Personal life of Ivan Dorn
Among all Ukrainian celebrities, Ivan Dorn is distinguished by his special closeness and secrecy. He does not talk about his personal life in an interview, preferring to keep family life in the strictest confidence.
Although Dorn is very careful, he has not been able to hide his wife's name. The wife of the famous singer is named Anastasia Novikova, and they have known each other since childhood, they studied in the same class. This fact became known from the parents of Anastasia Novikova, who live in Slavutich, the city where the couple spent their school years.
Before formalizing their relationship, Ivan and Anastasia checked their relationship, having lived in a civil marriage for six years.
So, Ivan and Anastasia studied together at secondary school №1 in the city of Slavutich, however, during their school years, the children did not have a romantic relationship. Nastya Novikova was not a class star and, according to former classmates, did not stand out in anything special. After graduating from school, Novikova left for Kiev, where she studied at the design department of the National Aviation University.
A year after school graduation, Ivan and Anastasia met by chance at a resort in Evpatoria and saw each other from a new perspective. This is not to say that the romance was unclouded. Young people had different outlooks on family life. Nastya wanted a quiet, calm life, while Ivan strove for freedom. Ivan's creative way of thinking and love of freedom often became a reason for quarrels. The girl was not satisfied with Dorn's absence from home for many days and his active participation in friends' projects.
However, the couple managed to overcome all difficulties and after six years of marriage, Anastasia Novikova became the official wife of Ivan Dorn and took his last name. The couple settled in Kiev. A short time after the wedding, Nastya gave birth to Ivan a daughter, who was named Vasilina, and a year later a second child was born. For a long time, the fact of the wedding and the birth of two children was hidden from the public, but journalists still discovered the truth.
