Anna Shaplykova: biography
The dancer’s biography began in Ukraine. That's where she comes from. Anna Shaplykova was born on May 13, 1972 in the Dnepropetrovsk region, in the city of Nikopol. Her career as an artist began after graduating from the Crimean College of Culture, where she graduated from the choreography department. She worked as a dancer in the Laima Vaikule ballet. Grigory Leps and Anna Shaplykova did not immediately become a couple. After meeting, their paths diverged; Anna went on tour to another city, and her heart was not free at that time.
The story of how Anna and Gregory met
The future spouses met under rather comical circumstances, but not without some romance, during the celebration of L. Vaikule’s birthday.
When Grigory first saw the girl, first of all, he introduced himself, and then... offered to marry him.
Naturally, the girl refused him. The proposal turned out to be serious, as Anna later realized. Then the girl joked, asking Leps if he had a Moscow residence permit. At that time, the singer didn’t have it.
As the girl answered jokingly, “without registration there is no wedding.” At that time, the girl really had a certain interest in obtaining a residence permit in the capital, because then she could get a visa and go on tour to Europe. Then she had Ukrainian citizenship.
At that time, Anna Shaplykova worked as a dancer in the ballet of L. Vaikule. But she could not even imagine that in the future she would become the wife of the famous singer Leps. At that time, the singer was 38 years old, and his chosen one was 29 years old.

More than once Leps participated in various charity events. So, in 2013, Grigory held a charity concert on his birthday, and sent most of the money raised to the Balashikha Cancer Center.
The performer was married twice. His first wife was Svetlana Dubinskaya. From this marriage, Gregory had a daughter in 1984. However, the marriage broke up, and later the composer met ballet dancer Anna Shaplykova. This marriage gave the artist three more children: a son and two daughters.
In 2013, representatives of the United States Department of the Treasury announced the singer’s connection with one of the post-Soviet mafias. Because of this, the artist was blacklisted, and now he cannot enter into transactions with US residents or purchase property in this country. He did not make official statements, but treated this event with irony and called his next record “Gangster No1”.

The path to family life
The man never backed down from his goals. He sought in every possible way the attention of the beautiful girl who had fallen into his soul. It was a whole series of incessant courtship and attentions, but without excessive intrusiveness.
The girl received flowers and all sorts of gifts from him. The singer was not stopped by the fact that Anna was not alone at that time. He had to conquer his chosen one and was not going to retreat.
The couple's relationship began to develop only after the girl broke up with her boyfriend. This time the boyfriend’s persistence was rewarded - the girl agreed to a date with the singer. After that they created a strong family. The couple has been together for 15 years and has no plans to leave.
Thanks to Anna's economic nature, the girl created the coziness necessary for the family in the house. Leps admits that his wife is the ideal of femininity and beauty for him.
Gregory and Anna officially got married when their daughter together was born. According to family legend, Anna had doubts about whether she needed to officially marry her beloved, because they lived well together without official stamps.
The girl asked Blessed Matrona to give at least some sign that this was really necessary and would strengthen their family. Immediately after this, the couple learned that they were having a child. This was taken as a sign from above.
How was Leps able to conquer Anna?
Like a real man, Leps did not think of backing down from his own. He did not stop caring for Anna, although he was not intrusive. He gave flowers, gifts, was always there, but Anna had a man, and she did not pay any attention to Leps. When circumstances arose that the girl found herself alone and agreed to have tea with the famous artist, their love story began. Since then, the couple has been together for 15 years.
The thriftiness and homeliness characteristic of Anna as a Taurus according to the horoscope helped create home comfort. For Leps, the ideal woman and wife is Anna Shaplykova. Leps' date of birth is July 16, 1962. His horoscope is Cancer, and for Cancer the priority is family and children. Perhaps their horoscopes turned out so well, and they turned out to be a strong family. They became husband and wife only a year after the birth of their first daughter. There is a family legend that Anna was thinking about whether it was necessary to legalize her relationship with Gregory, because they already lived together. She asked the icon of the Blessed Patrona to give her a sign. And the next day I found out that I was expecting a child.
Joint children
Leps now has three children in his family. The eldest daughter was born in 2002 - Eva, the middle one in 2007 - Nicole, and the youngest - son Ivan, who was born only in 2010.
The singer always wanted to have a son in addition to his daughters. Gregory has three daughters in total, since his first wife also gave birth to a daughter, now she is an adult.
When the family is gathered at home, Leps calls his son a slightly modified name - Vano. At the moment, his son is quite young and needs care from his parents.
The singer would like his son to grow up soon and be able to talk to him like an adult. The couple does not have any disputes regarding raising children.
Despite their complete financial wealth, parents do not want to spoil their children with excesses and money - on this their opinions completely agree.

The personal life of Grigory Leps developed very well, but the path to this state was long and thorny.
The first attempt to create a happy family was unsuccessful - he did not live long with a music school student, Svetlana Dubinskaya, with whom Leps studied together. The couple got married in 1983, and in 1984 their daughter Inga was born. At the time of the wedding, the artist was 21 years old. Soon the young parents decided to divorce.
Grigory Leps was head over heels in love with Svetlana, dedicated songs to her, and walked away from noisy companies for her sake. Dubinskaya was waiting for him from the army, and they decided to get married after Svetlana found out about her pregnancy. The desire to provide for his family was the first step towards popularity - Grigory began singing in restaurants in Sochi. However, work had an extremely negative impact on family life.

After performances, the artist often lingered in restaurants, came home drunk, and Svetlana, tired of the endless claims of her mother-in-law and father-in-law, and of her husband’s lifestyle, took the child and left Gregory. Later, the first wife of Grigory Leps admitted that their family could live if she had enough feminine wisdom to survive that difficult period.
In the early nineties, Leps left for Moscow, but in the capital his career did not develop so successfully at first. It was only in the mid-nineties that the singer was noticed, and with popularity came not only concerts and tours, but also money.

Soon, happy changes took place in the personal life of Grigory Leps. In one of the nightclubs, he saw the charming Laima Vaikule ballet dancer Anna Sheplakova and fell in love with her at first sight. At that time, Grigory was already famous, so when he decided to meet the girl, he was sure that she would immediately “melt.” However, her answer discouraged Leps - when asked if she would become his wife, the girl answered with a question, asking if he had a Moscow registration.
The romance between Leps and Sheplakova began seriously only a year later, when Anna’s personal life “cracked” - her relationship with her boyfriend went wrong, and the girl agreed to a date with Leps. Grigory was already thirty-eight years old at that time, Anna was ten years younger. Before becoming Leps’s wife, Anna dated him for a year, and then, when they found out that a child was about to be born, they entered into an official marriage.

“I instantly fell in love with her. As soon as I saw Anya, I realized that I would marry her. But he didn’t propose. She herself proposed marriage. True, I thought a little. We got married about two years after we met. There is still a spark in our relationship, family is everything to me,” the singer emphasized.
The artist’s wife had to go through difficult times - Gregory had problems with alcohol, and she supported him as best she could in his fight against his addiction. Currently, Leps practically does not drink alcohol.

Relationships with husband and children
Now she has a large family and a beloved husband, she is happy. Of course, she doesn’t see her husband as often as she would like. The singer has a very difficult touring schedule; he appears at home quite rarely. She is a wise woman and a loving wife, so she accepts her husband as he is.
Leps made his name thanks to his singing talent. Leps has amazingly powerful vocals and a feeling for every word he sings. Anna has an equally significant role - she takes care of three children, like a housewife looks after the house and, moreover, copes well with the role of the wife of a successful singer.
Her husband is the breadwinner. It is thanks to him that all household members do not need anything. This is the formula for their happy family life. When Gregory is at home, he devotes all his time to his family and children, and that is quite enough. The children get along well with both Anna and their famous father.
The singer at home and on stage are completely different. At home, he is a calm and peaceful father of the family. When Leps goes on stage, he brings with him a whole emotional hurricane.
His loving and caring wife was able to create the ideal balance for the singer. They are one and always listen to each other. When important decisions are made in the family, Gregory always listens to his wife.
How Anna became a housewife
Ending your career as an artist is a difficult step for some. Anna Shaplykova is a completely different matter. Her biography changed a lot after meeting Leps, when she chose the role of a housewife and keeper of the family hearth. No one forced or forced her to quit the stage. There were no serious disputes or disagreements on this issue; everything came out naturally. And age forced me to make a choice. When they started living together, Anna was almost 30. According to Anna, after 30 you need to either start teaching or leave the stage completely. It also turned out that Anna was expecting a child. For her, this was the determining factor to devote herself to her husband and child, her family. This is in her character and in her life values. What could be more important than family? Nothing. This is probably why Leps chose her, because he always dreamed of a quiet family comfort, which Anna Shaplykova was able to arrange.
Wife of Grigory Leps - biography, photo
The biography of Anna Shaplykova begins in 1972 in Ukraine. There she was born and received her education in the field of choreography. Afterwards she began working in the ballet, which was directed by Laima Vaikule. Anna often traveled to different cities with ballet. Her life was quite successful, and she performed well in her career. The only difficulty for her was the lack of Russian citizenship.
How did the future spouses meet? For the first time, Grigory Leps saw his future wife some time before they met, and immediately noticing her, he told the friends with whom he was vacationing that this woman would definitely become his wife. Gregory was captivated by her femininity and elegance.
Some time later, at the birthday party of Laima Vaikule’s husband, where Anna performed, Leps saw her and came up to meet her. Seeing the singer, the girl did not take his words seriously, but only laughed it off. She asked if Grigory had a residence permit in Moscow, to which he replied that he did not, and then the girl said that without registration there could be no acquaintance. Of course, it was a joke, but nevertheless the acquaintance failed. Then Anna had no idea that she had just laughed at her future husband, and besides, the age difference of almost ten years also made her a little wary. Also, by that time the girl had a certain relationship.
All the difficulties did not frighten Leps, he insistently constantly came to Anna, gave flowers and looked after him in every possible way, but every time the girl refused, until one day she finally agreed to drink tea with Gregory. After this, their romance began, which has been going on for more than fifteen years. The couple did not seek to legitimize the relationship and this happened only a year after the birth of their first daughter.
