stopped trying to do any large-scale projects, devoting herself to family life. At the same time, in narrow theatrical circles, the wife of the famous musician is quite famous. She writes deep analytical texts on art history topics and is considered an expert in this field.
Alexandra and Konstantin do not like public events, always preferring to them an evening in the family circle in their kitchen. So it is: to see the soloist of "Alice" with his wife on the pages of the gossip column is almost unrealistic.
Unlike her mother, daughter Vera is a more open and secular person. Having inherited the exceptional beauty of her mother, as well as the talent and originality of her father, at one time she easily entered GITIS and is now actively building her acting career. Vera is already acting in full-length films, working on the set with Konstantin Khabensky and Pautina Andreeva. The girl maintains a very stylish blog on Instagram, where her parents sometimes appear.
The secret of family happiness
Alexandra sometimes gives interviews to journalists in which she does not answer specific personal questions about her spouse, but generously shares philosophical reflections on family happiness.
Alexandra constantly repeats that Constantine is the only person who hears exactly what she says. She does not need to explain anything: sometimes words are superfluous. Their mutual understanding and spiritual unity over the years of their lives - of course.
Konstantin Kinchev always speaks of his wife with great love, respect and admiration. The musician likes the eastern culture of raising women, where girls from an early age learn to run a household and always be "for" a man. In his opinion, Alexandra personifies the oriental style of housekeeping, while maintaining Western independence and modernity. She fully shares the position of the Christian hierarchy in relation to her husband. Even during the sacrament ceremony, she always follows her husband, not in front. For many years Alexandra has been cultivating meekness, patience, responsibility, abandonment of her own interests, admiration for her husband's life. It is quite possible that such a position will seem somewhat humiliating to the average person, but in a deep sense, it is this alignment that becomes the formula for long and happy family relationships. That is why the spouses have been together for almost 30 years, which is a rarity for show business and even more so for rock music.
