TASS/Samolygo Yuri

She was born in the capital, in a family of soloists of the Bolshoi Theater. Her childhood behind the scenes provided her with a special relationship with ballet: the magic created on stage became commonplace for her. Looking at her parents, the girl understood that ballet was a lot of work and endless exhausting tours, and not magic. As a child, they did not understand that their parents were creating the history of Russian culture, and Maya Mikhailovna Plisetskaya, who dropped in for dinner, living legend. However, Alena also had thoughts of continuing the dynasty - the family discussed the issue of entering a choreographic school. But fate itself decreed otherwise.

Khmelnitskaya’s mother, growing up, decided to continue her career on stage, but in a new role. She tried herself as a director while studying to become a choreographer. One of the performances where Valentina Savina was the assistant director for choreography was the musical “Juno and Avos”. My mother took her 10-year-old daughter with her to the rehearsal.

The backstage of the drama theater became a real discovery for Alena. Immersed in this atmosphere, she could no longer imagine life without the theatrical stage. Her parents assessed her chances of entering the theater school as high, but did not draw hasty conclusions. First we had to finish school - Alena studied at a school with a French bias.

At 12, the young girl was cast in Alexander Belinsky’s film “Carambolina-Caramboletta” and was also able to feel the atmosphere film set. But even then she did not make a final decision. Along with her passion for theater and cinema, she continued to study rhythmic gymnastics and even attended courses at Surikovka.

When Alena turned 15, her parents, who by that time had become respected teachers and choreographers, made an offer to work in London. Reasonably reasoning that their daughter was already quite an adult, they agreed. Therefore, Khmelnitskaya finished school without strict supervision.

Adult


Carambolina-caramboletta (1983)

During the same period, real novels appeared in the life of the grown-up bohemian representative of the capital's golden youth. The first love of the young beauty is called Andrei Dellos, an artist and Moscow restaurateur. According to rumors, after their parents left, they even moved in with Alena and lived in the same apartment. She sincerely fell in love with an impressive man, but he understood perfectly well that Khmalnitskaya was too young and she still had everything ahead of her.

Having met a charming French woman, the young man fell madly in love. Soon he broke up with Alena, and proposed to his new passion and, having signed, the newlyweds left for home country brides

Khmelnitskaya did not grieve for long. The future actress, who often visited her parents in England, began a long-distance relationship with Yegor Konchalovsky, who was studying in the UK. But they too soon ended. Calm and reasonable Alena wanted vivid impressions, so her next chosen one was the young and unknown actor Nikita Dzhigurda.

In the meantime, the time has come to act. Khmelnitskaya passed all the auditions at three universities - the Shchukin School, GITIS and the Moscow Art Theater School. All that remains is to choose which acting school will become her alma mater. I consulted with my parents and friends from the same environment and chose the Moscow Art Theater.

Student


Date House (1991)

Despite the difficult 90s for cinema, the experienced student - at the time of admission she had already starred in three films - was invited to small roles. But the real success was the role of Leoncia Solano in the film “Hearts of Three,” which became truly cult in our country. Of course, Alena instantly became famous.

At that time, she already had the recognition of theatergoers - back in 1990, Khmelnitskaya was invited to play Conchita in the same “Juno and Avos”, which once charmed a very young, dreamy girl, in Lenkom. She remained in the theater until Alena’s daughter was born.

The actress says that she always wanted to become a mother. When she finished school, she probably knew two things: that she would definitely go to theater school and that she would give birth to a child. When, while still at the university, her friend Katya Semenova was the first to get married and have offspring, Alena loved to tinker with the born Nikita and even became his godmother. But for a long time she herself had no idea from whom she would give birth to her baby.

Tigrash


The actress says that her now ex-husband, director Tigran Keosayan, is still affectionately written “Tigrash” in her phone. They remained friends after the divorce, and now they are friends with his second wife. Their marriage, according to the actress, simply outlived its usefulness, and at the time of the official dissolution of the relationship, they had not lived together for a year and a half. But remembering all the years spent together, Khmelnitskaya assures that she would not throw away a single minute from them.

Their romance began calmly. At first they talked and were friends, then suddenly they moved in together. A few months later we went to Alena’s parents in Europe, where they were working at the time. Keosayan beautifully asked for her hand in marriage, they agreed and upon arrival in Moscow, the couple was legally married.

A year later, their first daughter Sasha appeared, and a year later both young parents felt the burden of their chosen profession. The 90s went by, very few films were made, and the theater paid pennies. Khmelnitskaya was even forced to leave Lenkom and try her luck in entrepreneurship - she became the director of a boutique. But it didn’t take long to “spin.”

In 1997, Keosayan filmed “Poor Sasha”, two years later another hit was released - “The President and His Granddaughter”, and later - again an accurate shot - the audience received "Silver Lily of the Valley" with a bang. Money appeared in the family, and Alena returned to the set.

It should be noted that her husband did not star in all films. But the incomparable dramatic Irma performed by Khmelnitskaya in “Silver Lily of the Valley” became one of the favorite almost negative heroines of the early two thousandths. Her next success was Tatyana Panchenko in “Ondine,” and Alice from the lyrical melodrama “The Three Half-Graces” consolidated her success.

She did not act only in 2009, when she and her husband began hosting the program “You and Me,” and for part of that year she was pregnant with her second daughter, Ksyusha. She returned to work immediately after giving birth, already in 2010, and a year and a half later, the social news exploded with the news of the divorce of Khmelnitskaya and Keosayan.

Today


The Joys and Sorrows of the Little Lord (2003)

She admits that at the time of the official separation they no longer lived together. They parted ways without regrets or mutual grievances. Their children do not receive less love and worries than before, and besides, the daughters had a new brother and sister - from Tigran’s second marriage.

Another project in which Khmelnitskaya blossomed again - the musical “Cinderella”, was released in 2016. In it, the actress played the role of a stepmother. Sharing her impressions of this work, the enthusiastic actress whispered to reporters that she wouldn’t trade her stepmother even for Cinderella herself!

At the premiere she was caught for the first time with a new gentleman - businessman Alexander Sinyushin. Alena just smiled in response to tricky questions, however, clarifying that there really is some kind of relationship between her and Alexander. In the spring of 2017, the lovers moved in together, and in the winter of 2018, Khmelnitskaya’s chosen one said that he had managed to establish great relationship with the actress’s youngest daughter Ksenia.

For more than 30 years, Alena Khmelnitskaya has been pleasing viewers with her works, however, the artist herself believes that directors often see in her the image of a lonely and strong woman. During my creative career she tried her hand as a presenter, and also did business, selling fashionable clothes. In her personal life, Alena went through a divorce from her husband, but thanks to her busyness and demand at work, she quickly got over this sad period. For the sake of the children, the screen star got along with her husband’s new wife and is already ready for a new romantic relationship.

Alena was born in 1971 in Moscow. Her parents, ballet dancers, danced on the stage of the Bolshoi Theater. However, the girl herself, having once attended a rehearsal of a new production, fell in love theater stage. After graduating from school, she entered the Moscow Art Theater School-Studio, where she successfully mastered the basics of acting.

Khmelnitskaya’s debut film was the film “The Corral,” in which she starred in 1987. And soon fame came to her: having played the role of the beautiful Leoncia Solano in the adventure film “Hearts of Three,” she captivated television viewers with her bright and talented performance. Now the actress has more than 40 roles under her belt, among which her work in such films and TV series as “The Most Beautiful”, “The Three Half-Graces”, “Mannequin” and many others can be noted.

The aspiring actress was never deprived of the attention of smart and brutal men, but out of all of them she chose director Tigran Keosayan, whom she married in 1993. For several years before the wedding, there were only friendly relations between them, and only then they began to date. A year later, a daughter, Alexandra, was born into the family. The girl did not cause any serious problems for her star mother, and even during the years of transition she remained a smart and serious girl beyond her years. The second daughter Ksenia was born when the actress was already 39 years old. Despite the age difference, the daughters get along with each other and help with everything. 22-year-old Sasha decided to follow in her father’s footsteps and is now studying at the directing department. And Ksenia goes to the pool and plays in the children's theater.

In 2014, changes occurred in Khmelnitskaya’s personal life: after 21 years of marriage, she separated from her husband. As it turned out later, the reason for the divorce was his romantic relationship with Margarita Simonyan, famous editor of the Russia Today channel. After the separation, the former spouses did not stop communicating; on the contrary, their relationship switched to new level and became even better than they were before. Former spouse introduced the children and the actress to his new wife, with whom they quickly became friends.

Alena's life is also getting better, and now she is dating businessman Alexander Sinyushin, who comes to her theatrical performances. The screen star has already introduced him to her family, however, she is in no hurry to force things. Her father and mother have long since settled in Berlin, where they are still in demand.

Alena is a good example and confirmation of the fact that “To live with a general, you must first marry a lieutenant.” Today Tigran is a famous film director and presenter, but then he was the same aspiring actor whom no one knew yet. The couple got married in 1993 and lived together for 21 years. Alas, in 2014 the couple announced that they were getting a divorce. It happens that after many years of life people suddenly realize that they have long been strangers. And this happened in their family. There were no scandals or betrayals, they simply divorced peacefully, and today they maintain good relations.

Alena Khmelnitskaya’s personal life after the divorce also does not stand still. The actress came to one of the social events with her companion, PR director, Pyotr Lidov, but so far the couple only spoke about the fact that they have a strong friendship.

Family of Alena Khmelnitskaya

If Alena had followed in the footsteps of her parents, she would not have become an actress at all. Her mother and father are ballet dancers; they danced on the stage of the Bolshoi Theater all their lives. The girl’s father, Alexander, not only danced himself, but also worked as a choreographer in the theater and choreographed dances for performances. And my mother, Valentina, received a GITIS education and worked as a choreographer. She staged the play, and in 198, fashion shows of Vyacheslav Zaitsev. It was she who staged the play “Juno and Avos”, in which their daughter made her debut, so Alena, with her mother’s support, was able to pass the casting.

Alena Khmelnitskaya's family really wanted their daughter to also become a theater prima, but Alena never liked dancing. As a child, the girl was overweight, embarrassed to wear a nude swimsuit for classes, and did not want to go to dances at all. Today, the actress’s parents live and work in Germany.

Children of Alena Khmelnitskaya

Married to Tigran, Alena gave birth to two children. Tigran is Armenian, and in their family it has always been accepted that the man is the head of the family. Like all women, the actress really wanted to have two children: a boy and a girl. But fate gave this wonderful couple two daughters. The children of Alena Khmelnitskaya are very smart girls, and are already thinking about the future today.

As the actress herself says, after her divorce from her husband, her daughters, of course, were stressed, but the parents did not let the children feel unneeded. Tigran constantly came to talk with the girls, took the girls to his place on weekends, and they had absolutely friendly relations with Alena, so they didn’t see their daughters quarrel or swear.

After training, Sasha received an “IB” diploma, confirming her level of knowledge of English, and after that she left to study in the USA.

The photo shows a happy Alena with a large bouquet of sunflowers, and Ksyusha, who is holding a “1-A” class sign in her hands.

Both of Khmelnitskaya’s daughters are similar to her and Tigran, but if Sasha is still more like her mother, and her Armenian roots are revealed only by her hair color, then Ksyusha is a typically Armenian girl: eyes like olives and curly dark hair. She hasn’t decided yet what the girl wants to become in the future, but she goes to sports clubs and enjoys drawing.
