The biography of Irina Reznik, the wife of Ilya Reznik, began to interest fans after the maestro formalized his relationship with his future wife. It is known that in 2012, Ilya Reznik seriously changed his personal life and officially divorced his second wife, despite a marriage that lasted almost 15 years. He performed this action for the sake of his new chosen one, Irina Romanova. Their age difference surprised fans of the singer’s work, since it is almost three decades, but, apparently, this is not a problem for the spouses.
Loud divorce for the sake of a new wife
In 2012, Ilya Reznik filed for divorce for Irina’s sake. He was married to his previous wife, Murina, for almost a quarter of a century, but they lived in different places - for most of the couple’s marriage, Munira lived in the United States of America with her son, and Ilya Reznik lived in Russia. The decision to file for divorce occurred when the singer decided to officially marry his woman Irina. The woman is 27 years younger than her husband, however, age is not an obstacle to their marriage.
After Ilya Reznik’s second wife found out that her husband had started a new relationship, she arrived from America to Russia, and a loud incident occurred, as Munira called her husband a polygamist. However, she later found out that she was divorced from her husband without knowledge or warning.
After this, lengthy legal proceedings began, the purpose of which was to annul the previous court decision. This process did not bring results. One of the episodes of the TV show “Let Them Talk” was dedicated to this news. Reznik’s ex-wife took part in the show. According to some reports, due to strong excitement after this TV show, the maestro suffered a stroke.
As a result, all the proceedings ended, the personal life of Ilya Reznik was no longer discussed so vigorously, he became the official husband of Irina Romanova, who is not only his wife, but also the director of the theater named after him.
He filed for divorce because he has been living with Irina for several years and loves her. In his opinion, it is indecent to live with a woman who does not have the status of a spouse. The singer was in no hurry to get a divorce, as he waited until his son turned 18; after the child became an adult, the divorce was filed. At the same time, he and Munira did not have a common household, they did not communicate for several years even by phone, and the singer sent money to his son.
Argumbayeva’s attempts to challenge the court’s decision were in vain; she did not appear at the first court hearing. Subsequently, she hired lawyers, but even with their help she was unable to challenge the decision and receive half of the jointly acquired property.
Looking for true love
From a young age, Ilya Reznik was not deprived of the attention of women. But at the same time, he decided to tie the knot in adulthood. When he was already 30 years old, he met his first wife on tour. The girl's name was Regina and she was 10 years younger than Ilya.
A romance broke out between them, which ended in a wedding. In their marriage, Ilya and Regina had two children: son Maxim and daughter Alisa. But, after some time, the couple realized that their feelings had cooled and decided to go through life separately.
The poet’s second wife was a ballerina from Uzbekistan, Munira Argumbayeva. Officially, their marriage lasted almost 25 years, although most of the time the couple lived separately without filing a divorce. In his marriage to Munira, Reznik had another child.
This was the son, who was named Arthur. Ilya always took care of his child, even when he and his mother began to live in different countries.
Meeting Ilya Reznik and Irina
In an interview with I. Reznik, they asked how he manages to always be cheerful and optimistic. According to media reports, he replied that his main support is his wife Irina, without whom he cannot imagine his condition now, as well as all the difficulties that were experienced earlier, allow him to enjoy life and appreciate everything that is in life.
The singer met his wife in the company of friends while celebrating his birthday. According to the maestro, he immediately liked the woman, as she was not only beautiful, but also pleasant to talk to. They exchanged phone numbers, but did not call immediately, but subsequently their relationship developed at lightning speed.
When asked whether Ilya Reznik conquered Irina, he answered the media that there was no carrying bouquets of flowers or cakes, for them something else was important. They liked each other at first sight, despite the fact that such cases occur extremely rarely. The couple have been together for more than 17 years, and they still enjoy being together as in the first years of their relationship.
Journalists wondered how it happened that Irina and the singer have been dating for many years, but they officially married only recently. The maestro explained this situation. According to him, both spouses were confident that the presence of a stamp in the passport or its absence did not affect the relationship, but was a formality. He decided to marry to protect his woman, to protect her from insults and the emergence of rumors.
He explained that many offensive words were said about her, and they were related to the fact that she is not the singer’s wife. Despite the fact that the spouses do not care about the opinions of others about their personal lives, the decision was made to paint.
Journalists were interested to know what Reznik thought about the scandal that arose in connection with his divorce from his wife Murina. This news became a reason for discussion on the talk show “Let Them Talk,” as a result of which the maestro suffered a stroke. Ilya Reznik does not deny this information, calling everything his second wife said a lie.
To restore his health, he goes to sanatoriums where he undergoes medical procedures. His wife Irina and his comrades, as well as doctors, helped him recover. According to him, it is only thanks to his environment that he believes in people. Reznik’s wife is almost 30 years younger than the artist. This couple has no children together.

Ilya Reznik: biography, personal life, nationality
Ilya Rakhmielevich was born in 1938 into a Jewish family. In early childhood I learned what war and famine were, and lost my father during the war years. The mother very soon recovered from this loss, fell in love again, got married and moved to Riga. Little Ilya was raised by his grandparents in Leningrad, after which they took guardianship of their grandson.
Since childhood, Reznik dreamed of becoming a sailor, so after graduating from school he planned to enter the Nakhimov School. Before passing the exams, I decided to change my dream and become an actor. He did not enter the Leningrad Theater Institute; he worked as a laborer for several years. I “broke into art” only after 3 years and successfully completed my studies. During his student years he wrote “Cockroach” and other compositions. In 1969, he wrote the song “Cinderella” for Senchina, and in 1972 the poet made a fateful acquaintance with the then-beginning Diva, Alla Pugacheva. Later he worked with many celebrities, including Laima Vaikule, Irina Ponarovskaya, Valery Leontyev and others.
Reznik wrote several books, actively acted in theatrical productions, and from 2006 to 2009 judged contestants in the “Two Stars” rating project. He was married three times, and today he already has grandchildren.
Regina Reznik - Ilya's wife
The maestro met his first wife on tour. He was 30 years old then, she was 20 years old. The romantic relationship ended with a magnificent wedding and the birth of two children - Alice and Maxim. The woman worked as deputy director of the variety theater in Leningrad. In her youth, Regina looked gorgeous, dressed well and always took care of herself. The loving Reznik could not resist.
The divorce of the spouses was loud and difficult, Reznik was on the verge of suicide. The question of who the songwriter's children would live with was decided in court. Son Maxim independently decided to stay with his father, which he openly stated in court. Regina perceived this act as a betrayal.
The youngest daughter Alice remained to live with her mother, who forbade her to see her second parent. During the separation, father and daughter moved away, but as Alisa grew older, she understood everything and independently reached out to Ilya Reznik. The relationship between father and daughter improved.
Reznik's wife - Munira Argumbayeva
The poet's second wife was a famous dancer and choreographer. The fateful meeting took place in Tashkent; after short meetings, the lovers legalized their relationship. The long-awaited son Arthur was born into the marriage.
In 1990, the Reznik family moved to live in the USA. Munira was doing housework and raising her son, but Reznik could not find a place for himself and was homesick. When he decided to return, his wife refused to go with him. She settled well abroad. Therefore, Reznik returned alone. He regularly sent money to his wife and son. Another surprise awaited him in Russia - new love.
Why Ilya Reznik divorced his wife
The poet broke up with Munira after leaving for Russia. Everyone began to live their own lives. After meeting the master of sports in athletics Irina Romanova in 1992, Ilya secretly divorced. When Munira found out about her mistress, she called Reznik a polygamist. The news of the divorce behind her back completely finished off the woman. She filed a lawsuit and demanded that the previous court decision be overturned.
Munira Reznik complained to the Diva about the tyranny and betrayal of her legal spouse. Alla Borisovna took the side of the devoted woman, helped her hire an expensive lawyer, but she herself stopped all communication and creative collaboration with Reznik. Although she never denied the maestro’s colossal talent.
The divorce was loud and difficult, lasting several years. Munira categorically refused to let her husband go, speculated on the child they had together, and accused her of all mortal sins. And yet, a few years later, Ilya Reznik divorced, after which he immediately legalized his relationship with Irina Romanova. The lovers secretly got married in Crimea.
Irina Romanova - Reznik's wife
The last wife supported the songwriter during a difficult time for him. He returned from the USA and found himself forgotten by friends and colleagues. There was not enough money, there was no work, and serious health problems arose. Left alone, Irina Romanova became the light at the end of the tunnel.
She was 27 years younger than Ilya Reznik. Irina was condemned for getting confused with a married man and taking him away from the family. The woman herself recalls that at the time of their acquaintance he was poor, very ill and had already “given up on himself.” She took charge of his health, changed his diet, believed and supported him in all his endeavors. After the divorce from Munira, the lovers quietly signed in one of the capital's registry offices, but before that they lived in a civil marriage for 15 years.
Today, peace and tranquility reign in the Reznik family. Irina Romanova sometimes speaks with sadness about unborn children, but she has already come to terms with her childlessness. She considers it her mission in life to be close and support her star husband in everything.

Meeting for life
Despite two official marriages, Ilya Reznik’s personal life did not immediately improve. After moving to Russia from America in 1992, he was lonely for some time and forgotten by his loved ones. This was the case before meeting Irina Romanova.
The poet met his beloved during a difficult period of his life. He was overcome by illness, he was practically a beggar, and almost all his friends turned away from him. Irina was 27 years younger than Reznik, but age did not prevent real feelings from arising, which went through many tests.
After meeting Ilya, many reproached the woman for self-interest. Allegedly, she was chasing the poet’s wealth and fees. But, as Irina herself recalls, at the time they met he was very poor. The man wanted to ensure a comfortable old age for himself, so he put all his savings in a savings book. In one moment, all his savings turned to dust.
Irina and Ilya met in a common company at a birthday party. The poet immediately drew attention to a pleasant-looking woman. Later, when they started talking, the man also noted that she was pleasant to talk to. At the end of the evening, they exchanged phone numbers and agreed to call each other. However, their meeting did not take place immediately, but after it the couple did not part.
In the fight for happiness
Irina and Ilya had to work hard to achieve the happiness they have now. At the time of the meeting, the poet was seriously ill. He did not want to undergo diagnostics, and he practically did not have the funds for this. But Irina decided to fight for her beloved. She took him to the best doctors and conducted a complete diagnosis of his body. It turned out that everything can still be fixed.
Next, Irina took on Ilya’s diet and daily routine. Her efforts were in vain. Now the poet feels excellent, and doctors say that his body corresponds to that of a 40-year-old man. Later, the couple had to undergo another test.
After breaking up with Munira, the songwriter never filed for divorce. When he tried to do this, a scandal broke out. The ex-wife began to accuse Reznik of not helping her raise her son and she practically went hungry. A few years later, Ilya still managed to get a divorce.
Immediately after this, she and Irina went to the registry office and quietly signed their names. When the third wife is asked about this wedding, she says that the stamp in the passport does not mean much to her, and the action of her loved one is not the most important thing. They lived in a civil marriage for almost 15 years. All these years the woman felt loved and needed. But even so, she was very happy to hear Ilya’s offer to become his wife.
Now, having overcome all difficulties, the spouses live in harmony and agreement. Only occasionally does Irina regret that she and her husband do not have children together. But then he comes to the conclusion that higher powers ordered it this way. This means her purpose is to take care of her spouse and always be there. And Irina intends to do this as long as fate allows her.
New career
From 2006 to 2009, Ilya Reznik, who received the title of People’s Artist of the Russian Federation three years earlier, takes part in the “Two Stars” show as a jury. His presence in the program became so familiar to viewers that they could not immediately get used to the fact that he did not appear in the next season in 2012.
Reznik with Pugacheva
Since 2007, Ilya Reznikov began his political career, heading the Public Council under the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation, and since 2011 he was elected chairman. But since February 2013, the political career of the songwriter ceased due to the fact that he violated traffic rules and became the main figure in the unfolding scandal. In those years, many programs were based on controversial facts from the personal life of the famous Ilya Reznikov, which touched the artist’s heartstrings. Then the poet again violated the traffic rules by driving onto the median on Kutuzovsky Prospekt. This attracted public attention as the video was posted on YouTube. After this, the man wrote a letter of resignation from his post.
Currently, Ilya Reznik continues to collaborate with show business stars and writes beautiful songs, which are then performed on the big stage. Periodically, the poet appears in films at the invitation of directors and screenwriters:
- in the three-part adventure film “The Suicide Club, or The Adventures of the Titled Person” (1979) as a criminal in a wheelchair;
- in an episode of the biographical film “I Came and Say” (1985), telling the story of the life and work of Alla Pugacheva, acting both as a director and a cameo actor;
- in the melodrama “Diamonds for Juliet” in the image of the oligarch Igor Leonidovich.
Ilya Reznik also periodically takes part in filming, performing in minor roles if he considers the film worthy. His texts are heard not only on stage, but also in films. From the pen of the brilliant author came many songs, numbering in the hundreds, as well as children's poems and many popular books.
In the present, the author and songwriter, passionate about creativity, continues to create and is the owner of the theater that bears his name. The monastery of art puts on wonderful performances written by famous authors, as well as Ilya Reznikov himself.
