Sergei Makovetsky has been living with his first and only wife for over 30 years. Fate did not give the couple a common child, but together they raised the son of Elena Makovetskaya from their first marriage.
Popular actor Sergei Makovetsky married once and for life. The artist lives with his first wife Elena to this day. The couple did not have common children, but Sergei raised the son of his beloved from his first marriage and considers him to be his family.
Fateful accidents
Sergei Makovetsky, up to a certain age, did not feel any interest in acting. The guy lived alone with his mother, since his father left the family. The woman did everything possible so that her son had everything he needed for a happy childhood and a successful future. Makovetsky was fond of sports, and his mother supported all his undertakings.
But once a teacher at school literally forced Sergei to go on stage and play in a school play. At first, the young man refused and was extremely worried. But then I decided on this experiment and got a taste. At the moment when the future actor first appeared on the stage, his life seemed to turn upside down. After that, there were two whole attempts to enter the theater school. But both times Makovetsky was "rejected" by such great figures as Konstantin Raikin and Oleg Tabakov. But the young man nevertheless added his own and was enrolled in the "Pike".
Sergei had to show his perseverance and determination at the next stage, when he already got a job in the theater. At first, the novice actor did not want to give serious roles, but here he again achieved his goal.
If one accident made Sergei a famous artist, then the second made him a happy family man. Makovetsky in his youth had problems communicating with the opposite sex. It was extremely difficult for him to make new acquaintances, and the actor could only dream of building a serious relationship at that time. He even managed to despair of becoming happy in family life. But then there was an offer from a colleague of the young man in the theater: "Let's get married?"
Dispute wedding
Actress Elena Demchenko often crossed paths with Makovetsky at work. Sergei starred with a girl in the same studio, but in different films. True, at first the communication of the future spouses was limited to the morning greeting and farewell at the end of the working day. After the first glance, there was no question of any spark.
Elena at that time was not going through the best period of her life. The woman was divorced and struggled to earn money to provide for a son left over from a past relationship. After a scandalous breakup with her first spouse, Demchenko was not ready to let herself in any new man. Her main desire was just to work quietly and raise a child. But colleagues chose the woman as the object of their constant jokes. Elena regularly heard ridicule about her loneliness. Sometimes those around her told her to her face that she could definitely forget about her personal life. Well, who will marry an already middle-aged and not too well-known divorced actress, and even with a child in her arms?
At one point, Demchenko was very tired of such conversations, and she promised herself that she would soon marry the first person she met in spite of all the gossips. Having made this decision, Elena began to analyze the candidacies of all the more or less familiar men from her environment. In the end, the most suitable was Sergey Makovetskiy. The man had never been married before, had no children and was famous for his kind, meek disposition. Desperate Elena once just waited for the actor on the set and offered to get married. The girl herself at that time did not at all believe in the successful outcome of her attempt. But Sergei, to the great surprise of Demchenko, suddenly agreed. Makovetsky replied to the proposal of an unfamiliar actress that the wedding would take place in May.
Every day, Elena expected her colleague to give up on her plan. She was waiting for a statement that Sergei was just joking. But the actor kept his promise. In the spring, a wedding took place, to which all those gossips who spoiled Demchenko's life came. Of course, relatives and friends of the couple also attended the celebration.
Later Makovetsky said that he felt in his heart: Elena is his destiny. The child was not embarrassed by the woman's child from her first marriage, nor by the fact that Demchenko was 18 years older than him.
Happy marriage
More than 30 years have passed since the spontaneous and unexpected wedding of two almost unfamiliar actors. Until now, Sergei and Elena live together. The spouses did not manage to give birth to joint children, so they raised their son Demchenko together.
Over the years they lived together, the couple had both bad and good. Once, a divorce almost took place because of Makovetsky's addiction to a bottle. But together, the couple were able to overcome all difficulties. By the way, Sergey gave up drinking thanks to his adopted son. Realizing that by his behavior the actor hurts the child, he quickly found the strength to encode and return to active creative work. To this day, Makovetsky acts in films and plays in the theater.
