Official: Potap divorced his wife...2 years ago

Alexey Potapenko is a Ukrainian musician, producer, TV presenter, author and performer of songs who goes by the pseudonym Potap. The artist, beloved by thousands of fans, now hosts music shows, and the songs he created and sang are heard on popular radio stations. The star is invited to television projects to play the role of presenter and music expert. However, in order to gain fame and recognition, Alexey had to make a lot of efforts.

Childhood and education

Potap was born in the capital of Ukraine in the family of a professional athlete and a military man. Date of birth: May 8, 1981. From early childhood, the child was accustomed to discipline and order in everything, studied well at school, but parents were often called to school because of their son’s unsatisfactory behavior. He always argued with teachers, defending his point of view to the end, and sometimes even brought them to tears.

On the advice of his mother, a world champion in underwater relay diving, the boy began to practice water polo and, thanks to hard work and excellent abilities, later received the title of master of sports. Until the fourth grade, Potap studied at school 105 in Kiev, and from the fifth he moved to school 141. In his free time from school, at the age of 13, Alyosha began writing songs, poetry, and recording his own musical compositions. However, mom and dad did not take his hobby seriously.

After graduating from school, the artist entered the University of Physical Education and Sports of Ukraine. In parallel with his studies, he was a member of the KVN team. After receiving his first higher education, the guy could have worked as a physical education teacher or a water polo coach, but his father wanted his son to acquire a more serious profession, and Alexey entered the Kiev National Economic University. Having acquired two degrees, the guy wanted to follow his own path, and not follow the recommendations of his relatives. Potap decided to devote not only his youth, but his entire life to music.

Personal life

The artist and producer’s professional career was more successful than Potap’s personal life. Alexey was married. The ex-wife Irina Gorovaya is a financier by profession and works as a commercial director of a production company. This is Irina’s second marriage. From her first marriage she had a daughter, Natalya, whom they raised together.

In 2008, Ira Gorovaya gave birth to a son. In the Potap family there is a custom of calling boys by the names Andrey or Alexey. The couple decided to name their son Andrei.

In 2014, Alexey and Irina filed for divorce. Potap admitted to the press that this is not a momentary decision, the couple have not lived together for several years, the singer and his wife have long had a personal life outside the family. The musician even hoped that the new chosen ones would get along with each other after meeting. The ex-spouses communicate; the separation did not affect the couple’s business relationship. The producer and commercial director continued to work together to promote the groups.

The divorce announcement gave rise to many rumors about the musician’s new lover. And the first candidate for the role of the girl with whom the musician had been dating for so long and secretly was his constant colleague. Potap’s co-host at social events was often Nastya Kamenskikh, so the musicians constantly appeared together. The artists looked harmonious: petite Nastya and tall Potap (the singer’s height is 195 cm).

Music career

When he had free time, Alyosha created songs and took part in musical projects. Although this activity did not bring the desired profit, the artist did not give up. Soon, perseverance, a strong love for music and an uncontrollable desire to be at the peak of popularity began to bring positive results.

In 1997, Potap created the first group that performed hard rock. And in 2003, the young man presented his solo album. The soloist's active concert activities, filming and interviews have cemented Alexey Potapenko's image as a shocking artist.

In 2006, the show business star, together with Anastasia Kamenskikh, created the duet “Potap and Nastya”, where Alyosha acts as a producer, performer, author of lyrics and music, as well as director and screenwriter of videos. They sang their first song together, “Without Love,” which instantly became a hit and a chart leader. This couple became prize-winners of various music festivals and winners of numerous awards.

In 2008, Alyosha, together with Uncle Vadya and UGO, released the disc “We Are Richer.” In the same year, the first album of the duet “Potap and Nastya” was released, which was called “Not a Couple”, in 2009 - the second one called “Don’t Love My Brains”. Then many more different songs appeared that became hits. They helped the singers achieve career growth. The number of public performances of songs and invitations to performances of “Potap and Nastya” could be the envy of many artists.

However, in 2020, the duo announced that they had decided to stop working together and take a creative break. Anastasia Kamenskikh began a solo career, and Potap began to work hard as a producer.

In 2020, the rapper presented the result of his work with the famous Ukrainian performer Oleg Vinnik - the song “Nightest Day”.

Potap and Irina Gorovaya divorced - exclusive interview with stars

They themselves did not notice how family relationships grew into working relationships, and love into friendship, but they managed to part ways with dignity, maintaining a common business, warmth and respect for each other. How co-producers Potap and Irina Gorovoy managed to do this was learned by the magazine “Relax!” (Ukraine).

Everyone knows that the union of Potap (Alexey Potapenko) and Irina Gorova is incredibly successful: they created the production center MOZGI Entertainment, several musical projects, received many prizes and awards in show business, and are raising two children - 19-year-old Natasha (daughter from their first marriage of Irina) and 8-year-old Andryusha. But it turns out that they are no longer husband and wife. Let's find out the sensational details first-hand!

Alexey, Irina, many are still sure that you are a strong married couple. Is it true that you got divorced and no longer live together? Irina: Yes, we got divorced, it’s true. We have been living separately for five years now, and we officially filed for divorce two years ago. And we are indeed a strong, but not a married couple. (Smiles.) Alexey: Why didn’t we advertise that we weren’t married for a long time? Yes, somehow there was no time, we worked a lot: we put the group “Time and Steklo” on its feet, developed the group “Potap and Nastya”, created the group Mozgi, recorded the song Michelle Andrade... But now we already have different personal lives, and it’s time talk about it... How would you characterize your current relationship? Irina: We are parents, business partners, we are true friends... If I have a problem, Lesha is the first person I turn to, and he is the only person I trust 100%. We are an unconventional couple - a symbiosis of two people who cannot exist without each other. Alexey: We have such a strong friendly love. Although we separated a long time ago, we never really parted, since we worked together... Probably, from the outside it will seem strange that the ex-husband and wife communicate so warmly. But we are truly close, we share the most intimate things with each other...

You have been together for more than 15 years. Can we say that it was a happy time? Irina: We had an interesting life! We went through a lot: poverty, Lesha’s development as a popular artist, nerves, my leaving work - I held a high position in a bank, childbirth... We separated and came together... I am grateful to Lesha that all this time he tried not to hurt me. Alexey: It was a happy marriage, which is why, after getting divorced, we remained soul mates, partners and associates. Which period of your marriage do you consider the happiest and which the most difficult? Irina: The happiest is the beginning of our relationship. Lesha was 19 then, he was like a flower that had just bloomed. There wasn't a speck of dust on it! (Smiles.) And the most difficult time was the period when we realized that we were drifting apart. It was difficult to accept this fact. We had to think about what to do next - how our production center, which we created together, would work... At this time we had victories at work, we vacationed together, but there was no longer a family. Alexey: At first it was also difficult for us, because we were getting used to each other, adjusting. I am a creative person, and Ira is a mathematical-pragmatic person. I am a free wind, an artist, I must create... When I become too correct, I send myself on some adventures just because I need to draw inspiration from there. I got married officially because I adjusted to Ira - she taught me to take relationships seriously. I fulfilled Ira's wish. (Smiles.) There were also difficult moments: buying a new home, moving to a new apartment, taking out some loans, then paying them off…. But I spent all my money on my woman, on my family. I remember the episode when I received one of the first fees for a concert and used all the money to buy Ira a mink coat. We went into the store, she thought we would buy some kind of jacket... And I had already chosen a fur coat for her in advance. The happiest moment is, of course, the birth of a son.

There are always many temptations in the artistic environment. Were you jealous of each other? Irina: Naturally, I was jealous of Lesha - I’m a terrible owner. (Smiles.) Success came to him at a time when I was sitting at home with the child, and he was the center of attention. A real boom began for “Potap and Nastya” - there were a lot of beauties hanging around Lesha... Before Andryusha was born, I worked in a bank for 10 years and was not used to sitting at home. I felt uncomfortable. I did not return to the bank and decided to work with my husband. I started doing PR, signing contracts, organizing concerts... Alexey: In general, Ira is very calm and balanced. Yes, she became popular after our relationship ended. Before that, she was in my shadow, working for a common cause. And of course there was jealousy, it always exists when people love. Ira is a very sexy woman, half of Kyiv has been running and running after her: businessmen, bandits, cool dudes... She is energetically very strong, filled with feminine energy.

How did you decide to divorce? Was it mutual? Irina: It doesn’t happen that you wake up and realize it’s time to get a divorce. Love falls apart bit by bit. At first we argued, and then we sat down and talked. We decided to live separately and see what happens. I admit, we honestly tried to save the marriage. But after trying a couple of times, we decided to build something new. Alexey: Change is always difficult. But I wasn’t afraid of change, I was afraid of not taking this step. Now we understand that he was correct. Did the divorce somehow affect your joint business? Irina: Some people expect that after breaking up our business will fall apart. Can't wait! There will be no Hollywood divorce with showdowns either! All passions subsided five years ago. Alexey: For me, this is not a divorce, our relationship has just moved in a different direction. For the sake of some work issues, personal ambitions were abandoned, because we had been working for so long on our dream: to create a company that carries out the entire cycle of work in show business.

How did you tell your children about the divorce? Alexey: The children didn’t notice him. Natasha is already an adult, she understands everything, she already has a boyfriend... We didn’t say anything to Andryukha. The children stayed with Ira. But as an artist, dad is constantly on tour, so nothing has changed for the children. I give them all my free time! Irina: We managed to get a divorce without scandals and division of property. We talked to our daughter Natasha. Andryusha also understands that dad and mom are not together, but this was not a trauma for him - after all, Lesha had been away on tour all the time before and was rarely at home. By the way, Andrey sometimes says: “I have two dads and many grandfathers and grandmothers.” He considers my first family to be his family, and we still communicate well. In general, I believe that a woman should unite. Even if you are divorced, why end the relationship? You just need to move on. On my birthday, my first husband, my second husband, my new boyfriend are sitting at the table... We get along great. This is ideal. (Smiles.) Spouses often accumulate grievances against each other. Do you have them? Or have you dotted all the i's? Alexey: When we broke up, maybe there were grievances, but now there are none. The good we've had outweighs the bad. We just didn’t understand each other the way we understand now.

Give advice to readers who are going through similar things on how to maintain respect and normal relationships after breaking up with a partner and not get bogged down in squabbles. Irina: Stop feeling sorry for yourself and move on with your life. My friend once said the following thing: “Ira, think that three months will pass and you will forget how painful it was for you now.” So I advise you to look forward and not look back. You can't save something that no longer exists. Love yourself and everything will work out for you. Alexey: I am an emotional person, and emotions often lead me to wrong actions. But it is important to understand: time passes, and all emotions and grievances fade into the background. You need to learn to forgive. This is my main advice. And don't get hung up on the showdown. We need to move on with our lives! I could never have thought that I would part with Ira like this and wish her maximum happiness in her personal life. I did everything so that the woman who gave me so many years of her life and gave me a son would not hold a grudge against me. What are you grateful to each other for? Alexey: I am grateful to Ira for our three children: Natasha, whom we raised together, Andryusha - our most brilliant work - and our company, which we continue to develop. Irina: I am grateful to Alexey for his creativity, for Andryusha, for teaching me how to cook cheesecakes. We were never bored! I must admit that both Lesha and I are not family people. We did not tie each other to home, to everyday life... Family in the traditional sense is something that I never really had. My husbands (Irina’s first husband is musician Yuri Gorovoy - Ed.) are creative personalities, so standard family life - with trips to the dacha, home-cooked dinners, vegetable gardens - is alien to me. At the same time, I have family values: children, relatives are sacred. I am like a chicken that warms loved ones under its wing. (Laughs.)

Are you open to new relationships? Irina: Yes! I want to be called correctly - Irina Gorovaya. And not Potap’s wife, as is often written in news headlines. I am a successful producer, a professional, and I want this to be taken into account. But not every partner is suitable for me. I can’t imagine myself next to a male businessman or a teacher, a scientist, a mathematician... I’m used to a creative atmosphere, I feel good with creative people. Alexey for me was a bright cloud that I looked at with bated breath! When I met him, he had a huge hayer on his head, he came in mustard-colored shorts, he was a flying boy. I won’t say that I fell in love with his eyes or hands - I fell in love with his hooligan image. Alexey: Ira and I separated a long time ago as a man and a woman, and we have a personal life separate from each other. I would like our new halves to find a common language too. But this is already some kind of idyll...

“My son doesn’t want to talk about divorce at all,” shares Irina Gorovaya. - It’s as if she doesn’t exist. Once we were standing with Lesha, he hugged me and kissed me on the cheek, and my son: “Hey, you don’t need to kiss. Hold on to your hand—you’ll have other men to kiss!” However, Andryusha is sometimes jealous, because for him dad is the main authority in life. They have a special connection. As soon as Lesha has a free minute, he immediately comes to us. Plays games with Andrey, they go for walks together. Dad is always there. Our children are already accustomed to this regime.”

Lesha, what advice would you give to Irina’s new boyfriend? I laugh at men who think they can win her over easily. But she was Potap’s Wife! Ira is something else: she is smart, beautiful, sexy, and knows her worth. She needs a strong man. To conquer her, you don’t need to be rich and famous, you just need to be a Real Man! Ira, what advice would you give to Alexey’s new beloved? I will not give advice to Lesha’s chosen one. Let her figure it out herself. (Laughs.) I’ll just wish her good luck and I’ll be happy for Alexey if the girl makes him happy. Are you ready to get married again? Alexey: I don’t call what we had a marriage. There was love. And this is the main thing for me! I love music, women and children. I am always ready to have children. If this is important for my woman in marriage, so be it. Irina: It’s not a problem for me to have several husbands. They actually told me five! And I have enough for everyone, because I love to love. (Smiles.)

Producer activity

Back in 2010, Alexey Potapenko, together with Ira Gorova, created a production company representing the duet “Potap and Nastya”, “Time and Glass”, singer Arkady Laikin, the Ukrainian electronic music group “Brains” and Michelle Andrade. Irina manages the work of the production center office and resolves all financial issues. And Alexey is a songwriter, screenwriter and director of videos for these projects. Currently, MOZGI Production is engaged in all stages of production of music videos and multimedia advertising.

An online store for official project products was opened. Under the “MOZGI WEAR” label, a large number of clothes and accessories with branded logos are presented.

In addition, Potap and Vadim Lisitsa together founded the professional recording studio “MOZGI/FOXX Studios”, where they have already recorded more than 100 hits, and have also established long-term cooperation with a large number of top artists.

Biography

Alexey Andreevich Potapenko was born on 09/08/81 in Kyiv. The future singer’s mother was a professional athlete, and his father was a military man. Since childhood, Alexey has been interested in sports, and even received his first education as a physical education teacher. However, he didn’t stop there; he enrolled as an economist and became a master in this field. The versatile nature of the future star led to the fact that while still in school he began to get involved in music, but then neither he himself nor his parents could have thought that this particular area would become his main one. However, immediately after graduating from his second university, he began to actively study music and participated in various projects and groups.

The turning point in his career was the duet with Nastya Kamenskikh, which was called “Potap and Nastya”. Subsequently, Potap was fruitfully engaged in producing and organized a number of successful projects. The singer is popular both in Ukraine and in Russia and has more than once distanced himself from pressing issues related to the crisis in relations between these countries.

Roles in films and television projects

Since 2008, Alexey Potapenko has been a presenter and served on the jury of many television programs. He actively participated in such television projects as:

1. "Karaoke against the People."
2. "I love Ukraine."
3. "Superstar".
4. "Guten Morgen".
5. "Battle of the Choirs"
6. "Disco Muz-TV".
7. "New wave".
8. "Dancing with the Stars".

In addition, the famous Ukrainian rapper starred in some films. Their names:

1. "Heavenly Relatives"
2. "Rzhevsky against Napoleon."
3. "Little Red Riding Hood".
4. "Crazy Wedding"
5. "New Year's Matchmakers."

Today Potap not only continues to create musical hits, but also shares his experience. In 2020, the artist was a coach of the second show “The Voice. Children”, and in 2020 - a project called “Champions League”.

In 2020, the rapper released a children's book “Pan Izhak”, written in Ukrainian. The literary publication provides information about hedgehogs starting from deep history. The book contains interesting, unobtrusive, maximum adapted for children facts about the characteristics and origin of the animal.

In the future, the showbiz star plans to create the Brothers Gavs holding company.

Potap stole his best friend's wife

The promotion of Nastya Kamenskikh was financed by the owner of the M1 TV channel - Verkhovna Rada deputy Nikolai Bagraev

The promotion of Nastya Kamenskikh was financed by the owner of the M1 TV channel - Verkhovna Rada deputy Nikolai Bagraev

We recently talked about the attacks that the favorites of the Russian public, singers Ani LORAK (Karolina KUEK) and Taisiya POVALIY (No. 45, 2014), have been recently exposed to in their homeland, Ukraine. As it turned out, fellow countrymen also do not like another popular Ukrainian performer in Russia - rapper POTAP (Alexey POTAPENKO), member of the duet “Potap and Nastya”. True, the negative attitude towards him has several other reasons that are not related to the current events in “Nezalezhnaya”.

that Potap’s balls will be torn off someday in Ukraine — And not at all because he constantly goes to perform in Moscow. He simply behaves dishonestly in life. I have known him since the times when Lech was curly, long-haired and could hide behind a mop. Potap openly plagiarized all the musical material that brought him success: “Not a Couple” was copied zero to zero from “The Art of Getting Jumped” by the American group “De La Soul”, “In Nature” - from “Don’t Need No Help” » rapper Young Buck , etc.

When pressed, he insisted that he legally bought the rights to the music from his friends in the States. Although in Ukraine for some reason he registered the authorship of this music as himself, without indicating the real authors. And accordingly, he took all the rewards for the performance.

Or take the ugly story with his wife.
If anyone doesn’t know, Potap began his career with the rap projects “UGO” and “Vkhid u Zminnomu Vzutti” (“Entrance in replaceable shoes”). His partner and close friend was the bald, stocky boy Yura Gorovoy , who performed under the stage name Yugo . So, Potap’s current wife, Ira, was married to this Yura at that time. But she did not refuse others. Imagine the situation: the current husband and the ex, who was not yet an ex, fucked the same chick for a long time and at the same time every evening, as if nothing had happened, they went on stage together. This is just beyond the bounds!

Ira already had a daughter from Yura (Potap in interviews often calls her his own, although at the time of the girl’s birth he was barely 16 years old. - M.F. ) . Then Lekha successfully developed a duet with Nastya Kamenskikh. Ira immediately realized: “Oh, let’s go matzo!” She quickly got pregnant and gave birth to a child, Potap. After that, Yura was safely drained. Now he works quietly in clubs with his material. And Ira eventually became not only Potap’s official wife, but also headed his production center. True, when she opens her mouth, you understand that nothing worthwhile will come out of it, and you want to shove something into it to keep her quiet. In general, except for complete dirt and greed, there is nothing around Potap.

Took off my panties

The rapper's partner in the duet, Nastya Zhmur , performing under the more euphonious surname Kamensky, was also credited with dubious sexual relationships. Moreover, with a woman - childhood friend Yana Shvets , whom everyone knows as the former lead singer of VIA Gra Eva Bushmina . However, despite this, Nastya is spoken of in the Ukrainian show community with much more sympathy than Potap.

“It was a pleasure to deal with Kamensky,” one of the former employees of the Ukrainian tabloid Blik, which was closed several years ago, once admitted to me. “Unlike Potap and his wife, who often argued with us, she always made contact easily and was ready for almost anything.

For example, once Nastya not only provided us with her panties as a prize for readers, but also agreed to take them off in front of the camera so that no one would have any doubts that this piece of clothing really belonged to her. Initially, Nastya’s promotion was financed by a production company that belonged to the creator of the international festival “Tavria Games” and the owner of the Ukrainian music TV channel M1 - Verkhovna Rada deputy Nikolai Bagraev . This company was led by producer Ruslan Minzhinsky . But he couldn’t manage to promote Nastya. Then Potap drew attention to her and suggested working together. To promote the duet, they, together with Minzhinsky, created a new one. True, it did not last long. When things started to take off, Potap and his wife, who manages all his affairs, quarreled with Minzhinsky and began to work independently under their own label, MOZGI Entertainment. What happened between them remained completely unknown. Minzhinsky stubbornly avoided making any comments on this matter. Just like Potapenko. But in private conversations, Minzhinsky more than once complained that he was treated very unkindly.

Marital status and children

In Alexey’s personal life, everything did not work out very well. Potap's wife from 1999 to 2014 was Irina Gorovaya. They just met. They began to spend a lot of time together, the guy told Ira about his hobbies, love affairs, and she actively participated in his fate. Now they have friendly relations, and the girl also holds the position of producer in their joint recording company.

The divorce in 2014 was a deliberate act, since both spouses had long had a personal life on the side. About Potap's children : he gave birth to a son. This happened in 2008. The boy was named Andrei. For Irina, marriage with Alexei was the second; in addition to her son, she is raising a daughter, Natasha, from her first husband, Yuri Gorovoy. Alexey Potapenko’s own son is a creative and active child. In 2020, he took part in hosting a large-scale event - the “Future of the Nation” award ceremony.

To date, the artist has not legalized his relationship with anyone. Fans of Potap assume that he has an affair with Anastasia Kamenskikh, but in fact there is no official confirmation of this information. Although, according to Alexey’s mother, Nastya is his muse .

Despite the fact that Nastya performs as a solo singer, outside of work they spend a lot of time together. Anastasia and Alexey play sports with a common coach, go on vacation together, and the artist does not stop writing Kamensky songs.

Thus, after reading Potap’s Biography, we can conclude that he is a talented rapper, author of popular songs and music producer. A strong love for music and hard work helped the showbiz star gain success and popular recognition.

Potap and Nastya Kamenskikh got married

The celebration was planned in one of the Kyiv restaurants, the halls of which were specially closed for an important event for the artists. The first guests began to arrive at the Fabius establishment by 16:00. The ambience literally put the guests in a romantic mood right from the start - the panoramic terrace opened up to a view of the pine forest.

Potap and Nastya kept the details of their cherished day secret for a long time. All that was known was that the lovers turned to an event agency, and the newlyweds spent about five thousand dollars on the toastmaster alone.

The ex-wife of 38-year-old Potap, Irina Gorovaya, was also invited to the celebration. But the fans didn’t see the artist’s son at the wedding. Previously, Nastya Kamenskikh repeatedly admitted that she dreams of a big family and children. It is quite possible that the artist will soon please her fans with news about her pregnancy.

For the important event, 32-year-old Kamenskikh chose an elegant straight-cut dress with a sexy neckline. The outfit was richly decorated with lace and precious stones. Fans suggest that Nastya spent several thousand dollars on her wedding look. But Potap did not change his usual style: he came to the event in a beige suit and sneakers.

The lovers said their vows under a very unusual arch, which was made of greenery and feather-like plants.

Recently, acquaintances of the lovers reported that after the celebration, the newly-made spouses will go on a honeymoon to one of the hot countries, and will return from the trip only on June 3.

The bride and groom decided to spend a joyful day in the company of loved ones and stars of Ukrainian show business. Among the guests are the Babkin family, Ekaterina Osadchaya and Yuri Gorbunov, Nadezhda Dorofeeva and Vladimir Dantes, and many others. Members of the group “Time and Glass” admitted that they had been preparing for the event for a long time, but were forced to leave it immediately after the official part. “Zhitomir, we are coming to your concert. We are a little late, as we were present at an epoch-making event. But we are really in a hurry to come to you,” the musicians said.

Nastya and Potap carefully thought out not only their images, but also the interior of the hall in which the banquet was taking place. They are original decorative elements in the form of fringes hanging directly from the ceiling. There were candles and white roses on the tables, and the restaurant itself was decorated with garlands.

The couple did not indicate their names on the invitation cards, limiting themselves to hints. “Finally, the good bear will find his priceless pebble. Let's keep this a secret,” the sheet said.

By the way, despite many years of rumors, Potap and Nastya only this morning stopped hiding their relationship by releasing a touching video for the song “Constant”. In the new composition, they openly explained why they did not advertise their feelings for so long, appearing on camera in wedding dresses.

The popular singer Olga Polyakova was also present at the wedding. She conducted her own report from the holiday, talking about how the stars were having fun. The actress hastened to congratulate the happy newlyweds.

“You have long deserved a wedding. I want you to be always together, to be happy,” Polyakova shared her emotions.

According to Kamensky’s assistant, the singer does not want to draw too much attention to her personal life. “In all her previous interviews in the media you can hear that she is happy. This is the main thing you need to know,” the insider said.

One of the first to speak at the wedding was Tina Karol, a longtime friend of the newlyweds. She wholeheartedly congratulated the lovers and performed several hits. There was also a musical number from the happy groom. He presented the very composition “Constant”, which he dedicated to Nastya. The lovers did not prepare a complex first dance, but simply went on stage hugging and sang together, which seemed especially touching to both guests and fans.

The stars also presented a new variation of the song “Not a Couple,” in which they stated that now they are definitely a couple and will be together for the rest of their lives. Potap and Nastya performed to the accompaniment of a musical group, they danced a lot and literally glowed with happiness.

The first rumors of an affair and Potap’s divorce

The duet was gaining popularity, Potap and Nastya’s songs were known by heart, and interest in them was increasing. Everyone was especially interested in whether they were together as a couple. At that time, Potap was married to Irina Gorova, who gave birth to his son Andrei in 2008, so few would have thought that he could date Nastya. But already in 2013, the first evidence appeared that Nastya and Potap were not only colleagues.

Then footage appeared on television showing that the artists were vacationing together in Cuba. The footage that was leaked online and on television shows a couple very similar to Potap and Nastya tenderly hugging and kissing at one of the resorts in Cuba.

The couple denied all rumors about the relationship. Nastya then confirmed that she was indeed vacationing in Cuba, but completely alone. Since then, the rumors have not stopped and the network regularly talked about the artists being together. Therefore, few were surprised by the announcement by Potap and his wife Irina Gorova that they had divorced. The ex-spouses announced this to the public in 2020, noting that they had not been officially together for two years.

Soon after the former spouses announced their divorce, fans noticed that Nastya began wearing a wedding ring on her ring finger. Everyone suspected that Potap proposed to her, but for another three long years they hid their relationship with their loved one, refusing to comment on anything.

In 2020, Potap and Nastya announced that they were putting their duet on pause. By the way, this also shook up the network, and many assumed that the artists were stopping the duo’s activities due to the singer’s pregnancy and their imminent wedding. But instead, both started solo careers, although they were very supportive of each other. At the same time, fans increasingly began to notice photos from the artists’ vacations, in which it was clear that they were on vacation together.
