early years
Santa Yanisovna Dimopoulos was born on May 21, 1987 in the capital of Ukraine, Kyiv. The girl's full name is Chrysanthia. Her mother is Ukrainian, and her father has Greek and Assyrian roots, so it is not surprising that Santa has not only an unusual name, but also an amazing appearance.
From a very early age she did not sit still. The parents immediately realized that their daughter had great creative potential, so she enjoyed dancing and went to pop singing classes. Thanks to perseverance and an endless love for dancing, she reached the professional level and even became a master of sports. Well, little Santa loved the stage very much. She was not afraid of anyone or shy, but on the contrary, she always strived to show herself.
“My dad was always gentle and never raised his voice. Despite this, he had enormous authority among everyone around him. He was very kind, and it attracted people like a magnet.”
When Santa was still a very little girl, her parents divorced, but her father still did not stop taking care of his daughter. He instilled in her his culture and taught her values. Unfortunately, when Santa turned 17, his father became seriously ill with cancer and soon passed away. “My dad was always gentle and never raised his voice. Despite this, he had enormous authority among everyone around him. He was very kind, and it attracted people like a magnet,” the girl recalls fondly. She also has a sister on her mother’s side, who always supports her in everything.
After school, on the instructions of her mother, the future singer went to the Faculty of Law of the Kyiv National University named after T. Shevchenko, although she did not have a particular love for science. Studying seemed completely boring to her, so it was decided to do something more interesting at the same time.
Modeling career
Few people know, but the future performer’s stellar career began with modeling. It was during my student days, when studying was not at all inspiring, that Santa walked the catwalk for the first time. This is how her work began at the Karin modeling agency, which, by the way, was very successful, because in 2006, when the model was 19 years old, she took bronze at the Miss Universe Ukraine competition.
“Until recently I thought that I wouldn’t go anywhere, but my beloved supported me and said that everything would work out. Sometimes the support of loved ones is more important than anything in the world.”
And in 2011 in Thailand, at the cost of long and exhausting training, Santa won the title of world champion in bodybuilding and fitness. Surprisingly, the model did not want to fly to Bangkok at all, because she believed that she was training exclusively for herself. And even though she does her best in training, it’s still not enough to go to the World Championships. Santa understood that being able to believe in one’s abilities is one of the most important qualities on the path to self-improvement, so she still went to the competition. “Until recently I thought that I wouldn’t go anywhere, but my beloved supported me and said that everything would work out. Sometimes the support of loved ones is more important than anything else,” the model shared.
Childhood and youth
Santa Dimopoulos was born into a Ukrainian and Greek family, so from childhood she absorbed the culture of both nations equally well. In addition to secondary school, the girl attended music (pop vocals) and dance (she studied professionally, received the title of Master of Sports) clubs. At school she actively participated in all events and loved the stage.
Santa Dimopoulos in childhood and now
I never felt a particular craving for science and exact knowledge, but at the guidance of my parents I entered the Faculty of Law of the Kyiv National University and in 2011 received a diploma of higher education. But the work of a lawyer seemed incredibly boring to Santa, so soon after graduating from university she firmly decided to connect her life with the stage.

By the way, during her student years the girl made her debut on the podium; Moreover, in 2006 she took third place in the Miss Universe Ukraine beauty contest. And in 2011, she won a competition in Thailand and became the absolute world champion in bodybuilding and fitness.

Participation in “Star Factory-3” and musical career
The great desire to be recognized and do what she liked did not stop Santa at anything. So, in 2009, she went to the casting of the Ukrainian television project “Star Factory-3”, produced by Konstantin Meladze. And even though she didn’t become the winner of the show, the experience she gained at the Factory was simply colossal.
At the same time, Santa became the lead singer of the group “Seventh Heaven”, recorded several tracks and even managed to star in videos for the songs “About Love” and “Stranger”. The performer still remembers with trepidation the time spent in this group. This was her first experience of serious musical activity, she experienced ups and downs, disagreements and reconciliations. However, after some time, the performer left the group of her own free will and set off to conquer new heights. She doesn’t blame anyone or be offended by anyone, she just realized that she needs to grow and develop further.
In December 2011, she became the soloist of the VIA Gra group, replacing Nadezhda Granovskaya. Her colleagues were Eva Bushmina, a finalist of the same “Star Factory-3,” and Albina Dzhanabaeva. They gave incendiary concerts, gathering a huge number of fans in the halls. In February 2012, a video clip for the touching and heartbreaking song “Hello, Mom” was released, which to date has collected almost four million views.
At the same time, the song “I Don’t Know Why” appeared on the Internet, recorded together with performer Vasily Bondarchuk. In addition to her vocal abilities, Santa showed fans her acting skills. In 2010, she starred in an advertisement for Ukrsibbank, and a year later appeared in an advertisement for the EnerGo energy drink from the Biola brand.
Despite the fact that Santa sang in a group, she was always drawn to a solo career. In October 2012, she left VIA Gra. At that time, she was already quite popular and discussed, she was published in various magazines and newspapers, and she gave numerous interviews. Having started performing as a solo artist, she received good support and even more fans. The first single was the song “When We Move” in English. The video clip was released in May 2013. Next came the songs “In Joy and Sorrow” and “Running Away.”
“Singing is my life, but in order to achieve success in show business, you need to forget about personal feelings and experiences and learn to get over yourself. In general, everyone uses each other there, but I can’t do that.”
In parallel with her creative career, Santa wanted to try something new and, together with her close friend Yulia Kovaleva, she opened the first branded consignment boutique in Ukraine. She moved away from music a little at that time. The girl continued to perform, but did not give many concerts. “Singing is my life,” the singer admits, “but in order to achieve success in show business, you need to forget about personal feelings and experiences and learn to get over yourself. In general, everyone uses each other there, but I can’t do that.”
Music
In addition to excellent plasticity, the girl also had good vocal abilities. The first stage of Dimopoulos’s singing biography began with participation in a little-known Ukrainian group, which was called “Seventh Heaven”. With members of the musical group, Santa appeared in the videos for the hits “About Love” and “Stranger”. But soon Dimopoulos left the team.
The second step up was the popular TV project “Star Factory”. The Kiev resident appeared in the 3rd season of the Ukrainian show in 2009. Here, Konstantin Meladze, who acted as the producer of the project, drew attention to the bright performer. The seriousness of the project was given by the presence of influential people on the jury - producer of Russian Radio in Ukraine Sergei Kuzin, choreographer Dmitry Kolyadenko, television producer Valentin Koval, producer of the New Channel Irina Lysenko.
Dimopoulos did not last long on the TV show and left long before the finale. Konstantin Meladze had to remember Santa in December 2011, when Nadezhda Granovskaya left VIA Gra. The Kiev resident replaced the soloist who left the band. Together with Santa, another participant of “Star Factory-3”, finalist of the competition Eva Bushmina and Albina Dzhanabaeva, appeared in the team. As part of the trio, the girl went on tours and participated in photo shoots.
But already in October of the following year, Dimopoulos left VIA Gra. In its composition, she managed to sing only one hit called “Hello, Mom!” Director Alan Badoev shot a video for this composition that will be remembered by many.
Another song that appeared in the singer’s repertoire during this period is the duet “I Don’t Know Why,” performed together with Vasily Bondarchuk. In 2012, Santa released a video for the hit “In Joy and Sorrow,” where footage appeared in which the singer appeared together with Vladimir Samsonenko.
Santa Dimopoulos announced plans to start a solo career. And indeed, in the spring of 2013, the artist presented her debut song, called “When We Move.” The recording of the next musical composition was not long in coming - soon the hit “Running Away” appeared. To date, the singer has recorded 4 singles.
It soon became known that the former VIA Gra participant was seriously thinking about an acting career. In addition to participating in the filming of commercials for UkrSibbank and the EnerGo drink of the Biola brand, the girl decided to receive specialized acting education. In 2014, Santa announced the successful completion of the New York Film Academy.
Santa Dimopoulos, while remaining a singer, actress, and model, manages to build a business career. In 2013, the girl tried herself as an organizer of the Gold Vintage brand boutique, which she opened together with her colleague Yulia Kovaleva.
In November 2020, the artist undertook a reboot of her singing career. Together with ex-soloists of VIA Gra Olga Romanovskaya and Tatyana Kotova, the girl became a member of a new musical group organized by producer Sergei Kovalev.
The team received the loud name “Queens”. Soon, the girls’ first single, “Why,” was released, which immediately ended up in the concert program of the Golden Gramophone award ceremony of the year and in the rotation of leading radio channels in Ukraine and Russia. The group did not last long in this composition; already in April 2020, the girls were replaced by successors.

In November 2020, Santa Dimopoulos shared good news with her fans. She uploaded a joint photo with Olga Romanovskaya and Tatyana Kotova, former members of the VIA Gra trio and wrote: “I am very happy to work next to such girls: smart, talented and beautiful. It was you who contributed to my return to big show business. When we're together it's really cool." Their producer was Sergei Kovalev.
“I am very happy to work next to such girls: smart, talented and beautiful. It was you who contributed to my return to big show business. When we're together it's really cool."
On November 15, at a press conference, it was announced that the new band was called “Queens,” and a few days later, the premiere of their song “Why” took place. It was exciting, but the girls adequately presented their composition at the Golden Gramophone award at the Olympic Sports Complex. She immediately started playing on all radio stations and plays to this day.

However, no matter how friendly the team was, in April 2020, for a number of reasons, three members left the group at once, and new ones took their place.

Personal life. Relationship with Andrey Dzhedzhula
Santa's personal life has never been hidden behind seven seals. It was discussed and articles were written about it. At the very beginning of her modeling career, she began dating actor and presenter Andrei Dzhedzhula. Their relationship developed very dynamically, and after some time the girl moved to live with him.
“When I was 12 years old, I absolutely loved the name Daniel. I dreamed that when I grow up, I would definitely name my son that way.”
Then she was still a student, and was no longer very interested in studies, and in her third year she shocked her family and Andrei with the news that she was pregnant. “When I was 12 years old,” the singer recalls, “I absolutely loved the name Daniel. I dreamed that when I grow up, I would definitely name my son that way.”
Son Daniel was born on October 29, 2008, and the whole family was immensely happy. It's a pity that it won't last long. Since Dzhedzhuly’s showman’s career was taking off, and Santa’s star life was just beginning, the singer’s mother took care of the child all the time.
Then they began to say on the Internet that the rising star left her son with nannies in order to take part in the “Star Factory”. No one knows for sure exactly when quarrels and scandals began in the family of Santa and Andrey, but, obviously, her participation in the show did not pass without a trace. In 2010, the couple separated, but the problems were far from over, because they have a common son, and both parents have equal rights to him.
There was really a lot of talk about their relationship. Immediately after the breakup, news began to appear on the Internet that Dzhedzhula intended to sue his former passion. When Santa violated a contract with one of the Ukrainian TV channels, her property was seized, including the showman’s apartment, which Andrei bought out completely after breaking up. As it turned out later, the contract signed by the singer on the division of the apartment was already invalid, because at that time she knew very well that the apartment had been seized. In addition, the girl was accused of forging documents to take Daniel abroad, because the father did not give his permission for this, and in general was not aware that his son, accompanied by his mother and grandmother, was leaving Ukraine.
The passions did not subside for many years, and on November 20, 2014, Andrei was attacked right under his house. The unknown people did not intend to rob the showman; it was in their interests to inflict as much injury on him as possible. After the incident, Andrei gave an interview and admitted that he only suspected his ex-common-law wife Santa of the crime, because before that he had received threats from her more than once. But the girl, having heard these loud words, hastened to assure everyone that Andrey only wanted to promote himself.
Relationship with millionaire Vladimir Samsonenko
After breaking up with the showman, the singer did not lose heart for a long time, and soon she began an affair with millionaire Vladimir Samsonenko. At the events, the lovers did not try to hide their feelings, but on the contrary, they literally glowed with happiness. This relationship was like a real fairy tale, and on September 18, 2012 it became a reality. The couple had a luxurious wedding in an expensive Italian restaurant; their photographs adorned many Ukrainian printed publications and Internet resources. They constantly delighted fans with fresh photos from their trips, because the newlyweds traveled halfway across Europe.
But less than a year had passed since the couple broke up, and later Santa admitted that their marriage was not real, and they were not officially married. Former lovers admit that they really had feelings for each other and after breaking up they will not stop maintaining friendly relations, something just didn’t work out. None of them comment on the real reason for the breakup.

Personal life of Santa Dimopoulos
The first marriage with DJ Andrei Dzhedzhula lasted less than four years. In 2008, the singer gave birth to a son, and in 2010 the stars broke up.
Two years later, Santa married successful entrepreneur Vladimir Samsonenko. The wedding took place in 2012, and in 2013 the couple filed for divorce and separated. There are rumors that Dimopoulos could not forgive her husband for his betrayal, but she herself does not explain the reason for the discord. Samsonenko claims that his relationship with Santa was like a fairy tale, and after breaking up they remained friends.
In 2020, the star walked down the aisle for the third time. Her chosen one was businessman Igor Kucherenko.
Relations with Igor Kucherenko
Recalling the experience of previous relationships, Santa decided that sharing all the changes in her personal life with fans was very reckless, and she carefully hid her new relationship from prying eyes. In the fall of 2020, the performer marries businessman and owner of a large chain of fitness clubs, Igor Kucherenko, and this time the wedding was really real. She is incredibly happy in this relationship, but this time she did not share their details on social networks. The couple is raising the singer’s son Daniel, and Santa enjoys spending time with Igor’s children from a previous marriage. The girl prefers not to respond to all the attacks and accusations that she took her husband away from the family, as she considers them stupid and groundless.
Before and after plastic surgery
Despite the fact that Santa received an exotic, attractive appearance from her parents, and with the help of intensive training she achieved an ideal, sculpted body, the thirst for change got the better of the singer. If we compare her “before” photos with those that appear on the Internet now, we can say with confidence that she often visits the cosmetologist and periodically pins up her lips, which have become much plumper over the years. Everything else, as the singer claims, is her own. By the way, thanks to sports and proper nutrition, with a height of 173 centimeters, the singer weighs only 52 kilograms.
