Over time, she was offered the position of editor in the glossy magazine "Hello!", Where she still works. Having gained experience, in 2008 Bondarchuk began to publish her own magazine called “Icons”.
Since 1989, Svetlana Bondarchuk has been acting in films. She began with a little-known short film "A Summer Morning Dream", filmed at that time by Fyodor Bondarchuk, a student at VGIK. In 2006, the woman worked as a costume designer on the set of the film "Heat", and in 2012 she played the main role in the film "Love with an Accent" directed by Rezo Gigineishvili. The tape was warmly received by the audience.
Marriage and divorce
Svetlana met her future husband Fyodor Bondarchuk at the age of 16. They were brought together by mutual acquaintances. For some time, the young people were friends, and then they realized that they had feelings for each other. They got married and lived together for 25 years. In marriage, children were born Sergei and Varvara. The son of a stellar couple studied in the United States as a director, and has already managed to try himself in films as an actor. Sergei Bondarchuk played in such films as "Stalingrad", "Warrior", "Champions" and others. In addition, he gave Fyodor and Svetlana granddaughters Vera and Margarita.
Svetlana and Fedor were considered the perfect couple. The famous director constantly showed signs of attention to his wife, gave jewelry and lush bouquets of flowers for every wedding anniversary. And yet, in 2015, the public learned the unexpected news that the couple were going to divorce. Information about this appeared on the page on the official website "Hello!" and came personally from Svetlana Bondarchuk. According to her, the couple does not hold grudge against each other and does not regret at all about the years they lived together, which were really wonderful.
The divorce took place in early 2016. Its cause, apparently, was the novels of the spouses on the side. Fedor became interested in the young actress Paulina Andreeva, who is known for the series and films Thaw, Method, Locust and others. After the divorce, they began to meet openly and even planned a wedding for the summer of 2017. And yet, the lovers parted for unclear circumstances, leaving aside plans for a life together. As for Svetlana, her suitor was Alexey Molchanov, a make-up artist for the French company Lancome.
Currently, Svetlana Bondarchuk, who has retained her famous surname, is trying to improve her life in her new apartment on the Patriarch's Ponds in Moscow. The sad news recently emerged: the daughter of the actress and model, Varvara, has a certain congenital disease and is undergoing constant rehabilitation abroad. Svetlana is very worried about the girl's condition and spends a lot of time with her. Fortunately, according to the latest data, Barbara's health has improved.
