New details about the birth of Zhanna Friske. From whom did Zhanna Friske give birth? How Zhanna Friske gave birth

Before meeting with Dmitry Shepelev, Zhanna Friske met a man whom she met at work. The lovers began to live together, but the idyll was interrupted by quarrels due to the fact that the artist's beloved was embarrassed by the fact that her earnings were lower than those of the singer. Her relatives knew about Friske's novel, although the singer herself preferred not to advertise it.

Then Zhanna met Dmitry Shepelev and was literally torn between two men. And even when she started dating Dmitry, she periodically saw her ex-civil husband. Friske did not know which one to prefer from her lovers, she asked her father for advice, but he could not help her in any way. Then Zhanna decided in favor of the showman.

After the break former lover went into business, and successfully, but he failed to find a replacement for the singer. When Friske had a son, he began to doubt if this was his child. However, the man has not yet made a decision to sue, because the boy already considers Shepelev to be dad and it will probably be difficult for him to realize something else.

The former chosen one also does not want to give an interview so that he is not accused of PR in the name of Zhanna Friske. In any case, he will establish the fact of his paternity incognito, and only the judge will know his name, the Komsomolskaya Pravda website competently reports (by the way, the publication knows the identity of the singer's former common-law husband, but he still prefers to hide it).

“We admit that Zhanna could become pregnant from a former common-law husband, but after that she decided to finally break with him. And, having given birth to Plato in America, she herself asked in the maternity hospital to write him down as Shepelev’s father. After all, the ex-boyfriend did not want children, he said that he did not ready to become a father. And Shepelev, according to Zhanna, could become a good dad to an unborn baby. Dmitry himself is recorded as Plato's father in an American maternity hospital solely from Zhanna's words. Russian laws if the child was born in wedlock, the parents are recorded automatically. In other cases, it is necessary to go through the procedure for establishing paternity through the courts, "said the lawyers of the Friske family. Note that the artist's father himself is not sure of Shepelev's paternity.

An independent expert suggested that the open question whether Dmitry is really the father of Plato was raised only in order for the showman to pass a genetic test. "If the test shows that Dmitry Shepelev is not biological father Plato, then he has no rights to the child. And it will be much easier for the Friske family to see their grandson,” explained Alexander Razumovsky, an independent lawyer.

If it turns out that Shepelev is still the father, then he will win a "moral victory" over the Friske family and the issue will be closed once and for all. "I must admit: the step with the DNA test is quite risky for the Friske family, because after it it will be more difficult to establish relations with Dmitry. But, apparently, Jeanne's relatives have real reasons for doubt. Otherwise, they would not have raised such a sensitive topic," noted the lawyer.

Zhanna Vladimirovna Friske (Kopylova) - soloist of the group "Brilliant" from 1996 to 2003. From 2003 to 2013 she built a solo career. She starred in the films Night Watch, What Men Talk About, participated in the reality show The Last Hero, and was the host of the Vacation in Mexico project.

Zhanna Friske's childhood

In 1973 took place fateful meeting Zhanna Friske's future parents: Vladimir Friske, an employee of the Moscow House of Arts, ran into Olga Kopylova, a smiling and energetic Cossack woman from the Urals, on one of the capital's streets. Four months after they met, stamps appeared in their passports, indicating the beginning family life. The happy groom took the bride's surname and became Vladimir Kopylov.

A year later, the couple shocked their relatives with good news: Olga Kopylova became pregnant. On July 8, 1974, royal twins were born. The boy and girl were born in the seventh month of pregnancy; Jeanne's brother was found to have a congenital intestinal pathology - he could not survive.

Vladimir was strict with his eldest daughter and did not allow her to waste time: Jeanne was engaged in ballet, sports dancing, rhythmic gymnastics, acrobatics, participated in school plays.

In 1986, the Friske-Kopylov family increased - the second daughter Natasha was born. Despite the 12-year age difference, the sisters became real friends. The younger Kopylova also showed herself as a creative person: she was engaged in singing and dancing.

In the senior class, her father took Jeanne to audition for Mosfilm. The tests were unsuccessful, but Vladimir nevertheless pushed his daughter to shoot commercials about vacuum cleaners and sports equipment.

In 1991, Zhanna graduated from school No. 406 in Perovo and entered the Moscow humanitarian Institute, giving preference to the faculty of journalism. Three years later, the girl left the university without receiving the coveted crust. In search of earnings, she got a job as a secretary in a construction company, and after that she became a teacher of plasticity and choreography.

In 1996, Zhanna Kopylova met producer Andrei Gromov, who at that moment was engaged in the girl's pop project "Brilliant". At that time, the group included Olga Orlova, Polina Iodis and Varvara Koroleva. Andrei knew that Jeanne was a professional dancer, and invited the girl to the position of choreography consultant.

In the same year, the Brilliant released their first solo album, Tam, Only There, and were ready to go on tour in Russia, but before the start of the tour, Varvara announced that she was leaving the group for the sake of family happiness. Soloist Irina Lukyanova took her place, and in May 1997 Grozny proposed introducing a fourth "sequin" - Zhanna.

The girl needed a pseudonym; as a stage name, Zhanna took a sonorous and fairly well-known paternal surname. Despite this step, at first Vladimir was upset by the career choice of his eldest daughter, but when it became clear that the incendiary quartet was just right for Russian stage changed anger to mercy.

Brilliant - "And I kept flying"

Together with Zhanna Friske, "Brilliant" recorded four albums: the disc "Just Dreams" in 1998, two years later - the album "About Love". It was followed by "Over the Four Seas" and "Orange Paradise", which, in fact, was a collection of covers of popular Soviet songs. During the recording of "Orange Paradise", no one remained from the original composition of the "Brilliant": Ksenia Novikova, Anna Semenovich and Yulia Kovalchuk now sang along with Zhanna.

The album became Jeanne's final project as part of the "Brilliant". The reason for leaving was prosaic - the girl realized that she had "outgrown" the girl band period and decided to devote time to her solo career.

Solo career of Zhanna Friske

In October 2005, Zhanna's debut solo album was released, recorded with the participation of Andrei the Terrible and Sergei Kharuta. The disc was modestly called "Zhanna" and consisted of 9 original songs and four remixes. The compositions "La-la-la", "Somewhere in the Summer" and "I'm Flying into the Dark", which were actively rotated on radio and music channels, hit the top of the charts. In 2006, in collaboration with Andrey Gubin, a reissue of the album was released, supplemented by three video clips and a couple of new remixes.

Zhanna Friske - I was

The album remained Jeanne's only solo album, but the termination singing career out of the question: Friske released 17 singles in collaboration with major Russian pop stars: the hit track "Malinki" with the guys from "Disco Crash", "Western" with Tanya Tereshina, "You are near" together with Dzhigan, "Quietly snow falls" with Dmitry Malikov. The last single "Love Wanted" was released in 2015, shortly before the death of the singer.

Zhanna Friske in film and television

In 2003, shortly before leaving the Brilliant, Friske took part in the fourth season of the reality show The Last Hero. After spending several months on a desert island somewhere in South America, the girl steadfastly withstood all the difficulties of wild life, although there were many dangerous episodes, for example, once Nikolai Drozdov accidentally poisoned the participants in the show with poisonous frogs caught by Decl, assuring teammates that with skin removed amphibians will be quite edible. In addition, Zhanna was allergic to exotic plants. Friske reached the final, but lost the title to Yana Volkova. Returning to Moscow, rested and inspired by the new experience, the girl terminated the contract with the group and began working on material for a solo album.

In 2004, Timur Bekmambetov's blockbuster Night Watch, based on the novel of the same name by Sergei Lukyanenko, was released. Although the name of Zhanna's heroine was Alisa Donnikova, it was assumed that the freedom-loving and intelligent witch-singer was Friske herself. In the epic tape, the girl demonstrated the insidious side of her character: while Konstantin Khabensky was trying to remove the curse from the heroine Maria Poroshina, Jeanne convinced the young "other" Yegor to turn to the dark side.

Friske did not stop at a successful acting debut in the Night Watch: in 2005, the continuation of the saga about the confrontation between the Light and the Dark was released. This time, Bekmambetov gave the heroine Zhanna more screen time, forcing the girl to make a choice between the dark lord Zavulon, the character of Viktor Verzhbitsky, and the young vampire Kostya, the hero of Alexei Chadov. The role earned her an MTV award for Best Actress in 2006.

In 2010, fans saw Friske in two films. The first is the psychological drama "Who am I?" featuring Alexander Yatsenko and Sergei Gazarov. Zhanna appears in the memories of Pasha Matveev, who has lost his memory and is suspected of murder. The film was not subjected to sharp criticism, but it also did not receive rave reviews, disappearing without a trace among the number of mediocre films of Klim Shipenko.

But another project - Dmitry Dyachenko's comedy "What Men Talk About", filmed in the road movie genre - grossed $ 12 million at the Russian box office and received hundreds of laudatory reviews. In the center of the plot are the participants of the “I Quartet” (Leonid Barats, Alexander Demidov and others), who decided to spend a real “male” weekend away from the city and family. Friske played herself, and the cameo turned out to be very self-ironic.

"What Men Talk About", a scene with Zhanna Friske

In 2011, Friske became the host of the reality show "Vacation in Mexico", however, due to the heavy workload, she refused to participate in the second season of the project, transferring the post to the ex-participant of "House-2" Alena Vodonaeva.

Personal life of Zhanna Friske

The personal life of the singer has always been interested in Russian and foreign tabloids. Over the years of her career, she was credited with a relationship with the leader of the Inveterate Scammers group Sergey Amoralov, Hi-Fi soloist Mitya Fomin. There was gossip that she had no professional relationship with Dmitry Nagiyev. However, there was never any official confirmation from Friske herself, or at least from the ubiquitous paparazzi.

At the beginning of her career, the singer met with entrepreneur Ilya Mitelman, who often acted as a sponsor of the girl's projects, but it never came to a wedding.

In 2006, Zhanna began an affair with hockey player Alexander Ovechkin, but her partner chose to get carried away by another "ex-brilliant", Ksenia Novikova.

Zhanna Friske and Dmitry Shepelev: a love story

Since August 2011, the media began to "woo" Friske with Dmitry Shepelev. For some time, Zhanna denied relations with the TV presenter, and Shepelev allegedly found civil wife, living in Kyiv, so the majority agreed that this whole story is nothing more than a well-thought-out PR of the singer's marketers.

In January 2012, the paparazzi caught them during joint recreation in Miami, the unsuspecting stars unequivocally showed feelings for each other. Then there was a story with a SPA-salon, where the couple went on May Day holidays with a “program for two”.

When the long-awaited first-born was born to the 38-year-old singer in April 2013, she had to confirm that Shepelev was indeed the father of the child and her lover. Happy parents and the boy, who was named Plato, spent several months in Miami, and upon returning to Moscow, they began to plan a wedding.

However, the ceremony was not destined to take place. In January 2014, information appeared in the media that the star was terminally ill. Many considered the news a blasphemous "newspaper duck", but soon the singer's relatives and partner confirmed the terrible diagnosis - glioblastoma, an inoperable brain cancer of the fourth degree. Jeanne found out about the disease during her pregnancy, but refused chemotherapy because of the fear of losing the child. After giving birth, she was tormented by headaches for a long time, but the singer hid a terrible illness from her family and the press for several months.

Death of Zhanna Friske

For almost two years Zhanna fought cancer in the best clinics in the USA and Germany. At some point, the fans had the impression that the star was on the mend, but in the spring of 2015 it became clear that there was no chance of salvation.

Zhanna Friske passed away on June 15, 2015. The heartbroken father was the first to report this: “Jeanne died, it's true. It happened on June 15 at ten o'clock in the evening.

Zhanna Friske was buried at the Nikolo-Arkhangelsk cemetery. Dmitry Shepelev forbade anyone from the press to be allowed to attend the funeral. The funds raised for the treatment of Zhanna Friske with the help of Channel One went to the treatment of children with cancer. The son of Jeanne Plato stayed with Dmitry Shepelev. Jeanne's parents and sister promised to provide any support to the boy who lost his mother.

Scandal: the Friske family against Dmitry Shepelev

Alas, soon after Zhanna's death, an extremely unpleasant conflict broke out between Shepelev and the Friske family. On the eve of Friske's death, Shepelev took Plato to Bulgaria and stopped communicating with the relatives of his civil wife. For a long time he did not allow Olga and Vladimir Kopylov to see their grandson. In turn, Zhanna's parents and close friends accused Dmitry of speculating on Friske's name: he sold her latest photographs to yellow publications, had illegal access to her accounts, and seriously “attached” to the amount that the whole country collected for the singer for treatment. Father Friske was especially zealous - up to public threats of murder.

With the help of the guardianship authorities, the Kopylovs obtained permission to meet with Plato, but the baby's father was not going to give up his position. He still didn't let his grandparents visit their grandson. In December 2015, Shepelev stated that Kopylov attacked him with a group of anonymous individuals in order to steal Plato. Vladimir accused the presenter of playing in public and stated that he was only trying to see the boy and that there was no attack. After that, Dmitry publicly stated that the grandfather of the child was mentally ill.

However, when dividing Jeanne's inheritance, the conflicting parties managed to reach a consensus. Relatives received the Moscow apartment of the deceased, and Shepelev, as a guardian, got Vacation home. However, the scandal was overgrown with new details, threatening to mix the name of the Friske-Kopylov family with mud. Rusfond, which oversaw the collection of money for Friske, demanded a detailed report on the funds spent. It soon became clear that 21 million rubles had disappeared from Zhanna's account without a trace. Parents and civil spouse nodded at each other, accusing each of his opponents of embezzlement. However, this issue was also resolved when Zhanna's sister, Natalya Kopylova, was able to provide checks with the "disappeared" amount.

As for poor Plato, who became the stumbling block of this whole unpleasant story, he stayed with his dad. He nevertheless saw his grandparents - on May 30, 2016, Jeanne's relatives met the baby for the first time in a long time. It cannot be said that the ice in the relationship between the presenter and his father-in-law has melted, but the beginning of this process has been laid.

Dmitry did a great job so that the death of his mother hit Plato's psyche as little as possible. He answers the boy for any question about his mother, in their house are placed the best photos Jeanne, and handing the baby a gift for the next holiday, Dmitry always says: “My mother and I congratulate you!”. He often takes his son to resorts, strictly controls his leisure and diet, and takes the most Active participation in the life of Plato.

Exactly ten years ago, in mid-June, Zhanna Friske gave an interview to the correspondent of the news agency "Capital" ... She talked about filming in the film "Night Watch", about the project "The Last Hero", in which she was one of the most enduring participants. About travel fashionable outfits, in a word - about the life of a modern woman.

At the very end of the interview, the singer was asked:

Jeanne, what is your craziest dream?

Probably having a baby...

Her dream came true only two years ago - in April 2013. Jeanne gave birth to a son, Plato. And she did everything possible to stay with him as long as possible. After all, shortly after the birth of the child, Jeanne found out that she was sick. Possibly doomed. And only her personal courage, the love of relatives, friends and strangers, but not indifferent people, helped her to endure the test that fell and enjoy motherhood as much as it was released by fate. And maybe even a little more - her common-law husband Dmitry Shepelev said this directly.

"Thank you good people."

On the day of the death of the singer in social networks, they only talked about her - about Jeanne. The first to turn to the people who did not leave Zhanna alone in trouble was her common-law husband Dmitry Shepelev. Here is what he wrote on his social media page on June 16 at 11:00 am:

“We have always said: “Happiness loves silence”. I remain true to these words, because Jeanne remains for me an absolute, pure, unique happiness.

We did not give up and fought to win. They say 2 years is a long time in such a situation. But, of course, for us it is very little.

I know for a fact that we couldn't have done it without you. I want to thank everyone: those who donated money for Zhanna's treatment, prayed for her health, just thought about her, wished her happiness and strength. I want you to know that these two years are largely your merit. Thank you!

I wish health to you and your loved ones. And in the near future I would like to focus on helping those who, like us, do not give up and fight for health and life.”

Dmitry, like all of Zhanna's friends, hoped for a miracle to the last. On the eve of 2015, he wrote: “Personally, my 2014 was like a rollercoaster. To the ride you want to but can't get off. And yet I thank the outgoing year for my son, for my wife, for good people for healthy parents. I don’t like this year for my loneliness and confusion, but I don’t want to talk about bad things. This year will not return, and therefore just being happy: not yesterday, not tomorrow, but here and now - this is probably my main lesson of the outgoing year. Thank you for this. Goodness and magic to everyone in the New Year!

"Jeanne was energized to give it to the public."

On June 16, the well-known TV journalist Sergei Mayorov also made a note on his page on social networks: “For several years Zhanna Friske was my neighbor, she rented a house in our wonderful Krasnovidovo. Modest, friendly, almost imperceptible ... I met her almost every morning when she walked the dog or ran around surrounding forests, fields, slopes. We smiled at each other, waved our hands in greeting, exchanged news and never talked about show business. We both hid outside the city from the hustle and bustle. No business, the territory of our village was free from "machines". When colleagues, for example, Ksenia Sobchak, in various TV shows and in the press, harshly mocked Zhanna, calling her an "elderly singer", and assured the public that Friske deliberately underestimated her age so as not to lose her fans and lose her job, my mother was indignant: "They should have seen this little glorious girl!" All Krasnovidovtsy saw her often: without makeup, and in felt boots, and in torn jeans, and in a T-shirt, and in a modest summer sundress, walking alone along Istra. It seemed that Zhanna was charged with energy in nature, so that later she could give it to her audience! Young, beautiful, stylish and cheerful! And no age! And no gossip about Zhanna in our Krasnovidovo! Even "intrigues, scandals, investigations" Gleb Pyanykh, also a neighbor, bypassed her house: animals do not eat their own kind at the watering hole and during rest hours.

She once performed "Nature has no bad weather". Passing by me, she took the microphone aside and said quietly: "Congratulations on your victory, neighbor! Will we mark her on a morning walk?" And I overslept))). And then Dima Shepelev appeared. And they began to walk together, already with two dogs. Zhanna told me about Dima when we met on the set of the film "New Year's Matchmakers." Zhanna played myself, I am the director of the Kuchugur store... And then I saw Dmitry alone with two dogs: Zhanna flew either on tour or to the doctors ....

She deliberately chose the life of a child, thereby shortening her life. I didn’t listen to doctors, because I loved and wanted to become a mother! ..

Today I woke up from the sound of heavy rain, and read in the news feeds that Zhanna Friske was gone ... Nature is crying and our Krasnovidovo is crying ... ".

At the age of 40, after a long struggle with a terrible disease, the famous singer, wife and mother, Zhanna Friske, passed away. Her death has become, perhaps, the most discussed topic in the domestic media. The public is trying to understand why Zhanna Friske died and how it happened. Every day after the death of the singer, this event was overgrown with new, sometimes even scandalous facts.

For admirers, this woman was an object of admiration, and for her family - loving mother and wife. Of course, after the death of the artist remained whole line various questions.

At the time of death, next to the artist was her father, mother, friend and colleague, as well as Native sister Natalia. The husband and son of the singer at that moment were abroad.

Causes of death

The question of why Zhanna Friske died is still relevant. In fact, there is nothing criminal in the death of the artist. The singer died due to a brain tumor, which was discovered 2 years before the terrible event. Back in early 2014, in one of his interviews, Jeanne's civil husband, Dmitry Shepelev, told the press about the disease that his wife had after giving birth. Friske found out about her illness in the fall of 2013, after which she immediately began treatment.

After information about an inoperable tumor diagnosed in Jeanne surfaced in the media, Channel One announced a fundraiser for therapy. In just a few days, 68 million rubles were raised. This money turned out to be even a lot - the singer personally transferred the remaining funds to children suffering from oncology. The money raised allowed Friska to travel to the US and China for treatment. Upon returning to her homeland, Zhanna left for the Baltic states, where she underwent a rehabilitation course.

After recovering, Friske began to see again, got rid of the extra pounds gained during chemotherapy, and even got up from wheelchair.

Relatives knew about the impending disaster a few days before Zhanna's death - doctors from China who came to visit the artist warned about this. AT last days the singer suffered from high temperature and incredible severe pain who were hard to bear. Before her death, Friske stopped recognizing her relatives. The tragic event occurred on the night of June 15-16 - Jeanne's breathing stopped.

Information about the death of a celebrity the next morning hit the press. All printed publications published articles in the pages of newspapers and magazines in memory of wonderful person and an excellent artist. Friends and colleagues on the stage considered it their duty to leave messages of condolences for Zhanna's relatives on social networks.

Star biography

The future singer was born on July 8, 1974 in the capital of Russia. At school, she was fond of acrobatics, ballet, rhythmic gymnastics and ballroom dancing. After graduating from school, she entered the faculty of journalism. True, she never completed her studies.

In 1995, well-known producers Shlykov and Grozny organized one of the first domestic women's groups, which was called "Brilliant". At first, Jeanne was the artistic director of the group, and then became a soloist with Irina Lukyanova and Olga Orlova.

Career

In 2003, the future celebrity got into an extreme reality show called "The Last Hero" and reached the very end. Returning to the capital, Jeanne decided to leave the team and start a solo career. In this Frisk was helped by the producer of the group - Andrei the Terrible. The star released her first solo album in 2005 - it featured many songs that later became real hits.

In addition to performing on stage and recording songs, Friske starred in various cinematic works. So, the first project with the participation of Zhanna was the film "Night Watch".

Personal life

A beautiful, sexy, talented artist was credited with many scandalous novels. However, really important men in the life of the singer was not so much. Journalists confidently call a businessman from Chelyabinsk Ilya Mitelman the first boyfriend of Friske. The relationship of the couple continued for several years, and reporters did not stop writing about the upcoming wedding. But, as they say, it didn’t work out - Zhanna and Ilya parted ways.

Jeanne's next relationship began in 2005. This time, the popular hockey player Alexander Ovechkin became the chosen one of the beauty. But this novel did not become successful for Friske either - the athlete was constantly accused of having love affairs on the side.

Then another athlete appeared in the life of the singer - figure skater Vitaly Novikov, with whom Zhanna performed on the show "Ice Age". But this novel did not end with a wedding.

But the relationship with the famous artist Dmitry Shepelev fulfilled Friske's cherished dream: finally, the accomplished singer gave birth to a child. In 2013, Zhanna became a mother - the couple named their son Plato.
