The TV presenter has three children - the first was born when Tutta was in a relationship with journalist Zakhar Artemyev, the next two were married to singer Valery Koloskov. He was present at the birth, and he himself expressed such a desire. In general, the journalist believes that it is not worth forcing a man to be nearby during the birth of a child, because he may not be ready to receive such an experience.
Larsen explained that both times her husband was simply nearby and did not take direct part in the process. This kind of support was enough for her. The TV presenter spoke many times in interviews about her experience of partner childbirth, but always emphasized that this issue is individual. This brings some families together, while it can alienate others.

The entrepreneur’s wife, actress Anna Kovalchuk, explained her husband’s presence at the birth in a very unusual way - “it’s safer this way.” In her opinion, a woman simply cannot control anything at such moments, and since the child was long-awaited, she needed someone who was able to adequately respond to what was happening.
Despite the fact that Anna completely trusted the doctor, she still had some doubts that the situation could take an unexpected turn. Otherwise, she would not have decided to have a partner birth, since she considers it unnatural.

Hollywood stars talk about their births
There are few things in a woman's life that she fears more than childbirth. But no matter how hard we try to prepare and insure ourselves, this process goes differently for everyone. Even among stars who can afford any doctors and blades, childbirth is not the same. We have compiled a selection of personal stories about childbirth so that you can see for yourself. How did Hollywood stars give birth?
Jennifer Hudson
The American singer and actress talks about how she recovered from a caesarean section: “Everyone around me told me how it would hurt after childbirth, but I think my pain tolerance is different. Towards the evening after I gave birth to the baby, I said: “Listen, I can’t lie in bed anymore, I need to get up!” So after giving birth I was very active. For me, this pain is comparable to the pain after training a muscle that you have never trained before and it hurts after that.”
Hilary Duff
Hilary Duff was lucky with her birth. Today she recalls the birth of her son Luca like this: “Everything was very simple,” she admits, “the birth began around one in the morning, I calmly packed my bags and after three hours of walking up and down the stairs, I woke up my husband with with the words: “It’s time.” We got into the car and went to the hospital."
Angelina Jolie
“When Shea was born, we were in a small hospital in Africa. I don’t think anyone but us was in this hospital at that moment. It was just a small house and there were three of us in it. We had wonderful doctors and nurses. Everything was very nice and intimate. We had an American doctor with us who had met with a Namibian doctor beforehand and they worked together because I had a caesarean section. He spent several weeks with us. There was only one pediatrician and one anesthesiologist in the city, whom we invited in advance. It was a wonderful experience. It didn't seem sacrificial or very painful to me. I think it was a beautiful miracle that our body is capable of.
Kate Winslet
Kate gave birth to her first daughter from her ex-husband James Threapleton at the age of 25: “I never talked about it. And I actually had a hard time hiding it, but Mia was born by emergency caesarean section. I kept saying that I had a natural birth, because I was very traumatized by the fact that I could not give birth myself. This was a real defeat. All my life I was told that I had beautiful hips that would make childbirth easy. Women often say that if you can handle childbirth, you can handle anything. And I had never given birth, so I felt that in some way I could not join this “community of strong women.”
Megan Fox
“I thought I would be strong and the nurses would say, 'She's a warrior princess. She does not need an epidural. She is gorgeous! We are true fans." But as soon as I got out of the car, I was already screaming and asking for an epidural. I even asked the guards to give me an epidural anesthesia.”
Kate Hudson
Kate remembers her first birth: “The baby was very big. But my hips did not open and my uterus did not dilate. The contractions lasted 2-5 minutes, and I didn’t feel anything. My doctor said I can go home. But it was so difficult because you would have to make your way through the crowd of photographers again. I said I don't want to go through this anymore, let's just do a caesarean. That’s how it all happened.”
Jessica Alba
It's been nine years since Jessica gave birth to her first child. Since then, Jessica has given birth one more time, but she remembers her first birth with warmth: “I didn’t scream, I caught Zen. It was wonderful. Childbirth was more like meditation. I used yogic breathing and was very focused.”
Beyoncé
Three-time mother Beyoncé, even before the birth of her first child, felt very organic in the role of a mother: “I felt like a real mother already in the eighth month and did not think that this feeling would become stronger with the birth of the child. But it happened during labor because I felt a strong connection with the baby. I felt when I had contractions, I imagined that my baby was trying to open, push through a very heavy door. And I imagined how hard my baby was trying and how hard it was for him, that I couldn’t think about my own pain. We talked. I know it sounds crazy, but I felt our connection."
Alyson Hannigan
“I turned to a midwife and a doula. We had a doctor at the birth, but even he said that I would only need him if I needed to move to the hospital, which fortunately did not happen. Home birth isn't the best option for every woman, but it was definitely the best option for me. I have never regretted my decision. I knew that if I had to go to the hospital, I went. But, thank God, everything went well. It was a wonderful experience."
Jennifer Lopez
Emmy and Max, the children of Jennifer and Mark Anthony, were born by caesarean section. Just six months after this, Jennifer began to recover and prepare to return from maternity leave, but immediately after the birth of her children, she was little worried about how her body had changed: “I remember my hanging belly immediately after giving birth. I even laughed then and said to Mark: “Look, baby, isn’t this crazy?” I didn't care, to be honest.
Gisele Budchen
Giselle gave birth to her first child, son Benjamin, at home. Here's how she remembers the experience: “I gave birth in the bathroom. I wanted to be mindful and in the present moment during the birth of my child. I didn't want anything to be injected into me. It didn't hurt me at all. The whole time I was focused on the contractions and the thought that my baby was getting closer and closer to being born.”
Busy Philipps
The Hollywood actress is married to screenwriter Marc Silverstein, with whom they have two daughters. Their first daughter, Birdie, was born in 2008. This is how Busy remembers this birth: “When my doctor took out my daughter’s head and shoulders, she said: “Do you want to deliver your baby yourself? Give us your hands here."
Christina Aguillera
Mother of two Christina Aguilera gave birth both times by Caesarean section, but this decision was especially difficult for her the first time: “I didn’t want any surprises. Honestly, I didn't want any breakups. I've heard so many horror stories from women who had to have an emergency caesarean section. The most difficult decision was to choose the child's birthday. I wanted to leave it to fate, but at the same time I wanted to give birth as soon as possible.”

The second husband of the former vocalist of the Demo group Sasha Zvereva, DJ Dmitry Almazov, was also present at his wife’s birth, which took place at home. According to the singer, considering childbirth not a man’s business is a big mistake, because two people are involved in the process of conceiving a child, which means both should “meet” the baby.
The first two children were born when Sasha Zvereva was in her first marriage. They also took place at home, the husband was present at the birth.
