Who was the first person in the press to report their romantic relationship?
Vladimir Dantes and Nadya Dorofeeva decided to admit to the public that they are a couple through an interview with VIVA magazine. The meeting was scheduled in the center of Kyiv in an elite cafe.
Nadezhda appeared first in a snow-white shirt, short shorts and heels. She showed with all her appearance that she was happy and glad to see the end of the “guerrilla” game called “Dantes and Dorofeeva are not a couple.”
Vladimir came in next. He quickly approached the lead singer of the group “Time and Glass” and kissed her on the lips. Already at the table, the singer admitted that in recent months it had been increasingly difficult to hide the fact of his relationship with Nadezhda.
The couple was very worried about how Dorofeeva’s producer, Potap, would react to such a statement. Although the singer says that the contract does not contain a clause regarding marriage, the fear of an unknown reaction from her superiors remained.
How did the couple meet?
Dantes said that they had a close acquaintance on the train. Then many Ukrainian artists traveled in the same carriage to the filming of “The Golden Gramophone”. Vladimir had been closely acquainted with Positive, a member of the “Time and Glass” group, for a long time and went into his compartment to while away the time chatting. Dorofeeva was also traveling there.
At first glance, the singer realized that Nadya was his destiny. Without hesitation, the singer, leaving, told the girl that she would become his wife. The singer was shocked by this statement, because she had been dating a young man for 4 years at that time. However, the couple exchanged contacts.
Positive then admitted to Vladimir that Nadezhda’s relationship with her loved one was heating up and literally hanging by a thread. Such a statement gave the singer determination and self-confidence. He realized that he would seek reciprocity.
What happened next?
Upon arrival, a concert was given, and the artists then celebrated this event at a party. The guys were checked into a hotel in Orlovka, and the girls were taken to a hotel in Simferopol. In the morning, Dorofeeva woke up with a mad desire for Dantes to call her.
After some time, an SMS came from him. In it, the young man wrote that he spent the whole evening watching a movie and missed her madly. After this, a member of the “Time and Glass” group realized that she really liked the guy and wanted to develop a relationship with him.
On the same day, the girl called her boyfriend and reported the breakup. At that time, Nadya was not sure about continuing her relationship with the singer, but she definitely decided to start her personal life from scratch.
When did you start living together?
The couple admitted that they began to live under the same roof a week after they met. Vladimir believes that young people should check their feelings in everyday life and did not delay this. Long dates and the “candy-bouquet” period were not considered by him.
At first, Vladimir Dantes and Nadya Dorofeeva lived in the girl’s apartment, but then the singer convinced her to move in with him, because his area was much calmer and quieter. The young man also believes that a woman should come to a man’s house.
The guy had to very quickly meet the singer’s mother. She found him in her daughter’s apartment on one of her visits. They quickly found a common language with each other, and the future mother-in-law approved of Nadya’s choice. While peeling potatoes while preparing dinner, they managed to understand each other and discuss the seriousness of the relationship between the young people.
Nadya Dorofeeva: “My maternal instinct has awakened”
And how was it, Nadya? You didn't know each other at all. Was just a few days of communication enough to make such a decision?
I think it's good that we jumped into the pool without having time to think. Perhaps, if they had not lived together, they would have lost each other due to petty quarrels, emotionality and stubbornness. We had crazy love, with jealousy, like in an Italian family, with scandals and breaking dishes... I was jealous of Vova’s previous girls. Now I understand that it was stupid, because the past does not matter.
In addition to our internal squabbles, there were also additional difficulties associated with my work. The producers of “Time and Glass” initially asked Vova and me to hide our relationship. Partly because there was still a scenario “there is something between the lead singers of the project.” Partly, probably, because Potap didn’t really like Vova, a womanizer who breaks hearts. Potap warned me like a father that this could end badly for me. I wanted us to test our feelings with time before the relationship became public. Smart production move. But two years later, the paparazzi began taking pictures of us together, and there was no point in hiding anymore.
In the four years that we were together before the wedding, Vova proposed to me three times. The first time - “toy”, putting a ring made of champagne wire on my finger. The second time the ring was real - Vova gave me a surprise outside the city, where we went to a barbecue with friends. It was as if I was participating in a flash mob, I had to find something in the “reflection of myself,” and in the end it turned out that he hid the box with the ring in the mirror cabinet, in the toilet - it was the only mirror in the room. I spent two hours on the phone, bragging to my girlfriends that Vova proposed to me.
We wanted to get married, but then there was no money for a beautiful wedding. And when they appeared, Vova proposed again, according to all romantic canons, and again live. He then worked as a presenter on the morning show “Lux FM”. On my mother’s birthday, March 16, he arranged for me to call the radio and convey my congratulations to her. At this time, according to his cunning plan, my girlfriends were allegedly taking me to a fitting with a designer. When I finished speaking, Vova said that he also had something important. And he asked: “Will you marry me?” Of course, I shouted: “Yes!”
Vova said goodbye to me on the air, said that he would see me in the evening, and at that time he rushed to the place where they were taking me and met me with flowers and the Tiffany ring that I had dreamed of (this is an original jewelry in the form of a strap). And suddenly cameramen ran out with cameras. I've watched this video many times, it really touches me...
We prepared for the wedding for six months. We signed three days before the celebration and felt happy from the process itself. Even just signing was a thrill. Vova earned money for the celebration thanks to his participation in television projects. My husband generally spoils me: all the money I earn is mine, all the money he earns is ours. (Laughs.)
Wedding of Vladimir Dantes and Nadya Dorofeeva, 2020
We had a lavender wedding. I once saw a beautiful photo on the Internet - a delicate sprig of lavender in a cup - and wanted to make a wedding in that style. I called my mother in Simferopol, knowing that she would fulfill any request. And my parents found fields where they grow lavender, collected four bags for me - one with their own hands, and three they bought. Flowers were sent to Kyiv by buses and by smuggling.
At the same time, they were sewing a dress for me in Kyiv, and at every fitting I had to have it sewn up: I was losing weight all the time from worry. None of my dads, unfortunately, could come to the wedding, and Potap became my imprisoned father, it was he who led me to the altar.
In the end, the wedding turned out to be beautiful and touching. I sang a song written for Vova. Positive even brought me to tears, because we wrote it together, in the intervals between concerts, at night, on the road.
We invited journalists. It gave me pleasure to talk about how happy I was with my beloved, I liked that we were not hiding anything. There were seventy guests, mostly they gave us money, and this amount was just enough to go on a honeymoon to Barcelona.
Has anything changed in your relationship since the wedding? Sometimes it happens that a formal marriage, when people have lived together for more than one year, seems to dampen the partners.
On the contrary, we have become even closer. We have the same life goals, we do everything together. I completely stopped being jealous. Vova is even a little worried about this. When he started filming a travel show about food and began traveling a lot to different countries with the film crew, at first I was worried that long separations could ruin the relationship, or maybe I was just jealous of his work and travel...
One day he suggested we go together. It was the right decision. Having been on the set, seeing the whole process with my own eyes, realizing what a huge amount of work it was, I completely stopped worrying. And now we both constantly tell each other everything about our projects. I trust him completely. Vova, for example, often offered me tracks for “Dancing with Stars”.
Recently my husband was invited to the casting of a film, he read the script and told me: “I’m warning you, there’s a sex scene.” And I told him: “Yes please!” I guess we've just grown up.
Vova was not at all jealous of my partner in “Dancing with Stars” Zhenya Kot , although at the beginning of the project even I was a little awkward. I immediately liked Zhenya - cultured, friendly, well-mannered, good looking. An experienced choreographer, winner of popular television projects, worked for many years on one of the leading television channels, choreographing dances for participants in various talent shows. Overall, a cool partner.
With partner in the project of the TV channel “1 + 1” “Dancing with Stars” Evgeniy Kot, 2017.
On the day we met, he came with his wife, we all liked each other. Five days before the start of the project, work began. Zhenya paired up with me, twirled me, pressed me to him and looked straight into my eyes. It was awkward, I was shy. And right there next to him was his wife Tata, a world champion in pole dancing. We trained in their own dance studio.
It’s a standard story for dancers to portray love in dance, but it wasn’t so easy for me. In the end, Zhenya’s wife came up and said: “So, Nadya, we need passion here, we need love, tenderness, stop being embarrassed.” We started working more on our acting skills. And although the first week was still not easy for me, then I got into it. Zhenya kept asking: “How would you stroke your loved one? Is this how you hug your husband?” He sought realism and sincerity of feelings, this ability became our feature on the project.
Now we are family friends, we go to visit each other, we have dinner together. Vova has no jealousy, since he has come backstage more than once and knows how this passion and lightness is given through blood and sweat. Zhenya has a hand injury, I have a knee injury, and a few days before the project a meniscus fracture was discovered.
A year ago, due to constant performances in heels, I was diagnosed with knee overload, but I took a course of pills and forgot about it. And then before the start of the project - a crack! What to do, I had to urgently undergo treatment and undergo a course of painful injections. I wore knee pads during rehearsals, but it still hurt and my knee was swollen.
How many times did Vladimir propose to his chosen one?
A month after they met, the couple went on vacation out of town with friends. The singer left for a short time. The guy found the girl in the restroom, where she was washing her hands, and put a champagne wire ring on her finger. This marriage proposal was regarded by the singer as a joke. The wedding of Vladimir Dantes and Nadya Dorofeeva was postponed indefinitely. For the singer, this act was an awareness of the seriousness of the relationship.
Then in 2020, the young man decided to try his luck again and invited a member of the “Time and Glass” group to a country cottage. There he prepared a romantic dinner, at one point he got down on his knee and proposed to marry him with a real expensive ring.
The singer accepted his offer with great joy. Finally, people around them started talking about the wedding of Vladimir Dantes and Nadya Dorofeeva. But they had a crisis at work, and therefore with money, and the wedding was postponed again indefinitely. Because of this, rumors began to circulate that Nadya Dorofeeva and Vladimir Dantes broke up.
The guy made the third proposal on the air of one of the radio channels on the birthday of his future mother-in-law. This attempt was the most successful and in the summer of 2020, Nadya Dorofeeva and Vladimir Dantes got married. The young people did not celebrate this event abroad, but held a celebration in the suburbs of Kyiv in the fresh air.
Everything is complicated: Nadya Dorofeeva admitted that she really thinks about her husband
According to Clutch.ua, fans of Nadya Dorofeeva and Vladimir Dantes began to suspect that the couple had big problems. The famous singer, lead singer of the group “Time and Glass” Nadya Dorofeeva and ex-member of “DiO.films”, and now TV presenter Vladimir Dantes got married on July 8, 2020. Fans follow the life of the happy couple very closely. However, recently Nadya has given reason to believe that everything, unfortunately, is not so smooth.
On her personal Instagram page, Nadya Dorofeeva published a large touching post in which she does not hide the fact that she constantly misses her lover and remembers every little thing associated with him. Although the post was very exciting and romantic, some of the singer’s subscribers suspected something was wrong.
"Something happened? Why such sad speeches...”, “Hmm... It’s difficult when your soul mate is far away... But did you really start having problems because of this,” followers began to worry.
“Is it difficult for me without you? I remember every look of yours, every moment with you, every touch. I recognize your voice from a million others... Your habits have long become my habits, I tried to hate you for your shortcomings, but in the end I fell in love even more.
I have studied every feature of your face, I know your favorite color and taste in music, I know what you like to eat for breakfast, what you are interested in, your preferences in food, your favorite book and favorite line in it. I know your character by heart. I studied your soul inside and out, I picked a lock for your heart. What should I do with all this?
If I had a few minutes left to live, I would be incredibly happy just to look into your eyes, to touch you with my fingertips. Even just to see your silhouette in my last moments... I would certainly choose you among thousands of others, even if I never knew. Every second in which you don’t pick up the phone or read a text message, I worry more than ever. Nonsense immediately creeps into your head, you want to go crazy at these moments. So, do you think it’s difficult for me without you?” Nadya Dorofeeva touchingly admitted about her feelings on her personal page. Earlier, Znayu reported that the famous Ukrainian TV presenter and musician, husband of the popular singer Nadya Dorofeeva, Vladimir Dantes, shocked fans with a photo from childhood. Vladimir Dantes showed what he looked like when he was at school. In the childhood photo, the TV presenter wears large, funny glasses, as well as blond hair and a chubby appearance. The artist posted a funny photo on his Instagram account. “Scroll on and see what this boy has become! If anything, in the summer I burned out and cut my hair like Richard Gere,” Dantes joked. In the publication, Vladimir added a modern photo for comparison. The changes in appearance are truly amazing.

On July 8, 2020, a long-awaited event took place in the life of a young couple. A solemn wedding took place. The “lavender” wedding of Vladimir Dantes and Nadya Dorofeeva took place in one of the countryside complexes near Kiev.
The decoration of the banquet hall and the outdoor ceremony was done in purple, peach and pink. There were a lot of fresh flowers at the ceremony and, above all, lavender. The girl chose a narrow satin dress with a thin silver belt that successfully emphasized her waist. The veil was also discreet, but very stylish and discreet, with elements of hand embroidery.
The girl was led to the altar by her producer. She always treated Potap with respect and considered him her friend and mentor. Much to Nadia’s regret, her father was unable to come to the wedding, which somewhat darkened the joy of the event.
At the banquet, the bride sang the groom a song that she wrote especially for him as proof of her love and respect. The groom and guests were delighted with this act.

Participant of the musical project “Star Factory” and host of the travel show “Food, I love you!” In recent years, Vladimir has devoted less time to his musical career, refocusing on working on television.

The future artist grew up in an ordinary family, his father worked in law enforcement. Throughout his childhood, the boy dreamed of following in his father’s footsteps and becoming a policeman. With age, Vladimir began to get involved in music, and teachers noted the guy’s good vocals. As a result, the parents sent their son to the choir. The boy turned 4 years old when his signature song was “A Grasshopper Sitting in the Grass.” With this song, little Vladimir won over the kindergarten choir.

At school, Vladimir studied well, but had a mischievous character, and he was kicked out of class more than once for bad behavior. Soon the young man entered the music pedagogical school, studying there allowed him to show his talent in the future. In the same educational institution, the future musician received the specialty of a vocal teacher. Despite the guy’s desire to connect his life with music, his parents advised him to get a more promising profession. Vladimir entered the Kharkov Polytechnic Institute with a degree in Business Financial Management. After graduating from university, the young man worked for some time as a bartender, party host, and even an installer.
After participating in “Star Factory 2,” the musician continued his studies and entered the Kharkov Lyatoshinsky School, where he studied with his teacher Liliya Ivanova. In 2020, Vladimir also became a presenter on the Lux FM radio station.
How does a couple live after marriage?
Judging from the interviews, young people successfully cope with everyday life. Nadya claims that she was pleasantly surprised when she found out that her husband was an excellent cook. Dantes said that his wife does not adhere to her stage image in life and is a very sweet, sensitive and kind girl.
Also, the guy does not hide the fact that he very often gives in to his significant other, but he does not consider himself henpecked. According to him, Dorofeeva is much more emotional than him; the girl needs more time to think about the situation and make a calm decision.
The couple admitted that they sometimes have quarrels, but they do not concern everyday problems. They can argue about music and creative plans. Despite periodic releases of negativity in the press on the topic “Vladimir Dantes divorced Nadya Dorofeeva,” the couple lives in a happy marriage to this day and does not pay attention to such gossip.
How does a couple divide the family budget?
The young people claim that the money they both earn goes into a common envelope. Not long ago, a couple bought a new car with their savings. Nadya is still in the process of improving her driving skills, but she can already successfully take her friends home after a successful banquet.
The girl admits that she is still unsure of driving and her husband helps her in mastering this process after receiving her license. Nadya claims that Vladimir has enough patience for loyal remarks while riding with her; she determines his dissatisfaction only by the change in the frequency of his breathing.
Now the couple plans to purchase personal housing. This dream, according to Vladimir Dantes and Nadya Dorofeeva, becomes more and more real with each month of persistent touring.
According to the girl, after the wedding, her husband became even more generous and tries to pamper his wife as often as possible with various gifts and vacation trips. Now both artists are working in their popular groups and fulfilling contract clauses, thereby actively earning money for a prosperous future for their family.
Dantes on television
In October 2012, the musician, together with TV presenter Victoria Batui, began hosting the TV show “Closer to the Body,” the Ukrainian version of the popular French project “Can you feel love.” The main character's task was to choose a contender for his heart, using human senses - sight, smell, hearing, taste, touch. According to the newly minted presenter, their goal was not so much to choose a couple, but to give the audience more positive emotions.

In 2013, he shone in the transformation show “Yak two drops” on the Ukraine TV channel - he parodied Grigory Leps, Igor Kornelyuk, Oleg Skrypka. The audience and jury were especially delighted by his performance in the image of Vitas, when he received the maximum 12 points from all the judges of the project (Roman Viktyuk, Alexander Revva, Lyudmila Artemyeva and Susanna Chakhoyan).
Since 2014, the charismatic artist has become one of the hosts of the project “Food, I love you!” on the channel “Friday!” In company with Eduard Matsaberidze and Nikolai Kamka, he traveled to different cities, revealing to the audience the most unusual cuisines. For example, in Indonesia he tried a bat dish, in Hong Kong he tried a very specific rotten duck egg, and in Shanghai he ate fried jellyfish. He also tasted the exotic fruit durian, tasty and containing many vitamins, but with a terrible smell.

In 2015, Vladimir was a presenter on Lux FM radio, as well as a mentor on the children's show “Little Giants” on the “1+1” channel. The wards of Irma Vitovskaya, Olga Freimut, Vladimir Goryansky, and Nadezhda Dorofeeva fought for the victory. With great difficulty and a gap of only 0.1 points, Dantes' team still won.
Are you planning to have children?
Immediately after the wedding, the couple participated in the filming of a project on the 1+1 TV channel. Talented children of different ages took part in this show and showed their skills in teams assigned in advance.
Dantes and Dorofeeva were the boys’ coaches in this project. Vladimir noticed during filming that his wife was very kind to the children. She was incredibly worried about them during performances and found words of support for everyone in difficult moments.
After the transfer, the couple realized that over time they would definitely become happy parents and have more than one baby. Now such plans are not destined to come true, since young people are actively pursuing their own careers, and they are required to fulfill all clauses of their contracts.

In an interview, Dorofeeva said that from the age of six she performed for guests who came to her parents. If at school Nadezhda studied well, but without bright results, then she began to show herself in the creative field by the age of 12. At this age, the girl became the winner of the Crimean Republican Ballroom Dancing Championship, as well as the “Southern Express” song competition.
At the same time, Nadezhda started earning her first income. She was a performer at the Albion nightclub in Simferopol. The audience loved how the young performer sang modern versions of Ukrainian songs.

At the age of 18, Nadya recorded her first solo album. It was called "Marquise".
In 2010, the singer joined the production project of Alexey Potapenko and Irina Gorova called “Time and Glass”. Initially, the team was planned as a trio, but after online casting, two performers were included in the lineup. Positive, aka Alexey Zavgorodniy, became Nadya’s partner.
The band’s first video, “That’s How the Card Fell,” became a leader in the number of views on YouTube. The songs of the group “Time and Glass” are created by two Alexeys - Potapenko and Zavgorodniy. Nadya gives them a unique sound.
The soloist of “Time and Glass” regularly participates in television projects of leading Ukrainian television channels. In 2011, together with sitcom actors Olesya Zheleznyak, and then with Viktor Loginov, she participated in the project “Zirka + Zirka 2” on the 1+1 TV channel.
