In her profession, actress Anna Snatkina prefers costumed, historical films, and in real life her main purpose is the role of wife and mother. The screen star has been married to showman and TV presenter Viktor Vasiliev since 2012. In April 2013, the couple had a daughter, Veronica, who is still the only child in this creative family.
Marriage and childbirth
Anna Snatkina began her acting career from the first courses of study at VGIK. Striving for success in her beloved profession, the girl devoted a lot of energy to work, and in her personal life she preferred not to force events. She did not hide that she was happy with a man named Andrei, but she was in no hurry to introduce the chosen one to the public. As a result, this union broke up after 8 years of relationship due to the betrayal of Anna's lover.
In early 2012, the actress was invited as a guest to the comic show Yesterday Live on Channel One. There she met her future husband Viktor Vasiliev, who was the host of the program. Young people immediately felt mutual sympathy, so they decided to continue communication in the very near future. Moreover, Anna invited Victor to her performance. However, the next meeting did not come out at all as they had planned.
Snatkina unexpectedly ended up in the hospital when she was attacked with the intent of robbery. An agitated Vasiliev came to visit the girl in a medical institution. But the further continuation of the acquaintance was hampered by the strong employment of both at work. Then Anna invited a new friend to accompany her to the famous film award. And although the journalists immediately launched the news about the romance of the two stars, they themselves did not yet know how their relationship would develop.
Later, Anna and Victor admitted that they approached the creation of a family seriously and responsibly, since both grew up on the example of their parents, who had been in strong and happy marriages for more than a dozen years. Vasiliev's relatives were seriously worried that he would remain a bachelor, because by the age of 37, the showman had not acquired a wife or children. All his relationship ended after a short living together. But Snatkina did not share this version of the development of the novel. Therefore, she immediately warned her lover that she would move to him only after the wedding. Then Victor decided on an important step and invited Anna to marry.
Two months after the marriage proposal, the future spouses learned about the imminent addition to the family. They decided to organize the wedding in the homeland of the groom - in St. Petersburg. A magnificent celebration was staged on October 12, 2012 on the territory of the Summer Palace, where about 150 guests were invited. The functions of the toastmaster were taken over by the groom's close friend Dmitry Khrustalev.
Snatkina and Vasiliev became parents for the first time on April 18, 2013. It is noteworthy that their newborn daughter remained without a name for a long time, since the parents could not come to a compromise on this issue. Anna wanted to name the baby Maria in honor of her younger sister, and Victor insisted on the name Vera - in honor of his beloved grandmother. As a result, the couple settled on the name Veronica.
Happy parents
Soon after the birth of her daughter, Anna tried to return to the set, but this experience left her not the best impressions, so the actress decided to take a break in her career for a period of one year. During this period, she enjoyed motherhood and was actively involved in the development of little Veronica. According to Snatkina, from infancy, she and her husband showed the baby special cards with Russian and English words, and later added math cards to them.
From the age of two, Veronica attended a bilingual kindergarten, and at the age of three, her parents sent her to rhythmic gymnastics. Snatkina and Vasiliev believe that sport must be present in a child's life. Moreover, in childhood and adolescence, they themselves devoted a lot of time to physical development: Anna was engaged in gymnastics and acrobatics, and Viktor - in football. Parents are proud that Veronica is praised by coaches, and she is already taking prizes in competitions.
It is not yet clear how her future fate in gymnastics will turn out, but Snatkina would like to see her daughter at the Olympics. However, whatever the outcome, the girl will have correct posture, stretch and a beautiful figure after class, which makes her mother very happy.
Due to intense training, it was decided to pick up Veronica from kindergarten. However, in addition to sports, she is engaged in drawing, English, vocals, and from the age of five she goes to prepare for school. According to the parents, in the future, the daughter herself will decide what to pay the most attention to.
By the way, Anna and Victor only recently introduced Veronica to the general public. Until the age of six, they refused family photo sessions for the press, did not take their daughter to social events and did not show her photos on the Internet. The couple waited for the child to grow up and be able to express their own opinion on this matter. After all, their methods of upbringing are aimed at ensuring that Veronica does everything exclusively with love and desire.
