Sergey Svetlakov: “If a man needs someone else, betrayal cannot be avoided. Sergei Svetlakov went out with his wife for the first time in a long time. Svetlakov got married.

“I heard that we were expecting a child literally while standing in the doorway. Tosya asked: “What are we going to do?” And I already have a suitcase in my hands! And I said: “Let’s think about everything carefully and make a decision,” actor, producer and face of the TNT channel Sergei Svetlakov talks about the changes in his life.

- Sergey, Antonina, you surrounded your wedding and the birth of your son with the strictest secrecy, rarely do any stars manage to do this!

Sergei: But I succeeded, and I am happy that no one exposed this spy detective. My show business colleagues are shocked that I was able to hide everything: Tosya’s pregnancy and Vanya’s birth. I just tried really hard. We avoided hotels and public places, I thought through every trip, checked everything, found it in advance a private house, where no one will interfere, but nearby there will definitely be shops, pharmacies and clinics with good doctors. He did everything himself and didn’t delegate it to anyone. Although we were constantly moving: moving, flying, film sets, work on new projects for the TNT channel. Tosya and Nastya (Sergei’s daughter from his first marriage to Yulia Svetlakova - Ed.) came to filming every day. For example, the same film “Bitter!” This was my emotional rear: I knew that somewhere behind the camera there were several chairs on which my girls, wrapped in blankets, were sitting and drinking tea.

And this made me feel good and calm. Tosya was next to me almost until the birth and was not afraid of anything. She was on a plane when she was nine months pregnant. At the same time, she starred in the film “Ambulance “Moscow - Russia”. Of course, we did not decide to do this thoughtlessly - we kept in touch with doctors, consulted, but they assured: “Everything is fine with you, don’t be afraid!”

- Sergey, did you want a son or did you not care who you and Tosya would have: a girl, a boy?..

When, after the next ultrasound, I found out that a boy would be born, my happiness knew no bounds. After all, it already seemed that there would be no successors to the Svetlakov family: my brother has two girls, I have one. So our family tree was approaching its top, it was time to put a star there and forget about the last name.

- Why did you decide that Tosya should give birth in Latvia?

Sergey: Now Jurmala is my home.

From the early childhood Sergei was very artistic; he could charm even high school girls with his stories and anecdotes.

In addition to his studies, which Seryozha did well, and jokes, Sergey played football and basketball and even managed to become a candidate for master of sports in handball. He saw his future only in sports. But my parents insisted on continuing the “family” profession. Dad was an assistant driver, mom worked in the road department.

Star Trek comedian and actor

At the Ural University of Railways and Communications, the Trade Union Committee organized a KVN team, and thanks to his victory in the “Knight of the Institute” competition, Sergei was appointed captain. The team was called “Barabashki”, Sergei played in it for 2 years and managed to understand that KVN was everything for him. Serious problems began to arise with his studies, but they did not dare to expel the star from the university.

By the time I graduated from university, “Ural dumplings” were booming. Sergey collaborated with the team as an author, and later he was invited to join the team. In 2000, “Ural Dumplings” became the champions of the KVN Major League.

Sergey finally moved to Moscow and began writing scripts for KVN teams along with other talented authors: Garik Martirosyan, Semyon Slepakov, Javid Kurbanov, Arthur Tumasyan, Sergey Ershov. Born from this team Comedy Club.

Great success came to Sergei in 2008 with the broadcast of the First Channel “ProjectorParisHilton”, where Sergei’s colleagues: Alexander Tsekalo, Garik Martirosyan,. The presenters claim that the name did not come from the name of the odious party girl, but from the name of the 17th century Norwegian playwright Pere Schilton. The program received three “Tefi” and is one of the most successful projects of Channel One.

And in September 2009, another improvisational show started on Channel One - “ South Butovo", the main characters of which were Sergei Svetlakov and Dmitry Brekotkin.

The principle of Sergei Svetlakov is “Do less, but do better.” “I do not accept offers to participate in feature films, projects on almost all channels” - Svetlakov completely concentrates on existing projects, in the creation of which he himself takes part.

Personal life of Sergei Svetlakov

While still at the university, Sergei fell in love with his classmate Yulia, she moved with him to Moscow and became his wife. On December 12, 2008, their daughter Nastya was born. In 2012, the couple divorced.

In 2013, Svetlakov married Antonina Chebotareva, who gave birth to his son Ivan.

The famous humorist, screenwriter, producer and showman Sergei Svetlakov, despite his often frivolous stage image in life, is a serious person and a reliable family man. The artist was married twice, and both of his wives have nothing to do with show business.

Marriage of 12 years

Sergei Svetlakov met his first wife, Yulia Voronchikhina, while studying at the Ural State University of Transport, at a disco. The young people dated for three years before Svetlakov proposed to Yulia.

This happened in the elevator. Sergei and Yulia entered the elevator, and the girl heard: “ Either you marry me and we move on, or I leave». « Let's move on", answered Julia.

In order for the family to live separately, Svetlakov’s parents exchanged their three-room apartment, buying a house on the ground and a one-room apartment for the young people.

On weekends, Sergei and Yulia went to their parents to weed, cursing everything in the world, but they had vegetables from their own garden, and Yulia’s parents sent meat. The couple lived a cheerful life, they had some kind of parties every weekend, and as Svetlakov jokes: “ Returning bottles after such parties significantly replenished the family budget».

If for Svetlakov, like many Kven students, studying at the institute was of secondary importance, then Yulia studied well, and upon graduation from the university she was expected successful career in the department. She was supposed to take the position of head of the department, but Moscow was waiting for Sergei. Julia dropped everything and went to pick up her husband.

The first wife of Sergei Svetlakov was brought up in large family, in which the father was the main breadwinner, and the mother was faithful assistant and keeper of the hearth. Julia, without hesitation, took the path of a housewife, although she had ambitious plans for her own career.

According to Sergei Svetlakov, in later life her views on the role of women were at odds with her husband's patriarchal views, which was the subject of controversy. However, be that as it may, throughout the years of marriage, Julia, as befits a faithful wife, remained on the sidelines, supporting her husband in all endeavors and patiently enduring difficulties.

The period of difficulties was short-lived - given Svetlakov’s incredible performance, the family quickly decided housing issue, having purchased an apartment in Krylatskoye, without any loans or mortgages.

In 2008, right on Svetlakov’s birthday, the couple had a daughter, Anastasia, in which Sergei dotes on his soul and does everything so that his family lives comfortably. He spends a lot so that his wife and daughter live outside of Moscow, in the Baltic states, Yalta and other environmentally friendly places. Svetlakov works a lot, buys an apartment for his parents, builds a house for himself on Rublevka, tries to be on time, to take everything from his luck.

Julia goes through life next to her, supporting her husband in everything. And suddenly in 2012 the Svetlakovs divorced. Sergei cannot name any specific reason, but emphasizes that it is not another woman or something else. “It’s just not fate,” he replies laconically.

Interesting notes:

Now Julia is happy in her second marriage with businessman Vladimir Vasiliev. Sergei Svetlakov is personally acquainted with Yulia’s new husband, and has repeatedly crossed paths with him at work. Yulia is raising her daughter Nastya, and also makes her own jewelry under the SVETLAKOVA brand.

Spy story

Sergei Svetlakov met his second wife, Antonina Chebotareva, at the premiere of his film “Stone” in Krasnodar. Antonina then held the position of deputy director of a cinema chain, and her duties included meeting and seeing off distinguished guests.

She also met Svetlakov, who later recalled: the first thing that caught my eye was Antonina's hand. When the girl offered her hand for a handshake, he noticed a mole between the index and thumb, exactly the same as Svetlakov himself. The points formed like yin and yang.

All the way Sergei joked and talked nonsense, which he always does when he likes a girl. During this period, he was still married to Yulia, but they did not live together. For thirteen hours we communicated, talked, and felt incredible closeness. Sergei took Antonina’s phone number, and after leaving they began to call each other and talk for a long time.

Svetlakov tried to invite Antonina to Moscow, but the girl had strict morals, and at the man’s first call she refused to go anywhere. " If you want, come to see me in Krasnodar».

Svetlakov rushed to the girl he liked. She advised him not to bother at the hotel, but invited him to the mountains. In her car, Antonina took him up the mountain serpentine for 210 kilometers, and only by nightfall they reached cottage village, in which Svetlakov forgot about everything.

Punctual, obligatory and reliable Sergei suddenly disappeared from all his business partners for several days. There was no communication in the mountains; the lovers enjoyed each other’s company without outside interference.

Antonina began to come to Moscow often, and young people also went on vacation abroad. One fine day, Sergei simply did not let his beloved go home. They began to live together.

The news of pregnancy came as a surprise to everyone. Adults, he is 35, she is over 30, did not plan a child, but he still appeared. To give birth or not, there was no question for Antonina, she was only afraid that she would have to return to Krasnodar and raise the child alone. However, Sergei immediately proposed to the girl, and the young people got married.

Svetlakov kept his relationships, romance, wedding and birth of his baby a strict secret. No one, not even his closest friends, knew about such dramatic changes in Sergei’s life. They avoided public places and hotels, Sergei planned every trip, checked everything, rented a quiet private house, did everything himself, did not delegate it to anyone. They traveled a lot at that time, and Antonina accompanied him everywhere.

The couple had a boy, Ivan, and Svetlakov is incredibly happy about the appearance of an heir. He completed the house in Jurmala, where his family now permanently resides, for reasons of peace and environmental friendliness. Of course, after his son grows up, he plans to move him to Moscow, but childhood should be calm and healthy, Svetlakov believes. His wife completely agrees with him.

The actor and TV presenter knows how to surprise the public, regularly appearing on screen in new roles. The next TV season is no exception: Svetlakov will present a humorous show where he will show himself from an unexpected side.

IN At the beginning of the year, the television world was shocked by the news: Sergei Svetlakov was leaving the TNT channel, with which he had collaborated for many years, and became the face of STS. The details of his future projects were kept secret, but a priori everyone expected to see something bright and funny. STS lifted the veil of secrecy in July: Svetlakov, together with his colleague Alexander Nezlobin, is relaunching the show “Thank God, you’ve come!”, which previously aired on the channel. On the eve of the first release of the program, scheduled for today, October 26, Sergey met with HELLO!.

Fame came to Sergei Svetlakov after he began playing in KVN as part of the Ural Dumplings team. This was followed by such projects as “Our Russia”, “ProjectorParisHilton”, Comedy Club, “Dancing” and others

When you're in last time did you say the phrase “Thank God you came!”?

When I was recently at the Petrovsky market and wanted to buy nuts, but I waited a long time for the seller. On our show, of course, I say it regularly.

How a new version Is the show different from the previous one?

The scenario is similar: four guests come and act out skits. But the format has changed. If earlier the guests mainly included theater actors, now there are stars from completely different spheres: in one program Vanya Urgant, deputy Milonov, Basta, Alexander Rosenbaum can meet, and in another - Mikhail Boyarsky, rapper Feduk, Fyodor Bondarchuk, Garik Sukachev. The plots are mostly modern: one of the sketches can be a rap battle, another can be a parody of some popular program. In the show, I act as a judge who will stop the madness happening on stage and give it an assessment.

Igor Vernik welcomes the guest of the program - Ivan Urgant

Are you planning to be a strict judge? After all, in a dance show that you judged on another channel, you were considered one of the main good-natured people.

In the new show, I also don’t see the point of being a bitch. ( Laughs.) Our main goal is to allow the guest to open up and improvise to the delight of the audience. Therefore, the symbol of the program is a butterfly, which, on the one hand, personifies intelligence, echoing a bow tie, and on the other, reminds that sometimes it is worth getting out of your cocoon, your comfort zone, and showing yourself in a new role.

In addition to Sergei Svetlakov, who acts as a judge and producer of the show, in the work on “Thank God, you came!” Alexander Nezlobin - creative producer, as well as Igor Vernik - program presenter are taking part

How did viewers perceive your transition from TNT to STS? Have you written angry letters?

They wrote, but not angry, but more pleasant: “How will your favorite shows be without you?” Of course, I also felt some regret when parting with the programs that were part of me. But now I stand on the threshold of another stage. From time to time, creative people just need to do this - try to create something new.

“Now I am on the threshold of the next stage: periodically creative people need to create something new”

Everyone who was my friends remains so. They're just working in a different trench.

Will you invite them to your show?

Of course, we will invite you. True, given the laws that reign in our media space, I don’t think this is possible. I'm trying to work on breaking down these fences, but it's very difficult: many channels are driven by, let's say, the manager's thoughts, not creativity.

Weren't you afraid that when you switched to another channel you wouldn't live up to your expectations?

I am now in a complete upgrade, and if I screw up, it will be very difficult. We do the show at the level of our own feelings, we try our best. STS believes in us, the audience believes in us, but it is impossible to predict the result.

According to the script of the show “Thank God you came!” guest stars participate in improvisations, without knowing in what role they appear before the audience. Selects the winner of the program, the symbol of which is the butterfly, Sergei Svetlakov

The audience really adore you: it is difficult to find an artist who is loved by both the Moscow elite and all the housewives of Pyatigorsk.

What about Policemako? What about Monetochka?

Seriously, is it difficult to live being so popular?

I have adjusted and love my life. I'm not a very public person, I don't go to everything with my family. social events, where free cocktails are poured and photographs are taken for the back pages of publications. We protect our lives as best we can, we have our own routes, people, places. We accept reality as it is.

Do the kids already understand how famous their dad is?

to my youngest son, Maxim, a little more than a year. My son Vanya is five, but so far it seems to him that all adults are doing the same thing as his dad. Our daughter, Nastya, is almost ten - she understands perfectly well why we hide somewhere, behave differently somewhere, don’t go somewhere, but, on the contrary, go somewhere.

Does your daughter study at an elite school?

She studies in a good school - quality is important to us, not elitism. I want children to have a decent education, so that they grow up in the right environment, where there is no permissiveness. My wife and I are very worried - God forbid majorism develops in our children! We don’t allow the idea that they will do something out of pull.

“I have adapted to popularity and love my life, although my family and I are not very public people.”

Did you manage to relax with your family before the new TV season?

Round-the-clock work began in the summer, and before that there was just a break - a transition from one channel to another. We visited Spain, Thailand, Latvia. Then we returned to Moscow: our son went to preschool - this preschool education, and I plunged headlong into a new project.

Does rest help you look like this? You are like Benjamin Button - getting younger every year.

I like this comparison, but the ending of the film is not very good. ( Laughs.) I hope in 20 years I will grace the cover of HELLO!, being a chubby baby weighing 3200 grams. In fact, all a person my age can do is slow down time a little.

Not long ago you posted a photo of yourself on Instagram with a bubble mask on your face. Do you have a personal cosmetologist?

Yes, this is my wife. When we travel, she loves to find interesting means. We bought Korean and Japanese masks in Vladivostok, some products were brought from Thailand. I don’t inject Botox or other things, so I try to prolong my youth at least with natural algae.

"IN this moment I’m in a complete upgrade, I’m working as hard as I can. If I screw up, it will be very difficult."

If we’re not talking about algae, but about “Yolki,” is it true that the final part is coming out this year?

Yes, and, on the one hand, Vanya and I were glad that the story had come to its logical conclusion. But when they filmed the final moment, which was very touching, nostalgia came flooding back. Are we really not going to film again in August in winter clothes? And then, under New Year, won’t my daughter drag me to the movie? "Christmas trees" are already perceived as an integral part of the holiday. Therefore, I don’t even know whether this news is good or not. For me, this is news that must be accepted, understood and forgiven.

What do you cook besides “Yolok”?

Sasha Nezlobin and I have our own studio - "Sverdlovsk", several shows, series, as well as two films are currently in development. But for now we put everything on hold to launch our first creative “child” - “Thank God you came!” So that he goes out into the public, so that every Friday at 22.00 he stands on a stool and performs, and the audience listens to him, applauds and rejoices.

Some actors are constantly offered the role of villains, others are stuck in the role of a heartthrob hero, and others are incomparable in portraying “tough guys”... Russian artist Sergei Svetlakov is able to transform into anyone: a gay phrase-monger, an honest traffic police inspector, “ moth"and even in... an animated tablet. The comedian on the screen looks like an eternally young adventurer, and in real life Sergei is content with the role of a decent family man. Svetlakov’s young *wife, photos* of whom only recently began to appear online, interests fans no less than her star husband. Who is this mysterious woman who managed to dramatically change the showman’s life and biography? Sergei Svetlakov, although he does not like publicity, is ready to shout to the whole world about the love that overflows his heart.

The showman lived with his first wife Yulia Voronchikhina for more than ten years, but never found spiritual harmony and tranquility. Their whirlwind romance broke out in student years within the walls is quite “earthly” educational institution– Ural state university railways, where a novice KVN specialist received the specialty “Economics of railway transport" As a third-year student, the young man proposed to his chosen one. Freshman Voronchikhina became Svetlakov’s wife. At first, Julia was satisfied with her colorful family life. Sergei Svetlakov traveled around the country with the inimitable “Ural dumplings” - his wife obediently followed her beloved.

Real fame came to the talented “idea generator” after the publication of the “Our Russia” project. The cheerful guy never became a railway worker - Sergei Svetlakov was invited to work on Channel One. The family moved to live in the capital. In Moscow, the actor’s wife Yulia was able to realize herself as a realtor. On December 12, 2008 - the artist’s birthday - the Svetlakovs had a daughter, Nastya.

The birth of a child could not unite the couple - the marriage broke up in 2012. Svetlakov always treated his wife and daughter with trepidation, but the actor clearly lacked love in his relationship with his wife. Sergei is sure that there is no one to blame for the destruction of his family - it was simply “not fate.”

Antonina Chebotareva - the second wife of Sergei Svetlakov: a chance for new happiness

After breaking up with his wife, Svetlakov was more than once disappointed in women. The young ladies seemed unreal to him, boring and hypocritical. Until one day, while on business in Krasnodar, he saw bottomless blue eyes... After a series of failures in his personal life and an amorous lull, an adult man was overtaken by love at first sight. Svetlakov came to Krasnodar with the premiere of his film “Stone” - the deputy director of the local cinema chain was supposed to meet him at the airport. The on-screen funnyman had no idea that the work meeting would become fateful for him.

Svetlakov with his new wife

He liked the serious lady Antonina Chebotareva, who holds a high position, at first sight. Our hero immediately began, like a teenager in love, to tell jokes and attract the girl’s attention with jokes. Due to her line of work, the lady repeatedly communicated with the stars - the arrival of “Ivan Dulin” did not mean anything special to her. After several failed relationships the heart of the attractive person seemed to be empty forever.

Sergei Svetlakov and wife Antonina Chebotareva

The showman returned to Moscow as a completely different person – dreamy and inspired. In his thoughts, the master of jokes constantly returned to the beautiful Tosa. One fine day, Svetlakov, putting work on the backburner, rushed to his beloved in Krasnodar. The most responsible and punctual person in the world did not contact his colleagues for several days and did not think at all about filming and television programs. Only Tosya - only romance! The lovers began dating, torn between career and love. One day Svetlakov decided to dot all the i's - he suddenly confessed his love to his passion and moved her to the capital. The actor did not reveal all the secrets of his personal life to anyone. Rumors even began to appear in the press about “Svetly’s” stormy romance with Vera Brezhneva. Svetlakov published the first personal photo of his wife online only in 2016:

Son Vanechka is the main gift to Svetlakov from his beloved wife

The romance between the people of art developed at lightning speed. The couple made no plans - fate decided everything for the lovers. One day, while in a suitcase mood before a work trip, Svetlakov learned from his wife Antonina that he would soon become a dad. The actor was sure that, thanks to contraception, he and Tosya had “everything under control.” The appearance of Vanechka’s son was a grandiose event for the comedian - only girls were stubbornly born in the Svetlakov family. Sergei and Tosya, without living together for even a year, became parents.

Antonina Chebotareva's birth took place in Tallinn - Svetlakov considers Pribalika to be the ideal place for a cozy family life. The couple chose to “give birth” together. In the capital of Estonia, natural childbirth is considered normal - the father’s participation in the happy event is welcome. Obstetricians act calmly and treat women in labor with respect. The young father gladly changed tiny Vanya, lulled him to sleep and bathed him already in the first days of the baby’s life. Proper care Svetlakov learned how to take care of children during his previous marriage. By the way, the actor’s daughter Nastya turned out to be wise and smart beyond her years. She became friends with Aunt Tasya and sincerely fell in love with her brother. Nastya’s mother is not against her daughter’s frequent meetings with her ex-husband and Antonina. He also appeared in her life new man– Svetlakov’s ex-wife often shares personal photos online. “Instead of four unhappy people, there are now four happy, loving and loved ones,” - this is how Svetlakov comments on the events of his stormy personal life.
