Andrei Kobzon: biography and personal life. The children and family of Joseph Kobzon were his main value With whom did the Kobzon family quarrel

There were three marriages, he had only two children. Both children are from the last wife of the famous artist Drizina Ninel Mikhailovna. The eldest son was named Andrei. He was born in 1974. In his numerous interviews, Kobzon has repeatedly said that he had a difficult relationship with children at their young age. Difficulties were associated with the complex and busy tour schedule of the artist. There is a known case when the singer found five diaries of his son at once, full of twos and threes. Unable to stand it, Joseph flared up and told Andrei that he forbade putting his name on such exercise books. This led to a protracted conflict.

A well-known fact is that neither the daughter nor the son of the artist wanted to follow in the footsteps of their illustrious parent. Despite the fact that in the past Andrei was fond of music, she never became the business of his life. Rather, it was an easy hobby. At one time he was a drummer in the Resurrection group, performed together with Andrei Sapunov and Alexei Romanov (musicians of this group). This was followed by a short work in the Moral Code. Despite all this, Andrei graduated from the Musical Institute in Hollywood, in those years his father hoped to arouse in his son a love of music. However, this did not happen, and Andrey was much more attracted to the world of business. He became the head of the Giusto nightclub. He currently owns several restaurants and also works in real estate. The young man has two daughters from his first marriage, and a son from his second. All the time he has from work, he tries to spend with his beloved children.

Joseph Kobzon's daughter Natasha (full name Rappoport-Kobzon Natalya Iosifovna, born in 1976) became an organizer, she is fond of working in the field of public relations. Her family life is well known to the press, she is very prosperous. She has a very warm relationship with her husband and already has four children.

So, at the moment, Joseph Kobzon has two grandchildren (one son, two daughters) and five granddaughters at once. The last grandson was born quite recently (in 2010). And Natalia decided to name him in honor of her grandfather. In English, the name of the child sounds like Joseph, in Russian - Joseph, the full name is Rappoport Alain-Joseph. In addition to the baby, in the family of Natasha Ornella-Maria, Michel, Idel (the first granddaughter, was born in 1999). Andrey's family includes Polina, Anita and Mikhail. This close-knit family always keeps in touch with each other, despite the fact that each member of the family has a busy schedule.

Andrei Kobzon, almost nothing is known about his biography and personal life, except for famous parents. Although many people are probably wondering who the son of the great singer has become, whether he is worthy of being the successor to the legendary family.

boy childhood

Andrei was the first child in the family of Joseph Kobzon and Nelli Mikhailovna, nee Drizina. For the singer, this was already the third marriage, his previous spouses did not give the man children.

The boy grew up hyperactive and hooligan, easily got into fights, could break glass, besides, he was disgusted by everything Soviet, did not like to walk in formation and read slogans, hated school uniforms. At first, the parents did not attach much importance to this, attributing everything to children's pranks.

yandex_ad_1 However, he had no time, his father was engaged in a musical career, and his mother followed her husband everywhere, and even at that time her sister, Natasha, was already born.

Andrey was brought up by Cook's nanny and blood grandmother, but to no avail. It was felt that the boy lacked communication with his father, and he was also very jealous of his parents for his sister. The girl demanded more care for herself, but is it possible to explain this to a teenager, who is also still a small person. The only occupation that brought him pleasure was the lessons at the music school.

adolescence

Somehow, but Kobzon Jr. finished ten years, his parents wanted him to become a diplomat, and only Vladimir Spivakov managed to convince Iosif Davydovich that his son had a talent for music. As a result, the guy graduated from college in America, and later became a drummer in the Sunday group.

But this happened, not thanks to the famous surname, Andrei was selected on an equal basis with other participants, and was accepted solely on the basis of his abilities. Subsequently, the musician, along with the rest of the team, moved to the Moral Code.

The guy is proud that he had the opportunity to work with such musicians as:

When the young man was only 21 years old, he opened his club "Giusto", its regulars were lovers of electronic, dance music. Later, this institution became a nightclub, and it is almost impossible for an ordinary person to get there.

Relationship with father

According to Andrei's recollections, at the age of 3 he was given to understand that the name Kobzon is a brand, and his entire biography and personal life will be viewed under a magnifying glass. By and large, Joseph Davydovich was not involved in raising his son, he did not go to meetings at school, not wanting to blush for his son's bad behavior.

At an older age, his father did not believe in Andrei's musical talent. In addition, they have a different attitude to work, for example, the singer did not understand how it was possible to lie on the beach for a whole month, swim in the ocean and do nothing, while the son, on the contrary, likes to relax in Thailand and indulge in idleness.

There were clashes about business, Iosif Davydovich tried to make adjustments, give instructions, but the young man did not like it, as well as interference in relations with his wives. Kobzon Sr. liked to teach how to work correctly, what to do, so the man preferred to keep the details of his life a secret from his father.

Wives and children

Although Andrei Kobzon does not like to share the details of his biography and personal life, something is still known. With his first future wife, fashion model Ekaterina Polyanskaya, the guy met at a very young age. But then male pride jumped up in him, he must ensure a comfortable existence for his beloved woman, so he went into business. A couple of years later, Kobzon Jr. had already opened his Maxim restaurant and a jewelry store.

yandex_ad_2 The result was a magnificent wedding, and soon the first daughter, Polina, was born to the newlyweds, and after 2 years, Anita was born. However, over time, the feelings of the spouses faded away, and they quietly parted.

After the divorce, the man met the charming Anastasia Tsoi, the girl conquered with her versatility, she managed to work as a fashion model, taught yoga, and also acted in films. Having achieved the location of the beauty, the businessman was in no hurry to tell this news to his father, he was afraid of his reaction to the nationality of the bride.

Only in the last month of pregnancy, Andrei introduced his mom to dad, to his chosen one.

Upon learning that he would have a Korean grandson, the singer was thrown into confusion, but the son's bride turned out to be friendly and well-mannered, and he accepted her as his own daughter. In 2008, Anastasia gave the man a son, Mikhail, however, and after that he was in no hurry to make an official proposal, and for the girl, marital status did not really matter. In the end, they got married, their wedding went quietly and unnoticed, as well as the subsequent divorce.

The couple realized that, apart from their son, nothing connected them anymore, so the separation was painless, but they managed to maintain friendly relations.

Now Andrei Kobzon admits that he is a loner by nature and married solely at the insistence of his parents, however, unexpected turns have already taken place in his biography so many times that it is not surprising if changes take place in his personal life soon.

Iosif Kobzon was married three times, but he has only two children. They were born to the singer by the third wife - Ninel Mikhailovna Drizina. The son and daughter gave Joseph Davydovich two grandchildren and five granddaughters.

When the firstborn was born Andrei, and Kobzon took his wife from the hospital, drove past Vysotsky in a red Peugeot. He got out of the car, congratulated the singer and asked to hold the child. After that, Kobzon joked that now his son would become either a genius or a bandit. But, as the artist himself later stated, neither one nor the other happened.

Born in 1974, Andrei did not differ in exemplary behavior in childhood. Iosif Davydovich talked about how he once found in the house as many as five diaries of his son, filled with deuces and remarks. The singer flared up and severely scolded the boy, forbidding him to put his last name on such diaries.

However, the hooligan antics did not stop. The parents were not up to the guy - the father was on tour all the time, and the mother was busy with her youngest daughter Natasha who was born in 1976. Later, when Natasha grew up, Ninel Mikhailovna began to travel everywhere with her husband, accompanying him on tour. The nanny, of course, tried to instill in the boy the skills of proper communication and etiquette, but success was weak. Andrei was jealous of his mother for Natasha, and his father for the stage, and often did everything out of spite. Grandma and the nanny couldn't do anything about it.

Only in high school did the young man manage to pull himself together and finish school normally. Iosif Kobzon wanted a diplomatic future for his son and sent him to London, but Andrei studied there for only three days.

Guy noticed Vladimir Spivakov, which quickly convinced Joseph Davydovich and Ninel Mikhailovna: Andrei has a talent, he must be taught music! Then the concept was changed: Andrei was sent to Hollywood, where he graduated from the Music Institute.

At first, everything went well for him with music: Andrey played drums for a while in the Voskresenye group, then together with the musicians Andrey Sapunov and Andrey Romanov he moved to the Moral Code team.

And with the onset of the 90s, when new opportunities appeared, the younger Kobzon enthusiastically went into business. His first brainchild was the Giusto club - for adherents of the house music direction. A few years later, Giusto became a closed club for the elite.

At the same time, Andrei opened a jewelry store and a restaurant. I must say that his first wife inspired him to such active work, with whom the guy fell in love at the age of 19. He understood: to start a family, you need to earn money.

Ekaterina became his wife, and in 1999 a daughter was born in the family Pauline, and in 2001 - the second girl, Anita. Iosif Davydovich was very kind to the addition to his son's family, he always tried to pamper his granddaughters with gifts.

However, 10 years after the wedding, the couple separated. Catherine, who worked as a model, adored secular parties, and Andrei always tried to stay away from them, did not like publicity. The divorce went amicably. The granddaughters of Kobzon soon had a stepfather, who was conscientiously engaged in raising girls. However, the girls still continued to love their dad and were looking forward to the next meeting with him.

The second chosen one of Andrey was a Korean Anastasia Tsoi- a girl with very exotic external data and an outstanding inner world. Anastasia practiced yoga, worked as a model and actress. Andrei, who has always taken his romantic relationships very seriously, decided to introduce Nastya to his parents as soon as it became known about her pregnancy.

Iosif Davydovich and Ninel Mikhailovna accepted the new daughter-in-law well, despite some shock in which the news plunged them: Kobzon's grandson will be half Korean! Nastya immediately conquered them with a light cheerful character, kindness and intelligence. The couple had a son in 2008 Michael However, his parents never legalized their relationship. In 2011, they broke up, deciding that they had become strangers to each other.

Currently, Andrei Iosifovich is seriously involved in real estate, more precisely, in the real estate business, and in addition, not so long ago, the son of a famous singer opened two restaurants. All the time free from work, he tries to devote to his three children.

In 2011, Anastasia entered the workshop of Evgeny Kamenkovich and Dmitry Krymov at GITIS, where actors, directors and set designers study together. This year she became the host of the opening ceremony of the XI International Festival of Cinematic Debuts "Spirit of Fire", which is supervised by Sergei Solovyov. Together with Zhenya Borzykh, Yulia Shimolina, Ramune Khodorkaite and Dina Mirboyazova, she is currently playing in the production of Lyudmila Petrushevskaya's play "Tango Square" based on Fassbinder, which premiered on July 7 at the Vs. Meyerhold. This is Nastya's third theatrical work with director Fyodor Pavel-Andreevich.

Anastasia Tsoi

I came to a healthy lifestyle through an unhealthy

On Anastasia:
Dress Orla Kiely (UK Style)

Evgeny Borisovich(Kamenkovich. - Note. ed.) said that I have no future in the Russian theater. Later, however, it turned out that he said this to all the students whom he eventually accepted into his course. Why did I go to him? The thing is, I've never failed an audition. And then I got so nervous, I could not cope with the excitement. Before that, I had been sitting at home for three years, and my acting body was somewhat rusty. So I decided to restore it in the best theater workshop in Moscow.

I really hope continue working in films. In Fedya's performances (Fyodor Pavlov-Andreevich. - Note. ed.) Sergei Alexandrovich Solovyov noticed me and invited me to Khanty-Mansiysk. In his new film, it seems that there is even a small role for me - the sea devil. But even if it doesn't, I still value my friendship with Solovyov very much. And, by the way, devils and monsters often offer me to play, what to do.

To a healthy lifestyle I came through unhealthy when I decided to give birth. A healthy child needs a healthy body. In general, I would like to be young and beautiful as long as possible, and for this you need to limit yourself. I don't eat fast food, I don't eat meat, I don't eat rubber food that has been stored for years. I'm bored ordering home all the greens from the eco-shop. Not exactly to heal, but I can help in some situations - to create a little shamanism. Ayurveda is famous for the fact that they do not give medicines, but prescribe the right diets. I studied it for a while, read all sorts of books, listened to lectures by famous doctors, and even went to a seminar.

I have a friend Sasha Chaynik, he is a great tea culture enthusiast, the founder of the Pu-erh Institute in Moscow. He taught me how to do the tea ceremony correctly and generally got me hooked on this lesson. In GITIS, sometimes you have to brew Chinese tea in a thermos, and it's terrible. But as Elizabeth Taylor in the role of Cleopatra said, on the road you have to limit yourself in everything. However, I always carry a travel tea set with me: I have a small one for short trips and a large one for long ones.

I have a wonderful family. A wonderful, absolutely divine son - a prince, an heir and just a handsome man. He sings well - there is someone. Practices yoga, swimming, English. I love my parents very much: both my mother and the parents of my ex-husband. Mother-in-law Nelli Mikhailovna is a woman with a capital letter, she helps me a lot in life. And the help and support of Joseph Davydovich (Kobzon. - Note. ed.) is generally difficult to overestimate. And the biggest chocolate thanks to my husband. Our relationship has only gotten better since our divorce. He is a wonderful person, very noble, and he is also the best father. I can’t say that the family is delighted with my idea to return to the profession. But they are wise enough people not to interfere with this.

my father in law- Iosif Davydovich is a great man. The recording where he sings the mantra "Om" really exists. We persuaded him. The text was something like this: “Dad, you are a brilliant singer, you sang to all the heads of state, even to Stalin, when you were little, but for some reason you did not sing to God. You know that I do yoga, as does your son, grandson and even your wife. And behind this practice is a philosophy. This is the great Shiva, he patronizes all living people. Please sing a mantra to him. Moreover, this is a maha-mantra, in which there are five sounds, of which, according to Hinduism, the Universe consists. It will be very good for your karma if you turn to this being.”

I love Orthodoxy. I wear a cross, I go to church on holidays, we consecrate Easter cakes with the whole family. My son's favorite holidays are Easter and Christmas. He loves to sing hymns. At the same time, he also sings mantras, and in the synagogue he can pray, and in a Buddhist or Hindu temple. Same as me. Maybe it sounds crazy, but I think that you can pray even here and now. God is one - I am sure of this for sure. All religions exist in order to understand it.

Andrei Iosifovich Kobzon was born in 1974, his mother was the third wife of the singer, Ninel (Nelli) Mikhailovna. Two years later, sister Natalya was born. From school, the guy was actively involved in music, but he did not want to sing in principle - so as not to be compared with his father. Andrei became a good drummer and at one time was the head of the Giusto club (in the 1990s), worked as part of the Resurrection group. However, after some time, Kobzon Jr. hit the restaurant business.

In an interview, Andrey told why he didn’t communicate with his dad for several years and why there won’t be a second Kobzon on stage ...

- Is it hard to bear the name Kobzon?

- I confess, I was not always able to match my last name ... I remember very well the moment when I clearly realized who my father was. I was three years old, and I was guilty of something. Then my dad made it clear to me that Kobzon is not just a surname, using modern slang, it is a brand that he created. Any of my stories is associated personally with him, and I have no right to disgrace him, because I did nothing to make her famous. So already at the age of three, I began to think that my surname was not simple.

- It is a well-known fact that you are not a restaurateur and businessman, but a gifted drummer!

- Nature, of course, did not reward me with talents as generously as dad, but I have a good ear. That was enough to send me to the choir at the age of 4. And that I become his soloist. Although my parents prepared a different fate for me, so I also went to an English school. I studied there for three days! And then Vladimir Spivakov came to our house and spoke harshly with his father: “What are you doing? You're ruining a child's talents! He himself became a musician, but you don’t allow him. ” But dad was not against it, he just did not see any talents in me. In addition, my mother really wanted me to study at an English school and make a career as a diplomat. But after talking with Spivakov, my dad asked me what I want to play. I replied that only on drums. He snickered: “If only it wasn’t a windmill!” - after all, in the musical world they joke about them, they say, they blow their brains out and do not differ in a special mind.

- You and your father developed a difficult relationship in life. Why do you have a conflict?

- A discrepancy in relation to life - it is different with us. If he has an attitude to live life and die at work, then I think that work is needed in order to live, and not life for the sake of work. I appreciate those moments in life when I can afford to be lazy. And it annoys him. For example, he never understood Muslim Magomayev. Quite harshly condemned him for the fact that he allegedly neglected his career. Being a super-famous and talented singer, Magomayev did not tour much. When Muslim was asked why this happens, he honestly answered: “I don’t like to work hard!” And dad even on vacation gave 4 concerts a day! A completely different warehouse - and in this we are different. I like to have a rest in Thailand in winter. And dad does not understand how it is possible to do nothing for a whole month. He decided everything for himself as a child - and he never leaves this rut. And of course, he achieved what he wanted, thanks to his character.

- You probably swear often?

- Not often, but a lot. A couple of times we didn't talk to each other for six months. After all, I also have a difficult character, I am also very uncomfortable, but not as sharp as dad. I can not tell him some kind of complaint, but he will not be silent - he will definitely express it. Still, I am in many ways similar to my mother: she has a distinctive feature - diplomacy. The first time we had a big fight at my 17 years old - I was then of a transitional age, I wanted to prove something. And we didn't talk to him. Not so long ago, he made a remark to me about my business, and we again quarreled to the bone.

- Were there moments in your life when you were in poverty?

- Were. Of course, I did not die of hunger, but I could not afford to buy what I wanted. And in these cases, by coincidence, my father could not help me, since in the first case we were in a quarrel, and the second time he was in a coma (in 2001, during an operation, Iosif Davydovich got blood poisoning and he fell into a coma for 15 days. - Ed.). Then I had to endure a one-on-one confrontation with reality.
