The solar charm of Sergei Bezrukov has always attracted the attention of the opposite sex to him. They say that girls fought over him in kindergarten. However, until recently, the actor was considered an impeccable family man. 2015 was a fatal year for the seemingly strong family of Sergei and Irina Bezrukov.
Sergey and Irina Bezrukov: an exemplary family
Sergei Bezrukov met his first wife Irina on the set of the film "Unfamiliar Weapon, or Crusader-2". A beauty with a model appearance immediately attracted the attention of a young actor. However, Irina, who had long been married to another popular actor, Igor Livanov, behaved very restrainedly, which unwittingly aroused even greater interest in an ardent young man, accustomed to easy victories. By Sergey's own admission, he did everything to attract the attention of an unapproachable beauty. A stormy romance between the actors flared up during the filming of the second joint film - "Chinese Service". Soon Irina left her husband, taking her 10-year-old son Andrey.
In 2000, Sergei Bezrukov and Irina Livanova got married, Irina took her husband's surname. After that, she completely devoted herself to the family, almost never parting with Sergei and supporting him in everything. Colleagues, journalists and fans considered the Bezrukovs to be an ideal couple. It seemed that nothing could destroy their family. The joint happiness of Sergei and Irina was overshadowed by only one thing, but a very important circumstance: they did not have common children, whom Sergei Bezrukov dreamed of so much.
While Irina kept the family hearth, Sergei continued to play in the theater and act in films, becoming more and more popular from film to film. Sometimes Irina starred with him, playing small roles. So, she played the wife of district police officer Pavel Kravtsov (Sergei Bezrukov played this role) in the popular TV series by Alexander Baranov “Plot” (2003) and Lydia Kashina (prototype of Anna Snegina) in Igor Zaitsev’s series “Yesenin” (2005). The couple worked together in the Moscow Provincial Theater created by Bezrukov.
In 2015, a terrible tragedy happened in the life of Irina Bezrukova. While the Provincial Theater was on tour, Irina's 25-year-old son Andrei, who remained in Moscow, died by an absurd accident. The young man had diabetes, he felt unwell, slipped on a tile and fell, hitting his head. In those difficult days for Irina, the behavior of Sergei Bezrukov unpleasantly struck even his fans: he did not interrupt the tour and did not come to the funeral of his stepson. But Igor Livanov, having learned about the tragedy, came to his ex-wife with a bouquet of roses and tried in every possible way to support her.
Soon, the long-term happy marriage of Sergei and Irina Bezrukov fell apart. As it turned out, there were several reasons for this.
Christina Smirnova: an affair with a sequel
On the set of the Yesenin series, Sergei Bezrukov met the actress and singer Kristina Smirnova, who played a cameo role. A romance broke out between the young people, which, nevertheless, did not become a reason for parting with his wife. However, the relationship lasted long enough. In 2008, Sergei and Christina had a daughter, Alexander, two years later, a son, Ivan, was born. Most likely, Irina Bezrukova was in happy ignorance, because she and Sergei lived in Moscow, and the second, Bezrukov's unofficial family, was in St. Petersburg. Later, Christina and her children left for England. Despite this, Sergei continues to communicate with the children and even introduced them to his second wife, Anna. It is interesting that she managed to find a common language with Christina Smirnova.
Sergey Bezrukov and Anna Matison
The real reason for the divorce of Sergei and Irina Bezrukov was the new love of the actor - Anna Matison. The actor, according to tradition, met Anna on the set. She directed the film "Milky Way", where Bezrukov played the main role. Office romances happened to Sergei more than once, however, this time, everything turned out to be so serious that he decided to leave his wife. Friends and fans of the star couple thought that Sergei and Irina would soon reunite, but the subsequent wedding of Bezrukov and Anna Matison dispelled their hopes.
In 2016, daughter Masha was born in the new family of Sergei Bezrukov. Happy Sergei said in an interview that for the first time he fully felt like a father. In November 2018, the son Stepan was born. Professional cooperation between Bezrukov and Anna Matison continues. The actor played the main roles in two more of her films - "After You" (2016) and "Reserve" (2018), and in both he played representatives of the creative professions - a ballet dancer and a rock musician.
With Irina Bezrukova, Sergei still maintains warm, friendly relations. She continues to work in the theater he headed. However, the experience of the relationship between Sergei Bezrukov and his wives leads to a very instructive conclusion. A loving woman should not dissolve in her husband, men - especially those who themselves are creative personalities, give preference to successful, self-sufficient women.
