Personal life

As a schoolboy, Vanya was in love with classmate Natasha Kiknadze, the daughter of a jeweler. But she chose a wealthy businessman at the insistence of her parents, who wanted to increase their fortune, and got married. Ivan was upset, but at his grandmother’s dacha he met a bright girl, Karina, 4 years older than himself, and got married as soon as he turned 18. The family was categorically against the marriage, but the guy, apparently, decided to respond to his beloved’s marriage with such a rash act.
First wife Karina Avdeeva
The young people were flighty and did not particularly think about the ups and downs of family life. But, faced with ordinary everyday difficulties, they quickly lost their love fervor. Lack of money and instability in their new family began to cause irritation and discontent. The couple quietly and peacefully decided to break Hymen's bond. Ivan’s wife kept her husband’s famous surname, and although she later married twice more, she always remained Karina Urgant. The ex-wife now lives abroad and does not maintain a relationship with Ivan.
Civil marriage with Tatyana Gevorkyan
The wives of Ivan Urgant are a whole story, bright and interesting. The affair with the TV presenter lasted several years and was based on friendship and common interests. At first they simply communicated, bumping into each other in the studio, Tatyana then accepted the advances of a wealthy businessman. But a joint trip to Portugal brought the young people closer together, and friendship grew into love. They lived in a civil marriage for more than three years.
Ivan offered to legalize the relationship, but Gevorkyan was afraid that the stamp would ruin everything, deprive their relationship of romance and kill love. That's why the wedding never happened. One day she found out that her beloved had deceived her - he was dating a girl, but he told her that he was with a business partner. Tatyana packed her things and left, but Ivan’s life took a sharp turn in the other direction from that meeting.
This is interesting! The couple hid their relationship so much that even close people were shocked when they learned that Ivan was not marrying Tatyana, but Natalya.
Personal life of Urgant
Ivan has been liked by girls since his school years. Urgant's first wife was a girl named Karina Avdeeva , whom he married at the age of 18. They met in the summer at a party while on vacation, when he was still in school. Parents, naturally, were against their son’s early marriage, since the bride was four years older. The first experience of family life was unsuccessful: after a year and a half of marriage, they divorced. Karina wanted to keep her husband's last name.
A more serious and long-lasting, but not entirely successful, affair was with Tatyana Gevorkyan, his colleague. They became close during a joint trip to Portugal. They started dating and soon began to live together. Tatyana refused official marriage, since she already had a sad experience in her life. Their family partnership lasted for five years, but the wedding that all the relatives were waiting for did not happen. The girl initiated the breakup. Ivan suffered from separation for a long time, but soon there was a meeting that completely changed his fate.
During a trip to St. Petersburg, he accidentally met his classmate Natalya Kiknadze , for whom he had sympathy even at school. He invited the girl to a restaurant and got to talking. It turned out that her family life was not going well, everything was heading towards divorce. Ivan began to look after her, and the two of them returned to Moscow. They lived in a civil marriage for two years until she announced her pregnancy, and in the spring of 2007 they officially got married. Ivan felt truly happy for the first time, and when asked by journalists about his family, he answered that he was married for the first and last time.
The next year, a daughter was born into the family, who was named Nina in honor of her beloved grandmother-actress. She is now ten years old.
In September 2015, Natalya gave birth to Ivan’s second daughter, Valeria. Subscribers saw a photo of their idol’s youngest daughter only when she was three years old. Now there are five of them in the family. Natalia has a daughter, Erica, from her previous marriage, who lives with them.
Urgant treats her like her own, and never divides children into his own and others. In relation to his daughters, he tries to be strict and fair, never showing his power over them, as he was raised in his family. Just before the girls' birthdays, he always composes a new song for them. Daughters love it when dad is home: then the real fun begins.

In a cafe, Ivan met his first love. Natasha was already divorced, raising a son and daughter. Old feelings flared up again, the young people decided that fate had given them a chance to become happy.

With her attractive appearance, deep beauty and restrained temperament, she could become the heroine of Almodovar's films. The whole country knows Natalia Kiknadze’s second husband—any wife could be proud of his work. However, absolutely nothing is known about the first husband of this amazing woman.
In the press, Natalya’s ex-husband is called either Timur Kutalia or Vakhtang.

Brother and sister are similar in that they lead a rather closed lifestyle. Numerous attempts to find out about Niko’s parents on social networks have yielded no results. Niko Kutalia answers all questions about his parents simply: his parents are “mom and dad,” but he does not name names.
Teimuraz Kutalia is now engaged in business. Natalia Kiknadze's ex-husband owns. According to documents, the company is engaged in the construction of sports facilities. The business owner himself demonstrates his love for sports not only in his work. Last year, Teimuraz Vakhtangovich took part in the “7 Lakes” cycling marathon under number 232.
