Renat Ibragimov: “I won’t stop at the ninth child! Renat Ibragimov: biography, personal life, family, wife, children - photo of Ibragimov, singer and his girlfriend.

“Yellow Leaves”, “In the Land of Magnolias”, “Old Maple” - these songs seem to be from the distant past.

And their performer, Renat Ibragimov, has no intention of aging at all. Moreover, today he is expecting the birth of his ninth child! And thereby dispels rumors that he is allegedly experiencing problems in the male area...

“WHEN I SAW THE LIGHT, MY HEART FROZEN”

It is rare that any artist is happy in one marriage all his life. Let's say Lyudmila Gurchenko was married six times. Alla Pugacheva is in her fifth (and not necessarily her last) marriage. 70-year-old Renat Ibragimov is still far from these star ladies; Svetlana Minnekhanova is his third wife. True, the artist’s chosen one is younger than his children from his previous wives!

Sveta and I have a 40-year difference, but we don’t feel it at all, because we are spiritually close,” Renat smiles. - There is a phrase in the Koran: “To a sinner I will give a sinner, and to a believer I will give a believer.” So it was faith that brought us together.

I performed Hajj (pilgrimage to Mecca, a city in Saudi Arabia, where the main shrine of Islam, the holy Kaaba, is located in the Al-Haram mosque. - Red .), the wife regularly performs namaz (canonical prayer, one of the five pillars of Islam. - Red .). Together we observe all the fasts (fasts. - Red .)».

But Ibragimov met his third wife quite simply.

She came to Moscow, entered the university and, in order to survive, got a job as a waitress in a Chinese restaurant. That’s where we met,” says the artist. - When I saw Svetlana, my heart sank! This 20-year-old girl, so modest and so beautiful, fell into my soul.

He admits that he immediately fell in love with the pretty Sveta. However, he was married then and, as a decent person, decided to tell his wife about his new hobby. But the singer was unable to part ways with his former wife Albina.

"HE BETRAYED OUR LOVE!"

Their family disputes continued for several years - ex-spouses For a long time they could not divide the property or deal with alimony. Albina was getting frustrated talking to reporters:

I can’t believe that my husband exchanged me for someone who is good enough to be his granddaughter. I think this is a real betrayal of our love. We lived together for 25 years, we have two children. There were, of course, disagreements, as in any family, but by and large we lived very happily. Therefore, his novel came as a shock to all our friends. Nobody imagined that this could happen.

It’s interesting that Albina was also once just a mistress for Ibragimov. One day she asked him for an autograph - and that’s how their whirlwind romance began. Although Renat was married and raised two daughters.

I didn’t understand how difficult and painful it is when you are separated from your loved one. If only I knew then how this would come back to haunt me... - Albina later lamented.

By the way, Ibragimov not only married his second wife, but also went through the “nikah” ceremony. During this ceremony, the newlyweds were asked if they agreed to polygamy in their marriage.

I answered “no,” and Renat said that he would never offer this, Albina recalled.

And years later, the deeply religious Ibragimov finally decided to bring him into the house younger wife- the same waitress Sveta from the Chinese restaurant. Of course, Albina was categorically against it. She appealed to common sense, explained that in the Koran, which Renat reads, there are several points that determine when a husband has the right to have a second wife - if the first wife agrees, if she is childless, if the country is at war and there are not enough men... The situation does not meet any of these conditions. As a result, a divorce and a new marriage followed.

“YOU MUST BE FRUIT WHILE YOU HAVE STRENGTH”

From previous relationships Renat Ibragimov has five heirs - Nadezhda, Vera, Sultan, Aya and Atilla. By the way, all of them came to the anniversary concert that their famous father recently gave in the Kremlin. According to the artist, his children reacted normally to the fact that in a few months their 70-year-old father will have a baby again.

This will be the fourth child from his young wife (she has already given him three daughters, whose names are Asylbika, Aisha and Maryam) and the ninth for Ibragimov himself.

We must be fruitful while we have the strength and opportunity,” the singer believes. - It’s strange when there are no children, and not when they are. I think I won’t stop at the ninth child.

Apparently, this is why colleagues call Renat Ibragimov nothing more than a hero father. It is noteworthy that his youngest girl was born... in a bathhouse. Renat and Svetlana completed special courses on independent childbirth, and the singer cut the umbilical cord himself.

For the first time I was present at a birth youngest son. In the maternity ward they even handed me scissors, but psychologically I was not ready for this,” the artist admits. - And during last birth Sveta knelt down, leaned her elbows on the side, I started giving her a back massage, and 10 minutes later Maryasha appeared. Naturally dived straight into the water. I took my daughter in my arms, handed it to Svetlana, she put the baby to her chest... But the umbilical cord cannot be cut right away. In maternity hospitals they do this incorrectly. The umbilical cord must pulsate, because from there food continues to flow to the child... Yes, I’m already a scientist in this matter!

About Renata Ibragimova's childhood, adolescence and youth

The future opera and pop singer was born in the Ukrainian city of Lvov. The child’s parents were ethnic Tatars; in the family, the mother was involved in raising the child - she did not work, she kept house. The boy's father is a career military man; he often went on business trips. When his son was two years old, dad announced to the family that he was being transferred to Kazan for work, and the Ibragimov family moved there.

Renat studied at school No. 6, and at the same time went to a music school (vocal class). In general, his musical talent was noticed earlier, already in kindergarten he sang loudly in the children's choir. Participation in matinees and performances, reading poetry - and now the boy is a real “star”, first in kindergarten, and then at school.

After school, Ibragimov joined the ensemble of the Volga Military District as a singer. With this ensemble he went on tour throughout the country. Having worked in this team for a little while more than a year, the singer decides to “go free,” that is, perform solo.

The beginning of a serious musical career, first experience on the stage

After leaving the ensemble of the Volga Military District, Renat Islamovich wandered for a couple of years (there is no other way to say it) around different stages, took part in small concerts, but despite his obvious talent and beautiful voice, went unnoticed. He decides to continue music education- enters the Kazan Conservatory, from which he graduated in 1973. On the stage of the Tatar Opera and Ballet Theater, where he was assigned after the conservatory, the singer almost immediately begins to perform leading roles. These are the role of Valentin (opera Faust), Eugene Onegin (opera of the same name by Tchaikovsky), the role of Escamillo in Carmen.

He was noticed, people went to the Kazan Opera House to listen to Ibragimov. Further - more: he began to receive invitations to pop concerts. In his native Kazan, the singer became a real “star”: his first fans appeared, he was recognized on the streets.

Young Renat Ibragimov won public recognition not only with his opera roles! Millions of women in the USSR listened to his songs: “Give Women Flowers”, “Give Me Back the Music”, “Waltz Melody”. Renat Islamovich does not hide the fact that the work of Muslim Magomayev had a huge influence on his development as a singer; he often “borrowed” songs from his repertoire and performed them no less talentedly.

The first “official” recognition came in 1974: Ibragimov became a laureate of the All-Union Competition of Pop Artists. He shared first place with Valery Chemodanov. By the way, in the same year, simultaneously with Chemodanov and Ibragimov, the future “prima” performed at the competition Russian show business Alla Pugacheva, she took third place.

A year later, in 1975, Renat Ibragimov came to Sochi for singing competition“Red Carnation”, where it no longer shares first place with anyone, takes it alone with a large “gap” from the rest of the competitors.

Activities on stage and in the world of cinema

These two victories at music competitions opened the path to real success and recognition for Ibragimov, and he was loved by listeners of all age categories. Very young boys and girls, middle-aged and elderly people came to his concerts. It is difficult to name events to which he would not be invited: “Blue Light”, “Morning Mail”, television concerts for major holidays - everywhere he was among the performers.

Renat Ibragimov has a rare talent to perform songs without pathos and pretentious exaltation. No matter what language he sang in: Russian, Ukrainian, Tatar, Italian - tears appeared in people’s eyes, he was so sincere. He can safely be called a “universal” singer: he equally easily and naturally sang (and still sings) gypsy romances, serious opera parts, and popular pop hits.

Another talent of Renat Islamovich is singing patriotic songs. When he sang “Let us bow to those great years,” the entire audience rose to its feet, the intensity of emotions was so strong. That’s why his concerts were always sold out, spectators brought him armfuls of flowers, and fans waited in droves for the object of their admiration after the performance.

still from the film “The Italian Contract” 1993

In the cinema, Ibragimov also successfully “marked his mark” several times. The first experience of screen filming was the film “War Field Romance”, shot in the manner of “Old Songs about the Main Thing” in 1988. The film was released at a not very good time: in the late 90s, films about bandits and girls of easy virtue were held in high esteem, and the film was “removed to a distant shelf” for several years. In 2003, the musical film was shown on the TVC channel, and it turned out that the theme was military and great selection artists are very interesting to the audience.

Five years later, Ibragimov starred in another musical film - the musical “The Italian Contract” (Ibragimov is also a co-producer of this film). And at the same time - filming in the "Blue Light", participation in festive gala programs, performances with solo concerts. The singer also tried himself as a director: he has more than forty music collections to his credit. Abroad in the media he is deservedly called the “Russian Pavarotti”.

Now Renat Islamovich performs less often; he is mainly involved in the management of the Renat Ibragimov Song Theater in Moscow. Music festivals are regularly held on the theater stage, where pop stars and “legend” ensembles perform: “Pesnyary”, “Gems”, Nadezhda Chepraga, Valentina Tolkunova, Mikhail Boyarsky. The Ibragimov Theater, according to its director, directs its activities to strengthening cultural ties between the peoples of the former USSR.

Personal life

Mother and father tried with all their might to raise their son in the spirit of Tatar traditions, to instill in him a love for family and children. They succeeded, but his popularity and bright, charismatic male appearance played a cruel joke on Renat Islamovich. Hundreds, if not thousands of women dreamed of “catching in their nets” a pop star. Ibragimov, by his admission, had huge number novels:

“I walked a lot and sinned, but then I realized my terrible behavior and now I am an ideal family man,” the artist admitted in an interview.

Little is known about Ibragimov’s first wife; her name was Tamara, Renat lived with her for 14 years. Who expected that a teenage girl named Albina, seeing Renat in “Blue Light,” would fall in love and set the goal of becoming the singer’s other half?

Albina’s parents were horrified: a Tatar, 15 years older, a famous conqueror of women’s hearts, this was not the kind of husband they wanted for their daughter! Despite the fierce resistance of her father and mother, the girl marries the artist. To say more: they performed a Muslim ritual called “nikah”. According to the rules of nikah, during the ceremony the bride is asked whether she agrees to the “prospect” of becoming not the only wife of her future husband. Albina refused, and Renat then accepted her decision.

Alas, seducing someone else’s husband can backfire very painfully... After 25 years, Ibragimov told Albina that, as a true Muslim, he could afford two wives, and was going to bring a “new girl” into the house. His wife Renata did not want to come to terms with this; their divorce resulted in many years of mutual reproaches and a long division of acquired property.

Ibragimov officially married Svetlana Minnekhanova in 2009, already having four children (a son and three daughters) from two previous wives. This time the wife turned out to be forty years younger! Svetlana gave her happy life partner five more children. According to Renat, he is happy in his new marriage, there is complete mutual understanding in their family.

“My wife doesn’t go to discos, she is completely immersed in household chores and activities with the children, there is peace and quiet in my soul,” are his words.

The Ibragimovs are raising their children in Muslim traditions; their wife Renata dresses beautifully, but modestly: “Yes, she wears a headscarf, but her face is open. It’s better than covering your face with tons of makeup!” - this is how Ibragimov answers questions about appearance spouses.

According to the singer, after his divorce from Albina, he left her two apartments and all the property in them, taking only the dumbbells.
Now he doesn’t drink or eat pork, although before he “drank immoderately and ate everything” (Renat’s own words).
Ibragimov’s traditional breakfast is porridge with goat’s milk and fresh boiled eggs.
Renat Islamovich's new hobby: he and his wife are engaged in painting.
The artist does not have accounts in any social network, although there are many groups on OK, Instagram and VK where fans follow the singer’s life and work.

By a happy coincidence, the new housing was located in the house where the Ibragimov family had been living for a couple of years. Their whirlwind romance began on the day when the young lady, gathering her strength, asked Renat for an autograph.

It is worth noting that when the musician left his first wife, he left ex-lover all property. For three years, the singer lived in the apartment of Albina’s father and mother, who, by the way, were categorically against their daughter dating a divorced man.

True, as soon as Ibragimov proposed to his chosen one, the mother-in-law and father-in-law changed their anger to mercy, believing that the musician would keep his promise and would love and protect their beloved child until the end of his days.

Renat and Albina did not just sign at the registry office. The lovers held a Muslim wedding ceremony, Nikah, during which the newlyweds are traditionally asked about their consent to a second wife.

Years later, the believer Ibragimov invited the mother of his children to bring another woman into the house. Albina, not ready to share her marital bed with new passion husband, gave the singer a choice: either he stays with her, or after 25 years of marriage they file for divorce. Ibragimov chose the second option.

Childhood and family of Renat Ibragimov

Renat Islamovich Ibragimov was born on November 20, 1947 in the Ukrainian city of Lvov in the family of a Soviet serviceman. His parents were ethnic Tatars, and therefore from the very early years our today's hero was brought up in the bosom of the traditions of his people.

As for music, the boy’s talents began to reveal themselves already in early childhood. Even in kindergarten, he was a soloist at all matinees and holiday performances. He sang, read poetry in front of the public, and therefore very soon became a full-fledged star in his children's group.

Renat Ibragimov's passion for music continued after his family moved back to Tatarstan. Studying in Kazan high school No. 6, Renat Ibragimov participated in all school amateur competitions, and was also one of the best in his music class. In parallel with this, he also studied at a music school, where he studied in the classical vocal department. Thus, our today's hero began to develop his innate talent in very early childhood. However, despite this, he found proper use for it only at the age of twenty, when he joined the song and dance ensemble of the Volga Military District. It was with this group that the young artist began performing and touring for the first time. Renat Ibragimov spent about a year as part of a local musical and artistic troupe (from 1967 to 1968), after which he decided to develop as a solo performer.

A few months after the end of his collaboration with the song and dance ensemble, Renat Ibragimov submitted documents to the Kazan State Conservatory, where he subsequently began improving his talent again.

RENAT IBRAGIMOV - Our city
