For several days the media has been trumpeting about the divorce of actors Ekaterina Klimova and Gela Meskhi. Allegedly, Katya filed an application for divorce in the Khamovnichesky Court of Moscow. So far the stars have not commented on the spat, but in vain: every day there are more and more rumors about their separation.
For example, journalists accused Gela of infidelity. He is credited with an affair with actress Catherine Assi, who is known to viewers from the TV series “Crew.” Allegedly, it was a flight attendant named Zhanna who destroyed the marriage of Klimova and Meskhi. Teleprogramma.pro portal correspondent Ekaterina Nesterenko got through to Katrin and asked her to respond to rumors about her affair with Gela:
“I won’t comment on this situation,” the girl answered briefly and hung up.

Talking about her childhood to journalists, the actress mentioned that at the age of 3 she and her family moved to the suburbs of Washington. There were parks near their house, so squirrels and roe deer were frequent guests, and in winter, bicycle racing was a must-have entertainment.

Catherine Assi in childhood with her brother
A few years after the birth of their daughter, the Assi couple moved to Russia, and Alina began fashionably dressing the stars of domestic show business. According to Katrin, from childhood she was raised in such a way that the main thing in a woman is grooming, inner state and the ability to present herself, and branded items in the image are not so important.
“Mom is my No. 1 friend. She taught me to be strong, believe in myself and achieve my goals. But when it comes to fashion, we did not immediately find an understanding. For as long as I can remember, I have always resisted her proposals. But my mother allowed me to express myself,” the artist admitted.

Catherine Assi and her mother Alina
From an early age, she showed creative abilities - while still in America, the girl tried to study vocals and theater arts, participating in children's performances at Ms. Cosby's Theater. So by the time she was in 7th grade at Bethesda-Chevy Chase High School, she knew for sure that she would connect her future exclusively with the stage.
Katrin received her certificate of secondary education at Moscow school No. 204, and then entered VGIK. Here she came under the wing of Vladimir Grammatikov and took a course with Sofia Vilenchik (2nd and 3rd parts of Molodezhka), Anastasia Stezhko (Policeman from Rublyovka) and Tatyana Khramova (Champions).
Movies
“My two favorite roles (so far) were in my 2nd year at VGIK, during the “independent excerpts” from Kondratiev’s “Sashka” and Bulgakov’s “Zoyka’s Apartment.” Then I decided to take a risk and took something completely new and unknown. And this was the first victory! After that, I stopped being afraid of looking stupid,” admitted Assi.
Catherine Assi (still from the series “Deadly Training”)
The artist began acting in films while still a student. The first in his creative biography were the series “The Invisibles”, “Love from the Past” and the short films “Like Little Children” and “Elysium”. After graduating from university, the filmography was replenished year after year.
Having appeared in “The Fifth Watch” and “Killer Whale”, Katrin received notable roles in the lyrical comedy “Status: Single”, where Danila Kozlovsky and Elizaveta Boyarskaya were partners on the set, and the multi-episode “School of Survival from a Single Woman with Three Children in a Crisis” "
Catherine Assi (still from the TV series "Flying Crew")
And finally, in April 2018, the time came for the “Flying Crew” at STS, which assembled a truly stellar cast of Alexei Chadov, Sergei Belov, Daria Sagalova and Yulia Topolnitskaya. Here the heroine Assi was given the most famous name of a flight attendant thanks to the song of Vladimir Presnyakov Jr.
According to the plot, the pretty flight attendant Zhanna Glushko, although she had many fans, was not in a serious relationship. According to the actress, she is very similar to her in her energy and belief in great and pure love, but unlike the character, she would never dare to meddle in other people’s affairs unless she was persistently asked to do so. The series was renewed for season 2, and the premiere episode was released in December of this year.
Actress Catherine Assi: Why drinking coffee on a plane is very harmful
Catherine Assi, photo from the personal archive of the actress Catherine Assi graduated from VGIK (workshop of V. A. Grammatikov).
The viewer knows the actress from such films and TV series as “The Invisibles”, “Fifth Watch”, “The Missing Groom”, “Survival School for a Single Woman with Three Children in a Crisis”, “Flying Crew”, etc. From December 2 on the channel STS began showing the series “Kitchen. War for the Hotel”, where Catherine Assi played one of the roles. — Katrin, what interested you in the role in the TV series “Kitchen. War for the hotel? What was the atmosphere like on set?
— The atmosphere was wonderful, it was a lot of fun. I worked with great professionals. I watched all the seasons of “The Kitchen,” and when my agent said that I would be auditioning for the continuation of the cult series, I was incredibly happy.
I have a very interesting character, the maid Verka is a young, ambitious girl. Knows what he wants. He loves chocolates very much.
It’s interesting that on another STS project “Flying Crew” my heroine, flight attendant Zhanna, also loves sweets very much - she loves donuts. And I have a sweet tooth in real life. I’m indifferent to flour, but I love chocolate.
— How did you master the profession of a flight attendant? Were there any consultants on the set?
- There were, of course. A professional flight attendant came to visit us. They explained to us how to properly brief passengers, and we learned certain rules of conduct for flight attendants. I learned a lot of interesting things for myself. For example, about coffee. I am a big fan of this drink and have never limited myself to it on a plane before. But during the filming I learned that the passenger was very severely dehydrated and it was better to drink plain water. And coffee retains water in the body. And I stopped drinking coffee during flights and noticed that since then I began to feel much better.

— Do you fly often in your life? What's the most exotic trip you've had?
— A couple of weeks ago I flew to Gorny Altai. I learned about the amazing “antler baths”. This is a therapeutic procedure that greatly improves the immune system. I arrived at a sanatorium that is open all season. They have the best medical equipment and everything is done on a professional basis.
Antlers are the horns of deer. The sanatorium has its own maral, workers monitor and care for the animals. Every deer is registered. A special broth is made from these antlers. And the sanatorium patients receive procedures there. People come to that place from all over the world. I was there for seven days, taking “antler baths” twice a day, enjoying the air, the silence and the beautiful mountain scenery.
Then, there was also a procedure called “barrel”. You sit in a small barrel with herbal infusions - only your head sticks out! – and enjoy the healing smell of Gorno-Altai herbs. And then delicious tea with honey awaits you. I returned to Moscow refreshed, rested, and now I plan to fly to the Altai Mountains at least once a year.
— Which seasoned actors have you worked with? How did they surprise you?
— I had a very interesting case. Vladimir Mashkov starred in one film. And I was invited there as a consultant. Vladimir needed to speak Arabic and English. And I worked with him for several days on voice acting, because I know both English and Arabic well. Helped edit the text and pronounce some phrases. Vladimir Mashkov is a great professional. He simply amazed me, he grasped everything on the fly. It was a pleasure to work with him.
— What did you specifically train for this or that role?
— I graduated from VGIK in 2013. And there we were taught stage movement and fencing. And this helped me a lot in the future. Because you have to be in good physical shape when filming. I starred in an American film, and there I performed a rather difficult stunt myself. I had to jump successfully, naturally, everything was prepared there: there were mats, there were specially trained stuntmen, but if I didn’t have excellent physical shape, I wouldn’t be able to perform this trick on my own. The film did quite well at the box office.
— In your opinion, does beauty help in the acting profession, or does it sometimes hinder?
— I take the position that your role will never leave you. The roles that are destined for you will be yours. I believe that you shouldn’t be afraid to look something different than in life. This is generally a priority, one of the most important points that you need to be a successful actor, to show different facets of your capabilities. You shouldn't be afraid to change in favor of the character. Don't be afraid of how you look on camera, because it's not you, it's the character.
In general, I think that all people are beautiful. Everyone is beautiful in different ways, and that’s its own charm.
— You starred in the film “Fortune Teller”. Do you yourself believe in fortune telling, in predictions? Do you have developed intuition?
— In my opinion, all women have well-developed intuition. Very often the first thought about something is correct. Regarding fortune telling and predictions. I think it's all just interesting fun.
— Who is your idol among Western actresses?
— I really like Meryl Streep. She can transform herself endlessly. No wonder she has so many Oscars. For me, Meryl Streep is one of the strongest actresses of our time. Every film she makes is 100% immersed in the role.
— What was your happiest day in your life?
“It seems to me that every day is happiness, because it brings something new!” I try to find something interesting and positive in every day, to do something that will bring me at least one step closer to my goals.

Personal life
As for his personal life, Assi prefers to remain steadfastly silent. There are no compromising or provocative photographs on social networks that could be used to identify her chosen one. But the actress is generous with her photos with work colleagues and friends.

Also, among others, you can find publications from vacations in chic swimsuits, showing off a slender figure, and fashion shows. By the way, Katrin does not refuse her mother, willingly agreeing to act as a model for her new collections.
However, this did not save her from persistent rumors that it was she who was the reason for the divorce of Ekaterina Klimova and Gela Meskhi. However, guesswork remains guesswork - there has been no official confirmation of the couple’s status.

It all started when the actors were noticed in each other’s company at the Moscow Film Festival 2020.
“Sparks literally flew between Katrin and Gela that evening: Klimova’s husband devoured his companion with his eyes, tried not to let her out of his arms and kept taking her hand,” wrote numerous media outlets.
Catherine, having seen the media reports, hastened to refute the press’s assumptions, saying that she had hugged an old friend, and the journalists had made a whole story out of it.
It is worth noting that at the social event, the petite brunette (height 164 cm and weight 55 kg) really looked stunning - a cropped shiny top and a pink, white and burgundy fluffy floor-length skirt. And it couldn’t be any other way if my mother is a designer.
Personal life of Catherine Assi
Being at the initial stage of her film career, Katrin understands how important it is for her to show all sides of her acting talent, and strives to use her time rationally. However, with a busy filming schedule, she has no time left for her personal life. This is exactly what the star tells fans who want to know if that lucky man who managed to win her heart exists. In June 2020, the news that Katrin caused the divorce of Ekaterina Klimova and her young husband Gela Meskhi literally stunned Russian Internet users. However, this news came as an even bigger shock for Catherine herself. “What's going on, friends? Why are you so angry? Without reliable information, you are ready to start throwing stones at anyone,” the actress wrote.

It turned out that Gela Meskhi was her old friend, but as soon as she warmly greeted him backstage, this moment was captured in photos that later hit the Internet. Catherine urged people to learn to respect themselves and others, and to believe that a woman and a man who have known each other for a long time can hug when they meet.
Katrin also denies a romantic relationship with the grandson of the Russian Diva - and such rumors circulate in the media space. She is connected with Nikita Presnyakov only by long-term friendship and sincere sympathy, especially since the young musician is happily married to Alena Krasnova.

“Open and kind,” this is what her friends and colleagues say about Katrin. It is known that the young actress appreciates her parents for the support they give her and is very proud of her resemblance to her mother.
Catherine Assi now
In mid-February 2019, Channel One aired the detective-mystical “Fortune Teller” with the participation of Assi. And the very next month she was invited as an independent expert on the “Fashionable Verdict” program.

Best works
For just over three years, the young actress starred in TV series and short films, playing supporting roles, and in 2020 she received her first independent role. In the positive and life-affirming sitcom “Survival School from a Single Woman with Three Children in a Crisis,” Katrin played the role of the eldest daughter of the main character.

In the 2020 detective mini-series “Deadly Training,” the actress collaborated with Ekaterina Kopanova, Yan Tsapnik, and Stanislav Bondarenko. In this psychodramatic story from the masters of the Russian detective novel Anna and Sergei Litvinov, Katrin convincingly portrayed a cunning fraudster and amazed the audience with a new facet of her talent. The acting ensemble, luxurious scenery, leisurely narration and unpredictable development of storylines put the film on a par with the best works of European directors.
In the incendiary sitcom “Cool Crew,” the young star again demonstrated her comedic talent, playing the role of flight attendant Zhanna, a flirtatious dreamer who cannot imagine her life without social networks and romance novels. Despite the apparent simplicity, the heroine Catherine is not at all stupid, but her inability to lie, naivety and desire to trust people always put her in awkward and comical situations.
