69-year-old Alla Pugacheva has already stopped giving grandiose concerts and participating in large-scale tours. Now the Diva only occasionally accepts invitations to private corporate events. She spends all her free time in her own mansion near Moscow, surrounded by children and her beloved husband. Alla Borisovna also doesn’t give interviews to anyone; the pop star made an exception only for her close friend Oleg Menshikov, who recently acquired an author’s blog on the YouTube channel.

Pugacheva sincerely and without concealment admitted that she is happy with her current husband Maxim Galkin and wants to grow old calmly next to him. And although there is a big age difference between them - Alla Borisovna is 27 years older than her chosen one - she feels absolutely happy. True, on the wedding day the singer was not sure that this union would become so long and lasting.
From the Student Theater to the Big Stage
Maxim Galkin’s parents had nothing to do with creative professions. His father was a military man, and his mother was a candidate of technical sciences. The boy was born in Moscow, although until that moment the family had been wandering around the country for a long time. Maxim’s older brother also chose the military profession, so the youngest son was given complete freedom in choosing a profession. Since childhood, he was fond of parody, portraying his mother, her friends and school teachers.

At the age of 17, Galkin first came to the Moscow State University Student Theater. At first, doing parody seemed just a pleasant hobby to the young man. But he soon realized that he could earn good money this way. Since then, his life has turned into a series of concert performances and tours. But even now Maxim admits that he does not consider acting to be his life’s work. And if suddenly there is no stage, he will find something to do with himself.
Alla took the impudence
“I, of course, was a fan, an unconditional admirer of Alla. For me, as for many, for most people in this country, she was some kind of... significant figure. And I, of course, wanted to get to know her, like any person who is not indifferent to her work. And first I met the Pugacheva whom everyone knows. I invited her to a dance at the birthday party of our friend Shaboltai Pyotr Mikhailovich. Before that, Kirkorov introduced me to her at the Slavic Bazaar, which Filya still periodically regrets. It’s already a joke, but still... And two months later we met at this birthday party at the Metropol. And I asked her to dance. And then he took her phone and called,” Maxim recalled in one of his interviews.

He began calling Diva periodically, and she also showed interest in him. Gradually, a romance began between them, which became the main and very significant thing in their lives. According to Maxim himself, the age difference never bothered him. He was broad-minded. For a long time, ill-wishers and gossips claimed that the young guy had selfish motives. Like, he expected that Pugacheva would add star status to his name. But Maxim categorically denies these accusations. He assures that for the sake of his career he could have found a younger celebrity. No, it really was love.
Psychic Orlova: rumors of a divorce between Galkin and Pugacheva are pure PR
Rumors about the divorce of Alla Pugacheva and Maxim Galkin, which are actively discussed by Internet users, are PR aimed at drawing attention to the star couple. The famous Russian psychic Alena Orlova stated this in an interview with iReactor.
Unconfirmed information about the divorce of Alla Pugacheva and Maxim Galkin continues to circulate on the Internet for several weeks. Currently, neither the couple nor those close to her are giving any comments. However, as follows from rumors, the reason for the possible divorce was Galkin’s passion for a young TV presenter, whose name is not disclosed. At the same time, as emphasized, the famous comedian began to live separately from his wife, and lawyers are currently engaged in divorce proceedings.
Alla Pugacheva's ex-husband Philip Kirkorov also refused to give any comments on the emerging news about the Diva's divorce. According to him, he does not discuss gossip, does not share details of either his personal life or that of others.
I have no right or basis to comment on what is happening in this family now. “I can only observe from the outside on Instagram what their beautiful children, Alla herself, look like,” Kirkorov avoided answering.
In his interviews, when asked how things are going in the marriage, Galkin usually answers neutrally, pointing out only that their relationship with Pugacheva has not changed in any way, and the problem of divorce is not on the agenda.
PR campaign
The famous Russian psychic Alena Orlova , in an interview with iReactor, emphasized that rumors about the divorce of the star couple are nothing more than a PR campaign aimed at attracting attention to the once main news makers of the domestic stage. In her opinion, Russians have long ceased to be interested in the personal life of the Prima Donna and the “main comedian of the country.”
These rumors are largely related to PR. Considering that all of Pugacheva’s marriages were always discussed by people, this was a very popular topic. Now interest in Pugacheva and her personal life has faded somewhat. But people, it seems to me, who are engaged in competent PR, decided to stir up interest in this topic,” said the psychic.
The most relevant and popular topics are the personal relationships of stars: affairs, betrayals and divorces. As iReactor’s interlocutor notes, Galkin and Pugacheva decided to play on the “hot topic.” At the same time, the psychic points out that the reason for the “divorce” was the classic story of betrayal in an unequal marriage: “He left for a young mistress.”
Since the public is more interested in hot topics rather than some happy stories, they decided to spread the canard that Galkin has his own interests, and Pugacheva has her own interests. They say that on this basis they had a conflict, and that they decided to separate and get a divorce. In reality, of course, they can inspire the appearance of their discord, but they are united by children,” Orlova said.

She also noted that in order for the public resonance in the story of the divorce of Galkin and Pugacheva to be even greater, there is not enough a third person who could be accused of destroying the family. As an example, the psychic cited the recent scandal surrounding the divorce proceedings of Yevgeny Petrosyan and Elena Stepanenko. Then the Soviet and Russian comedian filed for divorce after 33 years of marriage.
In order to cause a great resonance among the public like Petrosyan and his wife, this requires a specific person on whom the reason for the divorce can then be blamed: a lover or mistress. However, in the case of Pugacheva, this will look somewhat pathological and anecdotal, and with Galkin, no one will believe it, because women like Pugacheva, after all, do not voluntarily leave. Not only do they have two children, but they are also connected by creative interest and material ties, Alena Orlova is convinced.
They will have an idyll again
The story of the divorce of Pugacheva and Galkin will end on a positive note, the psychic has no doubt. However, in her opinion, there will be no skeletons in the closet. Moreover, after some time they will again start talking about Pugacheva and Galkin as a couple.
I think that in the near future, experiencing and chewing on this story, Pugacheva and Galkin will come to reconciliation. They will shake out all their dirty and clean linen, but will come to reconciliation. They will again be talked about as a couple, Pugacheva will again look like a woman, regardless of her age, Galkin will again be in her favor - everything will fall into place,” concluded Alena Orlova.
Note that this is not the first such rumor. Previously, the media repeatedly reported about the imminent divorce of Alla Pugacheva and Maxim Galkin. It is noteworthy that then the divorce of the star couple was supposed to take place due to alleged betrayal on the part of Galkin. According to newspaper reports, more than just friendly ties have been established between the comedian and the ex-wife of football player Andrei Arshavin, the famous Russian TV presenter, Yulia Baranovskaya.

Dream castle
For the only woman in his life, he built a huge country house, reminiscent of a palace or medieval castle. “Max is a dreamer. As a child, he wanted a castle for himself, and when money appeared, he decided to build it. Although I was initially against it. Those gargoyles near the entrance scared me, and the design itself seemed strange. But the house is very practical, everything there is very thought out and functional. There are separate rooms for the children, Christina, Klava, Denis, me and Max. I always slept with my men in different rooms, it’s been like this all my life,” Pugacheva said in an interview with Oleg Menshikov.

Galkin, Pugacheva and their twin children Lisa and Harry now live in this castle, enjoying each other. “Max and I try not to put pressure on the children, look at them, study their characters. I’ve been watching Lisa for five years now, and she’s such an artist. Everyone admires her so much, but I wouldn’t put her on the Internet at all. But then Max takes off, he insists. But I still don’t understand who Lisa will become. Maybe she’s such a Russian Brigitte Bardot, or maybe she’ll even be a mathematician, because she loves all these numbers and diagrams. I’m still studying my children,” says Alla Borisovna.
Maxim Galkin: My wife is smart enough to pretend that I’m in charge

Today Maxim Galkin can safely be called the most sought-after TV presenter. He leads four rating projects at once on Channel One: “Best of all”, “Older than all”, “Tonight” and “Stars under hypnosis”. And gives concerts. He is preparing for a solo concert in the Kremlin Palace, where on March 23 he will present his new concert program.
Maxim found time to talk with journalists and fans live on Radio Komsomolskaya Pravda (97.2 FM).
“I haven’t saved any money”
— Maxim, how do you manage to do everything?
- Hard.
“It’s time for you to get a double, like Celentano.” He’s afraid to fly on airplanes and sometimes sends official doubles on tours.
“Maybe I would get a double, but somehow I still have time.” Although I would gladly work a little less. I asked one famous artist, pop singer: “Valery Yakovlevich, tell me, you’re a rich man...” And Leontyev answered: “Yes, Maxim, rich.” — “Didn’t the thought occur to you that you might as well take a break already? You can afford it. Have you saved up?” He says: “Maxim, you know, I’ve saved up, but I’m always tormented by the thought: what if I live long?”
That's how it is with concerts. When there are a lot of expenses, you don’t know how much money I will need in the future. And unlike Valery Yakovlevich, I also don’t know how to save.
Besides, they still expect something new from comedians all the time. I envy some of our singers with white envy, who have been singing the same thing for years (by the way, this does not concern Valery Yakovlevich), and people listen and rejoice. But it’s more difficult for us comedians; it’s not easy to tell the same joke. Eternal headache, you have to come up with something new. Once again I came up with something - so I’m looking forward to seeing everyone at my concert at the end of March.
— You have four shows now...
- It sounds loud - four shows. I have Saturday and Sunday programs. That's all. On Saturday - “Tonight”, on Sunday - either “Best of all”, or “Older than everyone”, or “Stars under hypnosis”, but always “either”. I can't be there more than twice a week. And along with those presenters who work six times a week, I think I’m still a fairly modest person.
— In the early 2000s, you became famous for your political satire. In connection with the elections, new heroes of parodies have appeared?
- Ksenia Sobchak - yes. I talk about her a lot in my concert. I seem to be the only one left who gives a lot of political humor from the stage. I don’t know any other artists like him. If so, tell me, I’ll be happy to go to their concert.
— Who is the most difficult to copy?
“It’s hard to show those politicians, for example, who have not yet become known for their manner to a wider audience. I would love to portray Grudinin, but I’m afraid that the general audience does not yet know how Grudinin speaks. The voice must be heard.
Teeth down!
— Among your victims there are also artists, your colleagues...
- What do you mean among the victims? I will popularize them. But colleagues from the last century are somehow brighter. Current colleagues are leaving too quickly. It’s often like this: today it’s popular, tomorrow it’s not. By the time I get ready to portray him, no one knows him anymore. Catastrophe.
— Isa Bagirov , your co-host on the “Stars under Hypnosis” program, already be parodied?
- Of course you can. Now he will hold on a little longer, and we will begin. He has a very bright, interesting manner. But there were only a few Hypnosis programs on the air, and you want me to imitate Bagirov. When I was leading the program with him, I only managed to catch falling people who fell asleep, I had no time for his manner.
— Were there any people who were not affected by hypnosis?
- Certainly. A huge number of artists did not get there because they did not pass the casting, they were not hypnotizable. For example, Zhanna Epple. Therefore, I advise all skeptics to think: why, if this is all not true, should we weed out so many wonderful, bright artists.
— Do you agree with the opinion that your work on stage is comparable to the work of a doctor?
- Certainly. Humor heals. The effect, however, does not last long, then the person is immersed in his life, but nevertheless, humor helps with minor illnesses such as depression, panic, fear, everyday sadness. In this regard, we are doctors. In more complex cases, it is still better to go to professional doctors.
— Is it possible to overdose on humor?
- You can laugh, of course. Sometimes people knocked out their teeth. I swear! The woman knocked out her two front teeth: she laughed so hard that she hit the chair in front of her.
“I wash the dishes myself - I take care of Alla’s nails”
— Did you receive a gift by February 23 from your wife? If so, which one?
— The children congratulated. Alla somehow brought them forward with postcards that they made themselves, with poems.
— You are in the house, apparently, commander?
“My wife is smart enough to pretend that I’m in charge.”
— Galina from Belarus asks what you like more: working on stage or doing housework?
“I don’t see performing on stage as work. God gave me the opportunity to please people from the stage and enjoy it. And housework is meditation. When Alla and I lived together in an apartment on Filippovsky Lane, I always washed the dishes myself and took care of my wife’s nails. Now we have a dishwasher, but I still love this job.
— I was surprised by your interview, where you said: if you choose between career and family, then career is nonsense.
“I meant that if something necessary for your career interferes with your family, you still choose family.” But this does not mean that you need to abandon everything. The family also needs to be fed. Career success is also the key to family well-being.
— If you understand that some business will bring in more money than jokes and television...
— Such a business will not appear in the life of an artist. Artists are not businessmen. They can be lobbyists, they can make money unintentionally. But a businessman is a businessman. This is the same artist, only in a completely different field. And, as a rule, this does not coincide.
— Now the words of creative people are becoming the number one topic for discussion. For example, Alexey Serebryakov’s remark about the national idea, which supposedly is rudeness.
“It’s strange to me that they attacked Alexei Serebryakov. Well, there must be some kind of, as Mikhail Sergeevich said, pluralism of opinions. A person sees it this way. He has the right to talk about his vision. He said it in context, in an interview, emotionally. Of course, the traits he spoke about (strength, arrogance and rudeness) occur. But not only in our country. And in the USA this is all the time. And this, of course, is not our national idea. I don’t even know what our national idea is. I think the greatest idea would be to have people focus on plus actions.
— Call from a listener: what is your favorite musical instrument?
And the recipe for your favorite dish.
— Unfortunately, I don’t play musical instruments, but so, intuitively, piano. Favorite dish is pancakes. They must be so thin, thin. Mom knew how to do this, Oksana, who now helps us around the house, also makes thin ones. You wrap something there...
-What are you wrapping there?
“It’s not convenient for me to say now that I’m wrapping it up there.” Let's just say sour cream.
Excursions around the castle
— Are you going to initiate the renaming of the village where you live to a more euphonious one? You can’t live in Dirt all the time.
— The name Dirt does not correspond to the content. The soils there are very clean and sandy. Well, they called it that historically. The village is already three centuries old, why would I go into someone else’s monastery with my charter? Once upon a time, Moscow authorities offered Alla an apartment in Last Lane. There is one in the city center. She said, “How do you imagine it? She ended her life in the Last Lane." And she refused only because of the title. Maybe if I hadn’t made Alla fall in love with the beauty of this village, she would also have said: “No, we won’t settle.” But for us it's just a name.
— They say that they even conduct excursions near your house .
— Yes, Ikarus cars stop at our place and people get out. Buses fill up in the center of Moscow and go to Zvenigorod, where there are many beautiful places. And one of the stops is our home. People come out near our small grocery store and walk to our house. Sometimes I watch this procession from the tower. They take pictures. I sometimes wave to them. I think maybe we need to somehow enter into an agreement with the organizers and Alla and I will go out to people for some money.
— Do you have pets?
— There is a dog, Marusya, an orange spitz. She is very small and loves to beg. When Alla comes into the kitchen to eat something, Marusya begins to hit her with her front paws on the leg, right on the Achilles tendon, and so hard that she can push her. This is its main feature: it constantly hits our Achilles tendon, but we feed it.
- Can't get into bed?
— We have a house help, Oksana, with whom Marusya climbs into bed. We allocated a person for her.
"I love to eat"
— Call from a listener: “Tell me, is there anything else that you can do as well as talk, and it gives you pleasure?”
- I like eating. And it’s just as contagious as talking. And many people who watch me eat, even if they are on a diet, break out and start eating with me.
— You recently said on the program that you weigh 86 kilos.
“If you find a scale, I’ll stand there.” I didn’t lie, I said it honestly in Hypnosis. I was really afraid to sit on the hero of the program, who was under hypnosis, fearing that we would crush him, so I told him my weight.
— Alla Borisovna said more than once that if it weren’t for her, you would wear the same sweater all your life...
— I like this legend. Before Alla appeared in my life, I still wore something. Of course, the impeccable taste that is inherent in my wife has radically changed my appearance. I’m really lazy, and the last time Alla bought me something, wonderful things, I didn’t even go to the store with her, she took everything by eye, and then we changed what didn’t fit.
— Tell me about the last joke someone else made, after which you laughed heartily.
- A wonderful anecdote. This is Alexander Anatolyevich Shirvindt’s favorite joke. A crematorium employee unexpectedly sneezed at work and now doesn’t know where anyone is.
AND AT THIS TIME
Harry dreams of becoming a volcanologist
— Do your children have idols, any personalities that they like?
- Certainly. Me and Alla have nice personalities. They are too small yet, they do not have such perception. They focus on us and cartoon characters.
— What cartoons do they watch?
- Different. Garik loves Brownie Kuzya and some puppy Volt. The range is wide - from “Princess Sofia” to “Dunno on the Moon”.
— Are your children jealous of the heroes of the “Best of All” program?
- At first they were jealous. Then we somehow got used to it. Of course, the program arouses keen interest in them. They enjoy watching it.
- They don’t say: “Dad, look, I can do this too”?
- No. They just start saying something loudly. If they see that I am too absorbed in contemplating my own program, where I am busy with other children, they begin to distract me: Dad, come here, look here!
— Harry, judging by your Instagram, dreams of becoming a volcanologist. How did he even know about this profession?
“He saw a volcano in a picture at our house when he was two years old and asked what it was. I told him. And since then he has been interested in this profession. He has already read a whole French book (well, you read to him in French - he is learning French) dedicated to volcanoes. In general, he understands.
TO THE POINT
16 years together: Galkin showed how the affair with Pugacheva began
The comedian and TV presenter published an archival photo
“Nice photo,” Maxim Galkin captioned a photo with his wife, taken 16 years ago, on his Instagram.
Fans of the comedian remember that it was at this time that the romance of the “woman who sings” with the young artist began. True, at first no one believed this story: Alla Borisovna in those years was still the wife of Philip Kirkorov. And the 27-year age difference confused many. (details)
Happiness is when you are understood
The diva does not hide the fact that she is absolutely confident in her husband’s love. “It was the first time I felt happy in marriage. Before that, I didn’t know what it was to be married. I had some kind of husbands. One director, another in general... Well, with Filya everything is clear. It was necessary with Philya. And now I look at Max, and he is young, handsome, smart, with a sense of humor. I still don’t understand how I got so lucky with him. That’s how many husbands I had to go through, how many attempts I had to make to find him,” says the singer.

And Maxim feels endless happiness, looking into the eyes of the woman he loves. “I am incredibly happy because I incredibly love to give. Give time, energy, love. I like giving gifts more than receiving. I have such a property. The more happy a person is when receiving a gift, the more pleasant it is for me. Not in the sense of gratitude, but in the sense of emotions. I am so happy when I see that Alla is happy, I am constantly, happily ready to create a comfortable space around her. It seems to me that she lacked this before,” says Alla Pugacheva’s faithful and devoted husband.
Alla Borisovna is a good housewife
Residents of Gryaz seriously talk about what a good housewife Pugacheva is. One neighbor said that experienced chefs cook for their family, from whom the Diva learns culinary tricks and then shares them with the locals. For example, she recently told how she adds grated apples to cutlets, making the products juicy and very tasty.
