Maxim Vitorgan

The creative fate of Maxim Vitorgan was predetermined: having been born into a famous acting family, he knew from childhood who he would become in the future. Collaboration with Quartet I, roles in film and theater, and work on television made the artist popular. After his marriage to Ksenia Sobchak, the actor became a bright social character. The couple was perceived as a single whole, and every appearance of the spouses was an event in the world of show business.

The idyll lasted six years. In March of this year, Sobchak and Vitorgan stopped hiding the fact that they had separated. Ksenia openly began dating director Konstantin Bogomolov. By the way, the lovers are already preparing for the wedding with all their might.

On September 10, Maxim Vitorgan turns 47. Fans are wondering who will be the main guest at the artist’s birthday party, who is increasingly seen in the company of actress Nino Ninidze. Was Vitorgan really able to recover from a difficult divorce and meet new love?

STAR CAREER

Collaboration with Quartet I played a key role in the career of Maxim Vitorgan

Maxim became the successor of the famous acting dynasty: his parents Emmanuil Vitorgan and Alla Balter are stars of Soviet cinema. The boy's childhood was spent behind the scenes of the theater and on the film sets of film studios. Looking at the work of his mother and father, the boy dreamed of repeating their success.

At school, Vitorgan Jr. studied without much diligence, but upon entering GITIS, he took his education seriously. In 1993, he got a job at the Moscow Theater for Young Spectators, where he was remembered by the public for his productions of “The Execution of the Decembrists” and “The Thunderstorm.” At the same time, the artist met the members of Quartet I, who changed his fate: it was participation in their play “Radio Day” that made him universally recognizable.

In the late 90s, Vitorgan went to serve at Lenkom, and then to Oleg Tabakov’s theater. In 2002, the artist got a job at the Moscow Art Theater. New success awaited Maxim with the release of film versions of “Radio Day” and then “Election Day”. The talented actor was noticed and invited to television. He worked as both a presenter and a director: he filmed “Unblue Light”, organized the “Invasion” festival, staged the “Women’s League” and “Distant Relatives” shows. At the same time, I was filming a lot. “Mobius”, “The Runaways”, “What Else Men Talk About” - these films were loved by the audience and were positively received by critics.

“There are about 60 films in my filmography. Among them there are those in which I starred almost for free. But most of it is only because they pay,” the artist admitted. — Yes, I don’t play French translated comedies in the enterprise, as I try to protect this zone. And my level of compromise in film or television is much higher.”

To provide for his family, Vitorgan actively starred in series and television projects: “The Diary of Doctor Zaitseva-2”, “Herbarium of Masha Kosova”. Participation in the extreme shows “Great Races” and “Cruel Intentions” brought him great pleasure.

Maxim Vitorgan often complained that in films he was offered roles of ridiculous fat men, and as a result he managed to realize himself as a versatile actor. Thus, in the film “Champions” the artist appeared in the role of a dramatic artist, in the film “Happy March 8, men!” - in a comedic role, and in the film anthology “Petersburg. Only for love” appeared in the image of the writer Sergei Dovlatov.

The demand for cinema did not change the attitude of theater to art, and after mastering the acting role, he took up directing. Thus, Vitorgan’s production of “The Cat” was nominated for “Director of the Year: New Wave.” At the same time, fans have always been interested in the personal life of their idol.

ACTRESS, MARKETIST AND TV HOST

The first wife of Maxim Vitorgan was Victoria Verberg

Maxim Vitorgan tied the knot three times. His first chosen one was Youth Theater actress Victoria Verberg. At first, the woman did not even think about having an affair with her colleague. It was all decided by chance: Victoria needed a man’s help in renovating her apartment, and the sympathetic artist often came to her home. The friendship turned into a relationship that lasted almost 10 years. The couple had a daughter, Polina, and a son, Daniil.

But the actors parted ugly: Vitorgan left his wife for a marketer named Natalya. Subsequently, Verberg noted that she did not hold any grudge against her ex - they had long ago turned from lovers into close relatives. The artist managed to forgive Maxim and maintain friendship with him for the sake of the children. She still plays in the Youth Theater and acts in films. So, last year, viewers appreciated Victoria’s role in the film “Year of Culture.”

Vitorgan's first wife spoke about her high relationship with Sobchak

The actor's marriage to a marketer also ended in divorce. However, Vitorgan did not despair of finding love, and soon his life was turned upside down by a significant meeting. Vitorgan Jr. met Ksenia Sobchak at one of the social events. People around immediately noticed the celebrities' sympathy for each other. The couple spent hours discussing creative projects and politics. Only close friends knew about the rapidly developing romance, so the news of the wedding of the presenter and the artist surprised not only fans, but also acquaintances.

“One of the main goals was to hide from society, not to make another PR out of it,” explained Ksenia’s mother Lyudmila Narusova. - She achieved it. I am a mother, I will accept any of her choices, I am glad that she is happy.”

Ksenia Sobchak and Maxim Vitorgan were married for six years

The lovers' relationship was constantly discussed in the press. Their quarrels, travels, gifts, appearances - any event was subjected to careful analysis. The couple was brought together and divorced for several years, and Ksenia was suspected of treason every time she attended an important event without her husband.

A new twist in celebrity marriage history occurred when Sobchak became pregnant. Previously, the presenter spoke rather harshly about children, but radically changed her opinion when baby Plato was born. “11/18/16 is now the happiest day. “I am the mother of a beautiful boy,” she told fans.

The couple accepted congratulations from friends and could not get enough of their happiness. Ksenia and Maxim devoted all their free time to the child. Touching photographs, joint walks, Vitorgan’s support for Sobchak’s election campaign - from the outside it seemed that the star family was ideal.

DIVORCE FROM KSENIA SOBCHAK AND A NEW ROMANCE

Konstantin Bogomolov became the new lover of Ksenia Sobchak

Sobchak and Vitorgan started talking about serious problems in their marriage at the end of last year, when Konstantin Bogomolov appeared on the horizon. The theater director increasingly attended capital premieres and exhibitions in the company of Ksenia. The situation was aggravated by the news of Bogomolov’s divorce from Daria Moroz, with whom he lived for eight years.

The story reached its climax when a fight broke out between Vitorgan and Bogomolov in a cafe in the capital. The media insisted that a jealous husband broke his wife’s lover’s face, but even after a video of the incident appeared, Ksenia and Maxim continued to show off, assuring that this did not happen, and that everything was fine in their family.

Fans wondered whether what happened was a PR stunt, or whether the spouses’ relationship was really one step away from disaster. Only on the night of March 8, Maxim and Ksenia admitted that they had not lived together for a long time.

“We have been living separately for quite some time, each with our own lives. While they were together, they remained mutually faithful. We do not share property, much less a child, whom we continue to raise as loving parents,” the couple wrote on the microblog.

After the divorce, Maxim Vitorgan continues to participate in raising his son

After this statement, Sobchak became more frank. She later explained that the marriage did not collapse overnight, feelings faded away gradually due to misunderstanding and mutual claims.

“You can’t stop loving in one day. At some point, he didn’t do something, didn’t spend money, didn’t buy flowers. It starts to accumulate and eat up something very important. If two adults could not maintain a relationship, it is their common fault,” said the presenter in the “Secret to a Million” program on NTV.

From passion to divorce: the love story of Ksenia Sobchak and Maxim Vitorgan

Finally, everything became clear: the spouses managed to remain friends, maintaining respect for each other. The couple did not divide property and did not touch upon the issue of paying alimony, deciding all this in private. They divorced in the summer, but continued to meet to spend time with Plato.

Then a rather delicate situation occurred at Kinotavr - Ksenia, Maxim and Konstantin Bogomolov ended up at the same party. However, the rivals behaved with restraint and avoided conflict.

Nino Ninidze also recently separated from her husband

What is the secret of Maxim Vitorgan’s enviable calm? Perhaps his new novel plunged him into a state of peace and tenderness. Soon after the divorce, Vitorgan began to be noticed in the company of Nino Ninidze. The artist also recently separated from her husband Kirill Pletnev, with whom she raised her son Sasha. Eyewitnesses claimed that Nino and Maxim were holding hands and flirting at the premiere of the play “Land of Nod.” Then the couple was seen at the Odessa resort and at several social events.

Maxim Vitorgan and Nino Ninidze officially appeared together for the first time

So far, Nino and Maxim do not advertise their relationship and do not even publish close-up pictures of them together. However, fans have already drawn conclusions and are sincerely happy for the actors who found love after a difficult separation from their spouses. On the last day of summer, Ninidze shared a frame where a man’s hand rested on her thigh. Subscribers' speculations soon grew into confidence —

This is Maxim. Those around them are looking forward to their guesses being confirmed and the couple officially announcing their romance.

Sobchak and Vitorgan talk about children

Ksenia and Maxim have been married for more than six months. The date began to be celebrated in advance

Sobchak and Vitorgan this week celebrate six months since their wedding, which took place on February 1. They started celebrating in advance: the couple arranged a trip to Europe and invited their relatives - Lyudmila Narusova and Emmanuil Vitorgan and his wife Irina - to join them as Irina Vitorgan. “We were vacationing in Jurmala at that time, but without hesitation, we went with them.” “StarHit” found out how the first family vacation went and asked the couple’s loved ones about how husband and wife influence each other.

love boat

Ksenia took upon herself the organization of the trip and the development of the route through Belgium and the Netherlands. In Brussels, where the trip began, I booked rooms in the five-star Amigo Hotel (double apartments about 350 euros), located in the city center: all the attractions are a stone's throw away. And in Antwerp I preferred a small boutique hotel with 11 rooms, White Lily (about 300 euros). In those days they were his only guests. The trip program also included Ghent, Bruges and Amsterdam. “We immediately rented a spacious car - our son was driving - and drove around the cities, looking at the architecture,” Emmanuil Vitorgan shared with StarHit. - We went to the shops. In one of them, Maxim saw the watch that he had been looking for for a long time for his beloved wife, and he immediately bought it. I was also pleased. Ksyusha knows that with size 46 feet it’s not easy for me to find shoes. She had a great idea: she had previously found an Italian store in Amsterdam on the Internet with a huge selection of large size shoes - they bought 5 pairs of shoes at once: black and brown. I don’t remember which company, my daughter-in-law understands this, but the main thing for me is that they are of high quality.”

During the day everyone walked together, went to museums and exhibitions, dined in cozy restaurants in the evenings, and then went on a night promenade. “After this trip, I fell in love with Ksyusha even more,” continues Irina Vitorgan. - Tactful, attentive. First I found out what kind of cuisine we prefer, I always found a compromise, because we have different tastes - I love Italian food, Emmanuel – Russian: home-style fried potatoes with herring, Maksyusha – modern European.”

In Bruges, travelers took a ride along one of the canals in the city center. I didn’t want to swim with a crowd of tourists, Maxim rented a boat for his family. “Of course, my son has changed over these six months,” Emmanuel Vitorgan is sure. - He lost weight - lost at least 10 kilograms. This, of course, is Ksyushina’s merit: Maxim wants to please his wife even more so that their relationship progresses. Irishka and I thought that he began to dress better, but when we told him, he did not agree. Looks like I didn’t even notice!”

Working as a husband

Friends of the couple have long noticed: after Maxim and Ksyusha’s wedding, social life and rallies faded into the background. “For the last six months, I haven’t seen Sobchak at all at parties where she used to be a frequent guest,” art critic Olga Sviblova tells StarHit.

But if Ksenia appears somewhere, then Maxim is usually nearby. Sergei Kalvarsky, co-host of the “Barabaka and the Gray Wolf” program on the “Silver Rain” radio station, remarked on this matter: “Being Sobchak’s husband is also a certain job, the wife needs to live up to it.” Over the past six months, Vitorgan has added other responsibilities. He became the host of the program “Through the Mouth of a Baby” on the Disney channel, and in September he will begin hosting the radio program “Notes of an Amateur” on Mayak.

“After the wedding, Ksyusha quickly brought Maxim into her circle and introduced him to her friends,” businesswoman Polina Kitsenko shares with StarHit. “It happens that she needs to drop in somewhere, show herself, and her husband waits somewhere on the side, out of sight of the cameras.” The husband often stops by the office of SNC magazine, where Sobchak is editor-in-chief, and, according to employees, brings armfuls of flowers to his wife. Ksenia also does not remain indifferent to her husband’s work. She attended the play "WHO" - Vitorgan's directorial debut at the "Other Theater". “At the end of the season, Maxim’s mother-in-law also came to our production,” actress Elena Ksenofontova told StarHit. “Then he called me and said that Lyudmila Borisovna was delighted and really empathized with my heroine. Of course, now we have become less likely to meet in the acting circle to have a drink and chat after work. Maxim is a family man, he wants to spend more time with his wife.”

Ksenia's friends also believe that marriage has changed her a lot. Instead of harsh critical messages on painful topics, joint photos with her husband are increasingly appearing on social networks, signed: “Beloved”, “My love”, “Together all day is wonderful”... “Ksyusha has become calmer, softer, more tolerant,” says friend Sobchak singer Gluck'oZa. – Previously, the hot temper of an ardent fighter, an oppositionist, was in the foreground. And now she has begun to formulate her thoughts more constructively and judiciously, without changing her views. This is still the same cheerful, perky Sobchak, but without sudden movements. Ksyusha is happily married, she has become feminine, and this comes with inner harmony. Like me, having gotten married as a tomboy, she calmed down, relaxed and turned into a woman.”

Draniki from Sobchak

The only thing that the ideal wife Ksenia continues to learn is cooking. In the spring, for the second time, she flew to one of the culinary schools of her friend, Nika Belotserkovskaya, in Italy. But her mother, Lyudmila Narusova, has long been pampering members of the Sobchak-Vitorgan family with delights when they come to visit.

As Lyudmila Borisovna told StarHit, everyone loves her borscht and stewed rabbit. But Ksyusha already has Irina Vitorgan. “And her pancakes with cottage cheese are so fluffy that even I, who loves to cook, asked for the recipe.”

Very soon, Ksenia and Maxim will be able to move into their own house in the Gorki-8 village near Moscow. Construction of the cottage has been completed. According to designer Katya Dobryakova, Maxim took upon himself the solution to many issues related to it. However, his mother-in-law visited the site more than once, keeping an eye on the builders. Fortunately, her house is nearby.

Both relatives and friends have long been worried about the question of when Ksenia will become a mother. She gets along well with children - she made friends with 17-year-old Polina and 12-year-old Danya, Maxim’s daughter and son from her first marriage. At the end of April, the couple went with them to Iceland for several days. Polina has just successfully passed her exams and entered the RUTI Theater Institute (GITIS).

“I took full-time classes from several acting departments at once, but I chose the creative workshop of Alexei Borodin at GITIS,” the girl told StarHit. “I’m a fairly independent person; I didn’t bombard my dad with questions.” I prepared for several months, during the exam I read excerpts from fables, prose, and poetry. Both dad and Ksyusha supported me and were glad that everything worked out for me. Ksyusha helped me choose a dress for prom and recommended an outfit from Alexander Terekhov, one of her favorite designers. It’s interesting to be with her, we can easily meet and walk and talk. I’m very happy for them and their dad, I’ll definitely congratulate them on their first family date.”

“I already have grandchildren and great-grandchildren, but Lyudmila Narusova really wants to babysit the kids! – says Emmanuil Gedeonovich. – The guys agree with her desire and support the topic of children. Apparently they are planning. So we’ll wait!”
