The reason for such closedness, they say, served as a tragic case. One of the admirers of Akinfeyev committed suicide. To the deadly final, the girl brought the Hamsky response of an unknown person in a social network, which wrote on behalf of Akinfeev. And, despite the fact that Igor was not to blame for what had happened, he was hard to experience that tragedy and now prefers to stay away from social networks.
It is because of this, fans have to learn about the details of the personal life of Akinfeev from a wide variety of sources. Sometimes not always reliable. Sometimes there are incidents at all. So, for a long time it was believed that the spouse of the goalkeeper is Valery Yakunchikova, the daughter of the head of the football team CSKA and the granddaughter of the legendary coach Valery Nepomnye. They really met for almost six years - since 2008. Young beauty at the time of dating was fifteen years old, goalkeeper - 22 years old. But when it became known that the goalkeeper married, the wife was not at all Valery, but a completely different girl. Kiev woman Ekaterina Gerun is a fashion model and actress. They met with a common friend. Exchanged phones, for some time they simply corresponded. "Then I decided that it was necessary to go on some other level. We had a vacation, after him I said: "Everything, flying." And so began to live together, "only once revealed Igor Details of dating with a future wife.

Today, spouses have two children: the son of Daniel and the daughter of Evangelina. Igor Akinfeev once admitted to the close thing that he had a dream: to thirty years to have at least one child. But the 30th anniversary came twice with his father. With children, he tries to engage as soon as free minute is issued. When they were small, and did the mixture, and they went for doctors, if there was time, in a word, everything, as in ordinary families.
But, of course, the main load on the upbringing of heirs is in Catherine. For example, she speaks with them in two languages - Russian and English. And if the Akinfeev himself with foreign adverbs is not particularly in Ladakh, then his son and daughter are already building offers in English.
Usually Igor and Katya are in the world, only if they are asking for a close friend of the family - the soloist of the group "Hands up!" Sergey Zhukov. With him, Akinfeev has been familiar for many years, and in 2009 he became the godfather of the daughter of the musician.
