Singer Alsou made her debut on stage at the age of 15, the audience fell in love with her after the very first song - "Winter Dream". Then there was an impressive success at Eurovision, but further career development was prevented by changes in Alsou's personal life. In 2006, she married businessman Yan Abramov, and then, with a difference of two years, gave him two daughters. In 2016, the couple had a long-awaited heir - a son, Raphael. Now the singer releases songs or gives solo concerts much less often, since her beloved family occupies the main place in her life.
Acquaintance with husband and engagement
As Alsou recalled, by 2005 she managed to become famous, see the world, record several albums - that is, fully realize herself in her career plan. Therefore, internally I wanted further development in something new, for example, in the role of wife and mother. Once in the fall, a friend called her - the singer Ariana - and offered to introduce her to an interesting young man whom Alsou had long liked.
The first meeting took place in a posh restaurant. A new acquaintance - businessman Yan Abramov - pleasantly impressed the girl with her impeccable appearance, gallantry, sense of humor, and erudition. They talked for several hours, until the very closing of the restaurant. On the next date, Abramov prepared a surprise for the singer by playing on the piano excerpts from two dozen songs from her repertoire. As it turned out, he had never studied music, but at the same time he was able to play the melody he liked on the piano on the fly.
The singer loves to remember her candy-bouquet period with her future husband. He gave her amazing surprises in the spirit of Hollywood cinema. For example, he drove up on the plane with a bouquet of flowers, meeting the flight on which Alsou was flying. Or ordered hundreds of fresh flowers to the hotel rooms where she stayed. The novel developed so rapidly that two months later, Jan offered his beloved to become his wife. They stood on the roof of the restaurant, and as soon as Alsou said the cherished "yes", dozens of fireworks lit up the sky. She remembered these unforgettable moments for the rest of her life.
Wedding and birth of children
The marriage of the singer and the businessman took place on March 18, 2006 in the building of the State Central Concert Hall "Russia". The celebration brought together statesmen, politicians, businessmen, representatives of show business. For the most important day, Alsou ordered a dress from her older brother's wife, who designs clothes. She wore a classic outfit with a full skirt, corset and long train.
First, the guests saw the official registration, after which the newlyweds were congratulated and presented with a marriage certificate by the mayor of Moscow, Yuri Luzhkov. Then the festive banquet began. The groom's parents presented the young family with a penthouse in Moscow, and the bride's parents - a country house. All the guests were handed a disk with a song that Jan and Alsou recorded together. Elena Hanga and Svyatoslav Belza were in charge of the conference at the wedding.
The newlyweds wanted to avoid the attention of the paparazzi in every possible way, so they organized increased security measures around the celebration. But the pictures still got into the press. As it turned out, one of the "yellow" publications had placed several hidden cameras in the room in advance.
Alsou again faced attempts to invade her privacy during her first pregnancy. When the singer was briefly taken to the hospital, she was literally attacked by representatives of the press, trying to enter the ward under various pretexts. Therefore, the caring husband decided to take his beloved abroad. The eldest daughter of the spouses was born on September 7, 2006 in the United States at the prestigious Cedars Sinai clinic, where many American celebrities prefer to give birth.
The baby was given the beautiful name Safina, which completely coincided in spelling with the singer's maiden name, but differed only in stress. Alsou is proud that her husband was present at the birth and stayed with her until the end. The singer coped with the role of mother perfectly, since at the age of 13 her younger brother Renard was born, and she was happy to tinker with him, gaining a useful experience in caring for children.
The second pregnancy came less than a year later. Alsou was very happy about the small difference between the children, especially when she found out about her second daughter. This time she gave birth in Israel, in one of the best clinics in the country. Baby Mikella was born on April 29, 2008. After 8 years, the singer decided to become a mother for the third time. In August 2016, she gave her husband the long-awaited heir - the son of Raphael.
Family and parenting
With the beginning of changes in Alsou's personal life, the main topic of her interview is her husband and children. The singer admits that she is still in love with her husband, as if they had just got married. The singer did not immediately introduce her daughters to the public. According to her, she was waiting for the girls to grow up and consciously want to participate in photo shoots for magazines or go out. For the same reason, the artist also hides her little son from prying eyes.
Like any mother, Alsou is proud of her daughters' successes. In addition to school, the singer's heirs are additionally engaged in dancing, drawing, music, foreign languages. According to my mother, they are quite different in nature. The older Safina is more responsible, calm, loves to study, plays the piano superbly. The youngest Mikella is a real creative person: she sings, composes poetry and music, loves the stage. She recently took part in auditions for the popular project “Voice. Children.
Alsou believes that it is too early for her daughter to debut on stage at the age of 10, but her natural confidence and artistry suggest otherwise. The singer herself admits that at the beginning of her career she struggled with shyness for a long time and is still worried before each performance, while Mikella feels completely calm in public.
In addition to education and creativity, Alsou teaches her daughters to clean up their rooms, keep the closet clean, and remove the dishes from the table. Although there are domestic helpers in their family, the singer believes that girls should have an idea of how to do everyday life. The father, due to his employment, sees his daughters much less often, therefore he pampers them more, and Alsou has to show severity and exactingness. At the same time, the head of the family is an indisputable authority for Safina and Mikella, they treat him with great respect, obey, try not to upset.
The girls reacted well to the appearance of their younger brother. Alsou is sure that a decent age difference played a positive role. They perceive Raphael with a share of maternal feelings, play with him with pleasure, rock him, sing lullabies.
Recently, the singer rarely goes out with her husband, which is why the press began to write about the discord in the family. Alsou tries not to react to such gossip, assuring that she still remains a loving wife and mother. Now the youngest son has grown up a little, and the singer decided to actively pursue a solo career. The husband fully supported her desire, agreeing to take on part of the care for the children, so that Alsou could calmly devote herself to creativity.
