First marriage
Topalov went to the registry office for the first time in 2020, shortly before his 30th birthday. The artist’s past includes the wild popularity of the times of the Smash duo and a grueling struggle with drug addiction. Vlad was also not very lucky in love; none of his many novels had a logical continuation. Finally, in the spring of 2014, Ksenia Danilina appeared in his life, the daughter of a major businessman and the owner of an elite studio. In fact, the young people had known each other for a long time, they even went on a date, but the girl was too stressed by Topalov’s popularity, and he was then too fixated on himself.
The musician made a second attempt to establish communication only 14 years later. And although Ksenia went to the meeting, considering Vlad as an old acquaintance, gradually sympathy and a desire to link their lives forever arose between them. The lovers even got paired tattoos with their initials and the phrase in English “We found love.”
The couple legalized their relationship on September 18, 2020 at a modest ceremony in the Kutuzovsky registry office, and continued the celebration in a restaurant in a narrow circle of family and friends. The newlyweds moved in with Danilina's parents. Before the wedding, Vlad and Ksenia did not live together, so the beginning of family life was marked by a number of problems. For example, a newly-made husband had a hard time getting used to his wife’s four-legged pets - a Spitz and a terrier, who became full members of their family. In addition, it turned out that no one was ready to give in in quarrels and conflicts, so grievances multiplied every day.
Many were surprised by this marriage and the difference in the status of husband and wife. Topalov, whose wild popularity had long since passed, did not earn much money from concert performances and even drove around the city in a budget foreign car. Ksenia, on the contrary, grew up in luxury, accustomed to luxury clothing, high-class leisure, and the most expensive cars. Therefore, among the reasons for the divorce, which was finalized a year and a half later, they also cited the discrepancy between the wife’s requests and the husband’s capabilities.
Fans guessed about the problems in the young family when Ksenia, who changed her last name on her personal Instagram page to Topalova, suddenly became Danilina again. Soon the couple announced their separation. According to Vlad, the divorce was calm and civilized, and he and his ex-wife managed to maintain normal relations. Both were to blame for the collapse of family life, therefore, unable to find a common language, they decided to go their separate ways.
Biography of Topalov's first wife
Ksenia Danilina was born on November 17, 1988. The girl prefers to hide her personal life publicly. Actually, for this reason, even about her wedding with singer Topalov in 2020 did not immediately become known. The couple got married secretly from everyone, and Ksenia took her husband’s surname. Only close people were present at the ceremony and in the restaurant. One could only learn about the wedding from social networks, when the bride posted a photo in a wedding dress and signed it with a post that she was incredibly happy to be Vlad’s wife.
The romance began in 2014. Vlad tried to court Ksyusha earlier, because the guys knew each other for a very long time, only their musical career did not give them the opportunity to build a relationship.
Even during a stormy outburst of feelings for each other, Vlad and Ksyusha decided to get the same tattoo as a sign of confirmation of the sincerity of their love . True, the happiness was fleeting. After 2 years, it was decided to file for divorce. Against the backdrop of these events, there was a lot of gossip and rumors. Someone said that the spouses were never able to get along with each other, because each of them had an intolerable character.
There was also an opinion that the reason for the divorce was the lack of children. Vlad wanted an heir, but Ksenia could not get pregnant. Against this background, omissions and conflicts began. Vlad himself, in an interview in the press, indicated that the decision to get married was spontaneous for each of them. When they started their romance, they were both at the age when they wanted to settle down and start a family. But none of them took into account possible difficulties in the future.
According to the zodiac sign of the ex-wife Scorpio, each of them is a strong, strong-willed and emotional person. After the wedding, a period of everyday life began that knocked them out of their usual bustle.
Initially, the couple was in no hurry to file for divorce. It was decided to live separately, then take a break, and then completely dissolve the marriage. The couple believed until the very end that they would be able to maintain their relationship. Today Vlad speaks only warmly about Ksenia , saying that she is a wonderful person and he is glad to meet them.
Second try
In 2020, Topalov, at the invitation of Sergei Rost, began rehearsing the play “Pawn your wife in a pawn shop.” For the role of his partner, the director approved the famous Ukrainian presenter Regina Todorenko, the star of the project “Heads and Tails” on the Friday TV channel. As Vlad recalled, he immediately liked the girl, she won him over with her sincerity and simplicity. They got along well at rehearsals, and soon the singer invited Regina on a date.
The flared romance was interrupted by Todorenko’s constant departures as part of the filming of “Heads and Tails.” They were saved by telephone conversations, which sometimes lasted 6-7 hours. The presenter admitted that sometimes she didn’t even have time to sleep, spending her sleep time talking with Vlad. True, when the press started talking about the relationship between Topalov and Todorenko, they denied everything because they did not want unnecessary attention.
Quite quickly, the lovers began to live together. Both had long wanted children, so the news of Regina’s pregnancy was a great joy and pushed Topalov to take more decisive action. In mid-July 2020, the lovers appeared together at a Glamor magazine party, confirming rumors about their romance. A few days later, they went on a romantic trip to Corsica, where, during a boat trip on the Mediterranean Sea, Vlad presented his beloved with a ring and asked her to become his wife.
The happy presenter agreed, as subscribers to her Instagram account immediately found out. Soon Regina confirmed her pregnancy, showing her full-length photographs, which clearly showed changes in her figure. At first, the couple planned to get married after the birth of the child. However, at the end of autumn it became known that they legalized the relationship on October 25.
The wedding took place on Vlad’s birthday, he had just turned 33 years old. For the most important day, pregnant Todorenko chose a loose beige dress, which she complemented with white sneakers. Vlad also ditched the traditional suit in favor of jeans, a T-shirt and a white shirt over it. After registration, the newlyweds and their guests moved to a cozy restaurant. The holiday turned out to be sincere, family, touching. However, the couple are planning to have another, larger party after the birth of the child.
Youth years
In the early nineties, Vlad and his sister Alina became part of the famous group “Fidgets”. Together with them in those years the future “tattoos” Katina and Volkova, Malinovskaya, Lazarev and other talented guys performed. As part of the ensemble, Vlad toured many countries. We can say that from a young age he absorbed the “smell of the stage” and gained invaluable experience.
For three years, from 1994 to 1997, Vlad studied in England, but received his matriculation certificate at a Moscow school.

Birth of a son
The couple’s first child was born on December 5, 2020 in Moscow. The happy father himself told reporters about the joyful event. The baby was born weighing 3.690 kg and 59 cm tall. They decided to name the boy Mikhail - in honor of his grandfather, Vlad’s father.
After 3 weeks, the young father released a touching video consisting of video fragments with the most important events in the couple’s life. Among other things, fans saw the lovers’ engagement, footage from the wedding celebration, and ultrasound pictures of the unborn baby. And at the end, the parents showed the legs of their newborn son.
A couple of months later, Vlad shared his impressions of fatherhood with reporters. According to him, they are gradually getting used to the new family member and are already coping well with him. Parental responsibilities give the singer great pleasure. And he called his beloved wife a wonderful mother who, from the first days, copes well with her new role. Topalov understands that raising a child is a lot of work, but he is truly interested in this experience. He views fatherhood as “a unique opportunity to get to know yourself and a new person.”
Topalov's popularity
But first, it’s worth talking a little about where Vlad got this notorious popularity. Vlad became the idol of a huge number of girls in those days when he was one of the lead singers of the group “Smash”. At that moment, his life changed dramatically and the same can be said about the aspect of his personal life.

Many avid fans and admirers claim that the singer’s relationships changed at the fastest possible speed, and he changed his girls like gloves. Some are even of the opinion that he had a new girlfriend every day. All the young girls ran in crowds after Vlad and each of them tried to stay alone with him. As a matter of fact, this is what Vlad used in his younger years.

It is worth mentioning that quite famous personalities also fell into the ranks of Vlad’s lovers, for example, some fans claim that true love existed between Yulia Volkova and Vlad, but things did not come to marriage.
Group "Smash!!"
Why did Vlad Topalov and Sergey Lazarev name their duet “Smash!!” - unknown for certain. This word has many meanings in English. This is the verb “to smash”, “to destroy”, and also in slang this word means “successful”. Vlad’s mother suggested the idea of recording the song “Belle” from the musical “Notre Dame de Paris” for his father’s fortieth birthday.
Topalov Sr. liked the gift so much that he decided to produce the new group himself. Managers drew attention to the song, and promotion of the group on radio and television channels began.
In 2002, the group won the New Wave competition. The first album “Freeway” turned out to be mega successful, selling not only in Russia, but all over the world. In total, the group managed to release three albums and shoot seven videos during its existence. The duo's most popular songs:
- Belle
- Talk To Me
- Faith
- Obsession
- Freeway
- The One To Cry

In 2004, the group hoped that they would be sent to represent Russia at Eurovision, but at the very last moment preference was given to Tatu. That same year, the group essentially broke up. The separation did not work out peacefully. There were numerous mutual exchanges of blows.
So Lazarev accused the group’s producer, Vlad’s father, of assault and creative dictatorship, and Vlad himself of addiction to illegal substances. Vlad, in turn, argued that the whole point was about Sergei’s unconventional sexual orientation and his ambitions to create a solo project. They say that photos that appeared exposing Lazarev’s homosexuality began to cast a shadow on his reputation.

After 2008, there was a long lull in Vlad’s songwriting for seven whole years. He released the song and video “Let It Go” only in 2015.

During this time, he played roles in the TV series “Deffochonki”, “Petrovich” (paired with Lolita Milyavskaya), he tried himself both in big cinema and as an actor on the dramatic stage.
