Height, weight, age. How old is Yulia Proskuryakova
Like any public figure, the wife of a famous singer is discussed on the Internet and there are even debates about what parameters a woman has, her height, weight, age.
“How old is Yulia Proskuryakova, if she and her husband look like peers,” some spiteful critics criticize the singer’s appearance, “But she’s thirty-six.” Julia, with a height of 159 cm, weighs 49 kg and although she is far from ideal, she does not want to join the ranks of emaciated women with the same face - pumped up lips and wide eyebrows. The singer exercises, eats the right food, and Yulia Proskuryakova is not going to look up to anyone. Her fans compared the photos in her youth and now and expressed a unanimous opinion that at this time Yulia looks more beautiful, more well-groomed and more feminine.
Biography and personal life of Yulia Proskuryakova
The biography and personal life of Yulia Proskuryakova is a very unusual story, where everything ended in a happy ending. A girl was born in Yekaterinburg on August 11, 1982 in a family where her father, Pavel Sergeevich, worked in the prosecutor’s office, and her mother, Lyudmila Ivanovna, was an engineer. Yulia has a younger sister, Olya. Since her school years, the girl was fond of amateur performances and was a member of the Alyonushka VIA. Julia took part in many competitions that were related to music.
After school, Yulia completed her master's degree at the Law Academy, but the dream of singing on stage remained just a dream. She even participated in the musical projects “Become a Star” and “People’s Artist”.
But chance changed everything when Igor Nikolaev arrived in Yekaterinburg, and Yulia, having overcome all her fears, managed to sing her songs to the famous singer, who became interested in the girl’s talent. Only six months later they began a romantic relationship, which grew into sincere feelings called love.
Yulia was the first to confess her feelings to Igor, but Nikolaev for a long time could not believe the girl from the experience of past relationships. All his women loved not him, but a public figure. But not this time, Proskuryakova fell in love with Igor as a person, as a man, and over time she proved it. The wedding took place between the lovers in 2010, among the guests were Russian pop stars who came to congratulate the lovers. The host of the celebration was Andrei Malakhov, who impeccably conducted such a beautiful and exciting holiday for everyone.
Yulia had a new opportunity to express herself creatively, and she and her husband, Igor Nikolaev, began to sing a duet and go on tour. They released a joint collection that won the love of the public. And a little later, Yulia Proskuryakova recorded a solo album called “You are my happiness.” After the release of new songs, the singer has a lot of fans of her talent who are looking forward to new hits.
In 2013, Julia starred in the series “Provincial Muse” and “Tili-tili-dough”, in which she played the main characters and was very successful. The audience appreciated the excellent performance of the actress, who increasingly impressed the public.
In 2020, Yulia Proskuryakova and Igor Nikolaev had a daughter, Veronica, who brought the family together even more. Julia gave birth to a girl prematurely, and doctors fought for the baby’s life. Fortunately, everything worked out well and now the daughter pleases her parents, who waited so long for her birth.
Igor Nikolaev is loved by millions of listeners. Performers who choose his songs become stars. The author of the hits is appreciated by his colleagues, calling him the pride of Russia, like Larisa Dolina, a unique phenomenon in art, like Alla Pugacheva, and simply a genius, according to Philip Kirkorov.
Singer and composer Igor Nikolaev
The composer's life is devoted to music; it reflects his thoughts, experiences and contrasts.
For the first time, composer Igor Nikolaev got married while still studying at the Sakhalin Music School. In 1978, Igor Nikolaev became a father for the first time. His first wife, Elena Kudryasheva, gave birth to his daughter Yulia. At the time of the birth of their daughter, the young life partners were 18 years old.
The rapid fading of relationships that began in youth was a completely natural development of events. Igor's first family fell apart. Later, the composer married for the second time, choosing Natasha Koroleva as his life partner.
Igor Nikolaev and Natasha Koroleva
This happened in the early 1990s, when the media wrote about the open romance of the brilliant Russian composer and the young but promising Ukrainian singer Natalya Poryvay, who later received the creative pseudonym Korolev from her patron.
A bright and rich wedding for those times took place in 1994. The marriage was officially registered by employees of the Moscow registry office at Igor’s house. However, this union was not destined to last forever. In 2001, the couple broke up.
Igor Nikolaev and Natasha Koroleva broke up
The reason for the divorce, as the singer herself later said, was Nikolaev’s interest in other women. After the first betrayal, the Queen gave her husband time to understand the situation and make a decision. A year has passed, but nothing has changed. Natasha initiated the divorce process, which took place before the eyes of the whole country. The musician tried to bring his wife back and made loud statements from the stage, but the Queen remained adamant.
5 years after the breakup, in an interview, Igor admits that the women he met during that period “were a kind of similarity to Natasha. The desire to repeat that strong feeling and that emotion leads to an unconscious search for one similar to that one. Of course, there are no cloned people, but some similarities can be found.”
After another 4 years, the artist had a third wife, Yulia Proskuryakova, whose resemblance to Natasha Koroleva was noted by both fans and reporters.

Igor and Yulia met at the Yekaterinburg Youth Palace, where the girl studied in a vocal studio as a child, and at that time the musician came on tour. Proskuryakova worked in a notary office, and a friend invited a capital celebrity to a concert in the evening. Yulia is still surprised how she made her way through the crowd of fans and security to demonstrate her vocal abilities to Nikolaev.
Igor appreciated it and asked to send him a disk with recordings. Later, when Yulia wanted to return the disc, the composer offered to stay in Moscow and rented an apartment for the girl. But for another year, the feelings of the famous musician and a simple lawyer remained platonic. It took a long time to polish the characters. The couple moved into the same apartment after a quarrel. Nikolaev said that he does not have the strength to conflict and he wants Yulia to always be there.
Igor Nikolaev and Yulia Proskuryakova
In September 2010, the couple legalized their relationship. The merit for this is attributed to Ksenia Sobchak’s mother, Senator Lyudmila Narusova, who considered that Igor and Yulia “squashed the wedding.” The press reported that the singer secretly married in America, and no excuses for Proskuryakova were taken into account. So Narusova, having met the lovers at the New Wave competition, did not believe it. Upon returning to Moscow, Igor proposed to the girl.
After 5 years of marriage, the long-awaited girl was born, who was named Veronica. According to doctors' calculations, the date of birth of Igor's second child coincided with the birthday of the first. But the daughter was born premature, and the first months for the parents were spent in worries and worries.

Nikolaev is 22 years older than Proskuryakova and at first he was jealous of his chosen one for her peers. When he was convinced that Yulia was not deceiving, he calmed down. Igor himself said that for his affair with the Queen, who is 13 years younger, he received “to the fullest” from those around him. But for some reason everything is different with my current wife.
Daughter Yulia from Igor’s first marriage graduated with honors from a general education musical institution in the piano class, as well as from the College of Arts and Variety in Miami. At a young age, the girl starred in the children's television project “Good Night, Kids,” performing a specially written composition “Winnie the Pooh,” and later participated in the filming of Alla Pugacheva’s video “Uninvited Guest” and several of her dad’s videos. Julia lives in the USA; after her divorce from her husband John, she began studying to become a doctor.

The composer's children Julia and Veronica get along with each other. Igor makes no secret of his personal life; he often publishes photos of former and current family members on Instagram. Nikolaev has maintained friendly relations with Koroleva, the artists communicate and congratulate each other on the pages of social networks on significant events.
Both Yulia also became friends. Nikolaev’s wife and eldest daughter love to sit with a cup of tea, chat, walk around the city or raid shops. Women understand each other perfectly. The result of such friendship is the song “You are my happiness,” which was written by Yulia Nikolaeva and performed by Yulia Proskuryakova.
Although the artist’s wife said that she does not set a goal to make a career as a singer, she nevertheless performs on stage. For his wife, as well as for a duet performance, Igor composed the compositions “SMS”, “One hope for love”, “New Year without you”, “My man”.
Since her school years she has participated in amateur performances, and received her first diploma for performing Igor Nikolaev’s song “Photography 9X12”. From 13 to 17 years old she studied at the Alyonushka VIA, during which time she took part in many competitions and received a large number of diplomas.
At the institute she also participated in competitions, one of which was the competition among students of Russian universities “Voice of Russia-2000” in the city of Samara, where Yulia received the audience award and a special jury prize. She participated in the television projects “Become a Star”, “People’s Artist”, “Musical Ring”.
In 2008, she took part in a creative evening with Igor Nikolaev in Jurmala as part of the “New Wave” competition for young performers. In subsequent years she also performed in Jurmala and was invited as a guest of the competition.
Yulia Proskuryakova sometimes takes part in the spring concert “Valentin Yudashkin Show in the Kremlin”, “Song of the Year”, “Best Songs” and other main concerts in the country.
In March 2011, a large duet concert “One Hope for Love” was held at the Kremlin Palace. With the same name and dedicated to this event, a joint album by Igor Nikolaev and Yulia Proskuryakova was released, which included 2 discs: CD and DVD.
Currently, Yulia continues to live an active artistic life: participates in television, radio and Internet projects, gives interviews to magazines (“7 Days”, “Telenedelya”, “Relax”, etc.), tours around Russia, near and far abroad.
Career
Yulia Proskuryakova's great career began after a meeting with the famous singer and composer Igor Nikolaev. They met in 2008 at the New Wave competition for young performers. After the performance, Nikolaev came to talk with the young artists, and Yulia made her way to the front row. Igor could not help but pay attention to her. That same evening he invited her to a restaurant.
The young people began dating, and in 2010 they officially legalized their relationship. Since then, Igor Nikolaev writes almost all the songs for his wife. And she began performing at the main stages of the country, including at the “Song of the Year”.
“Once upon a time in my life there were only small scenes. And then stadiums and even the Kremlin Palace appeared. And my husband was always there to give me advice and guide me. And his experience is invaluable.”
In 2011, a joint album by Igor Nikolaev and Yulia Proskuryakova, “One Hope for Two,” was released. And under the same name a concert was held in the Kremlin. And in 2013, Julia recorded her first solo album, “You are my happiness.” Currently, Proskuryakova has moved away from the stage a little.

Family and children of Yulia Proskuryakova
The family and children of Yulia Proskuryakova are one of the frequently asked questions on the Internet, but the singer and her husband have one child, Veronica, for whom the family has been waiting for a very long time. The couple have been happily married for eight years and hid their child from prying eyes for a long time. But now you can increasingly see family photos that the couple posts on social networks.
Igor Nikolaev says that their baby is growing up as a very talented and capable child; she can count not only in Russian, but also in English. In a family of musicians, it is difficult to remain indifferent to music, so Veronica is not indifferent to any musical instruments. Yulia Proskuryakova’s family loves to spend time together, relax with their friends and enjoy family happiness.

That same meeting
But all this was before the fateful meeting with the famous composer Igor Nikolaev. And it happened in her native Yekaterinburg, when Yulia approached the singer after the concert to perform a couple of her songs. More precisely, his songs, because in her repertoire there were a lot of compositions by Igor Nikolaev. Julia interested Igor, so much so that he not only continued communication in Yekaterinburg, but also invited the performer to Moscow. Igor wrote several songs for Proskuryakova and began promoting her. But gradually Julia became for the composer not only a successful musical project, but also his beloved woman. The lovers were not embarrassed by the age difference, Igor’s past (after all, two divorces behind him), and scandals associated with former lovers. And even constant comparisons between Yulia and Natasha Koroleva could not stand in the way of the lovers - in 2009 the couple got married.
After the wedding, Julia did not leave the stage and performed a lot solo or with her husband. They prepared a large solo program, “One Hope for Love,” which was sold out on the stage of the Kremlin Palace. Julia recorded her first, and so far only, album, and began to try herself as an actress. Proskuryakova has already released four films in which she was involved. In October 2015, a long-awaited event occurred in the Nikolaev family - their daughter Veronica was born. Happy parents protect their daughter from prying eyes and rarely delight fans with photographs of the child on social networks. But Julia leads an active life, performs, gives interviews in the press and willingly shares with fans the secrets of family happiness and raising children.
Daughter of Yulia Proskuryakova - Veronica
The daughter of Yulia Proskuryakova, Veronica, was born in a marriage with Igor Nikolaev on October 8, 2020. The girl is still just a baby, but all her family and friends are sure that she will turn out to be a worthy singer. Veronica loves to sing and there is even a video of her performance on the Internet.
You can also see many pictures of Yulia Proskuryakova with her daughter. The photo from 2020, when the baby turned two years old, is very touching, the girl hugs her happy mom and dad on her birthday.
The couple loves their long-awaited child very much and is already pampering her with the most beautiful outfits from famous designers. And she, like a true woman, even though she is small, loves to admire herself. Parents say that it is very interesting to watch Nika grow up; every day she has new expressions and her own opinion. And also, relatives share, Veronica is a very serious child who gives smiles very rarely, but when she laughs, it is contagious and from the heart.
Childhood and youth of the star
Yulia Proskuryakova’s date of birth is 08/11/1982. The future pop singer was born in Yekaterinburg (then Sverdlovsk). Her zodiac sign according to the European horoscope is Leo, and according to the Eastern horoscope it is Dog.
The family of the future star was friendly and intelligent, in which two daughters grew up. Dad, Pavel Sergeevich, was a lawyer by profession, then a notary. In his declining years, my father discovered his poetic talent and even published a small collection of poetry, “Crystal Grass.” Some of his poems were published in the local press. Mom Lyudmila Nikolaevna worked as an engineer. The girl also has a younger sister, Lyudmila, who followed in her father’s footsteps and also became a lawyer.
Although the girl’s parents had nothing to do with art, they noticed their daughter’s creative inclinations, developed them and supported their daughter when she decided to become a singer. Many children, especially girls, dream of becoming a star, and Yulia Proskuryakova loved to sing from an early age. She constantly took part in various vocal competitions and loved to perform at school concerts.
“It’s interesting that as a child, Yulia quite often performed hits by Igor Nikolaev, completely unaware that he was her betrothed. The young artist even received her first diploma for performing Nikolaev’s song “Photography 9x12.”
As a teenager, Yulia was a soloist of the VIA Alyonushka. In it, the girl gained valuable experience and studied vocals, and the team, thanks to their young talent, won a huge number of prizes at various competitions and shows.
Despite her outstanding vocal and artistic abilities, Proskuryakova did not decide to enroll in a specialized educational institution after school. Instead, she entered the Ural Academy of Law in 1999 and received the profession of lawyer. Student years are an unforgettable time, and during this time the girl not only “gnawed the granite of science,” but also took an active part in the social and leisure life of the faculty. Julia also announced herself in various talent shows, such as:
- "Become a star";
- “Voice of Russia” - (in 2000 she received the audience award and a special jury prize);
- "National artist".
Yulia Proskuryakova's husband - Igor Nikolaev
Yulia Proskuryakova’s husband, Igor Nikolaev, is a famous singer and composer who was the girl’s idol. Yulia recalls that the only person who liked Nikolaev’s work in the Proskuryakova family was herself. She had a poster of him hanging at home, and who would have thought that he would become her future husband.
The couple’s first meeting took place in Julia’s hometown, where the singer came to give a concert. Then the girl miraculously managed to get through the crowd of fans to Nikolaev, get his autograph and even give him a CD with her songs.
Their romance began only six months later; the sincere feelings of the lovers were reflected in their happy eyes. The couple got married in 2010 and five years later they had a charming daughter.
A composer and performer on the stage for many years, favored by the attention of the press and the love of fans - sit back and rest on your laurels. But Igor Nikolaev is not one of those. The musician is interested in modern trends. In 2020, the main lyricist of the Russian stage surprised the audience with a collaboration with a young singer from Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk Emma Blinkova. The girl is known in the online community as Emma M. The new duet recorded a cover version of the hit “Let’s Drink to Love.”

At the same time, the media space was stirred up by the message that Igor refuses to compose new compositions for Irina Allegrova. For the “empress” of the Russian stage, Nikolaev wrote two dozen songs, and each found a response in the hearts of listeners, including “The Wanderer,” with which the artist’s ascent to Olympus began.
The musician emphasized that it is the old material that is of interest, and if people suddenly became new, then new hits would appear. As it is, he has already said everything he wanted, and at concerts they ask him to sing “from the old days.” In addition, Irina collaborates with young authors who have something to offer.
Igor Nikolaev with his daughter
At Allegrova’s creative evening in the New Wave Hall, the same “old” Nikolaev “Wedding Flowers”, “Junior Lieutenant”, “Stupid Boy”, “Photography 9x12” were performed.
In the fall, a new book of poems by Igor Nikolaev entitled “Songs and Artists” was published. This is not the first publication of the composer's poetic works. The collection “I Love You to Tears,” published in 2015, is dedicated to Igor’s parents. The book includes 200 song lyrics, rare photographs of the artist and family photographs.
Writer Igor Nikolaev
In December, Avtoradio presented the holiday song “New Year,” which Igor Nikolaev had the opportunity to record in the company of Katya Lel, Denis Klyaver, Alexander Marshal and Viktor Rybin. In the show “In Full Voice”, organized for talented young performers from the CIS countries by the MIR 24 TV channel, a creative evening of the Russian composer was held.
Nikolaev intrigued fans with the news that he was preparing a surprise for the New Year holidays with his friend and colleague Yuri Antonov. Fans immediately assumed that this would apparently be a duet.

Igor’s official website outlines the tour schedule for the first half of 2020. The tour “BEST AND NEW SONGS #DRINK FOR LOVE” takes place in the cities of Russia and Belarus. However, Nikolaev found time to attend Alla Pugacheva’s anniversary concert. The media has already dubbed the event the return of the Diva to the stage.
