Biography and personal life of Zhanna Friske
Of course, the biography and personal life of Zhanna Friske does not go unnoticed to this day, due to the emergence of new fans, and old ones can remember the path of life.
As we have already mentioned, the future singer was born in 1974, in the capital of the USSR. She was born together with her twin brother, but he lived very little and died. Having coped with grief, the parents began to invest all their love and care into the newborn girl.
Already in early childhood, Zhanna showed acting abilities - she had good hearing and a beautiful voice. During her school years, in addition to her main classes, the future singer participated in amateur performances. Along the way, she studied ballroom and sports dancing. It was already clear to everyone that the girl had a great future ahead of her.
After graduating from school, Zhanna entered the Moscow Humanitarian University. Her choice fell on journalism - a profession that attracted her from early childhood. However, having completed her third year of study, she withdraws the documents. The reason is simple - the future actress was not interested.
At first, Zhanna works as a manager in a capital company. A little later, she teaches choreography at the local Palace of Culture. At the end of 1995, Friske ends up in "Brilliant". There are two versions of how she met the creative team, but one can say for sure - without choreography and the ability to sing, everything turned out differently.
The producer noticed the girl immediately, because she combined all the necessary qualities for a successful singer. By the way, it was during this period that the name “Zhanna Friske” appeared as a stage name. The singer begins to tour with “Brilliant” throughout the country. It is noteworthy that at first, the parents did not agree with their daughter’s decision, but the zeal for popularity made them think.
The popularity of the singers begins to grow, and the producer decides to record albums with a short break. During this time, the composition of “Brilliant” was completely renewed - only Zhanna remained unchanged.
Already in 2004, the singer decided to leave the band and start a solo career. So, a year later the first album “Zhanna” appeared - most of the songs from the collection became hits. Music channels broadcast them every day, and later clips appear that immediately go on air. A year later, an expanded reissue of the debut album appears.
By the way, the first album became the last - singles were released after that. In total, there are just under 20 of them, and most of the songs hit the radio almost every year. Also, Zhanna Friske recorded songs in duets with other famous performers - Dzhigan, Dmitry Malikov, Tanya Tereshina. The last song appeared at the beginning of 2015.
In 2003, the fourth season of “The Last Hero” appeared, where Friske took part. The show was about people surviving in dangerous conditions. This also added a large share of popularity - viewers saw all facets of talent in the woman. Success on television also brought in the idea of pursuing a solo career. Since 2004, Zhanna has been participating in various television shows, such as “Hearts of Africa”, “Empire” and others.
Around the same year, “Night Watch” was released, where the singer played a supporting character. Despite this, she was given a very suitable role, which also increased the ratings. In the next part, Zhanna Friske also stars. For these roles, by the way, she is awarded the award for “Best Actress”. In 2010, the psychological drama “Who Am I” was released with the participation of the singer. However, the next film, “What Men Talk About,” had real commercial success. Spectators and critics praised the actors' work. In total, until 2013, when his film career ended, more than ten films were released.
It is noteworthy that Zhanna easily managed to destroy the existing stereotypes and competently present both as a singer and as an actress. Many critics note that it was implemented equally well in both directions. In addition, Friske could wisely take risks, for example, starring in a film without make-up artists, or add self-irony to her character.
In Zhanna’s personal life, she could not do without various gossip, sometimes not supported by anything. It’s even difficult to count the number of novels attributed to her - Mitya Fomin, Dmitry Nagiyev and other stars became objects of scandals. Journalists claim that at the beginning of her creative career, the actress met with a famous businessman who financed some of her projects. However, this relationship was not officially legalized.
Athlete Alexander Ovechkin was also listed as the star's chosen one. But later it became known that he was dating another “brilliant”.
In fact, it was possible to confirm the romantic relationship in 2012 - Dmitry Shepelev became the chosen one. Numerous photographs confirmed this information. Later, the stars stopped hiding the truth and began planning a family - however, the event never took place. This is due to a fast-moving illness - when the singer found out, there was no time for celebrations.
Family and children of Zhanna Friske
The theme of Zhanna Friske's family and children is also attractive to fans, and it is not surprising - many famous men have chosen her as an object of desire.
The parents of the future singer met in 1973. Father Vladimir worked at the Moscow House of Arts, and mother Olga was a student. After a little time, they formalized the relationship, and a year later Zhanna appeared. It is noteworthy that the father decided to take his wife’s surname, so at birth, the future singer was Kopylova. When she began to break into show business, she chose her grandmother’s surname as a pseudonym - she was German by nationality.
As you already know, Zhanna had a twin brother. However, due to the fact that the children were born only in the seventh month of pregnancy, the boy did not survive. It is noteworthy that the singer learned about him already in her adult years. At the age of 12, the future singer’s sister Natasha is born. The girls were very good friends, and the youngest also managed to take part in the “Brilliant” team.
As for the children, no matter how many of them were attributed to Zhanna, we can say with certainty that the first-born was born 5 years ago, and they named him Plato.
Fatal "Watch"
Zhanna Friske / Mystical harbingers of death

The singer admitted that she did not believe in superstitions, but one day she went to a fortune teller, who advised: “If you get a chance to become a witch, agree. Great glory will come." The clairvoyant turned out to be right; filming in the fantasy film brought Zhanna even greater popularity.
Dmitry Shepelev admitted that he continues to talk with Zhanna Friske
Son of Zhanna Friske - Plato
The son of Zhanna Friske, Plato, was born in April 2013. It was immediately decided to give birth in America. After the birth of their son, the star couple lived in Miami for three months. After the singer’s death, the media started talking about disagreements within the family - the whole point is that Dmitry Shepelev did not allow his son to meet his grandparents.
It is noteworthy that these quarrels continue to this day, despite the intervention of the court. Jeanne's parents say that the common-law husband is trying in every way to make sure that Plato does not spend time with the rest of his family. At the beginning of 2020, the child underwent surgery to remove adenoids. The star father reports that now the boy’s health is fine. In addition, he notes that Plato remembers his mother well and often watches performances with her participation.
Zhanna Friske's common-law husband - Dmitry Shepelev
Zhanna Friske's common-law husband, Dmitry Shepelev, is a fairly well-known TV presenter in the CIS countries. He was born in 1983 - the age difference between the future spouses was eight years. Despite his young age, he managed to participate in many television projects. The most notable of them are “Make the Comedian Laugh”, “Summer Kitchen” and others. In 2020, Dmitry hosted the music program “Two Voices”.
Information regarding Zhanna Friske's new man began to appear in the media in 2011. But at first, the stars denied the existence of a romantic relationship - only work ones. But already in 2012 it became clear that they were connected not only by show business. Of course, the couple did not comment on the information in any way, and only posts related to preparations for the wedding and childbirth appeared on social networks. The young couple planned to legalize their relationship in the capital of Russia, but everything was ruined by the tragic diagnosis of the singer.
He spent the last days of his common-law wife’s life with her, helping in every possible way. But, a few days before his death, he took his son and flew abroad with him. Most likely, this decision was made long before Friske’s coma, so as not to traumatize Plato’s mental state. A year after the tragic death, Dmitry Shepelev publishes a book called “Zhanna,” where he personally describes the last years of the Russian singer’s life.
Mystical gift
Death of Zhanna Friske / Signs of Fate
The day before Zhanna’s death, her sister Natalya received an icon of St. Matrona as a gift from her mother-in-law, which she embroidered with her own hands. Thus, she belatedly congratulated Natalya on her belated birthday. According to Friske’s fans, this was a sign. They believe that it is this saint who needs to pray for Jeanne’s soul. The artist's relatives share this idea.

Zhanna Friske photo during illness
While undergoing scheduled tests for pregnant women, the singer learned about her diagnosis. It turned out to be an inoperable brain tumor, in simple words – cancer. It was proposed to conduct several chemotherapy sessions, but Zhanna refused so that this would not affect the child’s future.
Of course, information about the disease was hidden. However, after giving birth, it was no longer possible to hide, and I had to tell - the singer’s fans and acquaintances were shocked. Search queries such as “Zhanna Friske, photo during illness” immediately become relevant. It is noteworthy that such photographs were already available on the Internet.
After returning to Moscow, the singer decides to try the proposed treatment methods from leading clinics and flies to the USA. But this did not bring much fruit. Also, rumors began to spread about the causes of this illness - but all of them were not confirmed.
A fund was quickly created where anyone could transfer funds for the Russian star. Over the entire period, we managed to accumulate almost 70 million rubles. The singer herself sincerely expressed gratitude to everyone who collected money.
In 2014, the disease subsided for a very short period of time. Before the fans had time to rejoice, Zhanna returned to a wheelchair again in the winter of 2020. American and Russian specialists fought for her health. However, everything turned out to be in vain.
Last photos of Zhanna Friske before her death
Before her death, the singer was in a coma for almost three months. She died on June 15, 2020. The Russian star spent her last days in the Moscow region, where her home was located.
The last photos of Zhanna Friske before her death have become very relevant. Fans wanted to see how their favorite changed during the period of illness. These photographs are easy to find on the Internet. It is noteworthy that they depict Zhanna with her family and friends, who until the last day were looking for a way to help her. Alternative medicine was even proposed, which also did not bring a positive result. As you know, after the death a scandal broke out, which Zhanna Friske could have prevented. The last photographs before the death of his wife, according to the parents, were sold by Dmitry Shepelev. The husband himself denies such slander in every possible way.
Some newspaper publications attracted readers with headlines like “Zhanna Friske in the morgue at the autopsy.” But it is impossible to get such pictures.

We deliberately omit questions regarding the nationwide collection of funds, Rusfond, Shepelev, the Kopylovs, Plato, the missing millions, all the litigation, squabbles, scandals, and all this vile dance on the bones that began after her death. If you need this, look elsewhere, you won't find it here.

Oddly enough, all this dirt seems to be aside from, in fact, Zhanna herself. In the memory of millions of people, Zhanna Friske remained radiant, cheerful and sweet. Woe to those who organized this Sabbath. Let's not be like them.
Zhanna felt the first symptoms of the disease soon after the birth of her son. She began to experience headaches, general weakness, and fainting. The singer was given a disappointing diagnosis - brain cancer. This was a truly terrible blow for Jeanne herself and for millions of fans.
It should be noted that Zhanna used every chance. The best doctors, the best clinics in Europe and America, the most advanced drugs and methods. In particular, a special cancer vaccine called “Abdiva” was used during the treatment, costing 200 thousand euros for 15 ampoules.
The last months of her life spent in Moscow, Zhanna was observed at the Moscow Oncology Center on Kashirka, where her treatment was carried out by the head of the department of chemotherapy and combined methods of treatment of malignant tumors, Mikhail Lichintser:
When she arrived in Russia, her illness had progressed greatly. They turned to us to administer drugs prescribed in the USA to her. It was, of course, impossible to cure, but her relatives insisted on it, so they brought her in once a week to administer medications. It was already the finish line.
Zhanna Friske
Unfortunately, the singer’s condition only worsened. Zhanna could no longer navigate in space and suffered all the side effects of chemotherapy and hormonal therapy. Her hair fell out, she gained excess weight, her legs gave out, and for the last two months Zhanna was completely unconscious. By the end of her life she was practically blind.
Olga Orlova:
She hasn't spoken for the past two months. For the last two months she has been dreaming all the time. I don’t know whether it’s a coma or what it’s called, but, in my opinion, she was conscious, she just didn’t say anything. She was asleep the whole time, but I think maybe I was crazy that she heard everything. Somewhere far away she understood, because we talked to her, tried to joke, I read in her ear the letters that came to her
On June 15, 2020, at 10 p.m., Zhanna Friske died in her home without regaining consciousness.
