Olga Ostroumova is one of the most talented Russian actresses. Her life was very stormy and she managed to find personal happiness only the third time. The third husband of Ostroumova is the famous actor Valentin Gaft.
Olga Ostroumova and her first love
Olga Ostroumova is an actress with a strong will and a difficult fate. She was born in 1947 in Burguslan. Olga's family was very friendly. Her parents had three children. Ostroumova carried her childhood memories through her whole life and they helped her in difficult moments when she lost faith in goodness. She always speaks with special warmth about her loved ones. Olga's father was a priest and objected to her admission to the theater institute. But the girl showed persistence and her parents had to bless her.
Olga entered GITIS and during her student days she fell seriously in love for the first time. Her fellow student Boris Annaberdiev became her chosen one. The young man was her complete opposite. Boris had a cheerful, cocky disposition and often made fun of his beloved. He considered her not frivolous enough for an actress. The relationship between Olga and Boris developed rapidly and within a few months after they met they got married. The marriage lasted only a few years. After graduation, Boris left for Ashgabat by distribution, while Olga remained in Moscow. Their love could not stand the test of separation.
Marriage with Mikhail Levitin
After graduating from the theater institute, Olga was invited to work at the Youth Theater. There she met the director Mikhail Levitin. He began to show persistent signs of attention, although at that time he was married. For the young actress, the relationship with the married director at first seemed impermissible, but the feelings turned out to be stronger. Olga immediately told her husband about her new love and filed for divorce. Mikhail promised to divorce, but did not do it right away. They got married in 1973. A year later, the actress gave birth to a daughter, Olga, and then a son, Mikhail.
Having children did not save the marriage from problems. Olga was warned about the frivolous nature of her lover. She hoped to change him, but Mikhail from time to time did not miss the opportunity to start an affair on the side. Over the years of marriage, Ostroumova experienced a lot and in 1993 filed for divorce. The children were categorically against the separation of their parents and this became the reason for the deterioration of their relationship with their mother.
Marriage to Valentin Gaft
Ostroumova met her third husband Valentin Gaft during the filming of the film "Garage". Then they were both not free. Valentin Iosifovich admitted that he liked Olga very much, but he could not afford to start caring for a married woman. In 1996, they met again at the same event, accidentally there. At that time, Gaft was free, and Olga was going through a difficult divorce. The new relationship helped her cope with depression.
Valentin Gaft was born in 1935 in Moscow. His mother was a big fan of theater and instilled in her son a love for this art form. Valentin graduated from the Moscow Art Theater School and tried his hand at several metropolitan theaters. But real success and recognition came to him when he began to appear on the stage of Lenkom. In the cinema, Valentin Iosifovich began to appear in adulthood. At first he was offered cameo roles. Collaboration with director Eldar Ryazanov made Gaft famous. He starred in such films as "Garage", "Say a Word About Poor Hussar", "Forgotten Melody for Flute". Gaft has not only an acting talent, but also has an excellent command of the epistolary genre. He became the author of poignant satirical works dedicated to fellow artists.
Valentin Iosifovich was married twice before meeting Olga. His first wife was actress Alena Izogrina. It was difficult for them to get along together, and as a result, Alena went to another man. The second wife of the actor was the ballerina Inna Eliseeva. She had a very wealthy and influential father who opposed this marriage. Even the birth of a daughter in the family could not melt the heart of a stern father-in-law, and Valentine filed for divorce.
Olga and Valentin Iosifovich got married in 1996. They signed at the hospital. Gaft urgently needed a stamp in his passport to receive affordable housing. Ostroumova agreed to become his wife and this marriage turned out to be the happiest for her. Spouses treat each other with respect and understanding.
In 2018, rumors appeared about the divorce of Ostroumova and Gaft. Olga was even accused of beating her husband, but this information was not confirmed. The couple are still together, although people from their entourage claim that celebrity relationships are in crisis.
