In 2003, at a casting for one of his films, Valery Todorovsky met the young but very talented actress Evgenia Brik. The actress is a native Muscovite. Since childhood, she had an attractive appearance, so she successfully worked in the modeling business. However, the girl’s sphere of interests was much wider. She studied foreign languages and studied at the music school named after. M. Rostropovich in piano class.
At the time of her acquaintance with Valery Todorovsky, the actress had already played several episodic roles in popular TV series: “Turkish March”, “Kamenskaya”. Thanks to her popularity, beauty and natural talent, she managed to hook the eminent director.
Valery Todorovsky and Evgenia Brik
At the time they met, Evgenia Brik was only 22 years old, and Todorovsky was 40 years old. Nevertheless, the beauty immediately won the director’s heart. Despite the huge age difference, a whirlwind romance began between them. After which the relationship moved into a more serious stage of their life. Today we can say for sure that they chose each other for a reason.
Valery Todorovsky has always been considered an exemplary family man and has never been a participant in major scandals. However, he chose to file for divorce from Victoria Tokareva and start living with his new chosen one. Of course, this was the decision of an adult man who, having become convinced of his reluctance to continue building a family, decided to leave.
This event shocked the entire acting environment. No one imagined that an adult director could leave his family for a young actress. Evgenia Vladimirovna Brik became the director’s companion, whom he had dreamed of for a long time.

The couple supports each other, and their family idyll continues to this day. There was no reason to doubt their love, although Valery’s actions towards his first wife were wrong.
However, this was not a fleeting romance, but a strong, serious relationship. In 2006, Valery Todorovsky and Evgenia Brik formalized their relationship. The couple lives in Los Angeles, and comes to Russia only for filming and social events. But sometimes headlines appear in the media with information that Valery Todorovsky and Evgenia Brik are getting divorced, which is not true.
The media very often launch rumors that are absolutely not worth believing. This is one of the most interesting acting couples who really delight the audience with interesting roles.
Family life
In 2009, the couple had a daughter, Zoya. She lives in the United States, where she receives her education. The parents don’t want to take their daughter to Russia yet. They believe that better conditions have been created for Zoya in America. The birth of a child became a highlight in their life together. Maybe thanks to her they support each other and find time for family recreation.
Their daughter has already started acting in films. She took part in the filming of the American series. However, parents are in no hurry to push their daughter into the acting profession. Zoya is studying foreign languages and is making great progress in her studies. As for her cinematic career, she has every chance of becoming famous in America.

Parents continue to actively work with domestic film studios, which allows them to always be aware of all events. But Evgenia and Valery spend most of their time separately.
Valery Todorovsky often stars the most beautiful actresses of our time in his films: Paulina Andreeva, Victoria Isakova, Anna Chipovskaya. However, Evgenia Brik is never jealous of her husband.
On the contrary, she often claims that a director should always be in love with his actresses; without this it is impossible to create. Such support from a wife is a clear example of trust in her husband. Maybe this is exactly what he lacked in his first marriage.
Evgenia Brik
Despite her youth and 19-year age difference with her husband, Evgenia has never been involved in major scandals and is considered an exemplary wife. She dreams of a large number of children and a happy family life.
Valery Todorovsky never stopped communicating with children from his first marriage. His son Peter works as a journalist, but wants to master his father’s profession, so he is studying directing courses. By the way, Peter’s son is like two peas in a pod like his father. Peter is married and has two children.

On May 8, director Valery TODOROVSKY, the creator of such film hits as “Hipsters” and “The Thaw,” celebrated his 55th birthday. “Big”, has been released
a film about the path to success of a Bolshoi Theater ballerina. We talked with Valery's mother Mira TODOROVSKAYA, the widow of the famous director Pyotr TODOROVSKY, who talked about her son and revealed some family secrets.
Valera is now on a business trip in Odessa, in the city where I gave him life,” Mira Grigorievna began the story. — By the way, Valera gave birth on the night of May 8-9 and always believed that it was his birthday on Victory Day. But it was officially recorded that he was born on the 8th. He grew up to be a hard worker, he has his father's genes. As a child, at my encouragement, he starred in the film “Strange Woman.” But I didn’t like being an actor.
- Why did you call him Valery?
When our boy was born, my husband’s grandfather was just dying. Grandfather was very ill and could barely move his tongue. When the baby was brought to him, he began to say, barely audibly: “Va-le-ra.” Petya and I never thought of giving such a name to the child, but my grandfather’s last word prevailed. They decided that this was a sign from above. The son was later not happy with our decision, but reconciled himself.
- How did he grow up?
Independent, a kind of hooligan excellent student. Petya and I worked a lot, so our child was often left to his own devices, hanging out on the street. I can’t say that my husband and I helped him a lot. He made himself, and the audience fell in love with his paintings. Of course, he took a risk, because only Todorovsky
I had already been to the cinema, but Valera was not afraid and won.
— Did you approve of his first marriage to Natalya Tokareva, the daughter of the writer and screenwriter Victoria Tokareva?
Natasha became pregnant, what could she do? She was 20, Valera was 23. However, her daughter-in-law, like her mother, Victoria Tokareva
I love and respect you very much. I never approached Valera with advice, did not say: “Don’t get married,” or vice versa, “Get married,” this is not acceptable among us. I am grateful to Natasha for her grandchildren Peter and Katya. The eldest is now 32 years old, he himself is already a father twice, raising Sergei and Anna, my great-grandchildren. True, Petya is more drawn to another grandmother, Victoria Tokareva, but does not often communicate with me and Valera. The second daughter of her son and Natasha is Katyusha, who is now 22 years old, too. Alas, there was no great love between us. We all work, busy people, so we don’t have tea parties every week.
— And
what is your relationship with your current daughter-in-law, actress Evgeniy Brik?
There aren't really any. It turned out that I avoid my daughters-in-law and we don’t see each other at all. Zhenya (I don’t understand, by the way, why she took the pseudonym Brick
instead of her last name
Khirivskaya
) gave birth to my son another child - Zoya. She's eight. In the case of Evgenia, by the way, Valera, like a noble man, also got married because Evgenia became pregnant. My granddaughter also rarely communicates with me. I haven’t seen Zoya’s other grandparents, Evgenia’s parents, at all, apparently they don’t need it. I didn’t look for them, if they wanted, they could communicate, but so why do I need it?
—Which marriage of your son—the first or the second—do you consider more successful?
He and his first wife were together for 20 years. She is very good, strong, wise, but they turned out to be too different. A wonderful woman, but not his. Of course, he is better off with his second wife, despite the fact that she is 20 years younger. And he behaves distantly towards me. I don’t know if there is crazy love between Valera and Zhenya, but they live - and thank God. For me, the main thing is that my son feels good. He is the closest person - he treats me tenderly and touchingly, this is enough for me, although I am an independent woman. I lived with my Peter for many years and realized that the most important thing in marriage is not to pull the blanket on yourself, but to try to be smart.
— Is your son a rich man?
First of all, talented. I never thought that he would have such business acumen and that he would also master the profession of a film producer. Valera is not a millionaire, I can’t call him very rich. As for me, I live in a country house. Someday Valera will get it. But I’m in no hurry to transfer to it yet. This wooden house at one time Marina Vladi
built. I really like her spirit. Then I built another house on the site, my son has an office there, he loves to be here.
— I heard that he and his wife mainly live in the USA?
Not true. He lives in Moscow. And in America they sometimes work, many people do this, but they will never go there for permanent residence.
Collaboration
In 2007, the director made the film “Vise”. This film is about a young man who is unwittingly involved in a criminal drug business. In this film, Evgenia Vladimirovna Brik played the minor role of the girl Taya. Of course, the role was not serious, but it allowed me to gain some experience and skills. In general, incredible prospects awaited her.

In 2008, the famous musical film “Hipsters,” which was also directed by Valery Todorovsky, was released on cinema screens. The wife got the role of Komsomol member Katya, who fought against violations committed by the youth of that time. Brick played a negative character, and she did a great job with this image. For her work in her husband's film, the actress was awarded several prestigious film awards.

Another major role in Valery Todorovsky’s film was played in the TV series “The Thaw”. Initially, Evgenia Brik was in contention for the main role in this film. However, she liked the image of Larisa more, so after consulting with her husband, she played this particular role. Viewers remember Evgenia Brik for her candid shots in the series, where the actress was filmed naked.
All major roles of Evgenia Brik, of course, were played in the films of Valery Todorovsky. However, it cannot be said that these roles were obtained only because the actress is married to a famous director.
