Singer Daria Valitova
The young woman is not a scandalous person and therefore does not often come under the radar of journalists, except in company with her husband. In joint photographs they appear as a loving couple, passionate about travel, their own relationships and football.
Alexander Kokorin: The stamp in the passport is not important for us
Today, February 14, more than ever, I want to believe in love. To be honest, I had doubts whether it even existed. After meeting with a wonderful couple - forward of the Dynamo football club and the Russian national team Alexander Kokorin (23) and journalist Daria Valitova (24) - I believed in this wonderful feeling with renewed vigor. They are young, beautiful, successful, and have a lot to learn from them. In a frank conversation, they talked about their first date, relationships in their family and their future wedding.
Acquaintance
Sasha: The first meeting took place in a common company. Dasha came with a friend. I remember I liked her right away. I was not free then, but the relationship was already coming to an end. And one day after the European Championship we met again by chance, she asked something and said that she was watching the game. Then I realized that there was interest in me, and I began to act. Naturally, as an athlete, I wanted to achieve my goal. But I courted for a very long time.
Dasha: Sasha wrote to me in InstaMessage. I remember what I answered then, because we had many mutual friends. So we started a correspondence, then he asked for a phone number. Sasha courted me very beautifully, but he is absolutely not a romantic. He is a man of action, and I can say that he is very patient. At the beginning of our relationship, I threw hysterics at him, but like a real man, he endured everything, waited it out and achieved what he wanted. Next to him I became calm.
First date
Dasha: I don’t remember the first date at all. And Sasha even remembers what I was wearing.
Sasha: It was in White Cafe. Dasha came in some kind of turtleneck and jeans. In general, it was very difficult to get her out somewhere, she constantly said “no, no.” And then she agreed.
Romance in relationships
Sasha: I tried to be romantic to get her to like me. It’s strange to me that before this I didn’t like giving flowers to girls.
Dasha: Previously, when they gave flowers, for some reason I even felt unpleasant. Sasha is the only person from whom flowers evoked positive emotions. Although at that time he was simply courting me. Probably my subconscious already knew everything.
Who is the peacemaker in the family?
Sasha: Dasha is trying to change me, she thinks that I’m stubborn, that it’s still necessary for a man to come up first when a girl is offended, hug her, and calm her down. At first she did this all the time, now I’m slowly getting used to it.
Dasha: During all this time, Sasha was offended twice, but I am constantly. Therefore, we agreed with him that if we don’t like something, we talk about it right away. It is very important in a relationship to talk and hear each other.
Fans
Sasha: We never talked about jealousy towards fans. We didn't have any scandals about this. Either she somehow gets over it within herself, or she doesn’t pay attention.
Dasha: There are girls 12-15 years old for whom he is just an idol, they constantly tag him in photographs and put hearts on him. I treat them with affection. But there is another category of women, such hunters. I am outraged by these girls who sometimes brazenly approach him. But I trust Sasha 100%.
Tattoo
Sasha: She told me that she was planning to get a tattoo, but I didn’t even know what kind. And here is K9 (Sasha’s initials and game number. – Ed.), and in such a prominent place. I was very pleased.
Dasha: When he saw it, he started to erase it with his finger, he didn’t believe that it was real. I didn’t do this to show “look how much I love him.” This man has influenced my life so much that no matter how our relationship turns out, I will never regret it.
Rest
Sasha: Most often, Dasha doesn’t even know where we’re flying. I can hint that we will be close to friends.
Dasha: Since Sasha works all year, he just wants to lie on the beach and do nothing. Therefore, all my dreams of Singapore, Tokyo and Asia were crushed. Everything is standard with us: Dubai, Maldives, Thailand. Our tastes are the same both in food and in choosing places.
Distance
Dasha: When he leaves for training camp, it’s very difficult. We constantly call each other, WhatsApp saves us. Breakups are probably one of the most unpleasant aspects of a relationship. I definitely don’t see him for six months a year.
Sasha: There’s nothing wrong if your wife or girlfriend flies to your training camp and settles somewhere nearby. Last year Dasha flew to see me in Turkey. So if you are bored, there is a way out.
Free time
Dasha: An ideal day is when we are together all the time.
Sasha: We love going to the movies. Well, we meet with friends whom we can’t see more often due to our schedule.
Life
Dasha: I really like to cook, especially for loved ones. Sasha loves cutlets, fried potatoes, pasta and Olivier salad.
Sasha: I’ll tell you a secret, sometimes when she tries to cook something for me, I say that I didn’t like it so that she doesn’t relax. (Laughs.) Lately, Dasha has begun to master borscht. I appreciate a woman's culinary talents.
A trait that is valued
Sasha: She always has her own position, it’s not like everyone can impose their opinion on her. And I like that. But sometimes he can swear to the last, even if he understands that he is wrong. (Laughs.)
Dasha: He doesn’t waste words - this is a very valuable quality for a man. He is also incredibly kind, sometimes even too kind. He always gives without the desire to receive anything in return.
Who has the last word?
Sasha: When we need to make some serious decision, we, of course, consult with each other.
Dasha: It doesn’t happen that he decides something alone, but I leave the last word to him. This is correct, it should always be this way.
About the wedding
Sasha: The stamp in the passport is not important for me, just like for Dasha. But we are planning to have a small wedding, where our closest and dearest people will be. I want it to be beautiful and memorable for everyone.
Dasha: I know many high-profile, beautiful weddings that, unfortunately, ended in divorce. I dream more about a wedding and, of course, like any girl, I want to wear a white dress.
About children
Sasha: I’m already thinking about children. I want at least three - two boys and a girl. And if they want to play football, I won’t mind. But in any situation, no matter what they choose, I will help.
Dasha: I would like two for sure, twins or twin boys, and then girls, as God willing. I understand that some time must pass, because Sasha is now on an upswing in his career and he needs to concentrate on football. In any case, we need to wait another year.
About love
Dasha: Love is understanding and respect. I realized that I loved him when my feeling became more and more. I have inner confidence and peace of mind that tomorrow this person will be with me.
Sasha: For me, this is the person who will be with me all the time, who will support me when I feel bad. This man is with me for a reason.
PS And, by the way, I interviewed each of them separately and at different times.

Childhood and youth
Daria Valitova was born on January 1, 1991 in Siberia, in the city of Tomsk. Parents are wealthy people. Father Ruslan Valitov is a businessman, owner of a small construction company in his hometown, and mother is a housewife.
Daria Valitova in childhood
The creative girl was fond of dancing from early childhood. At the age of 4 she began studying at the Tomsk choreographic school. Teachers spoke highly of the girl’s abilities. At the age of 6, Dasha took a prize at the international children's dance competition named after. Makhmud Esambaev. At the age of 8, the young dancer was taken to Alla Dukhova’s “Todes” school. After studying there for 3 years, the girl left choreography.
In the biography of 11-year-old Valitova, a passion for tennis appeared. However, it did not become the main thing in her life. After a year and a half of training, the girl left the racket and took up a musical career.
Daria Valitova in childhood
Like many girls, from an early age Dasha loved to dress up and sing in front of the mirror or for a narrow circle of her closest relatives. Having matured, she went to a vocal teacher to understand whether she had talent and whether it was worth taking up singing. After the audition, the teacher made a verdict: you have the ability, you need to study and everything will work out.
After that, daily classes began. The girl attended vocal courses persistently and systematically. At the same time, she began composing her own songs. In 2007 (Valitova was 16 years old at the time) she shot her first video and recorded 16 compositions.
Hobbies
At the age of 8, Daria began dancing at the Todes school, created by Alla Dukhova. The girl showed great promise. However, at the age of 12, our heroine decided to give up dancing and take up tennis. She trained on the court for a year and a half. At some point, Daria realized that she was still very far from becoming the “first racket of the world”. And Valitova gave up this activity.
She has a new hobby - music. Daria Valitova began attending vocal courses and began composing songs. In 2007, she released her debut video and recorded 16 tracks. The talented girl managed to work with such famous artists as Dominic Joker and Vlad Topalov.
Currently, Daria lives in Moscow, studying at one of the theater universities. In the near future, she is going to conquer Russian cinema.
Music
At the age of 18, Daria decided to build a career in Moscow and set off to conquer the capital. The first producer of the young ambitious singer was the ex-soloist of the group “Smash” Vlad Topalov.
Valitova also collaborated with Dominic Joker, Alexey Golubev and Timati.
Song by Daria Valitova “Half a step from love”
The girl also tried her hand at journalism, even working as the editor of Rabbit Magazine. But she quickly realized that it was not hers and quit.
Judging by the information on the Internet, Daria has now left her musical career. She entered one of the capital's universities in the hope of becoming an actress.
Daria Valitova is the girlfriend of the most talked about football player of the Russian national team
Valitova was known even before she met Kokorin. She has been building a singing career under the pseudonym Amelie for a long time and not very successfully. Even her ex-boyfriends, Vlad Topalov and Timati, were unable to promote her to the all-Russian level. It’s funny that Kokorin’s previous girlfriend, Victoria Smirnova, is the sister of the rapper asking about insolence.
In addition, Daria managed to dance in the Todes group, be the editor of Rabbit Magazine and promote a page on Instagram.

Alexander met Valitova three years ago and spent a very long time pursuing her. Now Daria is so in love that she got herself a “K9” tattoo (no, not “Dog Job,” but Kokorin’s game number). When the football player first saw the tattoo, he didn’t believe it and tried to erase it with his finger. Now Valitova’s main dream is a wedding. How things change in three years, right?

But one thing does not change – the constant scandals surrounding Kokorin’s person. Instagrams of lovers are full of photos with gorgeous views and expensive cars, which provokes tons of criticism. Even the legend of Kutaisi journalism Otar Kushanashvili made a caustic note about this. Valitova is very sad because of the negative comments and does not understand why people are so angry. She also tolerates her lover’s antics, like that enchanting photo from the sauna. Daria really wants to marry her. They say that family scandals on this topic led to a decline in the striker’s play. Well, let's hope that before the Euro he managed to at least hint to the girl about a quick wedding.

Personal life
Daria Valitova’s personal life cannot be called stormy. Immediately upon her arrival in Moscow, she began her first serious romance with Vlad Topalov. However, it did not lead to anything significant and quickly faded away. She also began a short relationship with rapper Timati. All this became just fleeting episodes before the long-term relationship that the girl entered into in 2011.
Daria Valitova and Vlad Topalov
Zenit football player Kokorin noticed a slender, pretty blonde at a party where she was having fun with her friend. Having fallen in love with the beauty, he began to court her. But Daria did not intend to meet him at first, and a romantic relationship with the athlete did not begin immediately. The words of a girl addressed to her future lover are often quoted on the Internet:
“At first our relationship didn’t work out. Sasha was kind of stubborn, stubborn, probably considered himself a star. We quarreled, I often threw terrible hysterics at him, and he silently left. But he didn’t disappear, he called again. We met again and quarreled again.”
After 1 or 2 months, Valitova gave up, and the couple began to live together. The lovers traveled a lot. Often on the Internet there were photos of young people on the beach. Slender Daria did not hesitate to show off her ideal forms, posing in a swimsuit.

It turned out that Kokorin’s common-law wife had a bright temperament and periodically the girl sorted things out with the football player. The latter, as follows from media information, often gave rise to it.
The most difficult time to survive parting with a loved one is during frequent business trips. To show her love to the forward, the girl got a “K9” tattoo, where K is the first letter of her last name and 9 is the player’s number.

They write that Kokorin dreams of three children. The couple had their first son in 2020. On her Instagram page, Dasha periodically publishes pictures of the child, but he always either has his back turned or his face is covered with funny drawn faces.
Despite the birth of the baby, the couple is in no hurry to get married. Although some sources report that the young people have legalized their relationship, there is no official confirmation of the information.
Personal life and women of Alexander Kokorin
Alexander Kokorin comes from the small town of Valuyki, in the Belgorod region, where he was born in 1991, on March 19th. Sasha started playing football even before he went to school, and in 2008 his professional career started. With his arrival at the capital's Dynamo club, Kokorin quickly became the “hero” of scandalous chronicles, as well as a regular at social events and fashionable nightclubs. Soon the attention of the press was attracted by the stormy romance that broke out between the young football player and the aspiring actress Victoria Smirnova. The guys met in one of the capital's entertainment establishments, where Alexander went by chance, and Victoria was a frequent guest there. A spark immediately ran between them, and the young people began dating. The couple was not embarrassed by the significant age difference, because Vika was almost ten years older than her young chosen one. In addition, the girl is the cousin of the popular rap artist Timati, which only fueled the public’s interest in her romance with the football player. For some time, the couple was often captured by the paparazzi; young people appeared at parties together and willingly posted their photos together on social networks. However, their romance ended suddenly after Victoria went to London to study and hone her acting skills. The girl can be seen in a cameo role in the urban fantasy “Night Watch”, the military drama “War”, as well as the action film “Trap for a Killer”. We add that Smirnova also met with performers Stas Piekha and Pavel Sokolov at different times.
Alexander Kokorin and Victoria Smirnova
Soon after breaking up with Victoria Smirnova, Alexander began an affair with a girl named Kristina Dolgopolova. Little is known about this girl; Christina is from Moscow, where she met Kokorin. The relationship between the young people developed rapidly, the football player took his new passion to fashionable resorts in the United Arab Emirates and the Maldives, the girl also accompanied her chosen one at the 2012 European Championship.
It seemed that Alexander had found his happiness, however, after the end of Euro 2012, their relationship somehow cooled sharply, and already in the fall of that year the couple broke up. According to the official version, it was Kokorin who left his girlfriend, but it soon became known that Christina left Sasha for his colleague at the Dynamo club, Luke Wilkshire, whom she soon married and gave birth to two children.
Alexander Kokorin and Kristina Dolgopolova
In 2013, the football player began dating a young singer named Daria Valitova, who is also known under the creative pseudonym Amelie. The girl was born in the city of Tomsk, in 1991, on January 1, in the family of a wealthy businessman, the owner of a construction company. It was thanks to the financial support of her father that Dasha once went to the capital and began her musical career. Also, in her youth, the girl was seriously involved in choreography and even performed as part of the show ballet “Todes”. Before meeting Kokorin, Valitova had a romantic relationship with performer Vlad Topalov, who at that time was her producer, as well as rapper Timati.
Daria and Alexander met through the efforts of their mutual friends. The pretty, slender blonde literally captivated the young athlete at first sight, the guys started dating, and just a few months later they decided to move in together and began to live together. Daria even got herself a tattoo with her lover’s initials. Three years later, the lovers legalized their relationship, however, they did not advertise this event and staged a secret ceremony to which only the people closest to them were invited. Spouses do not like to show off their family life, including on social networks. After the wedding, Dasha finally left the stage and her musical career, completely concentrating on arranging her family life. Last year, the couple had their first child, and just a few months later rumors appeared in the press about Daria’s second pregnancy, which, however, were not confirmed.
Alexander Kokorin and Daria Valitova
However, despite all the external idyll, it is quite difficult to call Kokorin an exemplary husband. The man regularly gets into various cheating scandals, and his photographs with other women pop up in the press every now and then. Just remember the story that unfolded in December 2014, when the football player spent time in a sauna with naked beauties, and he himself published intimate photographs of them together on his social network account. However, the football player soon sobered up, came to his senses and deleted the pictures, but it was too late. During her entire life together with Alexander, Daria more than once threw him hysterics and scenes of jealousy, and even packed up her things and left the athlete, but every time the man, by some miracle, managed to beg his beloved’s forgiveness and return her back to their home.

Valitova herself never washes dirty linen in public, as they say, and in high-profile scandals the girl takes the side of her husband. However, Daria’s father has repeatedly hinted in his interviews that his daughter, to put it mildly, is not entirely happy in this relationship.
In particular, when the other day Kokorin and his friend Pavel Mamaev once again became involved in a loud scandal, according to the footballer’s father-in-law, Dasha was in the hospital with her son, and the news about her husband’s adventures became a serious blow for the girl. At the moment, Valitova has blocked all her pages on social networks in order to protect herself and her family from the flow of negativity and angry comments.

Kokorin’s lawyer states that the Zenit forward tried to separate the fighters and stop the fight. Daria, for her part, as a true life partner should, sided with her husband. In an interview with Channel One, she described Kokorin as a person who is unable to “offend even a fly.” The woman also noted that Alexander loves his son very much and added:
“I can’t be offended by anything right now. I only want him to be next to me, next to our child, to be released.”
The spouses were supported by the wife of Zenit striker and close family friend Artem Dzyuba.
“Dashulik, Sasha, hold on! Everything will work out! We are with you,” wrote Kristina Dzyuba in ASKfm.
Alexander Kokorin in the Russian National Team
For the first time, Kokorin received an invitation to the youth team of the Russian Federation in 2009. He performed successfully several times and scored seven goals throughout his performances. In 2011, Alexander began playing for the Russian national team . His performance was highlighted by Dick Advocaat and Fabio Capello. For the first time as a member of the national team, the footballer took to the field against Greece.
Due to his successful and confident performance, the athlete was selected to participate in Euro 2012, where he performed against the Czech Republic, although, having been injured, he did not play again in this tournament. Kokorin scored his first goal for the national team during the qualification for the 2014 World Cup against the Israeli team.

In a game against Luxembourg in September 2013, Alexander scored a goal in the 21st second of the game, which set a new record for the Russian national team. The athlete played three games at the World Championships in Brazil , scoring a goal in a game against the Algerian national team, which ended with a score of 1:1. In 2020, the player accepted Zenit’s offer - the St. Petersburg team promised the player three and a half million euros .
Yuri Zhirkov also moved there together with Alexander. The St. Petersburg residents greeted the new players kindly, although the team’s midfielder Oleg Shatov jokingly said: “I didn’t understand that Cristiano Ronaldo had come to the team. And this is just Kokorin.” On April 9, 2020, Alexander took part in the first match for Zenit.
Kokorin with his friend Pavel Mamaev
At Euro 2016, the Russian team did not perform well, leaving the championship actually at the beginning. After this, Kokorin and his friend Pavel Mamaev will throw a party in Monaco , spending about two hundred and fifty thousand euros, five hundred euros per bottle, on one champagne, which they treated the entire hall to. To all questions, Alexander answered that he did not note anything, but simply joined a company in which there were many Russians.
On August 24, 2020, Zenit advanced to the group stage of the Europa League, defeating the Dutch football club Utrecht thanks to Kokorin's brace . The first goal was scored by the athlete in the ninth minute of the game, the second at the end of the extra period.
