Joseph Prigogine: “It is unethical for us to approach Liana or Arseny and ask about pregnancy”
— Joseph, a week has passed since the wedding, and numerous discussions on the Internet still do not subside. What personally still evokes the most emotion for you?
“I feel proud of our son.” He had a principled position to organize the wedding himself, although according to my traditions, and I grew up in Makhachkala, parents usually arrange weddings for children. From the age of 16, when he decided to live independently with a girl and rent an apartment, I immediately had the following attitude: if you want to live with a girl, you will support her yourself. Five years passed and he became independent. And what struck us on the spot was the huge number of Arseny’s friends who didn’t drink anything. I now meet guys and girls - they don’t drink at all, don’t smoke and lead an absolutely healthy lifestyle. They are determined exclusively to win: they earn money, they have other interests and do not have bad habits. Valeria instilled in our children a healthy lifestyle. Of the six children, none smoke or drink. I didn’t see, in my opinion, Anka also didn’t even try a glass of wine. My eldest son did not try to drink alcohol or smoke. They all live on a different wavelength. We didn't see a single drunk guy at the wedding, although there was a fair amount of alcohol there. 80 percent remained untouched. If anyone drank, it was only adults. There was not a single person who was taken out of the wedding.
— So, everything didn’t go like in the movie “Bitter”?
- No. It was a beautiful wedding, everything was organized correctly. And the artists who performed are our friends, people who treat our family with great respect. They were simply our guests. Accordingly, it was such a creative gift on our part. And the holiday itself was magnificent. In Hollywood terms, I would give him an A+ for this event. The whole hall was so permeated with an atmosphere of sincerity and love. Our boy is a pure guy, a man who was brought up on classical music and is now successful in business. Well, what else can I say. He has an office in Moscow City, he lives there himself, and he has good company. Now he went on a honeymoon, which he organized himself, and did not take a single cent from me. He would be offended by me for treating him so harshly, because I had quite serious conversations with him. I reacted harshly to the situation when he left classical music at one time. It hurt me; we had disagreements. But I told him: if you want to lead life as you see fit, you must be responsible for it yourself. And he passed this test of life. In fact, I sent him for testing. Can you imagine how hard it was for his mother and how proud she was to see her boy now? I swear we forced him to take money to pay the waiters at the wedding. When he found out that I had gone somewhere to pay, he ran after me like a chicken when they want to catch it. So that I myself don’t pay a penny.
— Joseph, what can you say about Liana’s parents? Do you know each other at all?
- Yes, we met before the wedding. And they were together at the wedding. I don’t know what they do. Honestly: why should I bother? If they want, they will tell you. He married their daughter, and these are now his second parents, and we are Liana’s second parents. “The son is marrying your girl. Tell us what you do? How much money do you have? - Well, this is unethical. We have already moved away from these stereotypes and live by slightly different concepts. Our children force us to live by different rules.
— Today they are also discussing photographs of gifts that Liana posted. What did they give to the young people in the end?
— There were a lot of gifts. The money, of course, gave me beautiful Rolex watches and dishes. Listen, we are surrounded by worthy people. His friends are wealthy. Looking at his friends, I understand that we have hope for the future.

— As often happens on the Internet, there were some haters. Some subscribers believe that the wedding allegedly took place because of Liana’s pregnancy and are actively spreading rumors. Well, you probably know if this is true...
- I'll say this. It would be stupid of me to ask them the question: “When will there be children? When will there be grandchildren? When will you give us an egg and chicken?” We once asked similar questions to our middle son, he said: “Mom, dad, that’s enough... When it happens, you will know about it”... Well, why would I ask them? I believe that as it will be, so it will be. I hope we'll be the first to know. Maybe this is true, but we don't know anything about it. We didn’t see Liana’s belly. In addition, it is unethical for us to approach Liana or Arseny and ask about pregnancy. Why would I put them in an idiotic position?
You see, sometimes the news runs ahead of us. We learn much more about ourselves than we know about ourselves. So much different information! An article recently came out that I beat Galkin... I haven’t seen him for a year during the pandemic. How can I beat a person I haven't seen? And most importantly, for what? Maxim Galkin is a very good person whom our family loves and respects. Allegedly he beat him because he kissed Valeria. Well, we all kiss here (laughs). I personally am immune to all kinds of dirt. The only thing that can really offend me is when newlyweds are offended if some nasty things are written about them. You can’t spread lies, they fly apart quickly. While the truth is putting on its pants, lies have time to fly around the world.
— If it turns out that Liana is expecting a child, how will you react?
- If this is so, we will not be against it. We'll even be happy. But we don’t have such information.
Joseph Prigogine gave Valeria a trip to Iceland

Last week the couple celebrated their 15th marriage anniversary. The celebration turned out to be somewhat spontaneous and coincided with the birthdays of two of their friends. The guests gathered in a country house near Moscow on the terrace, where they made toasts in honor of the crystal wedding of Valeria and Joseph.
“We didn’t plan to celebrate widely,” Prigozhin shared with StarHit. “I wanted to do this in the company of those closest to me.” The children congratulated us in the morning, and in the evening we had a rather modest gathering. As for gifts, Lera and I are not particularly interested in material things right now, so we discussed it and decided that what would please both of us the most was a trip to some unusual place. We have long dreamed of visiting Iceland. Therefore, they bought a trip as a present for each other. We’ll go together in July for a week and relax.”

Those gathered were treated to champagne, cold and hot appetizers, seafood, and fruit. Celebrity lawyer Anatoly Kucherena and his wife, producer Alexander Mitroshenkov, and Nikolai Baskov came to congratulate.
“Valeria and Joseph are people for whom everything worked out,” Nikolai shared with StarHit. “I really love their couple, incredibly harmonious, about whom you can say “two halves of one whole.” And in our age it is very rare to live in marriage for so many years. This is both a lot of work on relationships and life experience. After all, the guys met already in adulthood. May they remain for many years the way I saw them at the holiday. So that those feelings, love and relationships, an aura of warmth will always be with them.”

Let us remember that the couple met in 2004 and got married a year later. Joseph accepted the singer’s three children from her first marriage and raised them as his own. Unlike Valeria's first husband, Alexander Shulgin, who beat her and her children, Joseph is particularly tender and caring.
In the first months after the divorce, Valeria did not know how to live further - she even left for her hometown of Atkarsk and was thinking about ending her musical career. The singer admitted that Shulgin could have tried to get in touch if she had been next to another man. However, Joseph Prigogine fenced Valeria off from any worries and unnecessary attention from her ex-husband.

"Sleeping Beauty. While I was falling asleep, I decided to take advantage of the moment,” he said and boasted: “My girl is in great shape.” Valeria was sunbathing right on the pebbles. Since she does yoga, she may have been comfortable lying on small pebbles. Some fans of Valeria did not believe that you could sleep on pebbles.
Regarding the figure of 52-year-old Valeria, followers remarked: “Cool! I’m telling you honestly... I almost looked at it under a microscope... Valeria looks great. Pure white female envy”, “I would say - in ideal form.” Let us remember that Valeria is the mother of three children.

Prigozhin told how he and Valeria got twins
The mystery of the “plastic twins” has finally been revealed. Producer Joseph Prigozhin shed light on the photographs that have haunted followers of his Instagram page for several days.
Let us remind you that Valeria and Joseph Prigogine, with an interval of several hours, published photographs with small children - the producer was holding twin boys in his arms, and Valeria was photographed with them in the elevator when she was taking the babies in a tandem stroller for a walk.
Valeria, of course, has not yet turned fifty years old, but even at that age there is almost certainly no talk of pregnancy. Therefore, fans began to speculate that the couple could use the services of a surrogate mother - following the example of many of their colleagues.
“Children of Children” by Joseph Prigogine is surprisingly similar to him
However, in an interview, Prigozhin said that although the children are relatives of him and Valeria, they are still not their own children or even grandchildren. In reality, they are “children’s children.” Joseph Prigogine explained that the kids were born into a family of distant relatives, and they are so similar to him because of strong family genes.
The twins really look like me. I was also born in the Caucasus. These are children, one might say, from the Caucasus, but were born in Moscow. They are not strangers to us. It's true that they look like me. Relatives are all similar to each other.
The editors of uznayvsyo.rf remind you that many Russian stars have recently used the services of surrogate mothers. For example, the day before the birth of his son was confirmed by musician Dmitry Malikov - his son from a surrogate mother was born in a prestigious and expensive clinic in St. Petersburg.
Love story: Valeria and Joseph Prigogine
Last year, singer Valeria and the producer celebrated their tin wedding - they have been married for ten years. For media personalities, whose entire lives pass under the gaze of thousands of people, this is a significant reason for pride. And the couple’s happiness is well deserved, since the path to it was not easy.
Valeria and Joseph Prigogine
Preamble to happiness
Joseph Prigogine has always been a talented entrepreneur. The ability to understand people well brought success in business, because in order to see and reveal the potential in a performer, you need to combine intuition and pragmatism. But in life these skills did not particularly help Joseph: he had two marriages behind him. The producer legalized his relationship with his first wife Elena when he was only 19 years old, they had two children. Prigozhin’s second marriage was unofficial, but quite long, and it also produced a child.
Valeria gained popularity in the 90s, at which time many new stars appeared on the horizon of domestic show business. The singer’s producer was her husband, Alexander Shulgin, with whom three children were born: sons Artem and Arseny and daughter Anna. No one suspected that behind the external well-being and success there was hidden a difficult family drama with beatings and humiliation. The ten-year marriage ended in a high-profile divorce at the beginning of the 2000s, leaving Valeria in an extremely difficult situation: without housing, without work, but with children, the youngest of whom was only 4 years old at that time.
Love at first sight
Overwhelmed by these concerns, Valeria went to a meeting with Joseph, who offered her his services as a producer. This business meeting turned Prigozhin’s life upside down in an instant. He loves to remember this moment: “I fell in love with Valeria at first sight. All my vessels, all my veins, all the cells of my body have acquired some other form.” Of course, Joseph and Valeria had heard about each other before, but he seemed older than his years to her, and she, in turn, seemed to him a cold, unapproachable rock.
Joseph Prigogine fell in love with Valeria at first sight
In general, Prigogine was not far from the truth. In April 2003, he signed a contract with the singer, and they began working on recording a new album. Together they spent almost 24 hours a day in each other's company. Joseph showed the most touching care for his ward: he made sure that she had time to have lunch, that she did not need anything, and even that she stopped driving for safety reasons. At the same time, all of Prigozhin’s attempts to bring romance into the working relationship were nipped in the bud by Valeria; the memories of what all this could lead to were still too painful.
But Joseph was not going to give up. One day, while accompanying Valeria to the station, from where she wanted to go to Atkarsk to see her mother and children, he suddenly offered to take her there by car, not knowing that it was almost a thousand kilometers away. But the trip played a role in the development of the couple’s relationship. Kilometers of roads, hours of conversations, a meeting with Valeria’s relatives, who warmly received Prigozhin - all this forced the singer to take a fresh look at her companion. “Don’t be afraid to be happy, don’t be afraid to open your heart, don’t be afraid to fall in love with a beauty, even if you yourself are not handsome,” says Prigogine. This wave of love, attention and care forced Valeria to succumb to the power of feelings. “When I realized that I loved this man, that everything was serious with us, that he was ready to accept my whole life, not only me, but also my children, and in general accept everything that was dear to me, somehow I internally went to meet him halfway.” ", the singer recalls.
"I married the queen"
A year later, on June 5, 2004, in the Kutuzovsky department of the registry office of Moscow, the star couple sealed their union by marriage. It was a big holiday in the lives of Valeria and Joseph, since before that none of them had had a big real wedding. This day had everything: a white dress, a sea of flowers, congratulations from eminent guests. The host of the evening was Garik Martirosyan, who in those years was not yet so popular. “The greatest happiness is when there is such an opportunity to experience what we experienced,” says Joseph Prigogine. “Every person should have a wedding in his life, every man should have a bride, every bride should have a groom.”

Family life is a difficult daily work. But it seems that the Prigozhins are coping well. They are used to devoting all their free time to children, because family is always a priority for them. It is not surprising that Joseph became more than a father to them, he became a friend. Now the children are grown up. The singer’s eldest son is studying abroad, and the youngest son and daughter Anna live in Moscow, following in the footsteps of their talented mother and often attend social events with her. Self-care also takes a lot of time, because one of the singer’s beauty secrets is healthy eating coupled with regular physical activity. Valeria is a long-time fan of yoga, she even tries to introduce her husband to the classes. Not long ago, she posted a photo of a joint workout on Instagram with a humorous caption: “Hurray! Yosya returned to his sports regime, even began to do yoga with me (sorry, I didn’t take a photo).”

According to the couple, over the years of marriage their feelings have not faded at all. And if at first after the wedding, spiteful critics still suspected that it was just a PR stunt, now there is no longer any doubt about the sincerity of the couple. “Today is exactly ten years since we got married,” Joseph shared in his microblog on June 5, 2014. - How quickly time flies and how long we have been together! I thank God for such a turn of my fate!!! Loving and being loved is the main happiness of a person on earth.”
