Nikolai Valuev is a famous boxer, actor, politician, TV presenter. He met his only wife Galina before gaining popularity and considers her the main woman of his life.
Valuev's wife
Irina Valueva is the wife of a renowned boxer who became famous not only because of his high professionalism, but also thanks to non-standard external data. Nikolai Valuev is a bright and extraordinary personality, a real giant. His height is 213 centimeters. He started his career playing basketball. But after a while it became clear that growth does not help, but only prevents him from doing this sport. Nikolay came to boxing late enough. He was 20 years old and the coaches doubted that he would make a professional athlete. But they were wrong and Valuev managed to win many titles and become one of the most talented boxers.
Nikolai left professional sports when he realized that he had reached the highest level. He chose to run his own boxing school and coach the younger generation. Valuev successfully starred in several films, regularly appears on television screens as the host of various shows. He is also a member of the State Duma. In his personal life, everything turned out as great as in his career.
Galina Dimitrova met Valuev in 1998. After marriage, she took the name of the famous spouse. Very little is known about her. This beautiful woman looks fragile and petite against her husband. In fact, her height is average - 163 centimeters. She seems very small only next to Valuev. Their acquaintance happened during a dinner at a mutual friend's. Nikolai admitted that he did not pay much attention to Galina that evening. He remembered how she put food on his plate, so he jokingly asked for her phone. Galina turned out to be a straightforward and courageous girl. When the future champion called her a week later, and not the next day, as promised, she expressed her complaints to him. This won over Nikolai. After a while, they started dating. At the time of their acquaintance, Valuev was not yet known to anyone. Galina fell in love with him not for money and titles.
Difficult character
Galina has always had a rather complex character. She is very jealous and demanding. Nikolai looked after her beautifully, gave flowers, made expensive gifts. Despite this, the girl tormented herself with jealousy. She wanted there to be no fans next to Valuev. And the popularity of the chosen one was gaining momentum.
Galina recalls how she was offended when in one of the interviews he said that he loves women very much, but so far his heart is free. He later explained that this was invented by the PR service. But the boxer's girlfriend did not want to listen to any explanations. After that, Valuev had to regain confidence in himself for a long time.
Nikolai and Galina lived together for several months, and then she announced that she did not want to continue such a relationship. If Valuev does not want to marry, then she will only have to leave him and start looking for her destiny from the very beginning. The famous boxer appreciated such a bold act and made an offer. First, he asked Galina's hands from her father when they went fishing together. Later, they simply presented the girl with a fact, but she did not object.
A happy family
Galina and Nikolai's wedding turned out to be very fun. But at that time the family was going through hard times financially. In 2002, their first-born Grisha was born. Nikolai had almost no work and he spent a lot of time with his wife and son, helping his wife in everything. It was morally difficult, but the young wife always encouraged and did not give up.
Before marriage, Galina earned quite well, but then she quit her job for the sake of the child. In an interview, the boxer said that he fell in love with his wife for her directness and naturalness, as well as for the fact that she is ready to sacrifice everything for the happiness of the family. She believed in Nikolai and was always a reliable rear for him.
In 2007, Galina and Nikolai had a daughter, Irina. Valuev admits that he has long dreamed of a daughter. He treats her with great affection.
In 2012, their son Sergei was born. Valuev always wanted to be a father with many children and the desire came true. All three children became desirable and loved for them.
Galina takes care of her husband, sons and daughter. She devotes all her time to the house and does not at all regret the missed opportunities to build her own career. Valuev's wife admits that she never thought how good a husband and father Nikolai could become. He is cruel and strong only in the ring. In family life, he turned out to be an unusually gentle and caring person. Many fans of his sports talent are surprised that Nikolai is also an excellent cook. Some of the Valuevs' dishes are prepared only by the head of the family.
Nikolay takes his eldest son Grisha with him on fishing and hunting. The daughter has already managed to star in the film with her father. Little Sergei still spends most of his time with his mother. They are happy together, but do not live on display, as well-deserved happiness loves silence.
