Natalia was born in Moscow and since childhood she was passionate about several sports. She was seriously involved in artistic gymnastics, but due to an injury, she was forced to stop training. It was very difficult, because Natalya devoted all her free time to sports. Her father was a coach, and even in her student years, the girl herself led a column on the NTV plus channel dedicated to the wives of football players. But the girl was able to come to terms with the end of her sports career and decided to become a journalist.
After graduating from the institute, Natalya went to work on television as a sports commentator, began to broadcast several copyright programs. On the set of the "School of Scandal" program, she met Vasily Utkin.
Vasily long sought Natalia's location. He tried to please her in everything and made amazing surprises. Upon learning that his beloved has a passion for tulips, he gave her large bouquets every week. To do this, he had to order flowers of unusual shapes and colors directly from Holland. Natalia loved the work of "Agatha Christie", and Vasily was friends with the lead singer of the group. Once he invited the girl to a restaurant owned by his friend, and for Natalia the whole evening the musicians of the group performed their best songs.
Despite Utkin's efforts, the marriage lasted only 1, 5 years. A few months after the official divorce, the former spouses got back together and tried to start all over again, but then they parted completely. Natalia met a new man. It turned out to be a footballer Sergei Ignashevich.
