In addition to studying, they played in KVN and school performances, it was Natalya who everyone prophesied a wonderful acting career which apparently did not appeal to her at all.

According to some testimonies, there were many girls around Ivan during his school years, and she and Natalya were not interested in each other. According to others, in high school, Ivan was so in love with his future wife that he made her the first proposal at graduation, but she did not accept him.

The girl already had a fiancé, the son of her father's business partner, and soon after receiving a certificate they got married.

Ivan also soon married, against the wishes of his family, but the marriage fell apart almost immediately.

After that, the host pursued a career, and then for several years he lived in a civil marriage with MTV host Tatyana Gevorkyan, but then Tatyana and he broke up.

As Tatyana told later in an interview, Ivan needed a family, and she wanted to hang out with that light and cheerful boy that the showman was when they met. Friends tried to reconcile them, but to no avail.

Meeting with his future wife Natalia Kiknadze

And then during a trip to St. Petersburg, he accidentally met Natalia. Natalia by that time had already broken up with her husband and raised two children - son Niko and daughter Erica. Having met, the young people talked all evening. And so their relationship began.

Ivan began to look after Natalia, then she went to him in Moscow and Erika moved with her, and Niko preferred to live in his father's family.

The couple hid their relationship so successfully that even Ivan's relatives were amazed to learn that he was not marrying Tatyana Gevorkyan, but Natalya. Some sources say that the grandparents generally learned about the grandson's marriage from the newspapers. Since then, Urgant has continued to hide.

In 2008, the couple had a daughter, Nina, in 2015, another daughter, Valeria.

In 2015, the couple secretly got married in St. Nicholas Cathedral in St. Petersburg. Only the closest relatives attended the ceremony.

Nina goes to school, and everyone also notes that outwardly she is almost a copy of Ivan.

By the way, once she took part in the Evening Urgant program.

But the face of baby Valeria, named after the mother of the host, the fans have not yet been able to see.

Divorce Rumors

Of course, journalists cannot believe in such a love story, and since Ivan and Natalya stubbornly do not give reasons for gossip, they are sucked out of their fingers. For example, they are regularly bred, stating that Natalya is tired of her husband's popularity and employment.

Sometimes it seems to journalists that they were too restrained at the event - and now, information appears in all sources that a cat ran between Ivan and Natalya.

And although Ivan usually does not pay attention to this, once he nevertheless spoke out on his Twitter about this:

“Guys, here in the press there was information about the discord in my family ... Like, everything is bad with the masyas. So here it is! I inform you! The best thing in my life is my beloved wife and family.”

Last year, there were also rumors that Natalya was in a position again, it seemed to journalists that the woman had a tummy in one of the photos.

But so far the composition of the family has remained the same.

In 2018, Ivan began to share family photos on his Instagram more often. So, the fans finally saw the grown daughter Valeria:

The daughter of the popular showman Ivan Urgant, Eric, who will celebrate her majority in August this year, is in love. It seems that everything is serious in the relationship between the girl and her chosen one. Otherwise, the brunette would hardly have dared to talk about young man in the microblog. Erica is known for her restraint, she never makes posts about her personal life and her famous family. But as you can see, the feeling so absorbed the young lady that she is unable to keep her emotions in herself and shares them with subscribers.

"Adore you!" - Erica commented on the picture, in which she is captured in the company of a guy, in English.

In the photo, the girl gently clung to her chosen one, and he hugs her waist. “How beautiful you are, babes”, “Gentle”, “It's so cute,” apparently, acquaintances and friends of the couple express themselves.

Despite her young age, Erica delights fans with her attitude to life. The girl sincerely does not understand how her rich peers can brag about the money that belongs to their parents. “I have a negative attitude towards the concept of “elite”. And I feel sorry for all those 13 year old little girls who are trying to squeeze in by showing off their VALENTINO bags,” Erica wrote on her blog. - I am annoyed by all this "elite". I'm not talking about specific people, no. I'm talking about the concept itself.

It's strange for me to see how they all show off with their bags, yachts, expensive cars, jewelry. And the money is not theirs, but their parents'. What is the point of showing how many PRADA bags you have? I won't love you anymore, I won't like you anymore if you have 30 CELINE bags."

Ivan Andreevich Urgant is a charming brunette, a popular showman, host of entertainment programs on MTV, Russia-1 and Channel One, film and theater actor, multiple TEFI award winner, radio host, musician and traveler.

Childhood

Ivan Urgant is an actor in the third generation. Grandmother, Nina Urgant, starred in several dozen feature films, especially remembered by the audience in the image of Rai from the film "Belarusian Station". Her husband Lev Milinder was awarded the title of Honored Artist of Russia.


The parents of the future actor, Andrey Urgant and Valery Kiselyov, also often appeared on the screens. A year after the birth of Vanya, their civil marriage broke up, the boy stayed with his mother and her new lover, actor Dmitry Ladygin. “Mom, put on borscht - dad is coming!” Urgant joked at the age of 4, although his father had not come for several years.


Ivan inherited from the older Urgants an expressive appearance and a penchant for artistic transformations. Throughout his childhood, the boy watched the performances of his relatives and secretly envied the young actor Fedya Stukov, who starred in the film by Nikita Mikhalkov at the age of seven.


School life helped Vanya to distract from the dream of fame as a film actor. Surrounded by increased attention, the "star" son and grandson had many friends and hobbies. The boy went in for sports and went to a music school, but left time for pranks and antics. The surname "Urgant", of course, influenced the teachers, but often the fidget and upstart Ivan was put out of the class.


It is not known whether the surname influenced the fact that in 1993 Vanya got into the student exchange program and lived in the States for a month and a half, where he polished his English to perfection.

Theatrical career

Question about future profession Vani made up his mind. In 1995, Urgant graduated from the gymnasium at the Russian Museum, after which he immediately entered the second year of the St. last role played the name of the applicant).


The first acting experience was the role of guard number 12 in the play "Macbeth", staged at the Tovstonogov Drama Theater. The young man needed to go on stage only 4 times, but the memories of the first production still forever stuck in his memory. However, Urgant soon gave up the idea of ​​realizing himself in the theatrical field - they paid too little.

creative search

Urgant set off in search of a new craft. At first, he was attracted to the signs of nightclubs, behind which, as he believed, was the key to financial well-being. At first, Vanya served food to visitors, then he entertained the audience with songs in Spanish, and without knowing the language, and then began performing with a nightly show program.


And yet, unsatisfied ambitions haunted Ivan. Parents were worried that their son would start looking for solace in a bottle. But the personal crisis was neutralized by a lucky chance - in 1999 Urgant was called on the radio. For six months, the young man broadcast on St. Petersburg's "Super Radio", not the most popular frequency, where his jokes could hardly be appreciated by anyone except other presenters. This was followed by invitations to other, more well-known radio stations "Russian Radio" and "Hit FM".


TV presenter career

While working on Super Radio, the lively presenter attracted the attention of the Channel Five authorities. Ivan accepted the invitation to host the Petersburg Courier program and for some time told the audience about the everyday life of confectionery factories, travel agencies and woodworking factories.

In June 1999, Anton Komolov and Olga Shelest from MTV announced a casting to search for a co-host of the Cheerful Morning show. Ivan took part in the selection, and as a result, his smile flashed on the air of the youth channel. The newly minted presenter had to move to Moscow.

He recalled that at that time he received about five hundred dollars, which was barely enough to rent a small apartment, but Urgant's television career quickly went uphill: the unhackneyed type of showman was noticed at Ostankino, and the presenter signed a contract with the Rossiya TV channel.


For the first appearance on the federal TV channel, Urgant thanked the project " National artist", which he led jointly with Fekla Tolstaya. At this time, the 26-year-old presenter began to be recognized on the streets. Audience sympathy brought Ivan victory in the nomination "Discovery of the Year-2003".


We can say that Urgant became the new face of "Russia", although he conducted exclusively entertaining programs. At first, Ivan hoped that sooner or later he would be entrusted with a more serious program, but soon he enthusiastically gave himself new profession and no longer looked with envy at the news anchors.


In 2005, Urgant left Russia for Channel One, which seduced the showman with the vacancy of the host of the new Big Premiere show. For almost a year, Ivan, in tandem with his father, entertained the audience with jokes, but due to Andrey Urgant's busy schedule, the show was closed. Urgant Sr. could not attend the shooting, and people fell in love with the duet of father and son.


However, the directors quickly sketched out for Ivan the script for a new, author's show "Spring with Ivan Urgant." In parallel, the shooting of the documentary project "One-story America" ​​took place in collaboration with Vladimir Pozner.


In 2006, the leadership of the First made one of the most unexpected television reshuffles in the history of the channel, appointing Ivan to the place of the permanent host of the Smak program Andrei Makarevich. The audience, outraged at first, very quickly fell in love with the new presenter, and Urgant registered for a long time in the most famous kitchen of Ostankino.


Ivan "screwed up" only once, issuing the phrase on the air: "I chopped the greens like a red commissar of the inhabitants of the Ukrainian village." The joke seemed extremely cruel to the Ukrainians, so in the next issue Urgant made a public apology.

The unpleasant incident did not ruin Urgant's career. The broadcasting grid of Channel One could no longer be imagined without the soft voice of the presenter. One after another, the shows "Circus with the Stars", "Wall to Wall", "Magic World of Disney" followed.


On May 17, 2008, the channel's network was replenished with a new show "ProjectorParisHilton". The four presenters: Sergey Svetlakov, Garik Martirosyan, Alexander Tsekalo and Ivan Urgant, discussed topical stories and commented on fresh quotes from politicians, improvising to the fullest. Many celebrities visited the studio as guests: from Tina Kandelaki to Antonio Banderas, and once Urgant in live kissed Hugh Jackman.

On September 12, 2012, the program aired on last time. Svetlakov and Martirosyan signed a contract with TNT, according to which they lost the right to work on other channels, and Konstantin Ernst did not intend to change the presenters.


In 2008, another program appeared on Channel One with Urgant and Alexander Tsekalo - “ A big difference". She presented a themed set of parody sketches dedicated to a particular celebrity. The object of the parody at that time was sitting in the studio and looking at himself from the side. None of the guests went home offended, because the parodies were performed at a professional level.


In 2012, Urgant became the host of his own show "Evening Urgant". The program consisted of several headings devoted to a variety of topics, from film reviews to songs about the dollar. Some rubrics have been borrowed from "Spotlight" and "Big Difference" and slightly modified. The show aired on international level, for example, over the years of broadcasting, Urgant exchanged hours with Schwarzenegger, together with Ben Stiller, he distributed gifts to children.

Movie roles

In 1996, during the period of "search for himself", Urgant starred in a cameo role in the film "Hard Time". In 1999, there was the role of the main villain in one of the series "Streets of Broken Lanterns" (issue "Mammoth Trap"). Then came a couple of cameos the main role in the film "He, she and I", as well as participation in a series of New Year's films "Yolki". In 2011, Ivan played a friend of Vysotsky in the biopic of Pyotr Buslov and for the first time showed the public the image of the singer Grisha Urgant.

Musician

As a child, Vanya attended children's music school No. 18, which Alexander Rosenbaum and Nikolai Fomenko graduated from at the time, - he studied at the specialty "drums". Later, he independently mastered the skills of playing the recorder, accordion, guitar and piano.


In 1998, Urgant, under the pseudonym Vnuuk, recorded the album "Star" together with Maxim Leonidov from the "Secret" quartet. But the "stars" did not work out, and the album never went on sale. Vanya distributed the entire issued edition to his friends.


In 2011, the presenter resumed his singing activities. For many fans, the Grisha Urgant project was a real surprise. At first it seemed that the poster with a young man, who was distinguished from Ivan Urgant only by the presence of a mustache, was another joke of the famous joker, but everything turned out to be serious. love lyrics, based on a melodic motive, formed into a full-fledged solo album "Estrada", released in 2012.

Personal life of Ivan Urgant

The first time Ivan Urgant married, barely reaching adulthood. Despite the objections of his relatives, he married a 22-year-old girl named Karina Avdeeva. For a year and a half of relationship, the newlyweds realized that they were not yet ready for such serious changes in their lives, and filed for divorce. Karina left the surname Urgant as a memory of her marriage.

Second, civil wife Ivana became Tatyana Gevorkyan. Young people met at the MTV office. Tatyana said that she took pity on the handsome man sitting alone in the camera room and treated him to a chocolate bar. They met for almost five years, rented an apartment together, made plans for the future, but broke up shortly after Ivan's transition to Channel One.


Many assumed that it was Tatiana’s professional envy that caused the breakup, but the girl denied all accusations of this kind, saying that the discord began because of Tatiana’s fear of a serious relationship and personal problems caused by constant stress at work. To top it off, the jealous presenter found out that Ivan was having dinner at a restaurant in the company of a pretty brunette, although he lied to her that he was dating a friend. The girl packed her things and left without saying anything to her lover.

Relations with Gevorkyan did not have time to reach the final point, as Urgant was "married" with actress Emilia Spivak. In 2006 they met on film set film "Tin", and in the same year received the main roles in the film "Three and a Snowflake". According to the plot, a romance flares up between the heroes of Urgant and Spivak. The film crew noted that Emilia flirted with Ivan even after filming.


That evening, Urgant dined not with Emilia, but in the company of Natalia Kiknadze, with whom the presenter was in love at the gymnasium. In the 10th grade, mutual sympathy even arose between teenagers, but after school their paths diverged.

We decided to learn more about Eric and tell you about it.

Biography

Erika was born on August 18, 2000, her mother is Natalya Kiknadze, and father- Georgian businessman Vakhtang Kutalia. Ivan Urgant is formally Erica's stepfather, but the TV presenter great relationship with the girl and Vanya does not make any distinctions in relation to native and adopted children.

Hobby

At the age of five, Erica was engaged in ballet school. Now she is interested in art and architecture, travels often and posts photos from her trips on Instagram.

About the "elite"

15-year-old Erica is a great example for many star kids. The girl does not welcome the fact that her rich peers show off their parents' money and their position. On your page in social network Erika once wrote a post like this:

I have a negative attitude to the concept of "elite". And I feel sorry for all those 13 year old little girls trying to squeeze in by showing off their Valentino bags. All this "elite" irritates me. I'm not talking about specific people, no. I'm talking about the concept itself. It's strange for me to see how they all show off with their bags, yachts, expensive cars, jewelry. And the money is not theirs, but their parents'. What's the point of showing how many Prada bags you own? I won't love you anymore, I won't like you anymore if you have 30 Celine bags. In the "elite" than more money, all the better. The tougher you are. If you are with a hookah, you are cool. "With a kalik for life." What is this nonsense? Do you think smoking/drinking is cool? It looks like they worship money. Money can not buy happiness. Further, all these, in fact, children exhibit OOTD (outfit of the day - "image of the day" - ed.). If you calculate the amount from all this onion, then it will be, well, at least 5 thousand euros. Do you think it's normal to dress so expensive at the age of 13-15? I don't want to offend anyone. It's my personal opinion. Just keep it simple. Instagram photo

For ten years now, Ivan Urgant has been perhaps the most popular character on central television. The female half of the audience of the charismatic TV presenter long time I was interested in the question: who is the wife of Ivan Urgant? No one doubted that it exists - it simply cannot be that such a charming and interesting person did not have a life partner.

The favorite of the public, about which many beauties still sigh, has always preferred to keep quiet about his personal life. The showman famously translated all the questions of journalists about wives and children as a joke.

Karina Urgant - the first wife of Ivan Urgant

Even at school, as eyewitnesses say, crowds of girls ran after Ivan Urgant. Almost immediately after receiving the certificate, the young man hastened to connect his life with Karina Avdeeva, who was four years older than the young spouse. Ivan's chosen one studied at the St. Petersburg University of Culture.

The couple met in the summer, when young Ivan went to rest at a dacha in the village of Gruzino, which was located 30 km near St. Petersburg. During a disco in a country club, the future showman drew attention to bright girl which stood out against the general background. The dacha romance that had begun continued in the city. The couple in love applied to the registry office, barely waiting for Urgant's 18th birthday.

Both the parents of the bride and the parents of the groom were against this marriage. As Ivan's father said, they were embarrassed by the fact that the girl was older than their son.

Of course, the parents were right. Just a few months later family life love passed, and the couple began to experience irritation towards each other.

The divorce went pretty quickly and without mutual claims.

After the divorce, Karina kept her husband's famous surname. In her further biography there were two more marriages. Karina found her third wife on a dating site.

Their civil marriage lasted more than three years. Ivan dreamed of marrying the woman he loved so that they could have real family However, she refused to marry. As Tatyana herself later admitted, she was afraid of the “stamp in her passport”:

Oddly enough, in our relationship I took a masculine position: he really wanted a family, children, and I was afraid of a “stamp in my passport”. Then it seemed to me that marriage would kill romance, turn everything into prose. I felt very good with Vanya, and I was afraid to change anything.

The couple decided to get married after they got their own house.

At the same time, Gevorkyan has a real “park” at work. The woman is very tired, and the doctor prescribes a sedative for her. After taking antidepressants, the common-law wife of Ivan Urgant fell into a state of complete apathy. Family relationships deteriorated. Tatyana tried to provoke Ivan into jealousy by accepting gifts from a wealthy admirer.

Unexpectedly, Tatyana found out that her lover met another woman in a restaurant, informing her that he was having dinner with his partner. Gevorkyan, without explaining anything, simply left the house. Urgant, who did not understand anything, asked Tatyana to return, but she refused.
