First marriage
As a student, Evgeniy became interested in fellow student Olga Stashkevich, the girl had a model appearance, and her height was 10 centimeters more than Tsyganov’s height. But such a difference did not prevent the future actor from captivating Olga. The couple dated for a long time, but in 2004, global changes occurred in the young man’s life. Evgeniy fell in love with the young actress Irina Leonova. The fateful meeting took place on the set while working on the film “Children of the Arbat”.
The feelings were so strong that by the end of working on the film, Evgeniy proposed to Irina. Soon the pair of lovers got married. There is no information about how the celebration took place. And in 2005, Evgeny Tsyganov had a daughter. The baby was named Polina. The star parents did not stop at the birth of their daughter, so the couple soon had a son, Nikita, then Andrei, Sofia, Alexander and Georgy. Photos with Evgeniy Tsyganov’s children and wife can be found on the social network pages. The marriage was happy, Evgeniy and Irina sincerely rejoiced at their new pregnancy and the birth of their children.
With his first wife Irina Leonova
At the very beginning of the relationship, young parents decided how many children would be given to them from above and how many would be born. For the first years, the couple and their children lived in a small apartment on Taganka. In one of the interviews, Irina said that living conditions leave much to be desired, since the family is growing from year to year. The children constantly needed their mother’s attention; Irina was forced to interrupt her acting career. Evgeniy, as the sole breadwinner of a large family, actively began acting in films, participating in projects and performances.
The couple often called back, and in his free time from filming, Evgeniy hurried home with a large number of gifts to his wife and children, to a new spacious apartment. On such happy days, Evgeny Tsyganov, together with his wife and children, took many photos in which the large family still looked quite happy.

And soon subheadings appeared on the Internet that actor Evgeny Tsyganov had left the family. No one could believe such shocking news. It seemed that this was the work of the tabloid press, to attract attention, because the actor at that time had been married for 10 years, during which six children were born, and Irina was pregnant with the seventh baby.

Earlier, rumors appeared in the press that Evgeny Tsyganov left his pregnant wife and six children and started an affair with Yulia Peresild. However, at the award ceremony he was with Maria Andreeva.
Actor Evgeny Tsyganov, as the media write, came to the “Person of the Year” award ceremony drunk. At the same time, during his acceptance speech, he cursed. The artist won in two categories at once. He was named “Actor of the Year” and “Person of the Year”.
Evgeny Tsyganov’s speech at the “Person of the Year” award ceremony was chaotic and incoherent. “I am very grateful to this gentleman’s quartermaster, as it were, respect. Mom-dad, son-dog, wife, God. Do not know what to say. I don't know why you're all here. We dressed up, took pictures - the day was not in vain. Ah, I know what I wanted to say. I am the man of the year, man of the year! This is such a sad formulation, I wanted to say this: we are all sitting here so beautiful. And the best ones are chosen for the awards. And I want us to have more processes - energy, enthusiasm,” said the artist.
Evgeny Tsyganov has recently become the center of attention. This happened after news emerged that the actor had left his pregnant wife and six children. At first, his colleagues justified the artist. They said that Evgeniy is a creative person and works a lot; it is difficult for him to relax at home, where he has a wife and six children.
Tsyganov’s common-law wife, Irina Leonova, refused to comment on rumors that the actor had left her and the children. “I have no desire to advertise this. I want to live my life. I haven’t been on stage or filming for a long time. All questions go to Evgeniy, who is engaged in his wonderful creativity and does it with genius and talent,” Irina Leonova told reporters.
After reports that Evgeny Tsyganov left his wife and children, rumors appeared about his new lover. The media wrote that the artist was having an affair with actress Yulia Peresild. According to rumors, they began dating during the filming of the film “The Battle of Sevastopol.” However, neither Evgeny Tsyganov nor Yulia Peresild confirmed or denied this information.
However, Evgeny Tsyganov appeared at the “Person of the Year” award ceremony not with Yulia Peresild, but with a new girlfriend. Actress Maria Andreeva, who became famous thanks to the films “Duhless” and “Duhless-2,” came with him.
Evgeny Tsyganov and Irina Leonova met on the set in 2003. They began an affair. However, at this time Irina Leonova was the wife of actor Igor Petrenko. A year later, the actress divorced and went to Tsyganov.
Evgeny Tsyganov has six children from his wife: daughters Polina and Sophia, sons Nikita, Andrey, Alexander and Georgy. The last child, Georgiy, was born in 2014. Now Irina Leonova is expecting her seventh child, he will be born in the fall of 2020. The actors never officially registered their marriage.

What happened
The actress and mother of many children celebrated her 37th birthday with her children. On the eve of his wife’s holiday, Evgeniy packed his suitcase and left for the festival in Kaliningrad. This act of the actor was most likely the first signal that the couple had problems. Before Vera was born, Evgeniy had already tried to be at home less and, as his friends claimed, he often spent the night with them.
According to their stories, Zhenya needed proper rest after filming, and at home he had to pay attention to his large family. At some point, the popular actor could not cope with fatigue and left his family. But numerous photos of Evgeny Tsyganov with his wife and children indicate that he was still happy.
Childhood and youth
From childhood, art attracted Yevgeny Tsyganov like a magnet, although the future actor was born into a family completely distant from him. The parents met at their workplace - at the Titan Research Institute, which developed and produced microwave devices for air defense systems. However, my mother had previously studied at the Institute of Culture, and on my father’s side of the family there was theater figure and director Sergei Obraztsov.
Evgeny Tsyganov in his youth
Zhenya was a late child (he has an older sister, Irina), so the boy was allowed everything. Tsyganov successfully graduated from music school in piano, and at the age of 14 he became a member of the rock group “AS”. The guys played in a squat on Arbat. The family of his friend Yuri Kolokolnikov once lived there. True, “A.S” existed for only 4 years. After this, Evgeniy moved to another youth group - the group "Grenki", performing in the Britpop genre.
Friends gave concerts in Moscow clubs, and after a while they even recorded an album. In the first years of its existence, “Grenki” were very popular, but at the beginning of the new millennium, the stunning success gradually began to subside, and in 2004 the band disappeared.

In addition to music, the guy had another hobby - theater. In 1988, Zhenya was invited to the Taganka Theater to play children's roles. While all Soviet children were watching “Well, wait a minute!”, Tsyganov participated in serious adult performances “Boris Godunov” and “Alive”, “Vladimir Vysotsky” and “The House on the Embankment”.
The bulk of the roles were tiny, but Taganka gave Tsyganov much more - acquaintance with Yuri Lyubimov, Veniamin Smekhov, Valery Zolotukhin. At this time, Evgeniy received his first acting popularity. But, having seen enough of the behind-the-scenes life of the theater, the young man made a childish decision - to leave Taganka and never be an actor.
Evgeny Tsyganov in the play “Dowry”
Evgeniy graduated from secondary school as an external student, after which he entered film school to become a camera operator. In 1996, the young man passed the entrance exams to the Shchukin Theater School, although he set his sights on the Faculty of Journalism “as the most comfortable place to do nothing.”
Went there for 3 reasons. Adult colleagues at the theater spoke about Tsyganov’s talents, and the guy could not let such recognition pass his ears. In addition, the age for conscription was approaching, and “mom would be upset.” And one day I met Ksenia Kutepova, and a conversation about how great it was to perform on stage sank into my soul.
Evgeniy Tsyganov
Zhenya studied at “Pike” for only a year, because he dreamed of getting into “Pyotr Fomenko’s Workshop” as soon as he saw “Wolves and Sheep” directed by the master. As a result, Tsyganov ended up at the Russian Academy of Theater Arts (GITIS), where “the actors directed, the directors acted.”
Here fate brought Evgeniy together with Pyotr Naumovich, who soon offered to work together on several projects. Later, thanks to Fomenko’s advice, Tsyganov will travel half the world in the original cast of the famous play “Twelfth Night” by British theater director and writer Declan Donnellan, where all the roles have traditionally been played by men since the times of Shakespeare.
Short film by Evgeny Tsyganov “Random Waltz”
Evgeny Tsyganov graduated from the directing department, but in this direction he has only a few works, one of them is the film novel “Random Waltz” and the short film “Personal Relationships”. Directing, as well as the work of the cameraman, remained behind the scenes for Evgeniy. He decided to devote his future life to acting.
New relationships
Rumors about Evgeny Tsyganov’s new novel spread immediately after leaving the family. At first, journalists attributed to him a relationship either with Maria Andreeva or with Yulia Peresild. The last name was heard by one of my colleagues, so rumors about Zhenya and Yulia quickly spread. But a mistake occurred, Tsyganov had an affair, but only with Yulia Snigir. The young people met on the set of the series “Where the Motherland Begins.”
With Yulia Snigir
The film was shot in 2014. About a year later they met again on the set of the film “About Love”. At this time, the young people became close, and after a few months they began to live together. Today, Evgeny Tsyganov and his new wife rarely go out into the world, but there are several rare photos of the actor and children. In March 2020, Evgenia welcomed her eighth child from actress Yulia Snigir. As you know, the birth took place in one of the clinics in Lapino.
The birth process was not easy, the boy was born a little premature, but absolutely healthy with weight and height within normal limits. On the day when Evgeniy picked up his common-law wife and child from the maternity hospital, an unpleasant incident happened. An unknown journalist ambushed them and began to openly film without permission; the actor could not cope with his emotions and attacked him. After the fight, footage of which was leaked online, Tsyganov got into the car with Yulia as a child and drove off. After the baby was baptized, his name became known. The boy was named Fedor, Tsyganov recognized his son and officially issued documents in his last name.

A young family lives in a rented apartment on Kutuzovsky Prospekt. It is noteworthy that, while pregnant, Yulia Snegir did not say who the father of the child was; the young people continued to hide their relationship. Two years after living together with Julia, the couple never married. After giving birth, Yulia Snegir quickly regained her shape and continued her career. It is known that her mother helps her raise her little son.
The ex-wife of Evgeny Tsyganov brought all his children on stage
Both Evgeniy and Irina do not like to discuss their personal lives and rarely give interviews. Appear in public only in cases of urgent need.
So, recently Irina performed on the stage of the Concert Hall. Tchaikovsky. The actress and all her seven children, including her very little daughter Vera, who will soon be two years old, sang “Lullaby.” The video went viral and immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Internet users expressed their admiration not only for the lyrical performance and the gentle voice of the actress, but also for Irina herself as a mother of many children. In their comments, they supported Leonova and wished her personal happiness.
“Irina, you are a beautiful woman, you are a woman, of course, you are a mother of seven children, but you are so beautiful! I didn’t expect that you have such an interesting voice and performance - it, as they say, touches the soul! I wish you an interesting and suitable man, a big house, success in your creative work, so that you receive a prestigious film or theater award, just shine!”
“Irochka, you are a great fellow! Health, strength, patience, courage, more work, enough money for your large family. Children, be proud of your mother! Ira, talented actress and singer, bow to you.”
It should be noted that the mother of many children is admired not only by strangers, but also by people who know her well. Actress Maria Poroshina, for example, said that she was simply amazed at how skillfully Irina Leonova copes with all her children.

“Ira, like an octopus, manages to straighten everyone’s clothes and comb their hair. And at the same time, calmly, clearly, like a radar, it snatches the really necessary information from all this noise. But Ira works successfully: she plays at the Maly Theater!” - Maria noted.
Irina Leonova returned to active work last year; she plays a lot in her native Maly Theater and teaches acting. The actress moved from the four-room apartment where she lived with Yevgeny Tsyganov and the children - everything there reminds her of her former common-law husband.
Tsyganov, who is happy with Yulia Snigir, continues to actively act in film. The actor supports all his children financially and quite often communicates with them, takes part in their upbringing, as he himself admitted in a recent interview with the Dozhd TV channel.
“Sometimes you have to force it on a child, you ask: “What about music, and shall we do painting?” I have a hard time with violence and I can’t handle children for something... This is probably my problem. I can’t be a completely strict dad who will push them somewhere, drag them, and so on. I'm talking, we're trying to come to an agreement. Sometimes there is a feeling that you are not very well received, but you always hope that you get it emotionally!”
Evgeny Tsyganov now
Irina Leonova said in an interview that Evgeniy does not forget his children. A couple of times a month he finds time and comes to them to chat and spend time. Neighbors of a large family confirm that the actor with many children does not forget to visit his seven children from his first marriage, and during his presence in the apartment, children’s laughter is often heard. Noise and fun. This summer, Tsyganov published a photo of children from his first marriage, without his ex-wife. It is known that Evgeniy works a lot, as he has to support two families. Zhenya’s parents help the first family as best they can, in which seven grandchildren are growing up.
Evgeny Tsiganov now
Evgeny today is one of the most sought-after actors in Russian cinema and theater. Among his latest works, I would like to note the roles he played in the following TV series: “About the First Time”, “Perverts”, “Crisis of a Tender Age” and in the film with Khabensky’s participation “Lake”. After the actor left his first wife and children, enough time has passed, but disputes and discussions in society about the current situation do not stop. Fans of Evgeny Tsyganov’s work are looking forward to photos with his new wife and all the children together.
Personal life
At her native theater school, Irina Leonova met the young actor Igor Petrenko. In 2000, she married him and lived with him for 4 years. It is assumed that the reason for the divorce was the impossibility of having children. Be that as it may, on the set of the drama “Children of the Arbat”, Irina’s personal life underwent changes. The girl met the young actor Evgeny Tsyganov. Soon after filming, Leonova moved in with her lover.
Tsyganov and Leonova lived as husband and wife, but did not enter into an official union. The couple had seven children - daughters Polina, Sofia and Vera, as well as sons Nikita, Andrey, Alexander and Georgy. At first, the family huddled in a 1-room apartment, but after the birth of their fifth baby, who was named Georgiy, Evgeniy managed to buy a 4-room apartment.
When the actress was in the last months of pregnancy with her youngest daughter Vera in 2020, she learned that common-law husband Evgeniy Tsyganov had built a new relationship with Yulia Snigir, with whom he starred together in the films “Where the Motherland Begins,” “About Love,” “The Land of Oz.” " The situation was aggravated by the fact that the husband was also expecting a child from another woman. Soon the parents of seven children decided to separate.

The ex-wife of Evgeny Tsyganov could not stay with the children in the apartment on Leninsky Prospekt, which her husband had previously acquired: the memories were too difficult. The woman exchanged housing. At her native Maly Theater she was greeted with open arms. The nanny helped with the children, and the actress’s parents, as well as her brother Vladimir, who still live in Tallinn, also got involved.
Leonova quickly regained her shape and additionally began giving private acting lessons to metropolitan applicants. At first, Tsyganov avoided communication with his family, only helping financially, but soon the relationship between the ex-spouses warmed up.

Why did Evgeny Tsyganov leave his wife?
Many are interested in the reasons for the divorce of Leonova and Tsyganov. Until recently, the artist did not give any comments on this matter and refused to discuss his relationship with the woman he once loved. It is known that when Ira was pregnant with her seventh child, her husband had a new relationship on the side. Immediately after the birth of the baby, he left his family. Friends say that the guy simply could not stand the frantic pace of life. After all, he had to work and then return to the house, where there was almost never peace and quiet: the children frolicked, cried, and screamed all the time. Maybe his psyche simply couldn’t stand it.
