Evgeny Petrosyan is not the only husband of Elena Stepanenko. Before him, the artist was married to the famous pianist Alexander Vasiliev. Little is known about this part of the humorist's biography.
Today, fans talk exclusively about the second wife of Elena Stepanenko. Few people know that the woman also had her first marriage. True, not long.
The first love
Elena was born in the most ordinary family. Her parents were far from creative - a hairdresser and a cook. But the girl from childhood was distinguished by her artistry and a cheerful disposition. At school, Stepanenko was a real activist. She was loved by her classmates, and the teachers were invited to almost every festive scene or performance.
After leaving school, Elena firmly decided that she would become a famous artist. Therefore, she went to conquer the capital. In Moscow, the girl easily entered GITIS, and after receiving her diploma, she began working in the theater. It is interesting that the first roles of the future comedian were serious and dramatic. Then the talented Lena did not even imagine that in the future she would connect her life with humor.
It was during her student days that Stepanenko fell seriously in love for the first time. V. Khristenko became her chosen one. Elena was captivated by the wonderful voice and unusual appearance of the opera singer. The girl began to attend all the performances of her idol and tried to interest him in every possible way. As a result, the future star even confessed her feelings to Khristenko. But the man did not reciprocate her.
Wedding with Vasiliev
The failure with the opera singer greatly upset the girl. But positive Elena quickly coped with unpleasant emotions and decided to pay attention to the guys around her. Of all the acquaintances at that time, she liked Sasha Vasiliev most of all. Even then, he was a famous pianist who accompanied the stars. It was Alexander who became the first spouse of the future comedian.
The lovers did not meet for long, after which they decided to get married. The wedding turned out to be modest, but fun and incendiary. True, today it is impossible to find a single photo from a celebration on the Internet. Stepanenko herself does not like to talk about her first marriage and ignores any questions from journalists about Vasilyev.
Elena was still the wife of Alexander when she met Yevgeny Petrosyan. The girl got a job in a variety theater under the leadership of the latter. At first, the relationship between Elena and Eugene was extremely friendly. In Petrosyan's team, fame came to Stepanenko. A cheerful and perky girl began performing at the best metropolitan venues, appearing on TV, and touring the country.
It is interesting that it was Vasiliev who introduced Elena to Eugene. At first, the couple even performed together. Alexander accompanied his beloved. But gradually the creative paths of the couple began to diverge. Even then, Stepanenko began to notice Petrosyan's interest in herself as a woman.
Second marriage
When Elena realized that she was having an affair with her creative director, she informed her husband about it. The divorce soon took place. And in 85, Stepanenko and Petrosyan got married. The couple did not have a magnificent wedding, but this did not bother the lovers at all. The newly minted spouses plunged headlong into joint work.
Elena and Eugene did pair numbers that the audience especially liked. This creative tandem has gained a lot of fans all over the country. Endless tours and performances began, large fees went. It seemed that comedians made an ideal couple who would never part.
Petrosyan and Stepanenko really lived together for a very long time - more than 30 years. During this time, the family managed to face numerous trials and difficulties, but all of them were successfully overcome. A couple of popular comedians were considered one of the strongest in show business. But this was before Evgeny Vaganovich's new young lover appeared.
When Elena found out about the presence of a rival, and also that several of her husband's apartments had already passed into her ownership, she immediately filed for divorce. To this day, former spouses cannot improve their relationship and agree on a peaceful division of property.
Stepanenko is lonely today, although she is periodically credited with new novels with stellar men. But Petrosyan is already openly building his happiness with a 30-year-old assistant. The girl promises to give birth to his child. Elena herself for her life was never able to know the joy of motherhood.
