True, their relationship was never even, later Zinaida admitted that she was more often the culprit and initiator of quarrels. An actress on stage and in life, she simply could not resign her bright temperament.

Tenyakova: biography of a star
Natalya Tenyakova is the second wife of Jurassic. She was born in 1944 in Leningrad, immediately after the lifting of the blockade. The family was intelligent and friendly, but absolutely far from art. Parents dreamed that a smart and capable girl would become a teacher, but Natasha chose the stage. Even at school, she gladly participated in all amateur performances, even the teachers noted her unconditional talent.
The future actress decided not to go to Moscow and entered LGITMiK, and on the first try. The girl studied with the magnificent actor Boris Zon, who could find the key to each student, fully revealing his potential. After graduating from high school. Natalia received an invitation to Lenkom and even starred in a movie with Tatyana Doronina. The further fate was determined by a chance meeting during the next television project.
Natalia was invited to the main role in the production of "The Big Cat's Tale". It turned out that her partner would be Sergei Yursky, already a well-known and popular actor. The actors had not only to play together, but to portray the newlyweds. The girl was absolutely depressed by Jurassic's stellar authority and was very shy. However, the charming Sergei helped her to get comfortable on the set, the love duet turned out to be very convincing. However, after a while it became clear to everyone: the young actress was fascinated not so much by the character of Jurassic, but by himself. Later it turned out that the love was mutual. Sergei immediately became interested in the young actress, but considered the relationship unpromising: Natalya was 9 years younger than him and lived in a happy marriage, and he himself was not free.
However, the fate of both was predetermined. After a while, Sergei realized that this was not just a hobby and announced to Zinaida about parting. Her reaction was violent: several days of tears, scandals, threats of suicide. But this did not affect Jurassic's decision. He left, leaving Zinaida an apartment and other property.
By that time, Natalia had already filed for a divorce. The couple began to live together, traditionally not caring too much about the formalization of the marriage.
Family life
Sergei and Natalya tried not to advertise their relationship in the theater, for colleagues they remained only partners on the stage. In addition, despite mutual love and strong attraction, life together was not perfectly smooth. There were quarrels, scandals, misunderstandings. For some time, both were seriously thinking about parting. Jealousy also contributed to this - Sergei did not forget that his beloved was pretty and very young, and she was not deprived of the attention of the opposite sex. However, violent quarrels always ended in reconciliation and only fueled feelings.
Despite the workload in the theater and a busy life outside the home, the couple managed to establish quite a comfortable life. Yursky was in charge of the kitchen: he knew how to cook simple but interesting dishes and often pleased his wife with late dinners or breakfast in bed.
Living together without an official stamp in your passport is a normal occurrence in a creative environment. This state of affairs did not weigh on either Sergei or Natalia. However, after a joint tour, where they refused to accommodate the couple in one room, it was decided to formalize the relationship. The registration took place the next day, in Yalta, in the presence of three witnesses.
After a while, the only daughter, Daria, was born, further strengthening the marriage. The family has always been united by humor, an easy attitude to life, neglect of everyday problems. Tenyakova and Yursky often appeared on stage together and did not get tired of such strong contacts at all. They did not compete for the attention of the audience: the fans adored each of them and admired the sparkling duets.
Later, the couple passed another test: Jurassic began to survive from their native theater due to disagreements with the leadership. Filming has also become increasingly rare. At this difficult moment, Tenyakova completely sided with her husband and even changed her last name, becoming Jurassic. True, in the posters the name familiar to the public remained unchanged, but everyone appreciated the gesture. The union of Natalia and Sergei lasted more than 50 years, it was interrupted only by the death of the actor.
