Alla Pugacheva and Philip Kirkorov: acquaintance and the beginning of the romance
The age difference between Alla Pugacheva and Philip Kirkorov is 18 years. When Philip was a child, Alla was already performing on stage in full force. The boy looked at the TV screen in fascination and dreamed of meeting a beautiful singer.
Kirkorov was predicted to marry Pugacheva as a child. Then Philip became seriously ill and his mother took him to the great seer Vanga. She said that the boy would recover soon. However, the mother could not resist and asked who her son would marry. Vanga did not give a direct answer, but said that this would be the one he would see on TV when he returned home. When little Philip woke up at home after the trip, Pugacheva’s concert was shown on TV. Then, of course, no one took it seriously.
Alla Pugacheva and Philip Kirkorov met in 1988 at the program of the famous poet Ilya Reznik. At that time, Philip was only 21 years old. He recalls that he fell in love with the Prima Donna at first sight. Alla also noticed the talented young man and invited him to participate in her program “Christmas Meetings.”
From the first days of their acquaintance, Kirkorov began to court Pugacheva, showing her all sorts of attentions. At that time, Diva was still married to producer Evgeniy Boldin. Alla recalls that Philip was very courteous, well-mannered and gallant. For a long time, the artist did not give any hope to her young boyfriend. But he didn't give up. Only 6 years later, when the Diva divorced her third husband, an affair began between Alla Pugacheva and Philip Kirkorov.

The celebrity couple decided to get married soon after the start of their relationship. Alla Borisovna says that she suddenly realized at one moment that she wanted to connect her life with Kirkorov. When he once again confessed his love to her, the Diva jokingly said, “If you love me, get married!” But this did not frighten the loving Philip at all.
The wedding of Alla Pugacheva and Philip Kirkorov took place on March 15, 1994 in St. Petersburg. Then the whole country, without looking up from their screens, watched the luxurious ceremony. Immediately after the wedding, the star family gave several concerts in the northern capital.
After 2 months, Alla Pugacheva and Philip Kirkorov decided to get married. The ceremony took place in Jerusalem at the Trinity Cathedral of the Russian Spiritual Mission. Alla recalls that she really wanted to get married and find confidence, stability in her soul, harmony and light. Philip was a little afraid of such a step, “because it’s forever.” The prima donna says that they had difficulty getting permission to get married, since she already had 3 marriages behind her. However, a beautiful ceremony still took place.
The first years of Alla Pugacheva and Philip Kirkorov's life together were carefree and happy. The couple traveled all over the world together, enjoyed each other, gave concerts and developed their creative potential. It seemed that they were made for each other and would always be together.
Philip and Alla broke up seven years ago
A typhoon, earthquake and tsunami taken together could not have excited the Russian media more than the news of the divorce of PUGACHEVA and KIRKOROV. Still would! The Family, which was usually written with a capital letter, has officially broken up. The leaders of the most powerful musical clan in Russia announced that their marriage had exhausted itself. Thus, the fairy tale about “Reverse Cinderella” ended: the unfortunate young Troubadour, madly in love with the Queen and achieving reciprocity... Meanwhile, regular readers of Express Gazeta remember very well that we were never mistaken about the strength of this union. And, unfortunately, they turned out to be right.
According to Philip’s classmates, even as a child he dressed in a woman’s dress and danced in front of the mirror, singing songs of his future wife. Then he grew up and realized that he only needed HER. Many tried to accuse him of deceit. For example, the only female parodist of Kirkorov, Angelina Greer, innocently admitted to us in an interview: “Honestly, as many times as I have been in the Kirkorovs’ house, I have never heard any talk that Philip has some kind of mad love for Alla.”

But if Angelina’s remark can be questioned, then the fact that Pugacheva walked down the aisle without love is unlikely. The diva's press secretary, Alexey Sumin, recorded Alla Borisovna's strange toast, which she made several years ago on tour in Dnepropetrovsk:
“I now want to drink to an amazing man, who since the age of eight has never loved anyone except me and himself.” Many people say about him that he is a homosexual, and all sorts of other things... But I know that he is a narcissist. A person who loves me in himself and himself in me. When I married him, he was told: “I DO NOT LOVE YOU!” But now my husband loves me so much that it’s simply impossible not to love him... So why, one wonders, did they have to organize this super show?! The answer is obvious: the news of the “wedding of the century” raised the fading popularity of 45-year-old Pugacheva to the skies. And her 28-year-old husband became an overnight superstar. — With this wedding, Alla scattered almost the entire pop elite and Philippa wedged herself in there! — Eduard Hanok, the author of the song “It’ll happen again,” stated, throwing up his hands.
The wedding night
Express Gazeta wrote more about the wedding celebrations on March 15, 1994 than anyone else. After registration in St. Petersburg, in the pompous Wedding Palace on the English Embankment, the newlyweds went to the fashionable restaurant “Kat”. Because of Lent, the menu was modest: pickled white mushrooms (the favorite delicacy of the guest of honor - Mayor Sobchak), Georgian snacks - lobio, satsivi (Alla loves it very much), fish pies and stuffed fish. The caviar was ordered personally by the owner of the establishment, Count Sergei Osintsev, and it was extremely cheap. Georgian and French wines flowed like a river. Even the St. Petersburg bandits, who refused to leave the restaurant and shamelessly stared at the celebrities all evening, could not spoil the mood.

“Even Sobchak’s security was afraid to get involved with them!” - Osintsev recalled in an exclusive interview for EG. — But the former chief bodyguard of the St. Petersburg mayor, Viktor Zolotov, now heads Putin’s security...
It is unlikely that then, in the midst of the fun, it occurred to someone that this marriage... has no legal force! The fact is that, in accordance with Article 150 of the Code of the Russian Federation on Marriage and Family, registration must be carried out at the place of residence of one of the spouses or their parents. Alla and Philip might as well get married in Las Vegas! In addition, Pugacheva’s registration stamp was placed in the “Children” column, since there was no longer any free space in the “Marital status” column. As for the first wedding night, which took place on Kamenny Island in the elite mansion “Blue Dacha,” it has already become overgrown with legends. Sources close to the Family claim that the following funny dialogue took place between the bride and groom: “Darling, will you mind if I refrain from performing marital duties today?” - Well, what are you doing, dear! For this I will love you even more!

Favorite driver
There have been conversations about Philip's “wrong” orientation for a long time. The famous Moscow journalist Artur Gasparyan recalled: - 1994, Ovation Award. At this moment, a rumor spreads: the engagement ceremony of Philip Kirkorov and Alla Pugacheva has just taken place. And they are heading to “Russia” in a group of three. To which producer Aizenshpis, approaching our get-together, sarcastically said: “Pugacheva’s x... has probably grown!” Later, the scandalous bomb was blown up by the Latvian newspaper “Privata dzive” (“Private Life”), which published an interview with a Riga prostitute. The guy claimed that he communicated intimately with Kirkorov in room 705 of the Radisson Sas Daugava hotel, and in a sadomaso style.

And of course, Philip’s attachment to his personal manager, superman Kirill Kirin, caused rumors. Whom Kirkorov later fired allegedly for theft and drugs, taking his place in another handsome man - Mitya Burlakov.
In such situations, Alla always resolutely defended her husband. But there were plenty of rumors about her during their strange marriage with Philip. They wrote, for example, how Pugacheva had an affair with her own driver and bodyguard Anatoly. Alla's Lincoln, led by a bodyguard, appeared in the most unexpected places and at the most inopportune times. Alla didn’t even invite her faithful housekeeper Lyusya to the banquet at the Metropol in honor of her 50th birthday. But Anatoly got bloody drunk there. And he threw in the car the Order “For Merit to the Fatherland,” which Yeltsin had presented to Alla the day before. But the favorite got away with everything. However, all this happened later. Until 1996, the couple lived peacefully in an apartment on Zemlyanoy Val, “glued together” from five apartments with a total area of 470.8 square meters. meters. And they gave the impression of a happy married couple.
Gynecological chair
At the end of 1995, Alla Borisovna suddenly disappeared from the scene. Express Newspaper has learned that the superstar wants to have a baby. Many of our colleagues were then sure that this was an advertising campaign. But can’t a Living Legend desire normal human happiness?! At least in a marriage of convenience... Ksenia Yavorovskaya, a senior researcher at the Clinical Embryology Laboratory of the Scientific Center for Obstetrics, Gynecology and Perinatology, volunteered to help Alla in this delicate matter. In an interview with our publication, she was optimistic about the upcoming venture:
KSENIA YAVOROVSKAYA: in her test tubes there is Philip’s unused sperm |
— If a woman has a healthy uterus and ovaries, I don’t see any problems. There is such a thing as biological age. If you evaluate the health of ten women aged 46, you will see that it is completely different. And at 62 you can give birth.
But after several attempts at artificial insemination, Alla, unfortunately, fails to become a mother. According to Alla Borisovna, discussing this topic for her is like sitting in a gynecological chair. At the beginning of 2001, she admitted to our correspondent: “We want a baby, don’t we?!” One desire is not enough, you understand! So I better want to spend the rest of my days... After a two-year absence, Alla returned to concert activity. But the relationship between the spouses began to crack. — In the summer of 1998, I couldn’t help but feel that Alla and Philip were on the verge of breaking up. - says Alla’s press secretary and biographer Alexey Sumin. Express Gazeta carefully studied the schedule of the star couple from August 98 to August 99. It turned out that the artists spend most of their time apart. When Pugacheva performed in London, Philippe sang in Monte Carlo. Alla is on a tour of Russia, and at this time Kirkorov is rocking it with Tarkan in Turkey... They practically never appear together at social events. It was during this period that the prima donna moved from her apartment on Zemlyanoy Val to a newly built palace on Istra.
Final divorce
Since then, the couple have actually lived apart for seven years. Pugacheva - in the Istra mansion or in the Balchug hotel. Philip - on Zemlyanoy Val. Although in public, in order to extract the last dividends from the dying marriage project, they sometimes appeared together. But interest in both of them quickly waned. The joint business project, the musical Chicago, failed. Alla Borisovna's fictitious romance with young Max Galkin, in which, apparently, an intimate relationship arose at the last stage, ceased to excite the gullible man in the street.

— Alla and I have everything through our ass! - Kirkorov lamented on a cool June evening in 2003 at the Camilla casino in Moscow.
His experiments in promoting Nastya Stotskaya and Angelica Agurbash were of little concern to Pugacheva. Alla and Philip's bank accounts were “divorced” much earlier than their owners. The divorce took place back in March, but it was officially announced only now. Want to know why? A couple of issues ago, Express Newspaper reported that Kirkorov was filming a new video for the song “Ordinary History” in Kyiv. Having recently carefully studied its text, our music reviewer Mikhail Filimonov almost fell out of his chair. This is a sad song about the singer's divorce from his beloved woman! You simply can’t think of a better way to promote a video, make it a super hit and return to the top of the pop horizon. If it’s a marriage of convenience, then divorce – even more so!
PRIEST'S COMMENT
Pugacheva and Kirkorov were married in the Holy Land, in Jerusalem, in the Trinity Cathedral.
Metropolitan Kirill himself blessed Alla Borisovna for her wedding after her fourth marriage at her written request. But how will the Russian Orthodox Church now look at the civil divorce of married people? With this question, we turned to our good old friend - Sergei Starakodomsky, deacon of the Church of the Intercession in the village of Ruzino near Moscow. “Divorce is a sin in any case,” said Sergei. - And, as a rule, a consequence of sin. For this, Orthodox laity may even be excommunicated from communion for some time. That is, in layman's terms, from the church. Nowhere in the Holy Scriptures will you find the Lord blessing any division. Therefore, Alla and Philip should repent in confession. This, of course, will not restore the marriage, but it will restore their relationship with God. By the way, the sound engineer of the once prosperous Viktor GLAZKOV claimed that in 1994 Alla Borisovna did not immediately choose KIRKOROV. “Personally, Kostya Kinchev told me that Pugacheva proposed marriage to him for advertising purposes,” Victor told Express Gazeta. - But he refused. Alla offered the same to other musicians.

Alla Pugacheva and Philip Kirkorov: the reason for the divorce
Officially, Alla Pugacheva and Philip Kirkorov divorced in November 2005. However, long before this, the couple did not live together, and Alla was already dating comedian and TV presenter Maxim Galkin.
What is the reason for the divorce of Alla Pugacheva and Philip Kirkorov? Many believe that the breakup occurred due to the Diva’s new hobby. However, the family had problems even without this. Galkin does not consider himself a “homewrecker,” since the relationship between Philip and Alla was already damaged at that time.
Alla Pugacheva and Philip Kirkorov themselves do not name the reason for the divorce. However, the King of Russian Pop once admitted that he was to blame, since he could not make his woman happy.
According to some sources, Philip had huge debts after an unsuccessful investment in the musical “Chicago”. Financial problems made him irritable and aggressive. He lashed out at Alla more than once and brought her to tears. In addition, the Diva is tired of paying her husband's bills.
Another reason for the divorce of Alla Pugacheva and Philip Kirkorov is the singer’s immaturity. Alla Borisovna has already talked about this, calling her ex-husband “a big child.” In principle, this is not surprising with such a huge age difference.
An affair with Maxim Galkin is just an indirect reason for the divorce of Alla Pugacheva and Philip Kirkorov. According to Philip, he himself introduced Maxim to Alla, not knowing how it would ultimately turn out. Pugacheva came with Galkin to pick up the divorce certificate. After that, they went to a restaurant “to celebrate the singer’s freedom.” Kirkorov had a very hard time with the divorce, being depressed for a long time.
Now Alla Pugacheva and Philip Kirkorov are family friends. They have an excellent relationship, and there is no jealousy on Maxim’s part. Over 11 years of marriage, Alla Pugacheva and Philip Kirkorov became truly family and remain so to this day.

Fans compared Kirkorov's children with Alla Pugacheva's twins
After his divorce from the Diva of domestic show business, Philip Kirkorov could not come to his senses for a long time. The singer suffered from loneliness and dreamed of a strong and harmonious family. It was then that the artist decided to have children; for this, the king of pop had to resort to surrogacy. The artist’s daughter Alla Victoria was born in November 2011 in Miami; this year the baby will turn seven years old. The son of Martin-Christine is only six months younger than his sister, the heir to the king of pop was born in June 2012 in the USA.
TV presenter Maxim Galkin admitted in one of his interviews that his children, like the offspring of Philip Kirkorov, are doomed to success and popularity. The fact is that the twins Harry and Lisa were born in the elite Lapino clinic near Moscow from a surrogate mother; the couple could not hide this fact from their fans.
Like Maxim Galkin, Philip Kirkorov published photographs of his children, despite the fact that many stars of domestic show business try to keep the names of their children secret and do not show their heirs to the public until the children grow up to a certain age. So, Ani Lorak hid her daughter Sofia from fans and the press for a long time. Actress Elena Zakharova hides the name of her newborn daughter.

Having seen new photographs of Alla-Victoria and Martin-Christina, fans rushed to compare them with the children of Alla Pugacheva. According to fans, 4-year-old Harry and Lisa are much more serious than the heirs of Philip Kirkorov, and most likely deprived of childhood. In the video, the kids are splashing in the pool and enjoying their holiday in Israel.
“This is my happiness and joy!! Sun, air and water in Israel are our best friends!! And let the whole world wait until children’s laughter and joy are heard,” Kirkorov wrote on his microblog.

Internet users noted that the little heirs of Philip Kirkorov know how to enjoy every day and, like all children, play pranks and have fun, unlike Alla Pugacheva’s twins.
“Beautiful sweet children!! God bless the whole family”, “Cool, well done!! This is how you need to relax together! Well done dad”, “Beautiful children, how they look like dad, and Alla-Victoria looks very much like Philip’s mother!! Loveliness, not children”, “Happy children!!! It’s nice to watch, sweethearts!”, “That’s why they are children, to play around! Galkins, that’s why they don’t look like children! With your non-childish conversations... Especially Lisa”, “Children are happiness and a lightning rod from all problems”, “You have very beautiful children Philip!!,” fans commented on Kirkorov’s photo.
