Pelageya is an infrequent guest on television. Therefore, her appearance on the “Voice” project stirred up a wave of interest in her person. Of course, one of the questions that excited many: “Who did Pelageya marry?” But, despite the fact that the singer gives the impression of a very open person, information about her personal life remains inaccessible. Rare articles in newspapers and infrequent interviews on programs only added fuel to the fire. Soon the pages of magazines were full of headlines: “Pelageya married a hockey player.” This fact surprised many, because no one knew about the singer’s new relationship. Soon everything secret became clear. It turned out that Pelageya married hockey player Ivan Telegin.
Pelageya's childhood
Pelageya's talent manifested itself when she was very young. Her mother Svetlana drew attention to her daughter’s musicality. When she sang songs to her, Pelageya could easily repeat a short passage without mistakes. Mom made a fateful decision - to develop her daughter’s talent as a singer. But at the same time, the girl’s overall development did not fade into the background. By the age of three, the young talent could read. Her first book was a satirical novel about two giants, Gargantua and Pantagruel. Pelageya’s extraordinary abilities have always attracted attention. In kindergarten, almost no performance was complete without the participation of the young singer. Since then, Pelageya’s heart has been attached to the stage.
Pelageya is the owner of not only a rare talent, but also a rare name. Many people think that this is a pseudonym. No, the singer inherited the name from her grandmother. An interesting story happened to him. When the parents submitted documents for the issuance of a birth certificate, the registry office decided that the name Pelageya was not suitable for a Soviet child, and wrote in the full name column: Polina Sergeevna Khanova. This injustice was corrected when Pelageya received her passport.
A touching photo from Pelageya’s wedding delighted fans

Singer Pelageya does not often please fans with details from her personal life. The artist prefers not to post photos on social networks, and also not to comment on rumors related to her relationship. That is why it is almost impossible to find photos from the star’s wedding with hockey player Ivan Telegin on the Internet.
The other day, the lovers celebrated their second anniversary of marriage, and Pelageya’s friend Ekaterina decided to congratulate them on this important event. The young woman posted a touching photo from the wedding on Instagram.
“My kids, congratulations on your wedding anniversary! I can't help but post this photo! Because you are so beautiful, happy, loving each other, my little ones. Let your love only grow stronger every year, so that there is no end to tenderness, passion, respect and harmony. Always remain young, reckless and in love, always look in the same direction,” wrote Pelageya’s friend.

The photo of the happy couple caused a furor on the Internet. Fans immediately began to compliment Pelageya, noting that she was literally glowing with happiness next to her husband. “What a beauty Polina is! There are simply no words,” “I join in the congratulations. Live happily ever after”, “I love this couple. Polina is so tender and fragile, and Ivan is a real protector,” fans of the stars shared their impressions.
It is worth saying that the last few months have not been the easiest for the couple. The fact is that at the end of February, a certain Karina posted photos and videos on Instagram in which she touchingly hugs a hockey player. As a result, fans began to discuss Telegin’s alleged betrayal.
Pelageya herself hastened to note that their relationship is going just fine, and she has no reason to worry. Recently, the lovers went on vacation together, finally dispelling rumors of family conflicts.
Previously, the artist noted that she was happy next to her husband and had nothing to be ashamed of.
“A clear conscience, as they say, is the best pillow. So that you understand, dear friends, my conscience is clear, and I sleep well. And everything else that they say, you shouldn’t believe it. I wouldn’t be able to live in peace if what they write was true, if I took someone away... This is just another period in my life that made me stronger,” said the singer.

Fans hope that the lovers have really overcome the crisis in their relationship and will now be able to fully enjoy their feelings.
School years
Before school, Pelageya’s musical education was provided by her mother, a former talented jazz singer. At the age of eight, the young talent was enrolled in a specialized educational institution at the conservatory. The girl’s talent so impressed the admissions committee that Pelageya was accepted into a music school without exams. Already at the age of 9 she performed on the stage of the Philharmonic, where she was noticed by the popular rock musician and poet Sergei Revyakin. The power, depth of his voice, and unique style of performance amazed the rocker. He sends a cassette recording of Pelageya’s performance to the then popular performing arts competition “Calling”. Yuri Nikolaev did not remain indifferent to the Siberian nugget.
An unprecedented decision was made to enroll Pelageya to participate in the winners' stage. Thanks to her talent, the girl won the competition and was awarded the title “Best folk song performer in Russia in 1996.” This was her finest hour. After the talent appeared on the stage of the competition, people started talking about Pelageya all over Russia. Soon she began to be invited to major events, including at the state level. She spoke to leaders of many countries around the world. And each of them was amazed by the talent of the Siberian woman. Folk songs and romances performed by the young star did not leave Boris Yeltsin, Jacques Chirac, and Patriarch of All Rus' Alexy II indifferent.
At the age of 11, Pelageya becomes the youngest member of the teams of the Club of Cheerful and Resourceful. She played for the national team of her home city of Novosibirsk. She amazed the audience not only with her voice, but also with her sparkling jokes.
student life
Already at the age of 14, the child prodigy Pelageya was enrolled in the Russian Institute of Theater Arts. Despite the fact that mother and Pelageya lived and worked in Moscow for a long time, they were unable to acquire their own housing. Then, in 2001, cultural figures signed a petition asking the Moscow government to provide housing for the singer. After this, Pelageya officially became a Muscovite. Around the same time, the girl was actively working on recording albums. She gathered like-minded people around her, who united in the Pelageya group. Together they experimented with sound, arrangements, and repertoire. In 2003, the ensemble’s debut album, “Pelageya,” was released. The presentation was prepared in the then iconic club “B-2”. To ensure that there was no empty space in the hall, the musicians themselves printed and posted posters. Despite their first steps in the world of music, the group was already famous, and many admirers of their talent gathered at the concert. In the same year, the fashionable music magazine "FUSE" named the group "Pelageya" the discovery of the year.
In 2005, Pelageya graduated from the institute with an excellent student diploma.
Pelageya: “I didn’t take anyone away from the family”

The famous singer and mentor of the show “The Voice” Pelageya keeps her personal life secret from the public. At the very first question on this topic, the vocalist turns from a cheerful laugh into a stern, closed person.
But sometimes she still makes an exception. This Saturday, October 21, the documentary film “Pelageya. Happiness loves silence,” in which the singer and her husband, hockey player Ivan Telegin, openly talked about the beginning of their romance and the family they created on June 16, 2020. Fans became aware of Pelageya’s relationship with the athlete last spring. At the same time, the singer began to be accused of destroying Telegin’s family, and that for the sake of an affair with the artist, the hockey player left his beloved with a baby. Pelageya stole her lover from the family
In the film, the performer responded to the accusations against her, making it clear that they were all groundless: by the time he met Pelageya, Ivan Telegin had already broken up with his lover.
“A clear conscience, as they say, is the best pillow. So that you understand, dear friends, my conscience is clear, and I sleep well. And everything else that they say, you shouldn’t believe it. I wouldn’t be able to live in peace if what they write were true, if I took someone away... This is just another period in my life that made me stronger,” Pelageya comments in the film about the beginning of her romance with Ivan Telegin.

The singer and the hockey player got married on June 16, 2020 at the Kutuzovsky registry office in Moscow, without saying a word about it to the press, without giving a single interview.
“An artist’s personal life is his personal life. There is enough information that my status has changed, I got married and will have a different last name, which, it seems to me, suits my name very well. And to talk about how much I love this person... I’d better tell him this,” Pelageya voiced her position.

The singer's husband agrees with her. “You need to keep your family and your loved ones on the other side from prying eyes. What happens in the family should remain in it, and no one should know about it,” says Ivan Telegin in the film.

Few people know, but marriage to a hockey player was the second in the singer’s life. In the film “Pelageya. Happiness loves silence,” they said that the vocalist met her first husband at the age of 10, when she performed with the Novosibirsk KVN team. Team member Dmitry Efimovich then jokingly promised that he would take Pelageya as his wife when she grew up. And so it happened. The couple got married in 2010. The wedding took place in Moscow. By this time, she was already a recognized star, he was the director of a comedy show. But family life did not work out; two years later Pelageya and Dmitry broke up.

“She can afford not to talk about it. And that's great. The fact that she doesn’t have womanizing conversations with anyone about her personal life once again reminds us that she is an intelligent person,” says her colleague on the “Voice” project, Leonid Agutin, about Pelageya.

Now Pelageya feels like a happy woman. She is in demand in her profession and loved by her family. The singer considers her home in the Moscow region to be a place of power. “Here is the super-powerful energy of my mother, my family in general, because my mother is my family, my grandparents, and my husband. That’s why it’s calm here, because when I come here, the first thing I do is fall asleep,” says Pelageya.

Adulthood
After graduating from university, Pelageya threw herself into work. Together with their team, they were looking for their niche among many musical genres. Art-folk is how they defined their style. Pelageya participated in many festivals, including international ones. She performs in London at Trafalgar Square. Becomes the main performer at the large-scale rock festival “Invasion”. Covers of songs performed by the talented singer occupy the top places on the charts. Pelageya also actively tours. Every city where musicians come is sold out. Pelageya is very loved and appreciated by her fans. In 2008 she acted as a jury member at the international Eurovision Song Contest.
A television
Pelageya has been familiar with television since childhood. For example, at the age of 11, the young talent became a guest of the popular “Anthropology” program, hosted by Dmitry Dibrov. Pelageya was invited to take part in various shows, but the selective singer always carefully chose projects. When Sergei Bezrukov invited her to film a cameo role in the film “Yesenin,” Pelageya agreed. According to Sergei, when he was selecting actors, he immediately wanted to give the role of a simple Russian beauty to Pelageya. The talented singer coped with the task perfectly.
In 2009, Pelageya was invited to take part in the Channel One show “Two Stars”, where she was supposed to perform in a duet with Daria Moroz. It was agreed with the producers of the show that the singer would appear in only a few episodes. But the TV viewer was so enamored with the songs performed by the artists that their tandem with Daria became the leader of the voting. Unfortunately, due to health reasons, Pelageya was unable to continue participating.
Another Channel One project that Pelageya was lucky enough to get into is “The Voice”. She was the mentor of the television project from 2012 to 2014. Compared to her courageous colleagues, Pelageya stood out with her emotionality and openness. Her intelligence, tact, and professionalism captivated everyone, from project participants to television viewers. In 2014, the singer repeated her mentoring experience, but this time on the children's Voice. For some time, Pelageya disappeared from television screens and from the pages of glossy magazines. During this period, she had much more important things to do. After all, Pelageya married hockey player Ivan and was preparing to become a mother.
Pelageya told how little Taisiya is growing up, and how the singer feels about hockey.
In January, Pelageya became a mother for the first time. The singer gave her husband, hockey player Ivan Telegin, a charming daughter, who was named Taisiya. The spouses dote on the child and try to devote all their free time to him. According to the artist, the girl is growing up very serious, so her parents are a little afraid of her.
Recently, Pelageya told reporters about the progress her daughter is making. According to the artist, Taisiya surprises her loved ones with her severity.
"She says 'mom' and 'dad'." She has eight teeth and four more are emerging. She is a very serious woman. We all have such awe of her. We really want to oblige and do something to make her raise the corner of her lips a little,” said the singer.
Pelageya manages to combine work and caring for the baby. “You know, I still need to watch hockey every other day,” added Pelageya. The secret of the artist's success is simple. “I don’t sleep much,” the star explained.
Pelageya and Ivan Telegin
According to the artist, in Russia hockey is given undeservedly little attention. Pelageya believes that the support of the general public can have a beneficial effect on the mood of the team.
“It seems to me that in Russia hockey players are underestimated by the people. If there is more support, that will definitely help them a lot too. And believe, believe in the team,” the celebrity said.
Earlier, in the Channel One documentary “Happiness Loves Silence,” the artist and her husband Ivan Telegin spoke openly about the beginning of their romance and the family they created in June 2016. Detractors accused Pelageya of ruining the marriage of a famous hockey player. Pelageya herself does not think so.
“A clear conscience, as they say, is the best pillow. So that you understand, dear friends, my conscience is clear, and I sleep well. And everything else that they say, you shouldn’t believe it. I wouldn’t be able to live in peace if what they write was true, if I took someone away... This is just another period in my life that made me stronger,” said the celebrity.
Pelageya and Ivan Telegin
Pelageya considers herself a lazy mother. In the spring, the artist said that she walks a lot in the forest with Taisiya, but does it through force. “I know that other mothers simply put their cradles with their children on the balcony, but I don’t have a balcony,” the star explained. Pelageya does not hide the fact that she adores her daughter. In a recent interview with Elle magazine, the celebrity admitted that she considers Taisia her main success.

The beginning of Ivan's career
Now let's tell the story of Ivan, because I want to know who Pelageya married. A talented hockey player originally from the city of Novokuznetsk. His dad, an avid fan of this sport, dreamed of his son learning to play hockey. Therefore, he took Ivan to the section where the young athlete began to show his first successes. The hockey club “Metallurg”, where Telegin began his career, became the champion of Russia in 2009. At this time, Ivan is noticed by scout Mark Gandler, who invites the promising hockey player to go with him to Ontario to participate in the junior league. Due to the fact that Ivan had to terminate his contract with Metallurg prematurely, he paid the club a penalty.
Ivan spent three years in Canada playing for Ontario teams. During this time, his professional level grew. In 2010, Telegin signed a contract with the NHL team Atlanta Thrashers, and in 2011 with Winnipeg. Also in 2011, he became a member of the Russian junior hockey team. Having moved from the junior league to the adult league, Telegin began playing for the St. John's reserve team. But soon during the match, Ivan received a severe concussion. He failed to recover quickly from such an injury. Headaches tormented me for 8 months. Therefore, the club management decided to disqualify Ivan from the national team. There were no grievances or misunderstandings between Telegin and the club’s coaches; they parted peacefully.
"Strong morally and mentally"
When Pelageya was still a student, she often noted that she was unlikely to ever get married. Even then, the girl declared: “My main man is work, music, stage.” She also added that the morally and mentally strong man who would become her worthy companion had not yet been born in the world. But in 2010, she sharply changed her opinion about the representatives of the stronger sex around her. The singer admitted that she met the young man of her dreams. Soon her wedding to Dmitry Efimovich took place.
Interestingly, Pelageya first met the future director of “Comedy Woman” in early childhood. Then an 11-year-old girl was invited to participate in KVN. 22-year-old Dima also played on the same team. Of course, during the first meeting there could be no talk of any sympathy. Efimovich treated his future wife like a small child. But their second meeting many years later led to a wedding.
The couple lived together in Moscow for two years. Young people really did not like talking to journalists about their personal lives, so they simply answered questions from media representatives in monosyllables, saying that everything was fine in their relationship. The news of Pelageya and Dmitry’s divorce literally shocked their fans.
The singer categorically refused to name the reason for the separation from her husband. But acquaintances of the couple noted that this was primarily due to the director’s betrayal of his beloved. And Pelageya was also to blame for her husband’s behavior. The girl was completely immersed in work and did not agree to become a real wife, mother. Dmitry asked his wife for a child, but Pelageya answered every time that she had no time for that now. The singer practically did not appear at home. It is not surprising that such a relationship between the star couple quickly ended in separation. By the way, the girl herself was having a hard time with the divorce. She said in an interview: “There is no longer a prince next to me. Ran away. But there was a huge hole left in my soul.”
Return of Ivan to Russia
After the injury and exclusion from the St. John's team, Ivan decided to return to his homeland. Novokuznetsk Metallurg and Yaroslavl Lokomotiv were considered as the main clubs where Ivan wanted to join. But in the end, neither one nor the other showed interest in the player. Perhaps this was due to the teams' financial difficulties. Absolutely stunning news for Ivan was the invitation from CSKA to join the ranks of the team’s players. Telegin immediately agreed. After being disqualified from the hockey league, Telegin could not take part in games for a year. But the army team went for it and made the right decision. Having become the forward of the new team, Ivan amazed with his performance and talent as an athlete.
In 2020, Ivan became an official member of the Russian national hockey team at the World Championships. At the 2016 World Cup he proved himself to be an excellent striker. With his help, 2 goals were scored, Ivan himself stood out, scoring 4 goals against the opponents.
Is Pelageya getting married?
Having successfully performed at the World Hockey Championship, the singer’s fiance Ivan Telegin is determined.

“Pelageya is a very nice girl,” says a friend of one of our hockey players, who agreed to tell TV Program magazine about the unexpected romance. “We didn’t really communicate with Zhenya, Vanya’s former friend, but with Pelageya everything is different.
— How serious is Telegin’s relationship with his new girlfriend?
“He must talk about it himself.” This is their personal life. But you understand that a diamond engagement ring is not just given as a gift...
In April, a diamond ring appeared on the ring finger of the singer's right hand. Photo: instagram.com
- Ivan is accused of leaving an ordinary girl for an affair with a celebrity...
“I think Vanya just fell in love for real.” This most likely did not happen in previous relationships.
There is a lot of talk around the hockey player that the wedding is just around the corner. They say that Ivan Telegin intended to take his beloved to the registry office even before the world championship. And having successfully performed at the championship, the hockey player feels more confident next to his famous bride. After all, now he has become a celebrity. Perhaps one of the reasons for the national team striker’s sporting success is precisely his new relationship, in which he felt truly happy. Ivan himself, after winning the quarterfinals over the German team, reasoned as follows: “Do I think this is my best season? Yes. Everyone knows that before this I didn’t play for two seasons. It was hard to skate and find my game. But it passed, and now the most important thing is not to lose momentum and move on.”

Fans of the 29-year-old mentor of the show “The Voice. Children" consider the 24-year-old hockey player an ideal match. Everyone noted that the singer was glowing with happiness, began to look even better - she lost weight and got a new hairstyle. The singer did not even think of hiding her relationship with Telegin: together with Alexander Ovechkin’s fiancée Anastasia Shubskaya, she took part in recording video messages from hockey players’ friends to their boyfriends and fans. Pelageya wished the guys health and spoke very warmly about the new social circle in which she was well received: “The wives and girlfriends of hockey players are real Decembrists who help them, pray and are with them on the field.”
The singer seems to be enjoying her new life. Now she attends hockey matches and does not hide her emotions from others.

The happiness of the young people is overshadowed by rumors that for the sake of Pelageya, Telegin abandoned a certain Evgenia, the woman who bore him a son. They say that Ivan met her several years ago at a strip club, and they soon began to live together. The relationship was not officially registered. Alas, the hockey player’s feelings have faded away, but Evgenia still hopes that Ivan will return to her and her son. The woman said that, already pregnant, she met Pelageya at a mutual friend’s birthday party. But I didn’t notice that there was something connecting Ivan and the singer. This is probably how it was: according to the official version, Pelageya’s relationship with Telegin began after he broke up with the mother of his child.
Pelageya also has family experience: four years ago she divorced director Dmitry Efimovich. Whether the wedding of the hockey player and the singer will take place this summer, when both Ivan and Pelageya have their only long vacation of the year, will become known in the near future.
Ivan's personal life
Ivan is a very attractive young man, so he had no end to fans. He is credited with many fleeting novels. But this was before Pelageya married Ivan Telegin. Although the hockey player had a serious relationship in his life, which gave him a son, Mark. The yellow press and scandalous TV shows discussed the topic of Ivan’s separation from his former partner. But this did not in any way affect the relationship with Pelageya.
Pelageya married hockey player Ivan Telegin
They should serve in intelligence! Singer Pelageya and hockey player Ivan Telegin secretly got married. On June 16, the folk singer married her lover, whom she had been dating for several months. The marriage registration was treated with such a degree of secrecy that the wedding became known after the fact.
The couple signed at the Kutuzovsky registry office and celebrated in one of the restaurants on Rublyovka. The lovers gathered only those closest to them - their parents, closest friends, as well as several of Telegin’s hockey teammates came to congratulate the newlyweds. According to eyewitnesses, the bride looked amazing in an off-the-shoulder Galia Lahav wedding dress.
It should be noted that a year ago Pelageya lost a lot of weight, so at the wedding ceremony she looked like a charming and gentle bride.
At the celebration of the significant event, Pelageya had a lot of fun, danced with her groom and performed several of her songs. Where would we be without this?!
It is curious that exactly a week ago Pelageya posted a video from the wedding ceremony on her social network page, although there were other bride and groom in the frame. Apparently, in this way, the star hinted at changes in her life.
By the way, immediately after the celebration, the newlyweds went on their honeymoon to Greece, where Alexander Ovechkin is now vacationing with his bride, Anastasia Shubskaya.
Fans of the star couple believe that the mystery surrounding the marriage is quite understandable. After all, after the start of the novel, the lovers immediately found themselves at the center of a scandal. It turned out that for the sake of the blond artist and member of the “Voice” jury, the hockey player left his wife, former dancer Evgenia Nour, and their newborn child, son Mark. By the way, the latter recently told reporters that the money that the athlete allocates to support his former family is not enough for them. Besides, he doesn’t want to know anything about the child at all. And my son is bored.
Marriage to Ivan Telegin became Pelageya’s second. From 2010 to 2012, she was married to Comedy Woman director Dmitry Efimovich. In all her interviews, the singer from Novosibirsk always tried to avoid issues of her personal life, so the press knows nothing about her first marriage, as well as about the reasons for the divorce.

Then all the doubts among the curious were dispelled: it became clear who Pelageya married. According to Ivan, they met Pelageya through their mutual friend. At the time of their meeting, Telegin did not even know who Pelageya was. He was captivated by the openness, radiance, and fragility of the beautiful singer.
