Elder sister
The age difference between Elena and Dmitry Bilan is 10 months. Today the singer’s older sister is 39 years old. It is known that the girl is developing her own clothing brand.
When an 18-year-old boy, Dmitry Bilan, left to conquer Moscow, he made a promise that, as soon as he became successful, he would definitely move his relatives to the capital. The singer kept his word. The first to move in with Dmitry was his older sister. Elena didn’t want to sit on her star brother’s neck, so she went to work as a waitress in a small cafe. Within its walls the girl met her future husband Gennady Zimin. Elena did not tell him that she was a relative of the famous Russian singer. Gennady first saw Dmitry when he came to visit his soul mate. After communicating with Zimin, Bilan approved the choice of his older sister.
In 2006, Elena and Gennady got married. Dmitry himself was present at the wedding. At the registry office there was a slight embarrassment between the young couple... because of their last name. At first, Bilan’s sister wanted to leave her last name, but the groom was categorically against it. Fortunately, the young people still managed to find a compromise. As a result, Elena became Belan-Zimina.
The wedding celebration took place in an expensive restaurant in the center of Moscow. There were not very many guests - 60 people. Surely many are interested in finding out what Dima Bilan gave to the young people. The Russian singer had to fork out a lot. His gift was a brand new Ford - the dream of any car enthusiast.
Over the 13 years of their marriage, Elena and Gennady have so far only had one child - daughter Alice.
New generation: Dima Bilan's sister Anna about family, failed engagement and music
Dima Bilan and his younger sister Anya have an age difference of 14 years, but this only makes their friendship stronger: they are very supportive of each other. By the way, she followed in her brother’s footsteps and is engaged in a solo project Otana (“That’s what they call fire in shamanism, and I thought that it suits my element and name - Anna is patronized by fire”), but […]

Dima Bilan and his younger sister Anya have an age difference of 14 years, but this only makes their friendship stronger: they are very supportive of each other. By the way, she followed in her brother’s footsteps and is engaged in a solo project Otana (“That’s what they call fire in shamanism, and I thought that it suits my element and name - Anna is patronized by fire”), but she does not plan to share the stage with Dima: “I want , so that my listeners do not perceive us as one whole. Still, Bilan should be alone.” Anya has been involved in music since childhood: her parents sent her to opera singing and piano, but she remembers this without much pleasure - she says they forced her.
Anya speaks with great warmth about her family, and especially about her brother: “Mom raised us so that we would always be for each other, because there is no one closer and never will be. We always stick together. Dima is cool. He doesn’t impose anything, he only gives advice if I ask. I can always turn to him at any time, but he always first says: “Go ahead.” Helps in a pinch." And he calls his older sister, Lena, his best friend.

By the way, Anya returned to Russia a little over a year ago from America, where she lived for five years: she graduated from high school there and entered the directing department in Los Angeles. He plans to continue doing this (he even has ideas for a big movie, but he wants to start with short films), and it will also come in handy in his musical career: “I will direct my videos myself.”
She says she believes in energy and messages into space. Her life credo: “In order for something to come into your life, you must do something: maybe even make a mistake, stumble. The Universe loves energy: how you give it is how you receive it.” And one of the main goals is the album, which she is already working on (Dima appreciated the drafts!).
She has many friends, but Anya trusts only a few, and keeps her personal life completely secret. When asked why, he answers briefly: “Nothing.” But then she still admits: “I was engaged in the States. I even have a song about it (we can’t confirm, but we assume that it’s about a 59 BPM track with the lines: “I’m here, you’re there, overseas.” – Note

ed
.). Now I’m glad that none of this happened – it was too early. I’m just starting to live and I want to be left to my own devices.” She describes her ideal young man as follows: “Intelligence, sense of humor, hard work, ambition - it is important for me that the person next to me has goals in life.”
She has little free time, and when she has a moment, she still thinks about creativity: on February 28, Anya performs as an opening act at her brother’s concert in St. Petersburg. “I am very demanding of myself. I feel as if I never did anything like that.”

According to the actor, he was not disappointed in women after divorces, because both were to blame for the breakup. But Andrei considers himself to blame to a greater extent, because he spends little time at home and does not always assess the situation objectively. Now Bilanov, by his own admission, is “happy and not alone.”
The man devotes his free time to children, photography, sculpting, collecting ship models and traveling. In 2019, the artist became a grandfather - Ekaterina gave him a granddaughter.

In May 2020, Andrei posted his biography and an appeal to fans on the official website, in which he asked fans not to believe rumors spread on the Internet and not to trust information from third-party sources. A year later, through a video on YouTube, Bilanov explained that he personally runs a page on Instagram, publishes photos, and this is the only platform for communicating with friends and colleagues.

Andrey Bilanov in 2020
Andrey tries himself in musical creativity - he recorded his debut album “My Heartbeat”, which included both songs and poems performed by him.
The actor does not hide that he plans to leave Russia. As long as he is in demand, he can provide a decent life for himself and his children. But he admits that he would not want to exist on a pension of $100-150, forgotten by colleagues and fans.
Some facts from Bilan's biography
Dmitry was born in the winter of 1981. His childhood was spent in the small town of Ust-Dzhegut (Karachay-Cherkessia). In elementary school, little Dima entered a music school, where he learned to play the accordion.
At the beginning of the 2000s, Bilan entered the State Music College named after. Gnesins. From 2003 to 2005 he received his education at GITIS.
In the fall of 2003, Dmitry’s first music album, “I am a Night Hooligan,” was released.
In addition to his singing career, Bilan also acts in films. In 2016, Dmitry played the main role in the film “Hero” (directed by Yuri Vasiliev). The singer was lucky enough to work on the same set with such wonderful actors as Alexander Baluev, Marat Basharov, Vladislav Vetrov, Viktor Nemets and others.
Dima Bilan's sister: “My brother treats me harshly”
Anna Belan decided to follow in her brother's footsteps and took up music. However, the star relative is not going to help her build a creative career. Moreover, Dima often criticizes her sister’s performances.
38-year-old Dima Bilan has taken care of his younger sister since her birth. The singer became the girl's godfather and took responsibility for guardianship of Anna. When a relative was nine years old, he moved her to Moscow, and then paid for the girl’s education in America. After that, she returned to the capital and began to look for her own path in the world of show business.
Now Anya writes songs and performs under the pseudonym OTANA. Sometimes she sings on the same stage with her star brother. Although, Bilan is sure, family ties in work do not lead to anything good. The performer wants his sister to achieve everything on her own, but is always ready to give her practical advice. According to the girl, a relative is periodically dissatisfied with her work and may not say this in the most gentle way.

“He treats me harshly. After one concert I didn’t say anything good, it just wasn’t right. That is, he prepares me with his actions, and I am grateful to him for this,” admits Anna.
However, such conversations do not at all spoil the relationship between brother and sister who are passionate about creativity. The girl notes that Dima is a real authority for her and she highly values his opinion. Relatives manage to communicate without conflicts and gossip. “We have a fairly large age difference - 14 years, so we had nothing to share. We didn't have any quarrels. He made a great contribution to my upbringing, without imposing his opinion. What I am now is largely due to his merit,” Anna shared with StarHit.

By the way, the aspiring artist does not see her brother very often. The musician spends a lot of time on tour, but never stops communicating with his family by phone. “Dima is almost never in Moscow, he is very busy. But we are always in touch, so it doesn’t feel like we haven’t seen each other for a long time,” said the singer’s sister.
Let us remember that Bilan comes from a small town in the south of the country. Since childhood, he loved to sing and constantly participated in local amateur performances. But he became a truly famous artist after he began collaborating with producer Yuri Aizenshpis. The performer hopes that his sister will also meet a professional who will appreciate her gift. Bilan himself does not plan to produce a relative and is not going to ask his acquaintances in this field to do so.
