It was love at first sight. When Igor Petrenko first saw Catherine Klimov, he immediately understood: she was his fate. That's just no steps then did not fundamentally. At that time, Igor was married, so as a person with a clear life position decided to just move aside. It was not easy. Igor and Katya were filmed together in the series "Moscow windows", so a lot of time spent daily by side.
Shooting ended. Klimov and Petrenko took up their projects. However, Igor could not forget the partner on the film. For almost a year he tried to fight his feelings. Because I understood: he is plunged into new relations now, and on his marriage you can put a cross. "We can say, these were twelve months of the internal struggle," Igor recalls today. "But then I still could not stand and called."

In order not to look into the eyes of the spouse, Igor then even left the house. Going nowhere. I lived with friends, and sometimes spent the night right in the car. But it was much easier than to pretend before his wife, that in their family everything is in order. After all, together with her, they survived a lot ...
For the first time Igor married, still being a student. His future spouse - Irina Leonov - he saw during the entrance examinations in theatrical. All the years of study, this couple did not part for a minute. However, they got married, only receiving diplomas. Times then were hungry, but funny. So, to scrape money for a wedding trip, they both went to work as waiters. "The salary was five hundred rubles, and on the road to the theater every month I spent three and a half thousand. So for our romantic trip to work a little in another sphere, "Igor recalled.
When the actor understood that he fell in love, first moved from Irina: I wanted to be alone to understand how seriously his new passion was. So, when after time he offered to divorce, for Irina it did not become a surprise. "We normally diverged. I am fine with Ira. I am glad that she has everything wonderful, life has happened just fine! " - says Petrenko today.
... Katya Klimova at the time of dating Igor Petrenko also took place in official marriage. With her husband, jewelry Master Ilya Khoroshilov, she was familiar from fifteen years old. At first they just walked around the city, kissed in dark corners. And got married when Katya received a diploma on the end of the Shchepkinsky Theater School.
The spouses grew the daughter of Lisa, and on the part of their family life seemed perfect. Ilya was a good husband. He adored the little Lisa, which is similar to him as two drops of water. And there was a beautiful wife, practically blowing the dust from her. When Katya informed him about his care, Ilya could not understand and take this fact. He did not want to give her a divorce and even threatened to shoot Petrenko!
Then many were discarded Katya from an unreasonable step. Even her parents stood on the side of a deceived husband: they say, what to destroy such a strong family, because with Ilya she is familiar with many, many years, and the new Beloved is an actor by profession, which means: man he is windy and unreliable. In short, you have to get treasured and return to my husband ... But Katya did everything in his own way. She picked up a tiny daughter and moved to Igor.
However, her hands and heart suggestions had to wait for many years. At first, Igor and Kati were born children - sons of Matvey and the roots, and only then they finally legalized the relationship. "We both have already been married and know that the seal in the passport does not give any guarantees of a happy life. We are fine, and I am happy, "explained Katya curious. But in the depths of the soul still dreamed of a wedding.
Ironically, the problems in their family began it precisely after Petrenko and Klimov became her husband and his wife. Some of the common familiar couples are confident that Igor's in love has become the cause of numerous quarrels. Others are convinced that the Kate did not have enough female tact and wisdom. They tried to save his marriage for a long time. A couple of years ago, Katya even agreed to forget about his professional ambitions and moved for Igor to live in Peter. He then starred in the television series "Sherlock Holmes" and spent almost all the time in the city on the Neva. Katya, as a faithful wife, decided to be close to him. "Igor at some point set a question to the edge: I have to come to him to Peter and cook borschy. And I really came to him and began to boil Borshi, "Klimov told.
While Igor worked, Katya spent all the time with children and, according to her expression, "created a comfort in the house." It seemed that the same idyll came to which both were striking. "Probably, the family is the main thing in my life," Petrenko said at that time. - And I would all give for them, my households were happy. I want to somehow protect them from troubles, problems, diseases. It does not always work. But I try as I can. "
Nevertheless, the acting party was shuffled that all efforts were vain and the problems of this family are not cinema, but the most real. And when the spouses began to live separately (Katya - in the country house, Igor - in the city apartment), then it became clear: a divorce is not far off. The actors themselves, however, have long made the view that they are all right in their small family Mirka. "We are not first diluted for the first time," Petrenko said in an interview a year ago. - Yes, sometimes we live apart, but this is not connected with some kind of disagreements, but with necessity. We are printed about this "News" in the media, discuss ... and not even think about how much it went. We are with my wife - adults, we will survive all these conversations. But we do not exist in a vacuum, these unpleasant rumors reach our children's ears. It is unpleasant".
Alas, rumors still turned out to be not no questions. On July 11 of this year, at the closed session of the court, marriage between Catherine Klimova and Igor Petrenko was officially dissolved. One of the most beautiful couples of Russian cinema broke out. And with her - a dream that love is able to overcome all obstacles.
... Several years ago, Katya Klimov admitted: "I want to argue the immense in this life. And I convince everyone that it is possible - to be happy in the family, to bring up three children and filmed in the cinema. " Sorry, but the miracle did not happen.
Exexes and Iks
Surprisingly, "Exeks" and Klimova, and Petrenko, on the contrary, were happy in family life - already with other "halves". First spouse Igor, Actress Irina Leonova, now married to the actor Evgeny Tsyganov, the main character of the main hero of the Thawel. And she is - a large mother: a couple already have six children - four sons (Alexander, Andrey, Nikita and Georgy) and two daughters (Polina and Sophia).
Irina got acquainted with Tsyganov many years ago on the filming of the TV film "Children Arbat" directed by Andrei Eshpaya. Contrary to rumors in the press, it happened already after parting with Petrenko. Although Eugene and Irina did not register their marriage, they believe that their common children, and not at all official press and stamps, and there is the main proof of their love. And when the Ira ask what their secret is happiness, she quotes the phrase from the series "Thaw": "Never doubt those who love!" Because I am sure: as soon as doubts begin, something bad and in real life will happen. "Of course, we are different with Zhenya, depending on the mood, situations, - Irina told in one interview. - But the main thing in the family is to hear each other. Yes, we had a lot for ten years of living together. Yes, we quarreled. However, there were never thoughts even for a while. "
I found my family happiness and Ilya Khoroshilov, a former husband of Catherine Klimova. Incredibly, but the fact: I contributed to the acquaintance with his current spouse ... Katya herself. Somehow she asked Ilya to go with her daughter in the circus - agreed on a joint campaign with children with a close friend, actress Elena Biryukova, but because of his work simply did not have time to escape.
Ilya and Elena then told each other for a long time. Then they met again - already without children. Once again. Ilya later, of course, he was very seriously thinking whether he should begin serious relationships: although he really liked Lena, but he again to associate his fate with the actress, he confessed, was afraid. And only after about the year, goodness and Biryukov decided to live together.
Lena, I must say, also reacted with a new relationship. She already had an unsuccessful experience of family life. Another twenty-year-old girl, she jumped married to the rock musician Alexander Romanovsky, known for the group "Children of Lieutenant Schmidt." True, this early marriage was not lasted and years. Soon each went to his way: Romanovsky then fell into depression and went to the village, becoming a shepherd. And Elena went from his native Minsk to Moscow - to conquer the capital's theatrical colleges. Despite the divorce, the ex-spouses retained good, friendly relations.
The second in his life divorce Elena experienced more tragically. With Alexey Litvin, she met, being a student. In Gitis, where Biryukov studied, her future spouse worked as a trading teacher. For a while lasted the "candy-flower" period, after which the lovers officially legalized their relationship. Soon the spouses were born a daughter, which was called the victorious name Alexander. Nevertheless, it turned out quite soon that the family is daily work. And support the fire in the home focus - the occupation is not the simplest. Alexey Litvin Vitital somewhere in the clouds, without taking care of the affairs of the earth - for example, making money on the family. And when Biryukova offered a role in Sasha + Masha's Sitkom, immediately accused his spouse that she betrayed high ideals. What did not prevent him from a divorce to live in three-room sorry, while Lena with a small daughter juts in a tiny removable apartment. By the way, the attitude of the former husband to his native daughter she still can not accept. With Sasha, he practically does not communicate. Looking at his girlfriend Klimov and her ex-wife Ilya Khoroshilov, who adored to mess around with a little Liza, she always envied the Kate: There are men!
"It was this father that would like for my children. How many times I saw Khoroshilov, I thought so many times, "Lena confessed later. And now she was able to check out on personal experience: Ilya is a really beautiful father. Two years ago, Elena and Ilya had a daughter Aglaya. But also to the eldest, Alexandra, Ilya refers to the native.
And Ilya Khoroshilov - a man who was able to give Lena a feeling of security (what she had never had in her previous relationship). True, while the couple lives in a civil marriage, leaving for the future lush celebrations with a wedding dress and a bouquet of the bride.
