What are the names of the children of Yagudin and Totmyanina. Yagudin Alexey: personal life. What are the plans for the new year
Alexei: Tanya and I are used to living for today, rarely when we plan far ahead. But about the second child, I confess, I often spoke, dreamed that someday we would have another daughter. Tanya answered this: “Give birth again? Never!” I understand. Liza, our eldest, was not easy. Tanya did cesarean section, respectively, for the appearance of a second child, an operation was also required. However, I was sure: time will pass and she will change her mind. Actually, we want three children.
Tatyana: The birth of Lisa is largely my initiative. I started talking about wanting a baby. Perhaps Lesha dreamed of the same thing, but at first he clearly doubted whether it was too early, whether he was ready to take responsibility. And this is not surprising, he was too young, just a boy! At 25-27 years old, you want to enjoy life, and not raise children. Michelle is a different story. Lisa has grown up
and Lesha wanted another daughter. Here I was in no hurry. Not that the birth itself scared me - I experienced a fear of a different order. Lisa was born the same year my mother passed away. I left the hospital in complete confusion: how to live? who will help us? I didn't even want to think about a second child. I have a daughter and it's great! But time passed, our friends and acquaintances had second, third children, and this influenced Lesha. Once he told me: “That's it, we need a second child, period!” I had to combine our work schedules in order to see each other more often. (Laughs.)
Alexei: Yes, at some point I insisted. We were going to give birth in the summer, when there is a pause in the ice projects and the skaters are resting. After all, Tanya skates in a pair with Maxim Marinin, and we had to guess so as not to set Maxim up, not to deprive him of his job. No matter how hard they tried, it didn’t work out in the summer - the daughter was supposed to be born in November. But... Michelle was born two months earlier. Well, well, otherwise what would I do with three Scorpios ?! (Tatyana Totmyanina and eldest daughter, Lisa, according to the sign of the zodiac Scorpio. — Approx. "TN".)
Tatyana: At first, I didn’t want to think about a second child. There is one daughter - and it's great! Photo: Arsen Memetov
Joking aside, preterm labor is a big risk. Did you worry?
Alexei: Of course, I was worried. But in general, I'm always positive. My fellow figure skaters even called me Luck Man, and if, say, we are late for the flight, they say to each other: “Don’t worry, Yagudin is with us, so we’ll make it.” And we really make it. Somehow, I am absolutely sure that everything will turn out the most in the best way. Probably, this inner feeling helped Tanya and me to survive the first, most difficult months of Michelle's life.
Why was the baby born earlier? Tanya, did you work to the last? Little rest?
- On the contrary, already on the 12th week she went on maternity leave: all our projects ended at that time. Enjoyed life, walked, did yoga. There were no signs of complications.
Alexei: Tanya was in France with Lisa (the Yagudins have a house not far from Paris. - Approx. "TN"). And suddenly, in SMS, she tells me that she doesn’t feel well. The question of where to give birth - there or in Moscow - did not even stand, and although the deadline had not yet come, I asked Tanya to urgently fly home. You never know! I met her at Sheremetyevo, and in the evening I went to Sochi for a performance. By the time she got there, she had already been admitted to the hospital. I should be next to her, but in our ice show I have no replacement. I felt completely powerless, I understood that
I can’t influence the situation in any way, so there was only one thing left: to drive bad thoughts and believe that everything will work out. Frankly, I was not aware of how dangerous preterm labor is. And Tanya (what a character!), Having learned from the doctor that urgent hospitalization was required, she got behind the wheel and drove to our country house to feed the dog and attach it somewhere for a while - and only then returned to the hospital.
Before the evening performance, she called me and said that she was being taken to the operating room. I can’t express the emotions with which I skated that evening! That same night I flew to Moscow and immediately went to the hospital.
Alexei: I am very attached to Lizka. When she was little, he took care of her completely. Tanya was afraid: her daughter was so fragile ... Photo: Arsen Memetov
Tatyana: Lesha did not realize the complexity of our situation. Well, I didn’t explain - I didn’t escalate the situation, I wanted him to maintain his characteristic positive. Lesha rushed when Michelle was already born and she was placed in intensive care, as expected premature baby. I myself was in the intensive care unit, I was not allowed to get up, and I asked Lesha to go and take a picture of our girl. Five minutes later, he returned, saying: everything is bad, the child is wrapped in wires from head to toe, all in tubes ... Michelle was connected to an artificial respiration apparatus, and Lesha felt sick there. At the same time, he continued to piously believe that everything would work out, you just need to be patient. He was so happy about the birth of his daughter that almost at every corner he told everyone about it. And I, on the contrary, closed myself: I didn’t want to discuss the health of the child with anyone. Doctors openly said that the condition was serious. As soon as I was allowed to walk, I began to visit the children's department every two to three hours. She asked the nurses: “Well, is she breathing on her own?” - "No, not breathing ..." And so for six days in a row. Doctors are superstitious people: even when they see an improvement, they don’t talk about it, they don’t give hope. When they removed at least one tube from Michelle,
I noticed this and rejoiced, considering it a victory. And then, finally, I come to her, and a young nurse says from the threshold: “Your one is breathing!” I burst into tears ... Lyosha did not know about all this. I sent him photos of Michelle with notes that everything was fine. Well, what could he do to help?
The hope that the terrible was left behind was strengthened on the 11th day, when the child was transferred to the so-called second stage of rehabilitation - weight gain. Even then, anything could happen at any moment. For another three weeks, my daughter was in the clinic under the strict supervision of doctors, and I was discharged and even went on the ice. We took her quietly, without advertising this event. Lesha played "Carmen", after which we went to the hospital at night and brought our daughter home, where every centimeter was disinfected the day before.
Alexey: the other day I turned 36. Finally, I just live, thanking fate for having such a wonderful family. Photo: Arsen Memetov
- Probably, did not leave the child for a minute?
Tatyana: I am a restless mother, but I immediately assigned Michelle to her room. Lesha and I are against children sleeping with their parents in the same bed and not getting off their hands.
Alexei: When we got Lisa, I let her know that no one was going to react to her every squeak. If she - well-fed and clean - burst into tears, we did not approach her. Tanya, of course, was torn, but I just didn’t let her. As a result, we have an independent child, who always knows how to occupy himself. We did the same with Michelle. She lets us sleep at night.
- How did Lisa react to the fact that now she is not alone with her mom and dad?
Tatyana: When we said that she would soon have a brother or sister, she got excited. She followed me with her tail and kept saying: “Maybe
won't show up? Where is the belly? Then she began to torture us with the question of where to settle new baby. Is it in her room? Because where the second nursery is now, there was a guest room.
Alexei: The first time she saw Michelle was in the hospital. She was not allowed into the ward, Liza had to stand behind the glass and watch Tanya feed the baby. At the same time, she anxiously asked me: “Dad, why is mom looking at the baby so tenderly ?!” I tried to explain that this is not an outsider girl, but her Native sister, said: "You will love her too, you will play together, be friends." I understand that this is hard to believe when a sister is the size of a loaf. Lisa suffered from jealousy and fell ill the day we brought Michelle home.
- Even so?!
Tatiana: She lay with her face turned to the wall, she didn't talk to us. She only complained: “I can’t get up, my legs don’t walk, stroke my tummy.” Or offered me to swallow myself ...
Tatiana: When Michelle was born, Lisa was jealous. I had to bring her to her senses. Photo: Arsen Memetov
- Everything is exactly as described in books on child psychology.
Tatyana: Absolutely! Three days later I had to bring my daughter to her senses. Strictly explained that she would have to accept that life goes on, that Michelle is and will not go anywhere. Elizaveta Alekseevna digested this news for a month, gradually getting used to it. Not to say that she was filled with adoration and seeks to kiss her sister or play with her, but she comes up, holds her hands ... However, without much ardor.
How has your second child changed you?
Tatyana: Sometimes I just stand over my daughter's bed and I'm afraid to move away: it seems to me that she will feel bad. Lesha drives: they say, get out of here, she has everything
in order. I can't let anyone near her! Within a week, I fired three nannies - it seemed to me that they were doing everything wrong. Complete schizophrenia! (Laughs.) Now, if we are leaving together, my dad, a doctor by education, helps out, I completely trust him. And when I need to go away alone on business, Lyosha remains with the child. He is a fearless father. He coped with little Lisa better than me: he bathed, and swaddled, and fed. I was afraid to take the child in my arms. It seemed that the girl was so fragile that I would inadvertently break something for her. He does a great job with Michelle too.

- Alexey, what was the most difficult for you in double paternity?
Alexey: Almost nothing, except global control over the movement of relatives around the world. I draw a graph in a notebook, in which the blue squares are Lisa (she spends a decent part of her time in France, where she goes to school), the red ones are Tanya, the green ones are myself. And then there is Michel, Varya (our dog)… Since Tanya and I are busy with different projects, it’s not easy to calculate everything, book tickets clearly. The wife has other concerns. There are also a lot of them: complementary foods, nutrition, vaccinations, Lysine's allergy ... When it turned out that our eldest daughter was covered with a rash from the hair of any animal, things increased. A year before her birth, I gave Tanya a Yorkshire terrier - Varya. Luckily for me, this breed's coat is similar in structure to human hair, and Liza does not react to it. I can't imagine what I would do if it were another breed. I love dogs and have always wanted to have a lot of them. But at the time of my childhood, my mother and I lived in a communal apartment and could not afford it.
— Alexei, are you not afraid that long separations with parents can injure Lisa? After all, she spends a lot of time abroad ...
Alexei: There is no separation as such. We are always next to Lisa, at least in turn - either me or Tanya. Many people ask us why our daughter is studying in another country. Why not? XXI century in the yard! For Tanya and me, a good education is a priority. smart person easier to live. Sport is great, only one in a thousand achieves success in it. Physical education is present in Lisa's life - skiing, swimming, skating - but as an element of recovery. To discourage her desire to do figure skating, he repeated to her from the very early childhood: “It’s cold on the rink, it hurts to fall on the ice, bruises remain. And you are a princess - it’s ugly to walk around with bruises. ” Like
It worked. Continues to ride, but without fanaticism. We are thinking of giving her to rhythmic gymnastics and ballet. Let it develop. When Liza lives in Russia, we send her to her grandmother (my mother) in St. Petersburg for the weekend. There they have their own program: jogging in the morning, the Hermitage, theaters.
Tatyana: In our age of high technology, separation is conditional. For example, when I urgently flew away to give birth, Lisa and I spent three weeks on Skype. We woke up, turned on the screens, had breakfast, talked, I “escorted” her to school (it doesn’t matter that the nanny actually took her there), then I “met”, read books. And so they lived.

How much time do you give your child to play? Or are you downloading in full?
Tatyana: Liza is at school from half past ten in the morning until five in the evening, and at 20:30 she has a lights out. Free time, in my opinion, is enough: three and a half hours. Enough to watch cartoons, read a book.
"Only three hours?" Do you feel sorry for the child?
Tatiana: Don't be sorry. Lesha and I lived in an even tougher schedule, and thanks to the perseverance and perseverance of our mothers, something turned out of us ... It seems to me that Lisa benefits from the fact that on Saturday, on her day off, before sitting down to watch cartoons, she writes in copybooks in Russian and French, reads. And then she tells us what she has read. This is necessary for the formation of correct speech and literacy. At the age of six, she is fluent in two languages. Is it bad?
Alexei: We do not know what will happen next, what will happen to the world in general, but as long as there is an opportunity to expand the horizons of children, and our own, we will do it. Not wanting to be left behind by our daughter, we also sat down to French textbooks. Tanya already understands speech, it is more difficult with me, because I know English well and, when necessary, use it. But a sporting interest arose: I want to show Lisa that dad
not a bastard and will soon catch up with her. I gave myself the intention to learn French this summer. Previously, Russian aristocrats were fluent in several languages. Why not bring back the tradition? But not to the detriment mother tongue. It's terrible when our children studying abroad suddenly start speaking broken Russian.
- Alexei, it was said several times that you dreamed of daughters. Does it happen that a man does not want a son?
Alexey: I am not lying when I say that I am extremely happy and grateful to Tanya for giving me daughters. I would go crazy if a boy was born. Don't ask me why. Don't know! (Laughter.) This is apparently a selfish position: I can't imagine a boy running around this house, a little man.
Tatyana: When I got pregnant for the second time and Lesha and I went for an ultrasound scan, he said: “If it turns out that we have a girl, I will give you a watch.”
Tatyana: For the first time, Lesha did not dream about his daughter as much as he does now. But when we were waiting for Michelle, he even began to panic: “What if the son ?!” We have a house full of boxes with things for the girl. We collected Liza's things, hoping that they would come in handy. And the names of the girls immediately came up with. And there was a problem with men - they didn’t remember a single suitable one.

- Alexei, at the very beginning of your life together with Tanya, everything was not easy. Either you packed your bag and left home, then she ... Two children and finally a stamp in your passport changed your relationship a lot?
Aleksey: We really got used to each other for several years, looked for approaches, tried different variants joint existence. Why I got up and left one day for no reason, I don’t even remember. That was a long time ago. It is absolutely certain that I left just like that, not to someone. It seemed strange to me that everything was too calm and good between us. We moved in several times, then moved out again.
Tatyana: Basically I left. Perhaps because she did not want Lesha to do it first. Thinking about how to behave? what's next? So far, no one has written a book that answers all these questions. And how much easier it would be for everyone.
Alexei: And I had many questions, but there were no answers. But somehow we managed: on April 9 it will be nine years since we have been together.
Tatyana: Children appeared, and there was less time for unnecessary thoughts. We have absolutely no time to sort things out.
- Tanya, now you are more confident in your beloved man?
You can't be sure of anyone, not even yourself. I don’t want to be overly arrogant - they say, I gave birth to two children to Yagudin and now I can do what I want and twist ropes out of him. Of course not. Of course, mentally we have become closer to each other, but this does not mean that we have stopped taking care of relationships, working on them. Even Olympic champions figure skating fall on the ice if they stop training. The same thing happens in family life: you spit on how you look, what you say, in what tone, and ... love passes.
Alexei: And I am one hundred percent sure of my beloved woman, and of myself. It is clear that anything happens in life, but I will say this: I feel very good with Tanya, and I am grateful to fate for having such a wonderful family that we created together with her. I am not a fan of compliments, but why be disingenuous: Tanya is a gorgeous woman, and I am glad that everything is going so well with us. In many ways, this is Tanya's merit. She worked on herself, broke herself, found the strength to change, become softer, learned to evade arguments and so on. Although it is not easy, we have tough characters, otherwise we would not have achieved anything in sports. As a result, Tatiana with whom I started dating nine years ago and whom I have known for twenty years is not at all with me today. But I also tried, I learned to admit mistakes and apologize. As a result, we stopped fighting altogether.
Alexey: Tanya is a gorgeous woman, and I am glad that everything is going so well with us. Much of this is to her credit. She worked on herself, changed, broke herself ... Photo: Arsen Memetov
- Frankly, I was surprised to learn that in February you signed. Why, if everything is fine?
Alexei: So that they no longer ask the question: “Why don’t you get married ?!” Tired of answering! (Laughs.) But seriously, there is no particular reason, everything has its time. Before, it wasn’t that I was against the wedding - I just didn’t see a reason to register a relationship. And now I wanted to. Tanya did the right thing by never raising this topic. Still, I'm really lucky with her! (Laughs.)
- Tanya, do you consider yourself lucky?
Tatyana: Recently I was walking down the street with children. I'm taking a stroller, next to Liza jumping, Varya runs. And such pride took me! I think: “I'm awesome! The mother of two children, while I look great, I have an interesting job, a wonderful husband. What else can you dream of?!” I have never been more proud of anything than my family. Even an Olympic medal. In the end, it was a collective victory. But Lesha and the children are my own. (Laughs.)
Olympic champion skaters Tatyana Totmyanina and Alexei Yagudin prefer to remain non-public people and rarely appear at social events. The couple performs a lot, is engaged in raising children and rarely gives interviews. Recently, information appeared on the network about a split between Tatyana and Alexei, which happened due to Yagudin's connections on the side. The journalists tried to find out the details of the relationship in a pair of skaters and Tatyana admitted that the information about the divorce is a duck that was launched by ill-wishers.
The couple constantly posts on their accounts in social networks touching photos with spending time together. In their interviews, figure skaters often talk about their everyday life and the process of raising their daughters. Their couple is considered one of the strongest, because their union has been holding for more than ten years, and the spouses decided on a stamp in their passport only after much thought and weighing all the pros and cons. Now Tatiana and Alexei are on vacation in their own villa and talk little to reporters. However, any rumors of divorce and quarrels are refuted by both the skaters and their entourage.
Tatyana Totmyanina and Alexei Yagudin are getting divorced: the beginning of the couple's relationship

The proposal took place in one of the nightclubs in Moskva, where a couple in the company of friends celebrated the New Year's holiday. In the morning, the couple decided to once again discuss what had happened the night before, but Alexei still insisted that Tatyana become his wife.
Tatyana Totmyanina and Alexei Yagudin divorce: wedding and birth of children
The wedding took place 10 years after the start of the relationship. The couple in many interviews admits that their environment was often interested in the reason for the delay in the wedding. In response to this, Tatyana often said that formalities in the form of stamps in the passport are alien to real feelings, which can even harm relationships.
The wedding ceremony took place in the city of Krasnoyarsk, where the couple was on tour at that time. As a dress, Totmyanina chose a dark blue outfit. According to her, it was the only dress in her size, which was in the first Moscow boutique that came across. As Tatyana admits, she and her husband did not particularly bother about the wedding, because main goal this sacrament was not “scattering show-offs,” as the skater put it.
While it came to the official wedding, the couple had two children - daughters Lisa and Michelle. Girls, as Aleksey says, grow up very active and curious. They have already decided on a hobby and spend a lot of time with their parents on the ice or swimming in warm water ocean.

Spouses answer questions about breaking up relationships or even divorce with a smile on their faces. Tatyana talks about the fact that there is no place for groundless jealousy or anger in their family. Partners fully trust each other.
Alexei says that the couple spends 24 hours a day together and this helps a lot to maintain harmony within their relationship. Spouses constantly share their thoughts with each other, talk about dreams and discuss films.
After hard working days, the couple prefers to relax in their own villa in the company of their two beautiful daughters. All rumors about a possible divorce are unanimously refuted and such information is called the machinations of ill-wishers.

And then my mother decided to give him to figure skating in order to strengthen his immune system. So, for the first time Yagudin started skating at the age of four.
But for his future career, Yagudin long time treated nonchalantly. He did not even plan to connect his life with figure skating. Since childhood, Lesha dreamed of becoming a driver.

Thus, the biography and personal life of Alexei Yagudin is full of bright events.
Family and children of Alexei Yagudin
Our hero was born and raised in an incomplete family. Alexei Yagudin never saw his father. The fact is that he left almost immediately after the birth of his son in Germany and nothing more was heard about him.
Mother had a lot for the future of her son big influence. It was she who sent him to early age on the skating rink to strengthen his immunity. As a result, a Champion grew out of little Lesha.
Now the skater already has his own family and children. Alexei Yagudin can be considered exemplary family man. Now she has been married to her skating colleague Tatyana Totmianina for several years. The family has two daughters.
For the sake of his family, the athlete is ready for anything. His family comes first. In any case, he tries to devote as much time as possible to his loved ones.
Daughter of Alexei Yagudin - Elizaveta Yagudina
The hero of this article has two children. He first became a father in 2009. The daughter of Alexei Yagudin - Elizaveta Yagudina, was born late autumn. Then the skater was in a civil relationship with Tatyana Totmyanina.
It is known that Alexey and his family lived a little in France. That is why his first daughter is fluent in two languages: Russian and French. In France, Lisa attended a regular Kindergarten and even finished the first grade of a classical school.
Later the family moved to Russia. The girl now goes to a regular Russian school, but continues to study foreign languages in depth.
From childhood, Lisa was active and mobile. Therefore, the parents decided to direct her energy in a, so to speak, peaceful direction. The girl attends the gymnastics and figure skating section.
Of course, it's still too early to talk about the girl's future, but now Lisa has said that she doesn't want to be a figure skater like her parents.
Daughter of Alexei Yagudin - Michel Yagudin
Three years ago, the hero of our article became a father for the second time. The daughter of Alexei Yagudin, Michelle Yagudin, was born, also in civil marriage all with the same woman and ice colleague Tatyana Totmyanina.
The baby has dual citizenship, as she was born in France. It is known that the skater really wanted to be present at the birth, and even agreed on this with the doctor in the maternity ward. But he succeeded, because while his wife was giving birth, he performed at the Carmen ice show, which was held in Sochi.
Michelle is now three years old. Outwardly, the little princess is very similar to her mother. The girl grows up as an inquisitive child. Michelle is also active and smart. She is interested in everything, and her every success is a joy for her parents.
Wife of Alexei Yagudin - Tatyana Totmyanina
It is known that our hero had many novels. This is not surprising, because Alexei Yagudin is a bright, talented athlete. His lovers became girls from his circle of friends, mostly fellow figure skaters. There was also a singer, TV presenter and gymnast.
But soon he found the one that conquered and won his heart forever. This is a skater Olympic champion in pair skating Tatyana Totmyanina.
The wife of Alexei Yagudin, Tatyana Totmyanina, was born in early November 1981 in Perm. At the age of five, she got on the ice for the first time. At first, she competed in single skating, but Tanya did not achieve great success in this area. But, in the late nineties, the athlete met Maxim Marinin. As a result, they began to act together as a couple on ice. Every year they gained their prestige. Often won in various championships. At the beginning of the 2000s, almost all sports publications spoke about the pair of Marinin and Totmyanin.
After 2006, the athletes ended their careers. The reason for this was a microtrauma. Few performed commercially. Tatyana took part in the "Ice Age".
In fact, Alexei Yagudin and Tatyana Totmyanina have known each other since their early youth. But, as you know, the famous skater was very afraid of the responsibility of a serious relationship. Thanks to this, his romances with girls did not last long. The same thing happened with Tatyana. The athlete, being in a relationship with Tanya, met the soloist of the "Factory" and later it became known that Alexei Yagudin and Tatyana Totmyanina broke up.
But still, their profession involved frequent meetings, and soon their hearts burned again. A serious relationship began between them. It all started at a time when Tatyana's mother died in a car accident. Alexey helped the girl with the funeral and lent his shoulder. It can be said that grief brought their hearts closer together.
A little later, the couple had a daughter, who was named Elizabeth. And relatively recently, Tatyana gave her husband and second child - the girl Michelle. All this time, young people were in civil relations. And only in 2016 in February it became known that Alexey and Tatyana officially registered the marriage. The solemn event took place in Krasnoyarsk and was not magnificent. Only close friends were invited to the wedding.
Instagram and Wikipedia Alexei Yagudin
Our hero - famous person. Therefore, it is not surprising that Alexei Yagudin's Instagram and Wikipedia are quite popular queries among Internet users.
Wikipedia presents detailed information about the athlete, his biography, career development. Also here you can see the list of participation of Adeksey in various championships and well-deserved awards.
- Tatyana, Alexey, your daughter Michelle recently turned one year old. How did you celebrate her first birthday?
Tatyana: To be honest, I didn't really get to mention it. We had the final show in Sochi, where we worked for four months on the musical Carmen. And it just coincided with Michelle's birthday, so they celebrated, one might say, on the plane.
- Usually parents say that the first year is the most difficult time. What was the most difficult for you during this period?
Tatyana: The first year was very exciting for us, because Michelle was born two months ahead of schedule. The first month of her life was in doubt: the baby spent 21 days in intensive care, the doctors did not give any guarantees ... Therefore, for us, parents, it was a terrible time.
Alexei: For me, the most difficult thing in the first year of the birth of both daughters was to pull Tanya from the crib when the children were crying (smiles). I think that it is not necessary to run back and forth every minute and try to calm the child. When there are reasons, of course, you need to approach, but constantly worrying and running around to check is wrong. Therefore, it was difficult to keep Tanya from this.
How is Michelle's health now?
Tatyana: Thank God everything is fine now! When she was discharged, she quickly gained weight, and is now developing absolutely normally, according to her age.
Tatyana: The pregnancy went great. Therefore, for us and doctors, this remains a big question - why labor began prematurely and had to give birth urgently.
Were the first and second pregnancies similar? Or was it easier/harder to carry some?
Tatyana: Both times for later dates it was not easy when you become clumsy, you begin to dislike yourself for your appearance. In general, both pregnancies were very different from each other. The first time I was pregnant with Liza, my mother died at the beginning of the year, and throughout my pregnancy I had a misunderstanding of what was happening. Even when we brought Lisa home, I thought: “What should I do now? Who will help me?" The second pregnancy was more conscious. I understood what and how it should be, so I enjoyed this period more.
Why did you decide to give your daughter that name?
Tatyana(laughs): It's better to ask Alexei, he was responsible for choosing a name. There were offers from me, and he was already making his choice. So both the first and the second time the final word was with Alexei.
Alexei: I don't really like purely Russian names. We often travel, and I wanted the name to be not purely Russian, but contain a particle of our country and a bit of something European. Lisa, Elizabeth is also our name, and at the same time Elizabeth (Elizabeth) sounds very beautiful in a European manner. I also wanted something unusual, refined. We had many options, but we settled on the name Michelle.
- Alexei and Tatyana, are you in favor of the fact that the child should sleep with his parents or is it separate?
Tatyana: We are advocates of personal space. We have each child not only their own bed, but also their own room. Everyone has different schedules, so if it happens that the little one is sleeping in the room with us, then I don’t want to disturb her in the evening or in the morning, as she reacts to every movement. Therefore, we believe that everyone should have their own space from the first day of life.
- You said that initially your eldest daughter Lisa did not react very well to the appearance of her sister. How is it now and are you doing something to change her attitude?
Tatyana: Yes, it was a difficult time ... In the first four months, Lisa fell into depression, she walked and said, “Mommy, swallow me, I want to live in your tummy!” She tried in every possible way to attract attention to herself and simply ignored the presence of a new little man in the family, in the house. But now the daughters are having a wonderful time together, playing and cannot live without each other. We are very happy about this, because for parents this is the most wonderful thing that can be.
Lisa now lives in France and goes to school there. Why did you choose this particular country? Do you think that education is better there than in Russia?
Tatyana: It is difficult for me to judge the education system, but I am very impressed that children there have such a carefree childhood, as we once had in the Soviet Union. Without being tied to some material wealth, without competition between children, who came by what car, who has what gadget, and the like. I like that the kids there are just kids. In principle, all the time that Lisa spends in Russia, she always goes to some additional courses. This summer she was engaged in rhythmic gymnastics in the Russian section, so we can say that Lisa is studying both there and here.
- Does Alexei have any parental responsibilities that only he performs?
Tatyana: In our family, there are no duties and divisions at all. Whoever succeeds, he does it. Who has time to cook - cooks, who has time to change a diaper, he changes. We have assistants, but we try our best to manage on our own.
Alexei: I agree with Tanya. There are days when Tanya lets me sleep while she takes care of business. Then, on the contrary, I let her sleep, and I take on some family and work concerns. No one in our family has to do anything. All issues are resolved as they arise. If I need to clean or cook and I have time for that, I do it. Perhaps my main duty as a man and a breadwinner is to make sure that my family lives comfortably: that everyone is healthy, well-fed, dressed and shod.
- You said that a nanny helps you take care of the children. Tell us how long you were looking for a suitable candidate and what were the main requirements?
Tatyana: Yes, we have a nanny. My dad and Lesha's mom also help us a lot. And the nanny has been with us for a long time, more than 5 years, since Liza's infancy. I have very strict requirements, while 15 minutes of communication is enough for me to understand whether a person will remain in the family or not. We chose for a long time, about 10 people, probably, came, and now she was left alone. We have very good relationship and we are very grateful to our nanny for what she does.
Alexei: Yes, we are very grateful for the help to Tanya's dad, my mother and our nanny, but still we try to do everything ourselves to the maximum, to the best of our ability.
- Who in your family is a strict parent, and who is not? If, for example, the eldest daughter plays pranks and does not obey, what do you do?
Tatyana: I am a whip, and our dad is a gingerbread man (smiles). But we try to "blow in one tune." We initially agreed that if mom forbids something, then dad in no case gives a “reverse move”. And vice versa. Therefore, if one of us does not like something about children, we discuss it together so that they do not see, hear, and do not know that mom and dad may have controversial points. In case of disobedience, we try to talk to Lisa. The biggest punishment in our country, as in many families, is the deprivation of cartoons. In general, we try to limit the time spent in front of the TV or behind gadgets. Therefore, if you tell your daughter that for several days she will not watch cartoons at all, then this will be the biggest punishment for her.
Alexei: I try to indulge, of course... Tanya, as a mother and a keeper of the hearth, teaches children to order: she asks them to put away toys or make the bed. And if we play, then we have complete chaos! There are toys, and a dog, and we (smiles). And Tanya tries to keep everything according to the rules, so it seems that she is stricter. Tanya can ask Lisa to make the bed, and my daughter and I jump on it, rage ... And what else can mom say? (Smiling). It turns out that I'm a little softer.
– Many women who have known the joy of motherhood say that having children has radically changed their lives. But not the regime and the pace of life, which, of course, is already becoming different, but it was motherhood that changed them as a person. Tatyana, tell us, what feelings did you have after the birth of your first and second daughters?
Tatyana: I think I have become more calm. There were other thoughts and responsibilities. We are often asked in an interview, “How often do you swear and because of what?” (smiling). And we laugh all the time because we just don't have time for it. With the advent of children, we have less time for some unnecessary thoughts, quarrels and the like. Life has become rich and fulfilling. And the relationship itself has changed better side.
- Alexei, have you changed a lot since the birth of your children?
Alexei: No, I can't say what strong changes have taken place in my life. Although there are, of course, things that change. For example, I drive pretty fast, but if I have children in the car, then everything is completely different. Not because children have to follow the speed limit, but simply, without thinking about it, you automatically do a lot differently.
- You have family traditions and rituals, for example, joint walks on weekends, kissing before going to bed, regular trips somewhere?
Tatyana: We have a completely crazy life because of the work and schedule, so it's quite difficult with the traditions ... Of course, on holidays we try to get together. This is our tradition - to celebrate birthdays with family and New Year. Everything else depends on what part of the world we are in and how fast we can take off. When it appears free time We are always happy to spend it together. We love to just walk. Lisa sometimes goes to the cinema or some amusement park with her dad. I don't really like such entertainment, so they found each other in this (smiles).
Alexei: We never know in advance where we will celebrate which holiday, so we live in the present moment and do not plan anything special. And if we talk about some simple things, then Lisa really likes it when they read books to her at night, and I do it with pleasure. If possible, we all walk together, play with the dog, sometimes go to the cinema and somewhere else. Everything is like everyone else (smiles).
– Soon new year holidays Have you already decided where and how you will celebrate the New Year?
Tatyana: The only thing we know is that it will be Moscow. The rest is too early to guess.
- Alexey, Tatyana, you are playing the main roles in the new New Year's show by Ilya Averbukh "The Nutcracker and the Mouse King." Tell us about who you play? How do you work with Ilya Averbukh?
Alexei: I am the Mouse King, Maxim Marinin is the prince, Tatiana Totmyanina is Marie, and Sochi 2014 Olympic champion Adelina Sotnikova is the bright part of Queen Myshilda. We are very lucky that Ilya Averbukh is not a guest director, but a person who knows us well. We competed in sports together and have been working together for more than 10 years. We do not waste time on the distribution of roles, because he knows each of us very well and immediately understands which role suits who.
In addition to working with our team, Ilya also works with active athletes whose Olympic heights are yet to come. For example, he puts programs on the current European and world champion Evgenia Medvedeva. He takes something from our professional world and brings it to the world of amateur sports. And - on the contrary - working with athletes, he adds some interesting "tricks" to our performances. He is very versatile! He, like us, "grows" in terms of artistry, "grows" as a director, as a producer. And if in 2002, when we finished with amateur sports, they told me that Ilya would stage such performances in the future, I probably would not have believed it. But so many years have passed, and every year his productions become more interesting, spectacular and deep.
The most important thing is that about all the productions of Ilya Averbukh, one can say, they are time-tested. It doesn't matter if it's the Nutcracker children's show or the musical Carmen... His name is always a sign of quality assurance, and we try to maintain this bar. As for, I can say that for children's performances we have special treatment because the child is difficult to deceive. These New Year's performances always imbued with some kind of piercing warmth, because they are created for the most important audience, our little friends.
– Is Lisa already writing letters to Santa Claus?
Tatyana: Yes, he has been writing for two years in a row. This year, she prepared in advance and wrote about her wishes to Santa Claus a long time ago. (smiles).
Alexei Yagudin: Love is not at first sight
In one of the interviews, Alexei admitted that before his romance with Tanya, he rarely took love affairs seriously. He lived freely, easily converged and easily disagreed with the girls, not thinking about the future. In addition, the ice has always stood for him in the first place. And not every woman is ready to be a companion of a man for whom skates are more important than her. However, there was a moment when in his youth Alexei almost made an offer to the figure skater Elena Berezhnaya. She also skated with them on the same rink. I even bought a ring. But he changed his mind. Yagudin does not hide the fact that he is a man of mood, very fickle.
Tatyana and Alexey went their own way for a long time, harvesting the golden harvest on the famous skating rinks of the world. Their paths crossed again after Yagudin and Totmyanina completed the amateur sports career, exchanging pedestals for performances in commercial ice shows. "Matchmaker" for them was the project "Stars on Ice" Ilya Averbukh- exactly there Olympic champions practically met again. And the tour finally brought them together. Both Alexey and Tatyana were free at that moment and were together all the time - they trained, talked, went to cafes, museums. After returning to Moscow, Yagudin offered to live under the same roof. Tatyana did not object.
Alas, living together turned out to be not so rosy, and the "weather in the house" began to deteriorate. At the same time, everything suited Yagudin, he was comfortable with a calm and sincere Tatyana, but she could not come to terms with many of his habits and frivolity. The figure skater did not want to become the next passion of the champion, but dreamed of serious relationship, about family and children, while such a prospect frightened her chosen one. The constant misunderstanding led to the fact that in one of summer days In 2007, Alexei simply packed his things and left. Left alone, Tatyana suddenly realized that she not only became attached to this person, but fell in love with him, and, according to her confession, for the first time in her life she really felt very sick. However, the "Flying Stool" - as Yagudin was often called before for the ability to "jump" out of any position - did not feel any remorse about this. He promised himself that he would not marry before forty, and at the age of 27 he did not even think about children.
Take me back if you can

However, this story unexpectedly had a continuation: Alexei, who had not previously had the habit of clinging to the old, after another stormy romance suddenly realized for himself that he could not live without Totmianina. She is really close to him. And a year later, the skater came with a confession and an offer to be together again. It was very difficult for Tatyana to accept him: it was difficult for her to believe Lesha's assurances that now everything would be different, he had changed. It was especially difficult to believe in the latter, because even after all the oaths, Yagudin did not correct his self-centered behavior.The beginning of the "second series" of their relationship was like a game of catch-up. As soon as Yagudin began to behave as before, Tatiana packed her things and left. Alexei found her and begged her to return, not to leave him again. She came back and everything started all over again. Such shoots occurred several times a month. Relations stabilized only by the beginning of winter, when they realized that it was pointless to try to remake a loved one for themselves - you need to adapt to each other, accept them as they are.
Of course, the woman had to make big concessions, as she was more flexible, but for the sake of their love, Tatyana did not even consider it a sacrifice to need to regularly extinguish minor conflicts and accustom herself to look at life more simply, not being nervous about nonsense like scattered socks. The hardest part was to stop being jealous all the time. But Alexei also found the strength to change his amorous habits. More precisely, one day he himself realized that he had stopped looking at the beautiful girls he met with the eyes of a hunter and trying to add them to his collection - why these love adventures if your beloved is waiting at home?
Losses and gains
Confirmation of the seriousness of Yagudin's intentions was that the skater thought about fatherhood. At the celebration of the New Year 2009, he confessed his feelings to his beloved and said that he wanted a child. By that time, the couple had moved to Alexei's recently purchased Moscow apartment - before that, he did not see the point in acquiring his own housing in the capital with constant travel around the country and the world, and quite calmly managed a rented one.
Alas, at the moment when it seemed that everything was getting better, fate sent them a terrible test - on January 22, Totmyanina's mother got into a car accident. Despite the efforts of the best doctors, she was gone a week later. Like Alexei, Tanya's mother raised her alone and was the closest person to her, so what happened was a shock for the skater. Yagudin was with her almost all the time while his failed mother-in-law was in the hospital - they believed to the last that she would recover ... On January 30, Alexei had to fly to Switzerland to speak at an economic forum, but as soon as the plane landed, he found out that Tanya's mother no more - and immediately took a return ticket.
Gossips, new to the couple, connected Tatyana's pregnancy, which came shortly after those tragic days, with the beginning of their relationship, they say, Yagudin consoled his girlfriend in his usual manner ... But the child was never the reason that tied them together - the baby was expected and loved in advance. Totmyanina perceived her pregnancy as a miracle - having taken one life, the Lord breathed another into her.

Elizaveta Alekseevna Yagudina was born on November 20, 2009 in one of the Moscow maternity hospitals.Tatyana, although she underwent a caesarean section, returned to training two weeks after the baby appeared. After the birth of her daughter, both she and Alexei had to greatly redraw the schedules of their training, performances and tours - so that one of the parents, and not just the grandmother and the nanny, always remained with little Lisa.
Liza, at the age of four, is already learning to skate, which her grandmother gave her. True, this happened against the will of the parents. They did not want to let her on the ice, limit themselves to some kind of general developmental sport for health, and not for victories. They know firsthand how hard it is. Therefore, parents intend to give Lisa a good education, and not to promote her sports career ...
This is not love
Alexey and Tatyana have been living in perfect harmony for more than five years, raising a daughter, running a joint household, but they are not in a hurry to go to the registry office, although they got engaged while still pregnant. When asked when their wedding will take place, they answer: “What’s the point?” A magnificent celebration in order to "walk" White dress they don’t want to, but they can just have fun with friends in their country house without a reason. Moreover, both are convinced that if someone wants to leave, neither the stamp in the passport nor the child will hold him back. And, in which case, there is nothing to share with them - they decided to keep separate budgets from the very beginning, so that there would be no disputes over money in the family, and everyone could feel freer.
Yagudin says that he cannot stand the word "love". For him, love is a blinding bright flash that prevents you from truly seeing the object of your passion. To consider a person, his character to the smallest detail helps only living together, a common life. That is why he always insisted that his girls live with him under the same roof. That is why, after looking closely, they parted. And that is why he does not call his feelings for his wife, albeit not official, love - they are stronger and deeper than love, especially love at first sight. He had time to look at it.
The most famous novels of Yagudin
Although Alexei settled down, his novels are still legendary. They talked, if not about hundreds, then certainly about dozens of girls who had been in his bed. Let's take a look at some of his most famous novels.
Relations with Kyoko Ina lasted three years
With Japanese figure skater Kyoko Ina the relationship lasted three years (from 1998 to 2001) while Alex lived in America. Kyoko came to see him almost every weekend, even visited Yagudin's dacha near St. Petersburg. The parting happened at the initiative of a Japanese woman who met another man. Alexei did not hold her back: she was 7 years older than him, and he understood that it was time for her to think about starting a family. Just not with him.With the world champion rhythmic gymnastics and now a journalist Laysan Utyasheva he dated for six months. Pink roses, cafes, SMS messages at moments of separation - what a 19-year-old girl needed, either in love or simply admiring the brilliant skater. Then 24-year-old Alexei left for America for three months, and the feelings withered by themselves.
With singer Victoria Daineko there was just a PR romance, although ...
But the novel with Victoria Daineko, which was so heatedly discussed by the fans during the first season " ice age in 2007, in fact, there was none at all. Everything was invented by journalists, based on the fact that a couple of artists played love during performances, and then also sang a duet. In any case, Alexei insists on just such a version. In the summer of 2007, he almost proposed to a 19-year-old figure skater. Nastya Gorshkova. Then Ilya Averbukh took the figure skater to the new Sleeping Beauty show. And the couple began to spend a lot of time together. But when you are together for 24 hours, you just get tired ... The novel came to naught. 
But Yagudin had tender feelings for a member of the Fabrika group, Sasha Savelyeva.
Relationship with Sasha Savelva, which happened between the first and second novel with Totmianina, lasted several months. Started with consolations beautiful girl, which flew out at the very beginning from ice show, Yagudin moved on to courtship, and then somehow imperceptibly stayed with her ... He then admitted that "tender feelings for Sasha" woke up in him immediately. But life together, alas, did not work out - as Sasha herself admitted, they turned out to be too different.
