Biography
Natalya Gorchakova is known as a talented model, blogger, and DJ.
She holds the title of Top Miss Russia 2020. Recently, she has been known as the woman who continued the musical dynasty of the Piekha family. The socialite managed to achieve a lot that ordinary girls never dream of.
The girl is originally from Leningrad, where she was born on January 26, 1987. Her education took place in a regular school. She was outgoing, friendly and always attracted the boys' attention. The next stage of her education was admission to the St. Petersburg Institute of Culture and Art.
After graduating from university, the girl had no problems with work. She immediately found an interesting job. For a certain period, Natalya was known as a DJ, and then she moved on to the modeling podium. The beautiful girl liked this work, and besides, she was popular with representatives of elite modeling agencies.
Everyone, without exception, saw that the girl was guaranteed fame and a career in the modeling business. At that time, she had already taken part in three All-Russian beauty contests.
Despite Natalia's popularity as a model, she became more famous after her affair with Stas Piekha, a famous Russian singer.
Stas Piekha's ex-wife Natalya Gorchakova
Stas Piekh's ex-wife, Natalya Gorchakova, is known as a model, actress, DJ, and blogger. The young people met at one of the parties in 2010, and they began to talk about a serious relationship between them already in 2013, when Natasha and Stas appeared together at the Vitebsk Slavic Bazaar.
Piekha and Gorchakova got married in 2014 in hot Barcelona, and they most likely did it not out of great love, but so that their baby would have both a dad and a mom.
It is worth noting that the wedding was modest, and only close people gathered at the table, and marriage was considered illegal in Russia. That is why it came as no surprise to anyone that a year later Piekha simply left the family, although he continues to raise his son to this day.
He clarified that he did not want to torment Natasha, since he was not created for a family that interferes with creativity.
What does it take to become a successful showman? Attractive appearance, a beautiful voice, and a popular surname certainly doesn’t hurt, because being related to a celebrity, whatever it may be, provides good support for conquering the heights of pop art. But, in fact, the lack of talent and interest of the viewer in what the artist does, no matter whose relative he is, can cancel out all the attempts of star parents to promote their child by pushing him onto the stage. In the biography of Stas Piekha there were times when, either out of envy or for some other reason, he was attacked with accusations of lack of talent, lack of voice, and was criticized precisely because the artist decided to sing under the name of the famous grandmother Edita. But, as usual, time put everything in its place.
Meet Stas
The couple met in 2010; mutual friends invited them to a party.
They lived together as spouses for about four years, but were in no hurry to register the relationship. In 2014, Natalya gave birth to a wonderful boy from the singer, who was named Peter. Everyone learned that Piekha became a father after Natalya posted photos of them together with the child online.
The press immediately picked up the topic, and the news spread with tremendous speed. Familiar couples confirmed that Stas and Natalya became parents. Soon the girl and the child headed to Spain - where the singer rents housing near the sea coast.
Behind seven castles
A rumor that Stas was married appeared in the press in 2013. The media were actively discussing his whirlwind romance and the fact that he had legalized his relationship with a certain mysterious blonde, with whom they were allegedly caught by the paparazzi several times. However, the artist, as usual, left such information without comment. The singer’s mother confirmed the information, noting that her son has a girlfriend, Natalya.
The second time the young man, who, in his words, refused to participate in the show “The Bachelor” for ethical reasons, was married by popular rumor in 2014. Some fans were sure that the idol abandoned the popular project, where there were many girls, only because he was already a married “bachelor”.
Young family
The young people met at one of the star parties 8 years ago and have not parted since then.
A native of St. Petersburg captivated the young man with her beauty and modesty. Little Peter was born in Spain, where his parents’ wedding ceremony took place when the baby was already 7 months old. But the idyll did not last long; at the end of last 2020, information appeared in the media that Stas and Natalya Piekha decided to separate
. It is known that the little son of the Russian artist continues to live with his mother, and the singer chose creative growth between family and career, like his mother Ilona Bronevitskaya once did.
As Stas himself said in one of the few interviews, despite the fact that he will turn 38 this year, he is not mature enough to have a family. The official status of the artist’s family also remains interesting; the young people are still not divorced. When asked by journalists, they usually complain about the banal lack of time and reluctance to deal with paperwork.
But according to Russian law, a marriage like that of Piekha and Gorchakova is not considered legal. Painting in Spain does not officially bind young people in the Russian Federation.
So far, the artist’s official wife Natalya is actively involved in her career and devotes all her free time to her growing son Petya. The former model runs her own blog on the Internet with more than 3,000 subscribers. The girl is enjoying her vacation on various exotic islands and, as can be seen from the latest pictures on the Internet, is not worried about anything.
It is known that some time ago the wife and son of Stas Piekha lived in Catalonia. The artist does everything so that his loved ones live with dignity and do not need anything. And recently Natalya and her baby moved to Moscow, closer to the father of the small family.
The singer once even said that he and Natalya live in the same house, but in different entrances and are still on good terms. Also, the young father Stas Piekha, family, wife, whose children are one of the topics discussed in Russian show business, has repeatedly stated that even after separating from his wife, he takes an active part in raising little Peter.
To be continued
Vigilant fans, however, have noticed that recently photographs have increasingly appeared on the Internet where Stas Piekha, his wife and son are walking together in various places. Natalya constantly keeps her subscribers updated on her personal life. Adding up the failed divorce and the latest photos of the young family, where they are together and happy, as they say, “off camera,” fans of the couple are sure that the young people do not want to separate just yet.
No one knows how many affairs Edita Piekha’s grandson actually had and where the truth is. At different times, Stas was credited with relationships with many famous girls. At the end of last year, the artist was even suspected of being gay.
The artist himself recently said that he is trying to meet people on the Internet, but this is only for “one night or a short short story,” and for a serious relationship he prefers “the old-fashioned way of communicating on the street.” And the most interesting thing is that there are changes in his personal life again
, since Stas Piekha recently reported that “there are some hints” on the personal front.
Natalya, in turn, was credited with a relationship with Russian actor and singer Alexei Vorobyov, who is a year younger than her. The affair with him was also not confirmed in official sources. Who knows, perhaps Stas and Natalya, while talking about their romances, are simply taking the public’s attention away from their family life.
Family and marriage
While in Spain, in September 2014, the young people registered their marriage. The wedding was not noisy, everything was modest, no guests were invited, they limited themselves only to a circle of close people. It should be noted that since the couple signed abroad, it was considered invalid in Russia.
According to news from the media, two years after the birth of the child, the couple broke up. Such information is contradictory.
Edita Piekha, who is Stas’s grandmother, spoke very highly of the girl her grandson chose. Natalya seemed sweet and modest to her. Unfortunately, the grandmother was not present at the wedding, and she did not see her great-grandson.
The public immediately responded negatively to Stas Piekha, accusing him of abandoning his wife and small child. Everyone was annoyed by this news, because literally everyone was happy for the young family.
Later, during an interview, the singer stated that despite his faded feelings for the girl, he loves his son very much. He provides financially not only for Peter, but also for his mother and grandmother.
The singer admitted that he and his wife separated due to the impossibility of combining career and family. At one time, the press spread rumors about a romance between Natalya and Alexei Vorobyov, but no evidence was provided for this.
With Stas Piekha everything is different
On March 18, the presentation of Stas Piekha’s third album “Otherwise” took place at Kristall. There were a lot of guests, but nevertheless, they honored, albeit the youngest, but a representative of an entire musical dynasty.
Singer Slava was one of the first to arrive with a bouquet of cream roses:
I really liked these flowers, I hope Stas will like them too. In general, he is a great singer. For me, an indicator of a performer’s talent is my mother. If she watches a singer’s concert, then yes, he is a star. If not, then it's not worth watching.
In the dressing room, Natasha Podolskaya touched up Yulia Mikhalchik’s makeup, and at the same time recommended how to look better on stage. The original costume chosen by Yulia was almost flawless - a formal dress in the front and a bare back. Hearing Stas's songs, Mikhalchik could not resist and began to dance. Then she even sang with Stas the song “About You,” which Piekha wrote himself. So that no one would think anything, Stas said:
I dedicated this song to my girlfriend, and while singing it I will think about her. And Yulia is probably talking about her boyfriend.
Arriving Roman Arkhipov and Arseny Borodin from the Chelsea group could not get to their table for a long time; they were detained either by TV people or just friends.
Arseny’s jacket raised a lot of questions:
This is latex, because it is in fashion now. This is terribly sexy!
Roma was surprised not by the jacket, but by the abundance of rings of all kinds and sizes:
If something happens, you can defend yourself. Some of them are incredibly heavy, with stones. And some are light because they are hollow inside.
Victor Drobysh arrived in a good mood. But then, apparently, someone spoiled his mood, and he flew out of the hall like an arrow. He did not appear soon, only after Stas asked to find him:
Victor Drobysh is two in one for me - both a composer and a producer, simply Head&Shoulders!
Ilya Zudin, lead singer of the Dynamite group, tried to hide cigarettes from the camera lenses:
Editors of publications don’t like it when a star appears with a cigarette, so they have to hide it!
Stas’s mother, Ilona Bronevitskaya, stood apart from the fun-loving youth. Grandmother, Edita Stanislavovna, could not come, the event started too late. But the youngest Piekha took the rap for everyone - both for the present mother and for the absent grandmother - and danced, shook his tambourine, and performed with the folk ensemble “Necklace”. But the main thing that could be noted that evening was that Piekha, without a soundtrack or backing vocals, covered his playing musicians with the power of his voice. Impressed.

Natalia's life after divorce
There was no official registration of the couple's divorce. The singer says that constant employment is to blame. In addition, he wants to provide support to his son in an amount that would be determined by himself, and not by the court, based on the wishes of the child’s mother and his own conscience.
He purchased a private house in the Moscow region under the terms of a mortgage, so that in the future it would go to Peter. The singer regrets that he is unable to see his little son more often. He is mostly located in the capital, while Natalya and her son live in St. Petersburg.
Despite family omissions and the separation of the family, with a certain periodicity Natalya posts photos online of all three of them.
This photo, for example, was posted in 2020 on Children’s Day. It showed a complete family idyll - the boy was sitting in his dad’s arms, and Natalya was standing next to him.
While the father of the family is busy with financial issues and his career, his ex-wife is not wasting time. In the fall, she posted a series of photos on Instagram of how she was vacationing in Bali, attaching a very bold hashtag. The latter includes obscene language - Natalia’s explanation of how good her vacation was in a paradise.
It is clear that the hashtag was immediately picked up by the public. The result was repeated ridicule and bullying, but more subscribers.
The girl's appearance has changed enormously. In addition to bleached hair, my skin became surprisingly golden from tanning. Subscribers compare Natalia's appearance with Barbie.
Stas Piekha: I was used as a secret weapon
The photo shoot of the singer and his three-year-old son Peter took place in St. Petersburg, where the artist’s ex-wife now lives. Stas openly told TN about the difficulties of fatherhood, his hooligan childhood, late adulthood and masculine principles in relationships with girls. But first, I remembered with a laugh how everyone had to dance to Petya’s tune.
— How was the photo shoot for TN, did Petya enjoy being photographed?
— It wasn’t easy. Peter was constantly building something out of everything that was in the photo studio. All this was methodically turned into a huge pile, which was called, say, an airplane. Then the plane became a steamship and so on. The result was a photo shoot in the design vision of Peter Stanislavovich. This is such a headstrong guy - he always gets his way. He probably took after me - as a child I was also freedom-loving and didn’t listen to anyone. True, he was calmer.
— What does Petya like to do at three years old?
— The main part of Petya’s toys are construction sets, he constantly assembles something from them. Unfortunately, I cannot say that I know everything in detail about my son - we do not communicate as often as we would like. He now lives with his mother and grandmother in St. Petersburg, and I live in Moscow. Periodically they come, then we part again. It took us a long time to find a kindergarten for Peter - it’s difficult for him because of his hyperactivity. But the correct alternation of classes, routine and attention give good results - Petya goes there with pleasure, not like the Moscow kindergarten, where he was constantly sick. As Natasha told me (Stas Piekha’s ex-wife, model Natalya Gorchakova - TN note), due to Petya’s hyper-mobility, he was constantly delayed on walks and caught a cold. And, accordingly, he spent most of his time at home.
— A couple of months ago you posted a touching photo on Instagram of you and your son appearing on stage together.
Petya is in tears. Was he scared? - Yes, it was our first and therefore not very successful exit. I won’t say that he was scared, he just didn’t want to do what he hated. By the time the concert ended, he was very tired, he was running around and did not want to do anything that was offered to him. Behind the stage, his sister Vasilisa (daughter of Stas’ sister Erika. - TN note) was waiting for him, and they, as if nothing had happened, ran away to go about their children’s business.
— Did the stage attract you as a child, or did you also resist at first?
“I didn’t understand what could be interesting about standing in bright light in front of some pit and a bunch of people in the distance. And what can you do in such an alarming atmosphere? I was simply used as some kind of secret weapon - my grandmother’s grandson, whom everyone was touched by. My grandmother had a song “The Man I Love,” and during its performance everyone was waiting for the prince to come out. And at the end a boy came out in short pants, and everyone smiled. It was a rehearsed number that I didn’t resist.
In every city they told me the name of a local singer, and I said that this is my favorite performer. In Moldova, he admitted that I love the songs of Ion Suruceanu, and somewhere he could name Stevie Wonder. In general, they were making fun of me. I won’t say that I liked it all, but I behaved decently on stage. But then he could behave like a hooligan - he climbed onto scaffolding, threw bricks from the roof...
I remember the stagehands were playing dominoes, and I was stealing one of their bones so they couldn’t finish the game. There was no one to leave me with then, so for several years I went on tour with my grandmother. The most pleasant thing was communicating with the musicians; there was a whole ensemble of them - trumpeters, guitarists, keyboardists, a large choir. The men always hung out with me, fed me, put me to bed, I was like the son of a regiment to them. My grandmother is very authoritarian, and I tried to keep my distance from her, despite our warm relationship. I saw her as a threat to my freedom.
— From the outside it seems that you are a brave, even desperate person, capable of reckless actions. With the birth of your son, did you manage to curb your temperament?
- It seems to you that I am absolutely not brave. And that’s why I did reckless things - to prove to others that I was capable of something. Brave people are quite calm, but I went to great lengths just to get out of my comfort zone and get some adrenaline. I was completely crazy and out of control at some point in my life - drinking, smoking, doing drugs, leaving home. You could say it was a miracle that he survived. He was saved by a collegial family council, as well as by doctors. Of those with whom I hung out in my youth, practically no one remained alive. That’s why I opened a drug treatment center - it’s important for me to realize myself there.
My journey of recovery goes back eighteen years, from the moment I began to transform from an animal into a human. I understand that due to my turbulent youth, my limit of luck has been exhausted, so I haven’t played with life for a long time. Today I have a child behind me, relatives and other people who depend on me, including financially.
The realization that you are a father comes gradually. Sometimes I forget about it, then I remember, and it becomes surprising, but the main thing is that it’s no longer scary. It was scary when Petya was just born and I took him in my arms. Something so small, helpless, fragile, I was afraid to stumble, to turn around somehow awkwardly.
I rushed from another city when Petya was already born. I remember there was a large room where women in labor were lying, and in the next room there were children. And the smallest one is mine, I recognized him immediately.
The news that I would become a father was not unexpected. I originally wanted a child. True, I always said out loud that I wanted a daughter. And I was very happy when Vasilisa’s niece was born. I just know that a daughter for a man is something especially reverent and tender. It’s difficult with boys, I judge by myself. But the son is the successor of the family, you can share men’s interests and hobbies with him, I have something to tell him.
— Outwardly, Peter is your copy, but in character, who does he take after?
- Of course, there are similarities, but he looks more like Natalya - in some childhood photographs they are just the same face. And he is different in character - more active than I was as a child. I could sit on the floor for hours, build something, play war games with myself. And he is constantly running around, a very active little guy. As my family says, I still succumbed to some kind of control. Peter is not there yet.
— What have three years of fatherhood taught you?
— To be good parents, you need emotional and spiritual maturity. Many of us give birth to children at the age of 20-25, while still internally immature people. It largely depends on what a person's childhood was like. My childhood, by and large, passed without my dad and mom. And I believe that emotionally I am far behind my biological age.
Now I understand that the main task of a father is to listen to his child, try to understand his interests and communicate as equals. The most important thing is how much time you devoted to him personally, and not just being nearby.
— What is the most important thing, in your opinion, in the educational process?
- So that words do not diverge from deeds. And second: the fewer words, the better. This is my understanding of male education. I myself never listened to what adults told me, but I looked at how they acted. If, for example, they smoked and drank, and they told me that it was bad, then, of course, I also smoked and drank. It seems to me that all advice and instructions to a child should be presented in the form of life experience. Because words that are not confirmed by action fly into one ear and out the other.
— What mistakes of your parents would you not want to repeat when raising Petya?
— As a child, I missed my parents’ love and warmth. In our family, we still don’t have a tradition of getting together at a big table. We rarely see each other, we mostly call each other. And, unfortunately, today I repeat the story of my parents - I see little of my son. I really want to believe that soon Natasha and Petya will move to Moscow again. In connection with the opening of the drug treatment clinic (“PS Clinic.” - TN note) last year there was a record amount of expenses - a large-scale reconstruction of the building was carried out, the best team of specialists was hired, and equipment was purchased. But I still managed to buy a house for Peter - I took out a mortgage - and now the house is awaiting renovation.
- How will you protect your son from all temptations?
- You need to protect yourself from tension. Children try to smoke out of curiosity, and some people don’t like it: “Well, ugh, that’s disgusting! I won't." And others say: “Oh, cool, relaxing!” These are children who, due to their hyperactivity, are constantly in tension, they are torn from the inside. And they are trying to somehow relieve this condition. When they try alcohol or a cigarette for the first time, they feel a release. So parents should not allow this tension. And if, alas, the ideal family model did not happen - when mom and dad are together and love each other - then it’s probably worth turning to psychologists. In my clinic, I would also like to see good specialists in this field, engaged in so-called children's gestalt therapy, which teaches the child to relax in a playful way.
— Who raised you and influenced your teenage reality?
- During not the most successful period, these were the St. Petersburg courts, where there were their own authorities - older guys. Some of them had already served time and were involved in all sorts of criminal cases. It seemed to me that I should look up to them, because they are respected and feared.
Then musical authorities and club life appeared. Well, today there are a lot of people around me - thanks to the fact that I am involved in drug rehabilitation and treatment. I myself often visit different institutions and communities and gain tremendous experience. And it happens that my teachers become seemingly completely random people who have embarked on the path of recovery.
If we talk about specific teachers, then in music I am very grateful to the teacher Vladimir Korobka. During the Star Factory, this man, as they say, “changed my shoes” and gave me freedom of choice in singing. But Viktor Drobysh instilled faith in me. Before meeting him, of course, I sang - somewhere in taverns, in a choir - but I was not sure that I wanted to devote my life to this. And Drobysh said: “You must sing. You have an interesting timbre, an unusual presentation, you feel intelligent. “You have everything to become a singer, you just need to believe in yourself.” He gave me a magic kick, but just give a man hope, and he will trample, turning away everything in his path. Of course, my thinking, musical taste, and outlook on life were largely shaped by my mother.
- What did your grandmother teach you?
- That there are certain unshakable things for all times - the aesthetics of our work and behavior on stage, the understanding that you must sincerely love your work and the audience and believe that you are the chosen one. What I can't do. My grandmother had and still has faith in her own chosenness. I don’t have this faith, but I took everything else from her: love for the audience and the profession. But Edita didn’t teach me how to whistle with her “signature” whistle. Grandma whistles very loudly, with two fingers. I can do a lot of strange things in life, but I can’t whistle as loudly as she does.
Natalya Gorchakova now
Now Gorchakova devotes almost all her attention to her son. At the same time, she maintains an Instagram blog, which is constantly updated with new interesting photos.
Here she also posts pictures of her family, which fans are incredibly happy about, because in this way they can follow the changes in the girl’s life.
Recently, Natalya began to conduct experiments, changing her appearance. The change in image is sometimes simply dramatic, as can be judged by the photos posted. To maintain an ideal figure, the girl goes to fitness.
Fans of the famous model are in anticipation of the announcement of the girl's new chosen one. However, now she is either alone in the photo, or together with her little son Peter.
