Childhood and youth
Karpov is a native Muscovite; he was born on September 10, 1986. In interviews, the man often jokes that his childhood years were mostly good, only difficult in some places. For example, he had a very hard time waiting for the green bananas that were stored on the cabinet to fully ripen. The artist has a younger sister. The teenager had to take the child to kindergarten every day, and only then did he rush to the general education institution.
Immediately after receiving his school certificate, he managed to join the ranks of Moscow Art Theater students. However, he could not stop at training as a choreographer. Moreover, Karpov considers dancing an interesting hobby, despite the fact that he was a teacher in the dance section. A man’s main income comes from a completely different job. The artist is a graduate of the capital's University of Civil Engineering, where he studied at the Faculty of Architecture. Over time, he was able to open his own architectural company.
Andrey Karpov's Instagram account
Andrei Karpov's Instagram is filled with many photographs in which the man is depicted with his wife Ekaterina Volkova, who is a popular Russian actress, and five-year-old daughter Elizaveta.
An indispensable hero of his Instagram is also his pet – a Japanese Akita Inu dog named Bondao. In Andrey's feed you can see photos from various trips and travels. Judging by the photographs, his family recently visited Latvia, where they experienced all the delights of eco-tourism.
Andrey Karpov also posts photos from Instagram on other social networks in which he is registered, for example, Vkontakte. Karpov does not leave a single photo without a caption, telling his subscribers about how his day went, or under what conditions this or that photo was taken. In the comments, Andrei actively responds to subscribers, which allows us to conclude that he does not have star fever and a predilection for pathos.
Dancing
Andrey Karpov became famous in 2008. He was then invited to the television show “Dancing with the Stars.” The man’s first partner was the sought-after domestic actress Agata Muceniece. Literally two years later, Karpov again performed in front of his loyal fans in this program. Only this time he shone on the floor in the company of Maria Semkina. In subsequent seasons, the artist took part in a television show with such artists as Olga Buzova, Yulia Volkova, Anastasia Vedenskaya, Elena Podkaminskaya. The artist managed to win only in tandem with Podkaminskaya. It is noteworthy that once the dancer even dropped out of the project after the first releases, since his partner Olga Buzova simply did not show up for one of the performances.
“To be honest, it was far from easy for me to take part in this show. Filming processes often dragged on, so I rushed to construction sites without even sleeping. It was not the easiest time, but I was able to cope with these challenges. Constant rehearsals, while simultaneously creating new projects at my main job, exhausted me quite significantly,” said Andrei Karpov in one of his conversations with representatives of the media.
Problems and jealousy
As in any family, after some time Andrei and Ekaterina began to have problems in their family life. Some of them were related to the spouses’ employment. Each of them participated in various projects and they devoted less and less time to each other.

In addition, the problem arose when Andrei accidentally met his first love . His feelings for this girl flared up again. And only Catherine’s wisdom and the support of her mother-in-law helped the couple overcome this problem.
But jealousy did not leave the couple alone. Adding to the problems were journalists who colorfully described the relationship that Andrei allegedly had with his partner in the show “Dancing with the Stars” Elena Podkaminskaya. It was rumored that she almost took the man away from the family.
To stop all these conversations, after the end of the show, Ekaterina Volkova’s husband broke off all relations with Podkaminskaya . At this time, Catherine did not start scandals, but waited until the end of the show to see if the story would continue.
But not only Andrei’s relationships with his dance partners were a reason for jealousy. One day, Ekaterina Volkova’s husband became jealous of her on-screen husband in the TV series “Voronin”. But everything was resolved peacefully and divorce was avoided.
Now Ekaterina and Andrey are trying not to let journalists into their personal lives, but because of this, more and more speculation is appearing in the press. However, the couple, having gone through so many tests of jealousy, learned to ignore them.
For young people, the most important thing now is raising their adored daughter. The couple does not hide that they are not against having another child. And it is not ruled out that this could happen soon.
Andrei and Ekaterina serve as support and support for each other. They often consult about certain projects; it is important for everyone to know the opinion of their other half and feel their support. If in the future they do not change their principles, then they can easily claim the title of an ideal couple.

A television
Showcasing his dancing skills on the project, his talent attracted the attention of some producers and directors. Thus, he was lucky enough to become one of the participants in the “New Life” construction project, which was broadcast on the “STS” channel. This project differed from other programs in that not only housing, but also the owners of the house were brought to the ideal. At the same time, everything was done under the most tight deadlines and budgetary funds. Assistance in this was provided by professionals in their field: plastic surgeons, stylists, designers and builders. The man managed to cope brilliantly with the task thanks to his artistry and, of course, thanks to his education in the field of architecture.
“As the directors of the project said, I coped with the task perfectly. I liked this job. After the first graduation, I realized that this is really my direction, so I can stay in it,” the man once said.
The dancer Karpov also has acting experience - he played the role of a gynecologist in the famous multi-part project “Voronins”. The main role in this film was played by his wife Ekaterina Volkova.
Andrey Karpov now
In April 2020, another show started, where Andrei Karpov is involved. The co-host was his wife Ekaterina. The couple, as part of the program “Mr. and Mrs. Z,” debunk myths about beauty and health. The set is noisy; the show is filmed in the format of “live” experiments. For example, in an issue devoted to the properties of snake venom, creeping inhabitants of deserts and jungles appeared. In the spring of 2018, the second season of the television project was launched.

According to Karpov, the program became an important milestone for him, because he is a supporter of a healthy lifestyle. The show helps you learn a lot about products, substances and treatment of diseases.
The architect also appeared in the Channel One program “Ideal Renovation” - the reality show team created the interior of the children’s room of the heirs of Philip Kirkorov. A play town, a real Disneyland, appeared in the artist’s country house.

The idea was born during the filming of “The Voronins”. Then Philip asked Karpov to help develop a project for an empty room in the mansion. The King of Pop wanted his daughter Alla Victoria and son Martin to receive a room in which conditions would be created for children's development at home. Andrey decided to involve the Ideal Repair team in cooperation.
Personal life
Andrei Karpov saw his future wife, wife Ekaterina Volkova, for the first time in the theatrical production of “The Fool.” He fell in love with her at first sight. The couple met thanks to a mutual friend Daria Sagalova. The dancer invited the actress on a very unusual date - an individual dance lesson, where he danced tango with her. Since then, the couple has been completely inseparable.
One day, Catherine came to the filming of the television project “Dancing with the Stars” to support her beloved young man, and unexpectedly received a huge bouquet of flowers and tickets to Paris. The very next morning, the city of love awaited the lovers, and the actress – a romantic evening and a marriage proposal. The chosen ones celebrated their wedding in 2010. Soon their daughter was born. The new parents named the heiress Elizabeth.
A married couple always supports each other in everything. Almost constantly, an idyll reigned in the family, only once there was a discord in the family, which was associated with another woman.
Karpov, performing on the TV show “Dancing with the Stars” with Elena Podkaminskaya, became very interested in his work. He spent a lot of time with his partner outside the dance studio, and on social networks he published joint photographs and wrote enthusiastic comments, which, of course, Volkova did not like.
According to the actress, she was very jealous of her beloved man, and she absolutely missed his attention. The couple was lucky enough to survive the crisis that arose. After the filming of the project was completed, everything fell into place.
As Karpov himself says, he gets very tired at work, but his beloved wife helps him cope with this. He arranges romantic evenings for the actress on the balcony with candles and glasses of good wine. Lovers also love to travel.
Career at the Ekaterina Volkova Theater
Ekaterina Volkova began building her acting career in a theater studio that worked at the Wheel Theater in 1994.
A year later, the girl entered the Yaroslavl Theater Institute, where she studied in the workshop of V. Shalimov. By the way, the actress played Nastenka in the first Russian theater named after F. Volkov in the production of “The Village of Stepachinkovo” based on Dostoevsky. Ekaterina arrived in Moscow in 1997. The girl entered the RATI (GITIS) on the course of Mark Zakharov and immediately became a third-year student.
Just at this time, her classmate Sergei Aldonin was staging the play “The Master and Margarita” on the stage of the Russian Academic Youth Theater. The main female role was already taken, so Katya had to just sit at rehearsals and embroider a hat for the Master. While doing needlework, the young actress thought about how she could play Margarita herself. Many thought that Katya had a quiet form of insanity, however, Aldonin had a different opinion. He looked at the Master’s finished cap and gave the role to Margarita Volkova.
“It so happened that, before I had read the novel “The Master and Margarita,” I met a man on the street who told me: “Margarita is you!” It was so convincing, I believed him, and immediately took up the book. I realized that the main character and I are very similar. When I read the novel for the first time, I skipped all the biblical and historical plots. I was so captivated by the love story between the Master and Margarita, I only saw their images. When I studied at the theater in Yaroslavl, I learned that the famous Mark Zakharov was looking for an actress who could embody the image of Margarita. I managed to transfer to the third year of GITIS from the third year of a provincial university. I got the role and started rehearsing my dream. Then she played Margarita for ten years in a row at the Stanislavsky Moscow Drama Theater,” recalls Ekaterina.
The actress assures that she was not afraid of the mystical background of the role of Margarita. She does not believe in devilry and signs associated with the name of Mikhail Bulgakov and her heroes.
In 1999, Ekaterina Volkova graduated from GITIS. She immediately went to work in entrepreneurial projects. For example, on the stage of the Stanislavsky Theater she played the main role in the production of “Orpheus and Eurydice.” In addition, director Vladimir Klimenko gave her the role of Cessile in Alceste, which he staged together with the Praktika theater group.
Next, Ekaterina Volkova, together with Anna Afanasyeva, staged the touching and cruel play “My Blue Friend” at the Moscow Art Theater as part of the decade of New Drama. This is a production by one of the prisoners, Ekaterina Kovaleva. The topic came to light after several trips to maximum security colony number 6 in the Oryol region.
