Today we decided to talk about how the TV presenter’s creative career began, what secrets Anfisa Chekhova’s biography hides, and whether it’s true that Anfisa Chekhova divorced her husband. Read about all this below.
Height, weight, age. How old is Anfisa Chekhova
Like any public person, Anfisa Chekhova is in everyone's sight. This means that her figure, makeup, hairstyle, wardrobe are always discussed by everyone. Contrary to other celebrities who are obsessed with constant weight loss and hunger strikes, Chekhova always adequately emphasized her natural characteristics and was not at all shy about her shape. Yes, like everyone else, the TV and radio presenter periodically gained or, on the contrary, lost a couple of kilograms, and therefore everyone is constantly wondering what Anfisa’s height, weight, and age are. How old is Anfisa Chekhova? After all, she looks so good. She turns 40 this December. Her weight is 69 kg and her height is 165 cm.
Biography and personal life of Anfisa Chekhova
From birth the girl was Alexandra Korchunova. Later, on her own initiative, she officially changed her first and last name to Anfisa Chekhova. By the way, she didn’t come up with a last name, but took her grandmother’s, moreover, to spite the father who abandoned them. The biography and personal life of Anfisa Chekhova is of interest to the whole country, and especially to her admirers.
The popular TV presenter and actress was born in Moscow in 1977. When the girl was 4 years old, her father left the family. To avoid paying alimony, he left the family housing. Anfisa’s father not only abandoned her mother, but completely left their life and did not make himself known for a long time. Anfisa inherited her wayward character from her mother, which also affected her academic success. No, the girl was not lazy or a poor student, but she still had to change several schools. The girl dreamed of an acting career since childhood. In 1993, the girl received secondary education, graduating from a school of aesthetic education. Already during this period, Anfisa took an active part in theatrical productions.
After graduating from school, Anfisa decides to enter GITIS. Unfortunately, she failed the entrance exam on her first try. But the girl has no shortage of perseverance, and therefore she enters the theater a year later. To achieve her goal, Anfisa Chekhova had to not only prepare for exams, but also work part-time during the year.
Yet, despite the fact that the girl enters a popular educational institution, after two years she is expelled. The reason for this was Anfisa’s participation in the song group “Crazy Fireflies”. Then fate played a cruel joke on her. On the day of the university exam, Anfisa performed at a concert that was broadcast on television. Because of this, Anfisa's relationship with her mother temporarily went wrong. Anfisa Chekhova no longer made attempts to return to GITIS, but continued her song career, although she would soon realize that this was not her path at all.
Anfisa Chekhova first appeared on television thanks to her friend, or rather, thanks to her failure at the casting. Then Chekhova was approved as a TV presenter on the “Disk Channel” program, which was broadcast on the TV-6 channel. Later, the popular TV presenter admitted that she was sure that she would not pass the casting, since without cronyism it was unrealistic. Two years after Anfisa Chekhova’s debut as a TV presenter, she was invited to the “Drema” project. This television program was broadcast at night and was intended for an adult audience.
In the late 90s, Anfisa was invited to work for the TV Center channel as a presenter of the live TV show “Cultivator”. Filming took place on the ship's deck. Unfortunately, the bankruptcy of the channel forced the aspiring TV presenter to disappear from television screens for several years. The girl worked part-time as a singer in restaurants and at parties in clubs.
After Anfisa’s invitation to work on the STS television channel, Chekhova was also invited to participate in the project “Looking at Night,” which was broadcast by the Muz-TV channel. By the way, she didn’t stay long on the latter.
The young TV presenter and singer realized that she still needed to get a higher education. Then in 2003 she entered the university at the Faculty of Journalism and successfully graduated.
Two years later, after working on the Show Business program, Anfisa received an offer to acquire her own TV show. Interest in domestic celebrities and all sorts of washing their bones on live television disappeared, and therefore she set her sights on “adult topics.” The channel’s management supported Chekhova’s idea and began filming and releasing the TV show “Sex with Anfisa Chekhova.” It was this project that made Chekhov famous and in demand. Soon, she received many invitations to various television projects and shows. But the program that made Anfisa popular was closed in 2009 due to financial difficulties. By the way, its repetition lasted for another three years.
After the closure of the author’s television show, Anfisa begins work on the “Wife for Rent” project. The plot turned out to be very intriguing. Anfisa Chekhova could independently choose a man for herself (necessarily from the domestic show business) and appear to him in a wedding dress. Over the course of 7 days, the so-called newlyweds go through the stages of getting to know each other, having breakfast, and living together. Many Russian celebrities were husbands, but the audience liked Irakli and Timati most of all. And Chekhova herself was delighted with Sergei Zverev.
Since 2011, Anfisa Chekhova has increasingly collaborated with Ukrainian television channels. Participation in “Dancing with the Stars” made Anfisa very popular in Ukraine. Next, there were offers to participate in the filming of a TV show from the major Ukrainian TV channel STB.
Also, thanks to Anfisa Chekhova, an interesting beauty contest for ladies with curvy figures called “Standards.net” took place. Girls who were far from the standards of models and who had not fallen under the knife of plastic surgeons were welcomed here.
In addition to participating in television shows, Anfisa Chekhova also starred in several films, and also tried herself on the theater stage, and, moreover, very successfully. A horror film, several comedies and TV series were shot with Chekhova's participation.
As for Anfisa Chekhova’s personal life, this chapter of her biography is no less interesting. For three years, the popular actress and TV presenter was in a relationship with her colleague, TV presenter Vladimir Tishko. After the disagreement, the man behaved vilely, telling the press piquant details and rude statements about his former lover. It was Tishko who revealed Anfisa’s first and real surname. It is known that the couple even lived together, but things didn’t work out. The scandalous breakup of the couple was covered by the press many times, and Chekhova herself often expressed dissatisfaction and barbs towards her ex-boyfriend.
The actress and presenter experienced true love, loyalty and care with Georgian actor Guram Bablishvili. The future lovers met on the theater stage. The relationship began unexpectedly for them, which they did not want to share with others, and especially with the press. But, after some time, when the couple was convinced that this was not a passing hobby, they finally stopped hiding. In 2012, it became known about Anfisa Chekhova’s pregnancy.
Role in society and media presence
If we talk about the popularity of Anfisa Chekhova in our time, it has noticeably decreased compared to 2005-2010 after changing the MUZ-TV format and closing the Sex with Anfisa Chekhova program. Now the star is trying to get away from the image of a sexy presenter, participating in films, voicing programs and acting as the host of famous shows. Anfisa managed to be an expert on Master Chef, now hosts Weighted and Happy, performed in KVN, participated in theatrical productions of 8 Women and One Winter Night. The star's best roles in films are I Love You, Hitler Kaput, Rzhevsky against Napoleon, Five Stars. While married to Guram Bablishvili, the girl jointly filmed a show about their adventures in Georgia, her husband’s homeland. Although the project did not gain much popularity and closed after a couple of months. Now Anfisa is a socialite, actress and good mother.

Family and children of Anfisa Chekhova
Considering the topic “The Seven and Children of Anfisa Chekhova,” it is worth starting with her childhood. Her mother is Alexandra Korchunova, Anfisa Chekhova’s father is Alexander Knyazev (Korchunov). For the girl, her father's departure was a big blow. By the way, later, he tried to get in touch when Anfisa Chekhova became popular, but his daughter rejected him.
It is known that the father left the apartment to avoid paying child support. Also, there is information that he previously went in for sports, and then (according to some rumors) worked as a personal driver for Vladimir Volfovich Zhirinovsky. At that moment, Alexander Knyazev completely hated politics and converted to Hare Krishnaism.
Let's go back to more modern times. Anfisa Chekhova was in a relationship with Guram Bablishvili. Since 2020 they are officially married. From Guram, the famous TV presenter has a son, Solomon.
Son of Anfisa Chekhova - Solomon Bablishvili
The son of Anfisa Chekhova, Solomon Bablishvili, was born in 2012. At that time, Anfisa and Guram were not yet officially married, but they had been living together for a long time. According to Anfisa Chekhova, Solomon is a restless, mischievous and humorous boy. She and Guram do not limit him with frequent “no”, they give their son a lot of freedom, considering this method of education more acceptable. Chekhova stated that first of all it is necessary to educate oneself, and the child will become a reflection of the parents. Also, the popular presenter and singer managed to lose a lot of weight. She notes not only an improvement in her health, but also that her son is much less sick. This is understandable, because there is always a thin thread between the child and the mother.
Anfisa Chekhova's ex-husband - Guram Bablishvili
The beloved and now ex-husband of Anfis Chekhova, Guram Bablishvili, has always attracted a lot of attention from the press. He is three years younger than his companion. Their relationship lasted more than eight years. The acquaintance occurred while working in the theater. The romance between Guram and Anfisa did not immediately become known, since they did not want to advertise their relationship. Anfisa's pregnancy was also carefully hidden until the last moment.
During one of the interviews, Chekhova shared the secrets of family happiness. The main thing is trust and harmony, diversity in family life, and under no circumstances should you let your relationship with your husband take its course. Anfisa Chekhova is happy in the photo with Guram taken during the interview, she shines and looks rejuvenated.
Not long ago, information about the separation of Chekhova and Guram began to appear in the media, and speculations are periodically made as to why Anfisa Chekhova divorced. The information was confirmed by Anfisa herself, publishing a post on the popular Instagram.
Lost weight Anfisa Chekhova, before and after photos
The popular Russian and Ukrainian TV presenter Anfisa Chekhova has always been “in her body,” but she never had a complex about it. Knowing how to highlight her shape and amaze with her attractiveness, she could give a head start to any girl with model appearance. Chekhova began to tidy up not only her figure, but also her entire body during pregnancy. Usually, after giving birth, most women take a long time to get into shape, and it is incredible luck (or hard work) if you manage to return to your former shape. For Anfisa, it’s the other way around. After giving birth, she looked better and thinner than before pregnancy. Then a thinner Anfisa Chekhova instantly appeared in many publications. The before and after photos were incredibly popular. The TV presenter herself admitted that she did not exhaust herself with torture in the form of hunger strikes or diets, and does not spend hours in the gym. How did she manage to achieve such results?
And they are such that now Chekhova weighs 25 kg less than usual. It turns out that you just need to adjust yourself to the fact that our state of health and our body is a mirror of our diet. We are what we eat. According to Anfisa’s advice, as soon as you stop eating unhealthy foods, the kilograms will melt away on their own. And indeed, at 40 years old, the TV presenter looks simply gorgeous, looking younger before her eyes. Articles and photos on the topic “Anfisa Chekhova before and after losing weight 2017” are becoming increasingly popular. The celebrity’s parameters are not known, but her weight is now 69 kg (up to 90 kg). By the way, photos of Chekhova in a swimsuit, pictures in which she is naked, both before and after losing weight, are in demand. This means that Anfisa was loved with curves and is loved thinner. This is understandable, because with kilograms, her charm and sexuality are in no way interconnected.
There are often rumors on the Internet about all kinds of Chekhova's plastic surgery and liposuction. Anfisa herself claims that she never turned to plastic surgeons for help, if only because of her terrible fear of anesthesia.
Anfisa Chekhova is an ardent fan of yoga, which she has been practicing for a long time. It is this physical activity that makes it possible not only to keep the body in good shape, but also to be in harmony with it.
Films and theater
Alexander Korshunov graduated from the Moscow Art Theater School, after which he immediately joined the troupe of the Moscow New Drama Theater. When the actor’s mother founded the Sfera Drama Theater in 1981, Korshunov began staging plays on the stage of this theater and acting in productions himself. After the death of Ekaterina Ilyinichna, Alexander took the place of his mother and took over the leadership of Elanskaya’s brainchild. At the same time, the artist sometimes performs in performances at the Maly Theater.

Alexander Korshunov began his cinematic biography with the youth comedy “The Key”. He then starred in the very popular films Portrait of the Artist's Wife and Can't Say Goodbye. The psychological detective story “The Extra One Arrives on the Second Path” was also a success. But the bulk of Korshunov’s filmography of the 1980-90s is occupied by teleplays, that is, the actor’s theatrical performances filmed.

The actor began to appear on screen much more in the new century. He played medical expert Ilkovsky in the action-packed detective story “The Return of Mukhtar”, paramedic Smirnov in the classic drama “Meluzga”, Maxim Maksimovich in the film adaptation of Lermontov’s “Pechorin”, an authorized representative from Moscow in the mystical thriller “Save Our Souls”, a lonely artist in the tragicomedy “Dove” .

In 2014, Alexander Korshunov played the role of the father of the main character (Artem Bystrov) in the social drama “Fool”. The director of the film was Yuri Bykov, famous for his intensely social films.
The film, like the director’s other works, shows the fate of the “little man” in his opposition to the system. A plumber notices a crack running through the wall of a house and threatening the lives of its inhabitants, and does his best to save unsuspecting people. But it turns out that the authorities do not care about the residents of the communal apartment in a poor area, the money for repairs has already been divided, and the fraudulent schemes have already been carried out.

Against the backdrop of this problem, an intra-family drama unfolds. The hero’s relatives, including Korshunov’s character, are against the latter’s altruism and are ready to simply leave the city, just to preserve their own prosperous life.
The film gained worldwide popularity and was shown at several international festivals. “The Fool” also received the Gorin Prize for the best script and a diploma from the Guild of Film Scholars and Film Critics with the wording “For uncompromising artistic expression” at the Kinotavr film festival.

Photo by Anfisa Chekhova for Maxim magazine
During the release of the TV show, which made her popular throughout the country, many magazines dreamed of getting a sexy TV presenter with her body for a photo shoot. But few were worthy. The lucky one was Maxim magazine. Photos of Anfisa Chekhova for Maxim magazine are often viewed and continue to be in demand, years later. Photos of Chekhova in a swimsuit are no less interesting. Very often, explicit photos of Anfisa are viewed online. Today, the TV presenter is also regularly offered to appear in many magazines. But now she is not just a famous TV presenter, but also a mother. Therefore, it is unlikely that in the near future her fans will see new candid photographs of Chekhova in the magazine.
Alexander Korshunov now
In 2020, Alexander Korshunov appeared in the supporting role of a doctor in a hospital in the adventure drama “Time of the First” about the first human spacewalk during the technological and space race between the USA and the USSR. The main roles in the film were played by Konstantin Khabensky and Evgeny Mironov.
It is interesting that the main character of the film, the famous Soviet cosmonaut Alexei Leonov, who became the first person to leave a rocket into outer space, acted as a scientific consultant for the film.

The film received clearly positive reviews, in which film critics praised the special effects, harmony and logic of the plot, and average ones, where critics noted a certain straightforwardness, as well as the political overtones of the film. But, despite the fact that the film did not receive negative reviews from critics, “Time of the First” performed poorly at the box office, and the film’s first weekend at the box office was the worst in several years, according to cinema estimates.
Also in 2020, Alexander Korshunov played in the comedy melodrama “The Milkmaid and the Burdock.” Here the actor again met on the set with Konstantin Khabensky. The film tells the story of a metropolitan veterinarian-animal psychologist who, after a conflict with a wealthy client, runs away with his family to the village. Now the Moscow veterinarian has to win the respect and affection of his fellow villagers.
Instagram and Wikipedia Anfisa Chekhova
Anfisa Chekhova's Instagram and Wikipedia are very popular and frequently viewed online.
The celebrity has over a million followers on Instagram. Here she regularly adds new photos from work and from various travels. Anfisa Chekhova often posts photographs during yoga classes, which she met many years ago. Anfisa regularly pampers her fans with fresh photos from a wide variety of events, including SPA salons and wine tastings. Below the photographs are detailed descriptions and explanations. Judging by the popularity of Chekhova's Instagram, she is quite an interesting storyteller. Perhaps Anfisa has a young man about whom nothing is known yet. The information is all from the same Instagram. Most of the fans of the couple Guram and Anfisa blame her for the breakup, since she is a spectacular girl and is often seen in the company of other men. One of these turned out to be just her old friend. According to the celebrity, one should be afraid not of those whom a woman flaunts, but of those whom she is silent about.
You can also get information about Anfisa Chekhova from Wikipedia. But there is little personal there, there is only information about career, filmography and so on.
A post on a social network, which announced Anfisa Chekhova’s desire to run for the post of President of the Russian Federation in the 2020 elections, caused a great response among the public. The condition is a minimum of 200 thousand likes for the post. Likes, it seems, have long since surpassed the 200,000 mark, but this was more of a joke from the daring and unique Anfisa Chekhova than a serious intention.
Today you can see different Anfisa Chekhova - on the set, on the way home, in the gym, at home in the bathroom, with her son, with friends. She is a different, romantic person, and not just a socialite and a sex symbol among domestic TV presenters. One can only envy her, because she is happy, she has a family, friends, and a job she loves. As for faith, Chekhova believes in God, but is not a fan of icons, crosses and other things, believing that these objects do not mean faith in God and devotion to him. Discussions between fans and opponents of the TV presenter’s work often arise on this issue online. Chekhov may often and quite critically condemn Russian political figures and the national mentality, but this does not make her any less attractive to the Russian viewer.
Personal life
Alexander Korshunov met his future wife in the late 70s. This happened in the New Drama Theater, where the actor worked, and Olga Semyonovna Leonova performed the duties of a theater artist. Then the woman was married to another man, and she did not have any affair with Korshunov.
Alexander Korshunov
Much later, the young people reached out to each other after experiencing a dangerous situation at sea together. Having shared acute experiences during a storm in which they almost died, Alexander and Olga realized that they wanted to be together, and since then they have been inseparable. The family had two children - son Stepan and daughter Claudia. Both became actors, and Klavdiya Korshunova even studied with her own father at the Shchepkinsky Theater School.
The press knows little about the personal life of Alexander Korshunov. The actor leads a quiet life, does not amaze viewers with scandals or lawsuits and, unlike his younger colleagues, does not talk about his own daily life on social networks or Instagram.
