Chulpan Khamatova is one of the most talented Russian actresses. She manages to combine work with charity and raising children. Chulpan has three wonderful daughters and they are all very different.
Marriage with Ivan Volkov and the birth of older daughters
Chulpan Khamatova met her first husband as a second-year student at the theater institute. Her lover was Ivan Volkov, the son of famous artists Olga and Nikolai Volkov. Chulpan and her chosen one registered a relationship secretly from everyone. They understood that parents on both sides would not approve of this marriage. The young four lived in Olga Vladimirovna's three-room apartment in Moscow, together with her second husband, artist Vladimir Khovralev. Chulpan developed a very warm relationship with his mother-in-law. Children in this marriage did not appear immediately, but several years after the wedding. Daughter Arina was born in 2002. In 2003, the second daughter Asya appeared in the family. Chulpan was officially still married, but the union broke up almost immediately after the birth of her second daughter. Journalists attributed paternity to Khamatova's common-law husband Alexei Dubinin. But the actress herself did not give any comments on this matter.
She met Alexei Chulpan in Germany. Dubinin is a professional ballet dancer, but at the time of his acquaintance with the actress, he had already left the stage and was engaged in business. Khamatova persuaded him to return to Russia. For her sake, Alexei finally broke up with his wife. They lived with Chulpan for more than 6 years, and then separated.
Iya's youngest daughter
The second official husband of Chulpan Khamatova was the actor, director and producer Alexander Shein. They met at work. Stein shot a film about Vladimir Mayakovsky and saw only Khamatova in the role of Lily Brik. Alexander had an affair with Anna Mikhalkova, but the meeting with Chulpan became fatal for him.
In 2010, Khamatova and Stein had a daughter, Iya. The lovers signed a week before the birth of their daughter. Chulpan hid her pregnancy until the last and did not publish a photo of the youngest child for a long time. After a while, Khamatova broke up with the girl's father. According to one version, Chulpan filed for divorce due to the fact that a criminal case was opened against her husband about embezzlement of a large sum of money allocated for the shooting of the film. The shadow of the scandal also fell on Chulpan. The actress herself declined to comment on the matter.
What are the daughters of Chulpan Khamatova doing?
Chulpan Khamatova is proud of the status of a mother of many children. She assures that all her daughters are special and very different. The eldest Arina is fond of music, the middle Asya loves sports more and enjoys playing tennis. The youngest Iya has not yet decided on her preferences due to her age.
Arina has always been a creative person and is already seriously thinking about the career of an actress. Chulpan admits that she would not want this, but she will accept any choice of her daughter. Khamatova loves her profession, but she cannot but admit that being an actress is difficult, and you need to be prepared for certain difficulties. Chulpan is proud that she was able to build warm and trusting relationships with her daughters. Against the background of the general fascination with gadgets, her children are perceived by many as "white crows." The actress once asked Arina and Asya not to spend all their free time on the Internet, and that was enough.
The older daughters are very friendly and enjoy spending almost all their free time together. At the same time, they had periods when each fought for leadership. The grown-up girls are raising their younger sister Iu and love her very much. Chulpan Khamatova tries to instill spiritual values in her daughters, and at the same time she is sure that children from an early age should learn to make decisions on their own.
Chulpan Khamatova does not scold her daughters because of their grades. She believes that school performance does not always help a person achieve something in life. The actress encourages other parents not to stress their children if they fail to get a high score in some subject. In some moments Chulpan is very strict. She closely monitors the environment of the children and considers this to be much more important than assessments.
