Childhood and youth
Shpitsa Ekaterina Anatolyevna was born in Perm on October 29, 1985. At that time, the parents of the future actress lived in the town of Inta, Komi Republic, but the girl could not wait to be born, and she was born a month earlier, when her mother was visiting her grandmother Katya.
The actress’s father is Ukrainian, worked as a miner, and later opened a furniture manufacturing business, and the girl’s mother is a criminal lawyer. Now Ekaterina says that she was like her mother in character, an easy-going and sociable person. She sings well, loves art, and these same interests were passed on to her daughter.
Ekaterina Shpitsa in childhood
When Katya turned 13, the family moved from Inta to Perm, where the girl went to school with in-depth study of the French language. Then Spitz began to show acting abilities. The school organized a French-speaking theater, where the young artist performed in productions in French. Katerina liked going on stage, so she entered the KOD theater studio. After 2 years, Spitz was transferred to the senior staff of the New Drama Theater. These were the best years of formation and enrichment of experience. The actress toured, played leading roles, and did what she loved.
After school, Ekaterina Shpitsa entered the local institute of culture in the acting department of the Faculty of Arts. At the same time, the girl became a student at the Faculty of Law of Perm State University.
Ekaterina Shpitsa with her parents
Ekaterina’s love for the stage manifested itself in childhood, but at first the girl dreamed of being not an actress, but a pop singer. Spitz only needed one casting, at which Alla Pugacheva refused the young artist. When the movie star later spoke about this, rumors appeared that the long-standing casting gave rise to a conflict with Pugacheva. In fact, Katya is grateful to the Prima Donna: if not for this refusal, she would have sung as the opening act for Alla Borisovna or other celebrities, instead of finding herself in cinema.
Happy chosen one
As a rule, media personalities prefer to keep their relationships with partners a secret, but this does not apply to Spitz. The fact that she has a fiancé, Ruslan Panov, is known to everyone who periodically looks at new photos of a celebrity.
In October 2020, Katerina received a marriage proposal from her lover, who decided to do it in an original way and, following the example of the actress, went on stage. The Spitz agreed, but did not rush into the wedding - the woman is comfortable in the status of a bride, and she is not yet ready to exchange the period of beautiful romantic courtship for routine household obligations.

In the biography of Ekaterina Shpitsa, a chain of random events turned into a happy pattern, which ultimately made the provincial girl a popular and recognizable artist.
Ekaterina Shpitsa in her youth
As a 10th grade student, Katya won a beauty contest, judged by musicians from the Scorpions group. Then she had to meet the photographer who was selecting the models. The podium did not shine on Spitz - his height of 160 cm did not allow him. At the graduation, the showman who was directly hosting the evening drew attention to the girl. Having reached the age of majority, Katya went to work as a dancer in one of the city clubs.
In 2005, another unforeseen accident happened to Ekaterina. During an unscheduled visit to Moscow, Katya was offered to participate in a casting for modeling agencies, which Shpitsa successfully passed.

In the film, Ekaterina plays a sweet and gentle girl Vera, but at the premiere of “Friday” the actress amazed fans in a completely different way - Spitz appeared in a daring dress with a completely transparent top.

Some fans believe that this is why Ekaterina entered the top 100 sexiest Russian women. The list was published in Maxim magazine. But not everyone liked Catherine’s appearance; critics began to appeal to her age and status in society. Be that as it may, the dress attracted mass attention to the actress.
Shows and TV projects
The popular actress was often invited to television. In 2013, Spitz hosted the sports show “Vyshka,” in which celebrities tried their hand at difficult diving. In the same year, Ekaterina herself took part in another sports program - she became a partner of figure skater Maxim Stavisky in the show “Ice Age”.
The training turned out to be difficult for the actress; during the next rehearsal, she fell from the support onto the ice. Due to the fall, the girl lost consciousness and was taken away in an ambulance. Later it turned out that the actress did not have a traumatic brain injury, and Spitz returned to the set on the same day in the evening edition of the program. The couple's performances were quite successful, and at the end of the 9th stage, Ekaterina and Maxim received the audience award.

The actress rented an apartment for several years in one of the capital's skyscrapers on the 21st floor. She moved here shortly after her divorce from stuntman Konstantin Adaev and took their common son German with her. The actress's parents from Perm came to look after the boy.
Representatives of different generations managed to get along on the same territory without difficulty. Katerina has a very good relationship with her parents.
True, she is not at home often: touring and filming do not allow her to spend more time with her family.
