Briefly about the celebrity
Yulia is the wife of the well-known journalist and TV presenter Andrei Norkin. She was born back in 1967. Almost nothing is known about the celebrity’s family and her childhood, except for some nuances; before her marriage, the girl’s maiden name was Rybakova.
The journalist's father worked as a taxi driver and skillfully played the accordion. Mother successfully graduated from the conservatory. The parents' talents were to some extent passed on to the celebrity herself. She received two higher educations, one of which is a designer.

It is worth noting that before her marriage, Rybakova was not as popular as she is now. After marriage, the public began to show interest in her person and become more interested in her life.
Confident careerist
In 1989, Andrei took the place of announcer in the information department of the capital's stadium. V.I. Lenin in Luzhniki. Quite quickly, the young specialist climbed the career ladder, alternately occupying the positions of junior editor, editor, and head of department. In 1991, Norkin became the host of an information program on the Maximum radio station, successfully combining part-time work with his main job.

In 1992, Andrei left the capital’s stadium and got a job at Radio 101. For 2 years, the tenacious journalist took the place of director of information programs. Then Norkin was the author and presenter of a music block on the Nostalzhi radio station for a year.

In February 2020, Andrei returned to NTV, where, in tandem with Olga Belova, he runs the political project “Meeting Place.” In one of the last episodes of the program, Norkin got into a fight with the Ukrainian nationalist, narrow-minded blogger Dmitry Suvorov. German politician Anders Maurer took part in this broadcast, providing a lot of photographs from Donbass, which depicted dead children and residents.

To which a political scientist from Ukraine reacted inadequately, accusing his colleague from Germany of perjury. Several other studio guests joined the fight, but there was little bloodshed.
Love affair at work
For the first time, Andrei and Yulia saw each other at the Radio 101 radio station, where a young girl came to get a job. Norkin at that time worked as the head of the information department at this radio and already had an unsuccessful marriage behind him. Our heroine was also divorced, but, unlike the man, she had a son, Alexander.

Journalist's family
After being married for several years, Yulia gave birth to Andrei’s daughter Alexandra in 1995, but the young mother did not stay on maternity leave for a long time and decided to go back to work on the radio. Already in 2002, the couple adopted another boy from the Orphanage - seven-month-old Artem. Two years later, his newborn brother was taken from the orphanage, whom Artem’s biological mother gave birth to and again abandoned her second child to the mercy of fate.
Yulia Norkina's family
When the adopted children went to school, Norkina had many problems. She was constantly called to the director because of Artyom (they spoke badly about the boy), but the journalist never blamed her adopted son for this.
To this day, the woman believes that there is simply no direct connection between a person’s genetic predisposition and his behavior, and the fact that she often had to visit the director’s office is a simple coincidence.
Now she and her husband are raising four children. When their family grew up, the couple decided to take out a mortgage and bought a two-story country house with enough space even for pets.
Personal life
Andrey Norkin is married. His wife, Yulia Norkina, works with him on radio and television.
The family has four children. All of them are already adults. Two natural children - Alexander (1986) and Alexandra (1995) and two adopted children - Artem and Alexey.
Despite the fact that photos of Norkin’s family can be seen on many websites (you just need to enter the desired query), there is practically no information about the family.
Andrei Norkin carefully hides his biography and personal life. But in order to form a definite opinion about a person, it is often enough that it is impossible to hide. First of all, a person’s behavior and actions can tell about family, upbringing, and education.
Labor activity
In 1992, Rybakova got a job as a presenter at the radio station where Andrei worked. Together with her husband, she began to conduct journalistic activities on many television projects, but after the birth of her daughter and the adoption of two boys, she decided to devote herself entirely to her family and take care of home comfort.
By the way, Julia’s two adopted sons appeared in the family due to the fact that in the 2000s she was actively involved in projects with the theme of orphanages. The journalist actively studied the problems of abandoned children, so she could not be indifferent to this problem. This is how brothers appeared in her family, abandoned by their mother.
Today, when the children have grown up, Julia has a lot of free time. Therefore, the 52-year-old journalist sometimes takes part in her husband’s projects as a guest or expert. Since 2020, she has been involved in her husband’s radio project “Komsomolskaya Pravda”.
A successful journalist, beloved wife and caring mother - all this is Yulia Norkina. We can say with complete confidence that the woman’s personal and professional life has been very successful.
Interesting Facts
A lot of interesting things happen in the life of the journalist, happy wife of Andrei Norkin, mother of 4 children. However, much remains behind the scenes. Here is a list of interesting details about Julia that we managed to find:
- Her son from her first marriage was born in 1986. Now Alexander is engaged in camera work on television. Daughter Alexandra, who was born in 1995, was trained as a veterinarian. The girl followed in the footsteps of her parents - she collaborates with the NTV channel, working with her father in his program.
- In 2020, Norkina became a grandmother. Daughter Alexandra gave birth to a son, Dmitry.
- Yulia Genadyevna's hobby is drawing.
- The couple visited the DPR and LPR and shared their experiences on the air of the Komsomolskaya Pravda radio.
- When the Norkin family grew, they took out a mortgage and bought a large country house. The two-story cottage accommodates the whole family, as well as several pets - cats and dogs.
At the beginning of April 2020, right during the live broadcast of an episode of the Meeting Place program, Andrei Norkin disappeared from the studio. On April 3, NTV reported that health problems were to blame. Yulia told the radio that she was not sure when exactly her husband would return to work. On April 4, the woman clarified that Andrei was facing a hypertensive crisis. It was caused by stress due to diabetes.
Video releases of Komsomolskaya Pravda with the participation of Yulia and Andrey on the official YouTube channel collect mostly positive comments. Viewers write:
- “It’s good when people do their job professionally, but most importantly, honestly... Thank you very much, Andrey and Yulechka!”;
- “Yulia, Andrey, you are great! I love listening to your programs”;
- “The Norkins are not only an ideal couple, but also the best journalists!”
The laudatory reviews are understandable, because every episode with the participation of the couple is high-quality and is accompanied by the “chemistry” of Yulia and Andrey. On the radio, their show “In Simple Words” featured such highly social issues as:
- “During the terrorist attack on Lubyanka, the security forces worked professionally.”
- “The Germans still do not show their losses in the Battle of Prokhorovka.”
- “About Snowden, Sobchak, domestic violence and the “Moscow case”.”
