Childhood and youth
Natalya was born in St. Petersburg in early March 1978 (zodiac sign - Pisces). It is difficult to say exactly about Kiknadze’s nationality. Father Avtandil Yurievich, a very wealthy Georgian jeweler who carried out private orders for high-ranking officials of the Soviet Union, passed on his daughter's hot southern blood. Mom Tatyana Vasilievna, Russian, took care of the housework and raised three children. Kiknadze has two brothers, Yuri and David, who became doctors.
The family lived in an apartment in a prestigious area of St. Petersburg, and the children studied at an elite gymnasium at the Russian Museum. By the way, Natasha’s classmate was her future husband, as well as the future TV presenter of popular humorous television programs, Ivan Urgant. Already in childhood, they were close friends, played together in the school KVN team, performed on stage in student productions and at amateur youth concerts.
All about the past of Ivan Urgant

Ivan Urgant turns 37 on April 16, and has more than 20 film roles to his credit. And Ivan took his first steps in the artistic field at school. Moreover, he made his debut on stage with Natasha Kiknadze, who became his wife eight years ago. Today the couple is raising their common daughter Nina. StarHit learned these and other details from the past of 36-year-old Urgant after visiting the showman’s hometown in St. Petersburg.
Ivan's childhood
StarHit found a unique videotape. The 40-minute recording was made on December 26, 1990 - students of the 7th “A” grade of the gymnasium at the Russian Museum in St. Petersburg are playing the play “Cinderella”. In the King with a paper crown and a glued-on mustache, you wouldn’t recognize the future star! Although Vanya Urgant’s role is not the main one, he plays it with gusto and in some scenes outshines the Prince. It feels like the boy is in his element on stage. Ivan does not part with his guitar throughout the entire performance, but he played it only once - during a change of scenery, he performed a Beatles composition.
“Vanya categorically refused to sing, and said: I’ll play and do anything, just don’t force me to sing,” Margarita Upit, a former teacher of economic geography and class teacher in Urgant, told StarHit. “But even without this, he captivated the audience, he and my favorite student Natasha Kiknadze, who played the evil stepmother in the play.”
Ivan's future wife also had a secondary role, but she played it conscientiously - her stepmother turned out to be bitchy, but with a sense of humor.
The gymnasium also well remembers the KVN games, which were held almost every quarter. Vanya led the team of students, and the permanent captain of the team of parents was his father Andrei Urgant.
“And the adults didn’t always win,” Margarita Upit recalls with a smile. “Even then Vanya knew how to joke so much that everyone fell over laughing. During classes, sometimes I had to ask him to be silent so that I could conduct the lesson normally...”

Dad's assistant
Artistry and sense of humor were inherited. He comes from an acting family: Valery Kiselev’s mother served at the Comedy Theater, his father is an actor at the Baltic House Theater, TV presenter, showman. The parents were not officially married and separated when Ivan was one year old. Mom soon married Dmitry Ladygin. Ivan lived with his mother and stepfather, but often visited his father and grandmother, the famous actress Nina Urgant.
“Nina and I are neighbors at the dacha in the gardening partnership “Culture” in the village of Gruzino (40 kilometers from St. Petersburg. – Editor’s note),” recalls actor Ivan Krasko. – Vanya visited his grandmother every summer, and we talked a lot. He once complained that during labor lessons at school he didn’t know how to handle a plane. I taught him that if you change the angle of the blade, it will be easy to plan. He quickly mastered this technique. Since then I’ve joked: “That’s why you can now take shavings off anyone.”
In high school, Ivan helped his father: Andrei Urgant, as an entertainer, hosted parties and celebrations, and his son performed, as they say, as a “warm-up act.” He already knew how to play five instruments - piano, guitar, banjo, xylophone and drums. Usually the events ended late, and Urgant Jr. often showed up at school the next day for the second or third period to sleep off.
“All the teachers covered Vanya, they understood that the guy lives and breathes this, the stage is his future,” recalls Margarita Upit. – Otherwise, Vanya was just a gift. He could have become an excellent student if he had not been distracted by creativity. And so – I graduated from school, like most boys, with “three-four-five”.

Family for six months
Ivan’s St. Petersburg entourage said that Natalya Kiknadze is the second wife of Ivan Urgant. He got married for the first time at the age of 18. He met Karina Avdeeva, a student at the St. Petersburg University of Culture, who was four years older than him, in the summer of 1995 in the same village of Gruzino. Vanya came to visit his grandmother, and Karina was visiting a friend’s dacha, next door to the Urgants. And it started spinning! The following spring, Karina and Ivan got married.
“We weren’t at the wedding - Vanya and Karina decided to celebrate this event in their party,” said Dmitry Ladygin, Urgant’s stepfather. “True, after the registry office, the two of them ran into our house for five minutes, we congratulated them...”
“I tried to dissuade him - they say, it’s too early for you to think about marriage, wait,” Nina Urgant once shared with StarHit. “But he didn’t listen to me.” Well, they lived with Karina for only six months.”
The love boat crashed due to everyday life and lack of money. Ivan was still a student at that time, but he worked part-time. Urgant admitted that he tried many professions - from a waiter to the host of night shows in a strip club. Karina’s grandmother, Maria Mikhailovna, had her own version: they say, Vanya dreamed of popularity, and Karina dreamed of women’s happiness, so they ran away. The divorce was finalized after a year and a half; the ex-wife kept the surname Urgant.
“We met Karina in 1998. She got a job with us, I was her boss,” Konstantin Kamenev shared with StarHit. – Karina just recently got divorced, she spoke about the divorce with humor, but I don’t remember the details. She generally has a persistent and tough character. Then I moved from St. Petersburg to Moscow. We have maintained friendly relations with her, I know that she now lives in Germany.
It is also known that Karina remarried and gave birth to a daughter. However, this marriage also broke up. But thanks to a dating site, I found myself a third husband - a wealthy foreigner.
They say that 37-year-old Karina is happy and doesn’t want to think about Urgant.

Apartment for Ninulya
After the divorce, Ivan plunged headlong into creativity. He simultaneously worked at the radio station “Super Radio” and on St. Petersburg television – “Channel Five”. At this time I became interested in Dina Di. She hosted the TV show “50x50”, later worked on “Radio Modern” together with Dmitry Nagiyev, and now lives in London. Singer and composer Maxim Leonidov, who at that time helped Urgant record the album “Star,” told StarHit: “Ivan came to show his songs together with a dark-skinned beauty. As far as I remember, they had a romantic relationship.”0
The romance between Dina and Ivan gradually faded away. Soon he was invited to host the “Bright Morning” program on the MTV channel, and for some time he bounced between the two capitals. An office romance with Tatyana Gevorkyan grew into a civil marriage that lasted three years. Friends say that this union broke up as a result of creative rivalry. Maybe so, but it was at this time that former classmate Natasha Kiknadze appeared in Urgant’s life. They met by chance on one of Ivan’s visits to St. Petersburg, Natasha was married by that time, raising two children, but love knows no barriers...
They secretly got married, and in May 2008 they had a daughter, who was named after Urgant’s grandmother.
“Vanka always called me not grandmother, but Ninulya,” 85-year-old Nina Urgant shared with StarHit. “Sometimes he ran up to me and said: “Ninulya, give me ten!” I want to eat so much.” Then he lived with his mother and stepfather, and their family had very little money. And now Vanya gave me an apartment! It is a ten-minute walk from my wretched, ruined home on Rimsky-Korsakov Street. The house is old, but the renovation is modern and beautiful. It’s a blessing that his life has turned out so well and he can give such a gift!
“Vanya hasn’t changed much over the years of his life in Moscow, for me he remains the same kind and decent guy,” says stepfather Dmitry Ladygin. - And the fact that he fools around all the time is just a pose. He probably uses his sense of humor to protect himself and his loved ones.

Personal life
Almost immediately after school, despite her young age and lack of experience in relationships, Kiknadze married Georgian businessman Teimuraz Kutalia. Today, even Natalya herself cannot say what was more in life with her first husband - love or obedience to her father, who introduced his young daughter to the son of business partner Vakhtang Kutalia. It is important that a few years later the young woman left her husband, not being afraid to be left without his financial support, because she already had two children in her arms - daughter Erica and son Niko.
A decade after the school prom, Natasha met classmate Ivan Urgant on the streets of St. Petersburg. The man has already become famous, managed to marry and divorce Karina Avdeeva, and also live in marriage with TV presenter Tatyana Gevorkyan. And that meeting turned out to be fateful: they realized that these years they had been looking for each other. Perhaps this was influenced by the lack of age difference (Ivan is only a month younger than his wife), because they are the same age, have known each other since childhood, so they have a lot in common.
For some time, Kiknadze and Urgant hid their relationship from the press. Only a couple of years later the public and relatives learned about their marriage. Urgant's loved ones were shocked by this news. Ivan’s relatives were waiting for the wedding, but were sure that Gevorkyan would become the bride. At that time, the TV presenters had been dating for 4 years, and, as others saw, nothing overshadowed this relationship.
Natalya Kiknadze and Ivan Urgant in childhood
In mid-May 2008, Ivan Urgant’s wife gave him a daughter, Nina, who was named after the TV presenter’s beloved grandmother. And in the fall of 2015, little Valeria was born, named after her father’s mother, actress Valeria Kiseleva. Natalya’s eldest daughter, Erica, also lived in the family for a long time, until she left to study in another country. But Niko’s son was brought up in his father’s new family and lives in St. Petersburg. The young man became interested in tennis and in 2014 even participated in the summer championship.
The children share the mother’s position that the family’s personal life should not be advertised. Neither Erica nor Niko go to talk show studios and tell scandalous details from their parents’ personal lives. If Kiknadze’s children came to film the show, it was to the “Evening Urgant” program, hosted by her husband.
Moreover, even when sharing everyday worries with friends on Instagram, Facebook or Twitter, young people try to write simply mom and dad instead of specific names and hashtags.
Ivan Urgant and Natalya Kiknadze are expecting their second child
An addition to the TV presenter's family is expected very soon: https://goo.gl/KaO1gX

Natalia Kiknadze and her husband Ivan Urgant
It is interesting that between the birth of their children, Kiknadze and Urgant managed to hold a wedding ceremony before God, getting married in St. Nicholas Cathedral in St. Petersburg. As a gift for her wedding anniversary, Natalya Avtandilovna Kiknadze received from her husband co-ownership of the restaurant “The Garden”, one of the “tricks” of which is the design of blooming gardens. Kiknadze owns this establishment in half with her husband’s friend Alexander Tsekalo.
Since Natalya Kiknadze, like her star husband, tries to keep her personal life away from the press, all sorts of rumors are spreading around the couple. Information has already appeared many times that Ivan Urgant’s family is on the verge of collapse.
The slightest tension between spouses becomes the reason for such gossip. For example, once rumors that Ivan and Natalya were getting a divorce appeared after their joint appearance at a party at The Garden restaurant, where, according to the paparazzi, they behaved feignedly and tensely.
Natalya Kiknadze and Ivan Urgant with children
The previous time, the “answer” to gossip was the birth of his daughter Valeria, and then on a page on a social network, the TV presenter stated that for him there is no one more dear to his wife and family as a whole. By the way, although Natalya Kiknadze is Urgant’s second wife, it was she who Ivan repeatedly called his only love and only wife.
In April 2020, rumors appeared that Natalya Kiknadze was pregnant with her fifth child. They appeared after the woman and her husband attended the premiere of Valery Todorovsky’s new film “Bolshoi.”
KIKNADZENatalya Avtandilovna
Natalya Avtandilovna Kiknadze, a Russian woman of Georgian origin, is known as the wife of the popular showman Ivan Urgant. The woman does not lead a public lifestyle, so there is not much information about her.
Kiknadze Natalya
Natalya was born in 1978 on March 5 in Leningrad (now St. Petersburg) in the family of a wealthy Georgian jeweler Avtandil Yuryevich Kiknadze and housewife Tatyana Vasilievna. Natasha’s father earned a comfortable living by completing private orders for high-ranking people of the USSR, and the mother was responsible for the entire household and raising three children: Natalya and her brothers, Yuri and David.
The Kiknadze family lived in a prestigious area of the Northern capital, and the children attended an elite gymnasium at the Russian Museum. An interesting fact is that Natasha’s classmate was her future husband, Ivan Urgant, who in adulthood became famous as the host of popular comedy television programs. However, in those distant years there could be no talk of any feelings between Kiknadze and Urgant. The schoolchildren were simply friends, played KVN, and were also active participants in children's and youth activities.
After graduating from school, young Natalya became the wife of Georgian businessman Teimuraz Kutalia. According to Kiknadze herself, she had to submit to the will of her father, who decided to marry his daughter to the son of his business partner. However, it is worth noting that a fire of love nevertheless flared up between the young people, which went out a few years later. Then the young woman was not afraid to leave her husband, despite the fact that by that time she already had two children in her arms.
Natalia's fate was completely changed by a chance street meeting with a former classmate. Ten years after graduating from school, Ivan Urgant was already a celebrity. Behind him was a marriage and divorce with Karina Avdeeva, as well as a relationship with TV presenter Tatyana Gevorkyan. Ivan’s relatives expected his marriage to Tatyana, because the showman had been dating this girl for four years. However, having met Natalya, the man realized that it was her he had been waiting for all these years.
For some time, Natalya and Ivan hid their romance from everyone. Only a few years later they admitted that they had been married a long time ago. This news shocked not only the public and media representatives, but even Urgant’s closest relatives.
In May 2008, the TV presenter’s wife gave him a daughter, Nina. The girl was given this name in honor of Ivan Urgant’s beloved grandmother. In the fall of 2020, Natalya became a mother for the fourth time, giving birth to a daughter, Valeria. The baby was named in honor of Ivan’s mother, Soviet and Russian actress Valeria Kiseleva, who died suddenly eight months before the birth of her youngest granddaughter.
For a long time, Erica, Kiknadze’s daughter from her first marriage, also lived in the family. Then the girl moved to another country to get an education. But Natalya’s son remained to live with his natural father Teimuraz. Niko is seriously involved in tennis and has even taken part in championships.
It is noteworthy that the TV presenter’s wife does not advertise the details of their family life. Natalya also taught her children to do this: they do not visit talk show studios and do not tell any scandalous details on the Internet.
It is worth noting that Kiknadze and Urgant also managed to get married. The couple cemented their relationship before God in St. Nicholas Cathedral in St. Petersburg. And on their wedding anniversary, Ivan gave his wife a gorgeous gift: Natalya became a co-owner of the restaurant “The Garden”. The second owner of the establishment is the popular showman and producer Alexander Tsekalo, with whom Urgant has been working together and being friends for a long time.
Kiknadze and Urgant are already accustomed to the fact that media representatives periodically report on the divorce of the famous couple. The couple made a wise decision: they simply do not react to such rumors. The TV presenter, in his posts on social networks, constantly emphasizes that Natalya is the only and beloved woman of his entire life, and the man considers her children from his first marriage to be his family.
In 2020, rumors arose that the family was expecting a new addition and Natalya was already pregnant with her fifth child. The public came to a similar conclusion after seeing a woman in loose clothes that hid her figure. However, this information was never confirmed.
Natalya Kiknadze does not maintain a page on social networks and prefers not to give interviews. Also, you cannot find photos of women in swimsuits or other provocative outfits on the Internet. Natalia's eldest daughter Erica is not so secretive: the girl lives in the USA and actively covers her life on Instagram.
Kiknadze with her husband Ivan Urgant
Between the career ladder and housekeeping, the woman chose the latter. As a child, the girl showed herself so brightly on the amateur theater stage that the teachers were confident that Natalya would become an actress. Kiknadze also failed to become the successor to her father’s luxury business, who probably himself decided not to teach his daughter the secrets of jewelry craftsmanship, choosing a profitable match for her.
Kiknadze had the opportunity to show her strength in business many years later, when Urgant presented her with a restaurant. The woman was actively involved in promoting this establishment. Thus, in the restaurant “The Garden” Natalya not only took part in the development of the menu, but also had a hand in the interior design and staff recruitment. In addition, in her establishment, Ivan Urgant’s wife often organizes various social events and promotions.
Despite the fact that the woman is fascinated by the restaurant business, she devotes most of her time to caring for her husband and children.
The quarantine in 2020 made its own adjustments to the life of this star family. So, Natalya switched to remote work. While staying at home, the woman helped the children with school homework and online learning.
But Kiknadze’s husband continued to work: the television program “Evening Urgant” did not disappear from TV screens. True, filming began to take place in an empty studio auditorium, and the presenter himself, like other members of the team, had to take a coronavirus test.
Career
Because of the talents Natalya showed on the amateur theater stage, teachers predicted an acting career for her. In the last grade, the girl portrayed the stepmother so talentedly in the production of “Cinderella” that she almost eclipsed the main character. However, due to her personal life, Natalya Kiknadze chose a different path for herself.
Kiknadze also had another opportunity for career growth, because she is the heiress of a famous jeweler and could become the successor to this luxurious business. But even here the woman found herself out of work. Perhaps she simply did not have an inclination for jewelry making, or perhaps her father considered it much more important to secure the support of a partner through the marriage of children than to teach the heiress the tricks of his own trade.
The woman was able to prove herself in business much later, when she received The Garden restaurant as a gift from her second husband. Natalya is promoting this establishment, and also organizes promotions and social events there.
As a manager, Natalya personally participated in the development of the menu, and hired an experienced sommelier to create the wine list. The design of the establishment is also very popular - even in winter frosts the premises are decorated with fresh flowers in tall vases.
Natalia Kiknadze and Ivan Urgant
Today, even though Natalya has taken over the restaurant, Kiknadze’s main job remains maintaining the family hearth. A woman maintains comfort in the house, takes care of her husband and raises children.
Kiknadze also often appears at cultural and social events, often accompanied by her husband. These appearances of a married couple attract the attention of journalists, since usually spouses prefer to hide the details of family life.
Natalya also attracts the attention of journalists from fashion publications, who like to analyze her new images in detail, often with negative assessments. Journalists and stylists do not know the exact height and weight of the woman, but critics agree that the clothes Kiknadze chose for going out do not flatter her figure.
The same thing happened at the end of 2020, during her presence at a charity dinner organized by the Friends Foundation. Ivan Urgant is the chairman of its board of trustees. After this evening, everyone was discussing not the man’s speech, but Kiknadze’s tired appearance and inappropriate outfit in the form of a floor-length dress and a coat of the same length, hiding his figure.
And if some simply do not like the outfit chosen by the woman for such an event, then others have once again begun to suspect Kiknadze of being pregnant again - allegedly, Urgant’s wife is thus hiding this fact from prying eyes. By the way, she has long been accustomed to press discussions and does not react to them in any way.
Natalia Kiknadze now
Due to quarantine, since the beginning of 2020, Kiknadze began to appear less often at public events with her husband, and tries to do all her work remotely. This fact allowed the woman to spend more time with her children, help them with online lessons and simply communicate.
Meanwhile, Natalya’s husband continued to work: the “Evening Urgant” program all this time was broadcast as usual, with the exception of one thing - now the auditorium in the studio is empty, except for the “Fruits” group, the presenter, the guest and the film crew, there is no one there. At the same time, the entire film crew, including Urgant, was required to take a coronavirus test.

Wedding
Lovers Ivan and Natalya met secretly. Neither their parents nor the press knew about their relationship for two years. When Ivan proposed to his beloved, she, without hesitation, packed her things and moved to Moscow. The media suggests that the couple did not have an official wedding, but it is possible that they did it in secret from everyone.
Despite the fact that Ivan lived in an official marriage with Karina Avdeeva and in a civil marriage with Natalya Kiknadze, he calls his first and only wife.
As the famous showman's relatives say, his message that he was getting married shocked everyone. They hoped that there would be a wedding, but in the role of the bride they expected to see the TV presenter of the MTV channel Tatyana Gevorkyan, since they knew that Vanya had been living with her for almost five years. They were informed that he was dating his former classmate Natasha just before the wedding. No one knows how the family reacted to this news, whether they were against Ivan’s choice or not. Now Urgant’s wife Natalya Kiknadze is their favorite daughter-in-law. Besides, she is the mother of his child.
On May 15, 2008, she gave birth to their first child together, daughter Nina. The girl was named after the TV presenter’s beloved grandmother. No one will argue with the fact that the mother of many children is Natalya Kiknadze. Children and family are her meaning in life. Together with Ivan, she is raising three daughters.
Biography of Natalia Kiknadze
Natalya was born on March 5, 1978 in Leningrad. Her father was a successful jeweler making custom orders for the most senior officials in the Soviet Union. The family lived a prosperous life; Natalya’s mother did not work, as she was busy raising three children. In addition to Natasha, Kiknadze had two sons, now both of them have become doctors.
Natalya studied at an elite school at the Russian Museum in the same class with Ivan Urgant. The children were friends, together they took an active part in school amateur performances, played in KVN and participated in amateur theater productions. The teachers predicted a great future for the girl in the theater field; some of her roles in school productions amazed her with the professionalism and quality of her acting, but Natalya’s personal life forced her to choose a different path.

She will come up with something special for Him today to congratulate her husband on his 36th birthday...
He will again call her “my superman” and will probably hear in response some joke “in his style” (after all, they have a similar sense of humor)…
They don't fall under the umbrella of a "classic high school" romance. Their story took off only many years later, when both had serious experience of family life behind them...
She…
Natalya was born on March 5, 1978 in the family of the famous St. Petersburg jeweler Avtandil Kiknadze. As in many Georgian families, noisy feasts were common - friends often gathered in their spacious apartment on Griboyedov Embankment. Natalya has two brothers - David and Yuri.
Of course, the parents wanted to give their daughter a good education, therefore, as soon as the opportunity arose - and this happened right after elementary school - they transferred Natalya to a prestigious gymnasium at the State Russian Museum in St. Petersburg, where He was among his classmates...
He…
To say that Ivan’s was famous means to remain silent. Ivan is a third generation actor: his grandmother Nina Urgant and grandfather Lev Milinder are famous film and theater actors, his parents, Andrei Urgant and Valeria Kiseleva , are also servants of Melpomene. Even the stepfather, with whom the mother of the future showman connected her life after breaking up with Andrei (they were never officially married), Dmitry Ladygin, was an actor. Accordingly, from a young age the young man clearly understood what show business was like and how it worked.
Ivan was born in St. Petersburg (although no, sorry, at that time - 1978 - it was still Leningrad). He graduated from the Children's Music School (in fact, music was always close to him, so he did not give up this activity and now periodically amazes everyone around with his ability to play the guitar perfectly), entered the gymnasium at the State Russian Museum and calmly studied there, pointedly ignoring the school uniform and literally basking in increased attention from the “weaker” sex.
He always had a keen sense of humor and was always the life of the party. But in the fifth grade he had a worthy competitor in this difficult task. And this competitor - or rather competitor - turned out to be She...
They…
Former teachers unanimously celebrate this couple - Natalya and Ivan... But separately. Ivan was a merry fellow, a joker. People were drawn to him, his classmates sighed languidly. But despite all this, he did not let anyone get too close to him.
Natalya was a bright, beautiful, but very modest girl. However, she easily retorted to jokes and sometimes quite sharply. And her acting abilities became a real surprise for friends and acquaintances when the girl had the chance to play the role of an evil stepmother in a school production of the fairy tale “Cinderella” (by the way, it was Ivan who played the prince in it).
There was no romance between them at school. They were more like just good friends. And after school, fate took both of them in different directions. Natalya got married and became the mother of two children.
Ivan... Ivan also got married. He was 18 years old at that time, and his chosen one, Karina Avdeeva, was 22. The parents were not delighted with their son’s decision, but the marriage was registered, and the young couple lived together... for six months.
Then a new stage began in his life - the conquest of Moscow, work on television, and with it numerous novels, which the press gladly attributed to the charming MTV presenter. One of the most notable and discussed was his relationship with his colleague Tatyana Gevorkyan . But Ivan never allowed himself any official versions/proposals/discussions/confessions.
In general, he always tried to keep his private life away from prying eyes, and a sense of humor and the ability to gracefully laugh it off were a real salvation for him in this matter.
They met in St. Petersburg by chance - many years after graduation. Sitting in a cafe, talking about life... And suddenly everything fell into place - both realized that they had been waiting for this meeting all their lives. Natalya divorced her husband (by that time it had long been obvious to her that family life had cracked) and moved to Ivan in Moscow.
There was no lavish wedding “fixed”. Moreover, they say that their relationship has not yet been officially registered, but... The care with which Ivan and Natalya protect their private life from prying eyes gives reason to doubt this.
A year later, there was an addition to their family - Natalya and Ivan became the parents of baby Nina, who was named after Ivan’s grandmother.
Thoughts out loud... “I’m married. The first and last time,” Ivan said in an interview, deviating from his rules regarding public conversations of a “personal nature.” I think this is a fairly clear “point” for all those who are curious - both readers and journalists.
