Childhood and youth
Nastya was born in Moscow and became the third child in the family of architect Elena and lawyer Sergei Kochetkov. She has an older brother and sister, but none of the singer’s relatives followed a creative path. Anastasia herself received a prestigious education at the Moscow School of Economics, and also took a course in vocal training.

Nastya Kochetkova as a child with her mother
At school public events, Kochetkova always performed in the leading roles, and once even performed Celine Dion’s composition “My Heart Will Go On” from the film “Titanic.” After receiving her matriculation certificate, Nastya Kochetkova became a student at the Institute of Cinematography, where she studied in the workshop of Vladimir Fokin.
The girl managed to realize her talent as an actress by participating in two Russian film projects - the youth comedy “Heat” and the musical film “The Last Chord.” Having moved to Miami, Nastya continued to master acting at the New York Film Academy.
“I TOOK A PICTURE WITH JOLIE, BUT DID NOT FIND TIME FOR MY DAUGHTER”
Kochetkova and Gigineishvili’s daughter Marusa is now 11 years old.
Recently, the girl moved to her mother in America - before that she lived with Nastya’s parents for a couple of years while she was settling into a new country. Masha calls her new husband Miguel “Papa Americano.” They even correspond with Rezo. Masha loves her father, I constantly tell her that he loves her too. But my soul hurts for my daughter,” Nastya sighs. — Rezo was recently in America, took a photo with Angelina Jolie, but didn’t find time to visit Masha.
Did Masha see him while she lived in Moscow? I wonder what he himself would answer to such a question. You look at Instagram and they seem to be communicating. And he will take his daughter once, take different photographs, and then just post them... Masha is smart, she understands everything and, of course, worries about this.
Marusya is unfamiliar with her brother and sister, her father’s children from his marriage to Nadya Mikhalkova. Nastya did not want to cause her additional pain, and Rezo was never eager to bring the heirs together.
In the summer, Anastasia Kochetkova will turn 30. She dreams of timing her wedding to coincide with this date - to marry Miguel in an Orthodox church in Cuba.
We didn’t want to get married to Rezo right away, we put it off. And as life has shown, they did the right thing. We must first see how life will turn out, and then we must answer for this before God...
Anastasia Kochetkova was born in Moscow on June 2, 1988. She became the third child in the family of an architect and lawyer. Anastasia developed her voice early, so she participated in almost every school event. At first, the parents did not pay attention to the manifestation of their daughter’s talent. But over time, Nastya’s vocal abilities manifested themselves more and more often. She sang popular songs at home, at a party, and even on the street.
Parents did not want their daughter to become an artist. In order not to upset her parents, she entered the Moscow School of Economics.
But the love for singing has not disappeared. Nastya was actively involved in breathing exercises, solfeggio, etc.
It seemed to the girl that she was paying too little attention to vocals. Therefore, Anastasia Kochetkova signed up for classes at Rainbow Music Agency. Significant and exciting performances soon followed: students at the Moscow School of Economics remembered her at one of the festive evenings, where she performed the soundtrack from Titanic. However, not a single person in the audience could have imagined that the singer, who sang this song without a backing track or auto-tune, was only thirteen years old!
Music
Nastya Kochetkova has achieved her greatest success today as a singer. Already at the age of 15, the girl won the right to perform in one of the most popular talent shows in Russia, “Star Factory.” She got into the 4th season, but not as a solo vocalist, but as a member of the youth group “Banda”. In addition to her, the lineup included future popular performers Timati and Dominic Joker.
As part of the reality show, Nastya performed the famous songs “Dolphin and Mermaid”, “Gulyaka”, “Let” and many others. After the project, the guys released an album called “New People,” which included both new and well-known compositions to fans. The most popular hits from the record were “You are the only one for me”, “Mom, I love you”, “My heart will never tire of loving”.

Later, the singer joined Pavel Vashchekin’s hip-hop project VIP77, and her discography was replenished with work called The Family. There were songs in both Russian and English, of which the hits “We need to live on,” “What’s your name,” and “Let’s forget” received the most recognition. This group broke up in 2007 due to the fact that two members of the group were killed in a car accident.
In 2010, Nastya Kochetkova recorded the song “I rise above the ground” together with the popular rapper and hip-hop artist T-killah. The singer soon presented a music video for this composition.
In 2020, Nastya Kochetkova released the romantic song “I Love” in a duet with singer Davlad, and before that she conquered the charts with the compositions Vanya and All Night, which were published under the pseudonym Nastya KO.

Rezo Gigineishvili's ex-wife Anastasia Kochetkova lives in America with her 11-year-old daughter Maria. After a divorce from the famous director, the Star Factory graduate was able to find happiness in her personal life again - she is now married to Cuban Miguel. The future spouses met at an acting school.
Last year, Gigineishvili divorced Nadezhda Mikhalkova. The couple broke up without scandals. According to some reports, Nadezhda does not forbid Rezo to communicate with the children Nina and Ivan. In a recent interview, Kochetkova commented on the separation of her ex-husband from the heiress of a famous family.
“When Rezo left me and married Mikhalkova, I did not wish them harm - it’s true. But I was always sure that you couldn’t build happiness on someone else’s grief. And when I learned that they divorced, I was not surprised. There is a boomerang law, no one has repealed it: all the tears that another person cried through your fault will definitely return to you. (...) Of course, I will not condole with Mikhalkova and Gigineishvili. But I don’t feel joy either, I rather sympathize. After all, they have two children,” Anastasia shared.
The young woman emphasized that if feelings have faded, children will not save the family. “Nadya was very young when she married Rezo,” added Anastasia, emphasizing that since childhood she had not tried to harm anyone.
According to Kochetkova, Gigineishvili was not distinguished by exemplary behavior in his family life. After one of the major quarrels, the director returned to Anastasia only a few months later. According to the young woman, other women regularly wrote to her chosen one.
“I forgave, but Gigineishvili remained the same. She remembered how she had caught Rezo lying more than once, how strangers’ women, one of whom was called Nadya, continued to send him love messages. How, already knowing everything, I saw Gigineishvili with Mikhalkova and she extended her hand to me with a smile, in a friendly way, without feeling guilty at all...” the singer said.
Anastasia and Rezo filed for divorce in 2009 after four years spent together. According to Kochetkova, she suffered for a long time, experiencing the infidelity of a loved one. The singer developed severe depression. At a difficult moment, the young woman was supported by her mother. At some point, Anastasia decided to go abroad, escaping negative memories and media attention. It was there that she met her future husband, Miguel. Kochetkova’s daughter moved in with her last summer. When Maria lived in Moscow, she periodically saw her father.
“I saw it on Instagram - they seem to be communicating. But as far as I know, he’ll take his daughter once, take different photos, and then just post them. Masha is smart, understands everything and, of course, worries about it. And my soul hurts for my daughter. Rezo was recently in America, took a photo with Angelina Jolie, but didn’t find time to visit Masha,” the singer said.
Anastasia hopes that Rezo will decide to visit his daughter in the USA. According to the young woman, Maria loves her father, so she does not interfere with their meetings. The girl does not communicate with Rezo’s children, who were born in his marriage to Nadezhda Mikhalkova. “I am against these fake dating. I think it’s not worth injuring both Masha and the kids from that family,” Kochetkova shared with the magazine “Caravan of Stories.”
Nastya Kochetkova is at the very beginning of her journey - both creative and life. But why is there so much talk about such a young woman? The statements are contradictory, sometimes even very categorical. One gets the impression that only the “right” actions are expected of her, and any mistakes are regarded as something indecent, requiring instant condemnation of people. It is amazing with what dignity the girl gets out of such situations.
Personal life
Nastya Kochetkova got married very early - at 17 years old. Kochetkova’s first husband was the then aspiring director Rezo Gigineishvili, the young people were connected by bright and stormy feelings. In this marriage, a daughter, Maria, was born in June 2006. But after 2 years, a crisis emerged in their relationship, and in 2009 they filed for divorce.
The artist had a hard time separating from her husband. She radically changed her image, losing a fair amount of weight and turning to plastic surgeons for help. And if before the operation Nastya was not completely satisfied with her own appearance, then after the operation Kochetkova became the happy owner of a neat nose and a charming smile. Additional physical activity allowed the singer to normalize her weight and make her figure slimmer.

Nastya Kochetkova and her daughter
In addition, the performer made an important decision for herself - she moved to America with her daughter, where she started a new life. The daughter of Nastya and Rezo continued to see her father during infrequent visits with her mother to Russia. The singer also has a place to stay in her homeland. In the Moscow region, the artist is waiting for an unusual two-story mansion, which Elena Kochetkova independently designed.
In addition, Nastya met another man. Her new boyfriend's name is Miguel Lara. The guy arrived in the USA from Cuba in order to receive higher acting education. He fell in love with the Russian woman at first sight, and soon the couple was inseparable: Miguel simply did not give up on his passion and followed her everywhere, introducing Nastya to his acquaintances as his wife.
The girl gave in under the pressure of a charming Cuban, and in February 2016 they got engaged. There were rumors among the singer's fans that things were heading towards a new marriage for the singer.
