Personal life of Ksenia Rappoport

From him, Ksenia gave birth to her eldest daughter Daria-Aglaya. Despite the birth of a child, the couple soon broke up. Ksenia's daughter also became an actress, together with her mother they played in the film "Ice".
They talked a lot about the relationship between Ksenia and the artistic director of the Praktika Theater, Eduard Boyakov. There were no comments from the actress herself about these rumors. Perhaps the silence is due to the fact that Boyakov was married, and the breakup after several months was quite painful.

In 2015, the couple's relationship ended, although Kolokolnikov continues to visit his daughter.
