Everyone has probably heard about the famous Ukrainian singer Ani Lorak, but little is known about the men in her life. Currently, the Eurovision 2008 star is officially married. Ani Lorak's husband is a Turkish businessman and co-owner of one of the travel agencies. Little is known about him, since the man is always in the shadow of the glory of his star wife, but this state of affairs suits him very much.
Difficult childhood
The unknown Carolina Kuek, as the star is called according to her passport, was born in the first month of autumn, and her birthday fell on September 27, 1978. It’s difficult to call the childhood of a girl from a large family rosy. Caroline’s mom and dad separated even before she was born, and having been born in the small town of Kitsman, in the Chernivtsi region of Ukraine, she was doomed to a hungry existence in a large family.
The parents of the future star were creative people : his father was a well-known journalist in Ukraine, and his mother was a radio announcer. Despite this, the girl practically did not see her mother, since she constantly worked in order to somehow feed her growing offspring. Having married again and given birth to another child, Caroline’s mother sent her older children to boarding school No. 4 in Chernivtsi.
Until the 7th grade, the girl studied in a closed educational institution with her two brothers, and then, dreaming of quickly escaping from behind the harsh walls, Carolina made the first decisive act in her life : she took her documents and deliberately transferred to a regular school, but even there It wasn't easy for her. Her classmates constantly made fun of the thin, poorly dressed girl, calling her different names.
No one ever doubted that Carolina would be a star. At any free and appropriate moment the girl sang. From the age of 4, the young talent took part in all possible music competitions and festivals. The family of Ani Lorak, as she would be called later, did not support her, and she made her own way everywhere.
First feelings
But what about the personal and family life of a dark-haired beauty with a gorgeous voice of almost 5 octaves? There are not many men in the singer’s official biography. The first on this list is producer Julius Thalesa, who lived with Caroline in a civil marriage for eight years.
The difference between a young mentee and a producer is 17 years. During its existence, their unofficial family experienced many personal difficulties .
It is known that it was for Caroline’s sake that the man, who at that time had reached the age of 35, even divorced his first wife Olga. Yuri has three children from her.
It is known that after several years of living with her producer, the young ward fell in love and openly confessed to Yuri her feelings for another man. The couple broke up, but the experienced Thales was in no hurry to break ties with the young performer and turned out to be right. After some time, Caroline returned to the man, but the old relationship could no longer be returned.
After an unpleasant and painful break in both personal and working relationships with an adult mentor, Ani Lorak signed a contract with the master of Russian show business, composer Igor Krutoy, and actively immersed herself in work. There was no talk about her personal life; the artist worked day and night, recording new songs and releasing albums. During the time after Thalesa, her repertoire was replenished with new songs in duets with famous Russian performers.
Family photos and “hints” from Ani Lorak
The singer and her husband continued to be active on social networks. Thus, in one of the publications, Carolina indicated that “her choice will be made.” And although this concerned the Russian show “The Voice,” in which Lorak is one of the coaches, fans still discussed the singer’s words, being sure that they concerned not only her choice on the show, but also in her personal life.
The first family photo after the scandal appeared on the page of Murat Nalchadzhioglu. The man posted a sweet selfie with Ani Lorak and their daughter Sofia, who went to first grade that day. Fans of the couple have hope that the couple are back together and they managed to overcome the crisis. Along with the photo, an ambiguous message asking for forgiveness appeared on Murat’s page. A Turkish businessman turned to God and asked him to “forgive all his mistakes.”

It looks like the fans' hopes were in vain. Later, Ani Lorak’s statement appeared in the press that “she does not forgive betrayal.”
A couple of weeks later, Murat touchingly congratulated Ani Lorak on her anniversary online. “Happy birthday, my endless love, I wish you all the best, health, happiness, harmony in your soul, may God always protect you,” Murat wrote then.
Later, fans saw a hidden meaning in Ani Lorak’s new song “Dream”. Netizens noted that the hit is clearly dedicated to Ani Lorak’s husband, Murat Nalchadzhioglu, and with the help of Lorak’s composition, he reveals a personal drama.
Meeting with Murat
Another unexpected turn in the personal life of the young performer occurred in 2005.
Going on vacation to a Turkish resort in one of the hotels in Antalya, the Ukrainian beauty had no idea that fate had prepared another gift for her - a meeting with her future husband.
The manager of the hotel where the singer was staying, Murat Nalchadzhioglu, noticed the spectacular Ukrainian woman on the day of her arrival, but the man did not know who she was. Approaching the vacationing Ani Lorak, the handsome Turk invited her to a restaurant with karaoke. Responding to the invitation, the artist told her fan with a smile that “her vocals will cost him dearly.”
Reactions of fans and publications of Murat and Lorak on social networks
Neither Ani Lorak nor Murat Nalchadzhioglu officially commented on everything that happened. After the hype raised by the press and fans of the artist, Ani Lorak completely “disappeared” from social networks for several days, which excited her fans. The singer's fans expressed support for her in the comments under posts on her Instagram page.
Later, the singer broke her silence by publishing a photo, which was received ambiguously by her subscribers. Many noticed that the artist did not have a wedding ring on her finger, which fueled rumors about her divorce from her husband.

Wanting to feel sorry for their beloved singer in every possible way, her fans began to predict a bright future and changes for the better for the artist. And although the singer did not give a reason, the fans decided to “marry” her with Sergei Lazarev, with whom, as you know, Ani Lorak is on friendly terms.

After all of the above events, both Murat and Carolina began to make publications on social networks with half-hints and their reactions to what was happening. So, on Instagram stories, Murat published a short message in which he urged the public not to judge his actions and feelings. Ani Lorak did not lag behind her husband, publishing photos and videos in which her fans saw a “secret” meaning.
Wedding and family
The persistent Turk sought Karolina-Ani’s hand for several years, and in 2009, the star of Ukrainian show business gave up and said “yes.” A modest marriage ceremony took place in Kyiv, but the luxurious wedding was amazing in its scope in Turkey in the groom’s homeland. The artist’s husband supports his chosen one in every possible way and even moved to Ukraine for the sake of a real family and received citizenship.
Ardent Turk
Little is known about Murat Nalchadzhioglu himself. According to the horoscope, Lorak's husband is Gemini, and was born on June 12, 1977. The boy grew up in a large family and at the age of 14 he was forced to go to work, since there was no one to support his mother and three sisters. He has a godfather, whom the man considers his adoptive father, his name is Talkh. It was he who brought the boy into the public eye and helped him acquire a profession.
It is noteworthy that at the beginning of the relationship between his ward and the Ukrainian star, Talkh was against it. He did not see a future in the romance of young people and considered it a hobby, but in the end he blessed the couple. It was he who gave part of the shares of the famous tourist resort to Murat. Now Carolina’s husband is engaged in the restaurant and club business in the capitals of Ukraine and Turkey.
Having been married for 9 years, the artist notes that everything happened in their family life. Murat could not get used to her busy tour schedule and constant camera flashes. There was jealousy and even mistrust, but now this is all in the past.
The latest news almost upset fans of the beautiful couple, but it turned out to be just gossip from enemies. Recently, information appeared in the Ukrainian media that the couple was divorcing and the Nalchadzhioglu family was in a critical situation and on the verge of collapse. The spouses themselves prove the opposite with all their appearance, but they have always said and will say different things about stars.
Personal life
Murat Nalchadzhioglu and Ani Lorak first met in 2005 in Antalya, where the singer was vacationing. The young people immediately liked each other, but Ani, like a reasonable girl, did not rush headlong into the pool of passion. A year after they met, living in different countries, the couple communicated via SMS and rare phone calls.

And even here, Ani first thought about whether it was worth getting involved with a complete stranger. But you can’t escape fate - a year later Ani Lorak came to Turkey to the same hotel, this time for work, not for vacation. And Murat was waiting for his beloved.
In 2006, the future husband of the Ukrainian star moved to Kyiv. For several years, Murat waited for the singer to become his wife and gradually learned Russian. Ani Lorak, in an interview with Antenna-Telesem, shared that the first Russian book he read was the story of Cheburashka. Nalchadzhioglu loved this character so much that he got a tattoo on his shoulder with the image of an unprecedented animal.

Despite the fact that he is far from music, Murat supported his beloved, even went with her to Eurovision in 2008, where the singer took second place. In 2009, the couple finally got married. First, the young couple legalized their relationship in the Kiev registry office, then in Turkey they organized magnificent wedding celebrations. And in 2011, Murat and Ani became parents - their daughter Sofia was born. The father came up with the name for the baby.
Temperamental, easy to communicate with, Ani Lorak’s husband, according to the singer herself, is a family man. Perhaps that is why not only the full biography, but also the height and weight of Murat Nalchadzhioglu is a mystery to the public, who know about the Turkish citizen mainly only what is connected with his star wife. The couple tries not to flaunt their personal life and rarely go out together.

The media has little reason to write about Nalchadzhioglu, but reporters will always find something to please lovers of other people’s personal lives. Thus, they wrote about Murat that due to his wife’s busy schedule, he almost left Kiev for Turkey, which had already become a second home for the man. In 2020, the Internet was full of rumors that Murat and Ani were on the verge of divorce - photos and videos from Nalchadzhioglu’s parties with outside beauties that appeared on the Internet did their job. But the couple kept the family together.
