Nadezhda Obolentseva: “If you are not annoyed by your husband’s shortcomings, then everything will work out”
Nadezhda Obolentseva and Rezo Gigineishvili
Last week, Rezo Gigineishvili married 35-year-old Nadezhda Obolentseva. The lovers got married in one of the Moscow registry offices, and later organized a celebration for friends and family. On the eve of the celebration, the businesswoman answered questions from her own old interviews. As it turned out, the star’s views have changed a lot over the years.
So, with age, Obolentseva learned to appreciate others not only for their merits, but also for their tangible shortcomings. The businesswoman, who already has two unsuccessful marriages behind her, is sure that you can create a strong family only with a man who does not irritate you in everyday trifles.
“Everyone has the same good qualities. The main thing is that people agree on their shortcomings. If you are not annoyed by the shortcomings of your husband, girlfriend, or employees, then you will succeed,” says Obolentseva.
Let us recall that the celebrity’s secret romance began to be discussed immediately after the director’s divorce from Nadezhda Mikhalkova. Soon the lovers began going out together, finally confirming the fans’ guesses. On social networks, 37-year-old Rezo occasionally confesses his love to his chosen one, considering her a spontaneous and sincere person.
Nadezhda emphasizes that, despite living in luxury, she does not consider herself a member of high society, admits that she does not like to label others and values a person’s intellectual level much more than the size of a wallet.
“The terrible word “elite.” I don’t consider myself one of them. I am not interested in adapting to some terminology, to some vision of a person. People are not things, they cannot be put into different categories, like dresses or socks,” the star emphasized.
Nadezhda often attends social parties with her best friend Svetlana Bondarchuk
Nowadays, the businesswoman and the director practically never separate. Obolentseva accompanies Gigineishvili at important cinematic events, and the couple often attends social events.
According to the newly-made wife, building a relationship is a complex daily process that requires patience. That is why Nadezhda is sure that you can forgive your loved ones almost anything. “We all have shortcomings, some unpleasant stories of our own. I would like my loved ones to also forgive me for my weaknesses. I don’t want to swear that I definitely won’t be able to forgive. Still, you never know what life has in store for you,” the star shared.
The chosen one Rezo Gigineishvili won the case against her ex-oligarch husband
Speaking with Tatler, Obolentseva admitted that she is happy with the way her life is shaping up. A businesswoman is proud not only of her personal achievements, but also of her friends who are always there both in difficult times and in happy periods.

Magnificent wedding
Marriage is the brightest page in the biography of Nadezhda Obolentseva. Her husband’s age, by the way, is 16 years older than her own.
So, this grandiose event took place in 2014 on the Italian Lake Como. The luxurious villa was surrounded by the splendor of many roses. And the wedding cake was decorated with what seemed like a million of these flowers, albeit made from cream.
A wealthy groom purchased three dresses for his chosen one’s most fabulous day. One from Russian fashion designer Valentin Yudashkin, as well as two outfits exclusively designed by Dolce&Gabbana. Nadezhda walked to the altar in lace splendor from Italian designers, the absolute decoration of which was a chic veil.

The wedding rings of the newlyweds were made by Graff to special order. The bride's ring was decorated with a huge diamond, and the groom's ring was made according to Nadezhda's personal sketch.
The official part was followed by a banquet. A large number of the richest and most famous guests were invited to the celebration. It seemed that all of bohemian Moscow had flown in for this celebration. Among those present one could see model and Miss World Ksenia Sukhinova, the Syutkins, singer Natalya Ionova (Glukoza), the Yudashkins family and many others.
The guests and young people were entertained by the sparkling Ivan Urgant, the sweet-voiced Eros Ramazzotti, the unpredictable Sergei Shnurov, as well as the legendary group Mumiy Troll.
Until the morning, the gastronomic tastes of the guests were satisfied with a variety of delicacies prepared by the best Italian chefs.

It is known that one of the many fans of the fatal intellectual beauty was figure skater Anton Sikharulidze, whom she left for the sake of a relationship with entrepreneur Denis Mikhailov.

Succumbing to Denis’s beautiful courtship, Nadezhda married him, but soon realized that she was never able to love him. After leaving the luxurious American mansion of her millionaire husband, Nadya returned to Moscow.

The second husband of the socialite beauty became in 2014 the owner of an even more impressive fortune than Mikhailov - Airat Iskhakov, the well-known manager of Neftegazindustriya.
The wedding ceremony took place at the foot of the Larian Mountains on the island of Como, to the altar. Nadezhda, dressed in a lace, weightless Dolce&Gabbana dress, was led by her father, and a ring from the best jewelers Graff sparkled on her finger. Among the guests at the wedding celebration were Valery Syutkin and his wife, Katya Fedun, the heir to her father’s millions, fashion designer Valentin Yudashkin, and Sergei Shnurov and Eros Ramazzotti entertained the famous guests.
Second wedding of Nadezhda Obolentseva with Airat Iskhakov
Less than two years after the wedding of Airat and Nadya, all Russian media will savor the details of their divorce, and Airat will file a lawsuit and demand 1 million dollars from his ex-wife. This rather considerable amount included the funds that the top manager transferred to the socialite beauty during the marriage and her loan for the purchase of luxury watches from Vacheron, which he paid for.
Nadezhda Obolentseva and Rezo Gigineishvili
Since 2020, Nadezhda has been in a relationship with director Rezo Gigineishvili, who gave the Russians the sitcom “The Last of the Magikians” and the film “Heat.”
The creator of the elite closed club “418”, a famous it-girl, found happiness in her personal life on her second try, and considers her first marriage a huge mistake. Nadezhda Obolentseva’s ex-husband, businessman Denis Mikhailov, literally blew away specks of dust from her at the beginning of their dizzying romance; for his sake, Nadezhda broke off her engagement to figure skater Anton Sikharulidze the day before the wedding. Denis showered her with millions of roses, gave her expensive gifts, and after the wedding surrounded her with stunning luxury. Mikhailov is a very wealthy man - the owner of a huge villa in Upper Hollywood next to the houses of Madonna and Lagutenko, a whole fleet of sports cars with a personal license plate “Denis Moscow”, but this was not enough for Nadezhda - you won’t surprise her with wealth, she herself comes from a very wealthy family .

She lacked the attention of her husband, who very rarely went out with her and put his plans above her interests. Obolentseva lived with Denis for three years, and then fled to her parents in Moscow. Nadezhda Obolentseva met her second husband by chance in a cafe, and from that very moment Airat Iskhakov, top manager of the Neftegazindustriya group, tried to win her favor. Before his eyes, important events took place in Obolentseva’s biography - he was waiting for her to break up with Sikharulidze, but at that time he did not have time to start an affair with her - Nadezhda quickly married Mikhailov. But when his beloved’s marriage fell apart, he made every effort to win her heart.

Airat, who is sixteen years older than his chosen one, was happy to throw everything at her feet. Their grand wedding took place in 2014 on the Italian Lake Como in the presence of numerous guests - all the richest and most famous personalities. For the bride, Iskhakov ordered three dresses at once - two exclusive handmade ones from Dolce&Gabbana, one from Valentin Yudashkin, and engagement rings with a Graff diamond worth more than a million euros were made to order. The guests were entertained by Sergey Shnurov, Ivan Urgant, Eros Ramazzotti, Robbie Williams, Mumiy Troll.
Villa del Balbinello, where the wedding took place, was decorated with a huge number of roses, and a million of the same ones, only cream ones, decorated the luxurious wedding cake.
I would like to hope that the second attempt to arrange her personal life will be more successful for Nadezhda. Iskhakov is an experienced financier; he graduated from the Ufa State Aviation Technical University and the Russian Academy of National Economy and Public Administration under the President of the Russian Federation. For ten years he held senior positions at Uralsib Bank, later joined the SMP Bank team and was appointed manager of its branch in Ufa. Nadezhda Obolentseva’s husband is a very wealthy man who can provide his young wife with the standard of living to which she is accustomed.
Nadezhda also does not sit idle and leads an active lifestyle. After school, she graduated from two faculties of Moscow State University - journalism and art history, worked as the first editor of the gossip column of the Russian Tatler, and recently has been involved in the affairs of her brainchild - the closed intellectual society "Club 418". Together with another co-founder of the club and her close friend Irina Kudryavtseva, she opened a branch of “418” in St. Petersburg, and is already receiving offers from other Russian cities.
Famous artists, jewelers and other creative personalities give lectures at their club.
Nadezhda Obolentseva is from a family of diplomats who lived with them for a long time in Central America. Talking about her family, she always emphasizes that she is very friendly with her parents, and wants her children to be also close to her in the future. In contact with
