There were legends about his personal life, and almost all of his colleagues were considered to be the spouses of the popularly beloved announcer, but all his life there was only one woman next to him - the wife of Igor Kirillov, who had known him since childhood. Irina Vsevolodovna, a sound engineer by training, was her husband’s assistant and adviser not only in everyday life, but also in the professional sphere. According to Igor Leonidovich, Irina was his demanding and objective critic, to whose opinion he always listened unquestioningly.
The announcer's first wife Irina
Irina Vsevolodovna passed away in 2004; her death was unexpected for her loved ones, and therefore even more tragic. Kirillov does not like to talk about this, because the loss of his wife was a terrible trauma in his personal life, which has not healed to this day. Igor Leonidovich met Irina when they were both a little over ten years old - he went out for a walk in the yard, where he met her and her younger sisters Tatyana and Natalya. From that very moment they became inseparable - they played hide and seek and tag together, and ran around the neighboring yards. They had to separate for a short time when it was time to go to school - in those days, boys and girls studied separately, but after the seventh grade, Igor and Irina already became inseparable.

The spouses were connected not only by a common personal life, but also by work - Irina Vsevolodovna followed her husband to work on television, and, after returning from maternity leave after the birth of her daughter, the announcer’s wife moved to Ostankino and worked with her husband as a sound engineer in the same editorial office for thirty-three years.
They lived together for almost half a century, and during all this time there were no serious disagreements between the spouses. Kirillov says that thanks to his wife, he does not drink alcohol - Irina immediately vetoed this hobby, but he never managed to quit smoking, and even his beloved wife could not do anything about it.
Second marriage at 80
Kirillov met his second wife Tatyana when he was almost 80. She worked not far from his home. They often saw each other, said hello, and chatted about trifles. Tatyana understood that it was difficult for Igor Leonidovich in every sense, although he never lost his good spirits or his sense of humor. She tried her best to cheer him up. Thus, friendships gradually began. They began to visit each other. Tatiana taught him how to cook pasta. There was no talk about marriage. But when a new acquaintance lost her home and job, Kirillov decided to take an important action. “It was so hard for me to look at her upturned face that at first I left her to spend the night in the former nursery of my daughter Anya, who now lives in Germany (she is not much older than Tatyana Alexandrovna - Ed.), says Igor Leonidovich. - We've been together since then. She is my friend for life."

After the death of Igor Kirillov’s wife, Anna communicates with her father most often by phone and Skype. Unfortunately, the announcer’s relationship with his youngest son deteriorated, and this became a real drama for Igor Leonidovich.

He changed his phone numbers so that his relatives could not contact him. Vsevolod was so opposed to the family that when Irina Vsevolodovna died, he, despite strong feelings, was not present at her burial.

The woman worked next to Kirillov’s house and often saw him, they exchanged meaningless phrases, and Tatyana, who understood how difficult it was for Igor Leonidovich after the death of his wife, tried to cheer him up and support him. Over time, they got to know each other better, began to visit each other, but they were not going to tie the knot if it weren’t for chance.
When Tatyana Aleksandrovna lost not only her job, but also her housing, Kirillov decided to help the woman and invited her to live in his huge empty apartment. This marked the beginning of their family life.
The announcer's second wife is thirty-four years younger than him, she is almost the same age as his daughter and does everything so that Igor Leonidovich does not need anything.
