Alla Dovlatova: my eldest daughter pushed me to have a fourth child. Alla Dovlatova: biography, personal life, family, husband, children, pregnancy - photo When Dovlatova gives birth



- If you ask me whether this pregnancy was planned, I will answer you: no. It always seemed to me: when a woman is already over forty and has three wonderful children whom she loves very much, she will want to give birth to a fourth if, for example, she gets married a second time. I can understand this: love, passion and the desire for the family to have a common child... My situation is different. Alexey is my second husband, but he and I have a daughter, Alexandra, and we did not plan to have another baby. The only person who started a conversation on this topic was my eldest daughter, Dasha. Out of nowhere in the summer he suddenly says: “Mom, you love children so much, it would be nice if you had another one. Otherwise, we will all grow up soon, move away, and you will be lonely without your little one. Who will you keep an eye on, who will you take care of?” Maybe Dasha had a presentiment of something, of course. When I told her in the fall that I was pregnant, she was so happy - she jumped up to the ceiling.

At the same time, my pregnancy may be unplanned, but it is far from accidental. Now there is a new stage in my life, and it began with the fact that I returned to my beloved “Russian Radio”. The first time I went there was in 2002, and for me this radio station turned out to be the best on earth. You may not believe me, but every day I ran to work as if it were a holiday. By the way, there was another funny feature there: people who had been unable to have children for years, when they got a job there, immediately went on maternity leave. I gave birth to both my son Pashka and my youngest (for now youngest) daughter, Sasha, while working at Russian Radio. Apparently, everyone there was so cool, so comfortable, we were surrounded by such wonderful people, that all problems, including health problems, were resolved on their own.

Several years ago the management of the radio station changed, and I had to leave. Then I didn’t attach much importance to this circumstance - just think, I’ll find another place, it’s an everyday matter. I got a job at a large radio station, started broadcasting, and at first everything seemed normal: some achievements, good people around. But the further I went, the more I realized that my soul was not in this work. I felt so good at Russian Radio, I was so used to the comfort and harmony that reigned all around that I didn’t even think that somewhere it could be different: we had to fight, resolve conflicts, get involved in intrigues. The first time I encountered this, I thought: “God, what a bad place, what terrible people here!” I quit. But in a new place it all started all over again: intrigue, the struggle for survival. And I realized that the only company where I would be comfortable is my Russian Radio. When I returned, I realized that I was happy again. You know, they say that when a woman falls in love, something subtly changes in her face, in her gaze. So, during that period they began to write to me: “Did you fall in love by chance? Something is burning in your eyes!” And I fell in love with work again. It happens. And somehow the stars rose in such a way that it was at that moment that I realized that I was waiting for an addition.

- Is it true that Philip Kirkorov introduced you to your husband Alexey?

And so it was. Lesha, my future husband, knew Philip and once heard him on my air. One day Philip calls me and says: “There’s a guy here who’s pining for you, thinking about how to hook up with you. He found out that we know each other and asks for help. He’s good, he works in the police!” For some reason, the idea of ​​bringing us together was firmly lodged in Kirkorov’s brain. And he is a passionate person: if he decides to do something, he will definitely do it. I began to be indignant, because at that moment I was still married, and then I gave up. “Let him,” I answer, “come to my performance.” Lesha came to my dressing room with a basket of roses, and at first sight some kind of chemistry arose between us, which we could not resist. Philip, by the way, is still very proud that we have a family. “You see,” he says, “I feel who I should connect with whom, it’s not just like that.”

- How did your children, Dasha and Pavel, perceive Alexei’s appearance in the house?

The son was very tiny at that time, he was barely two years old. And since his dad and I lived in different cities for a long time and saw each other extremely rarely, Alexey, in fact, was the first man who began to communicate with him. Pasha didn’t know his dad at all and accepted Lesha with a bang - he immediately shared all his toys with him. But with Dasha it was more difficult. She was seven then, a difficult age, and her character had always been hy-ho, and then there were such shocks. Unlike Pasha, she communicated with dad a lot and, of course, took Lesha with hostility. It got to the point where we resorted to the help of a psychologist. But then everything got better.

- How did they react to their new sister Sasha?

Well, there was no trace of any negativity here: everyone was very interested in the birth of a new person, they were delighted. Actually, the same thing is happening now: all the children are delighted in a single impulse and are looking forward to talking with the baby. Pasha, by the way, dreamed of a sister from the very beginning. It would seem that he already has two sisters, but no, it’s not enough for him. “Pasha,” I say, “or maybe brother?” - “What’s the point? - answers. “He will still be small, I won’t play with him.” And the appearance of another sister in the house will mean that Pasha retained his own exclusivity, remained the only son in the family, a kind of star. The girls, of course, wanted a little brother, both of them. When the doctors announced that it would be a girl, the daughters sank a little, and Pasha was happy and said: “Very good, I like that I’m the only one like you.”

- He is a sportsman?

Hockey player. He plays for Krylya Sovetov - they have their own youth team. Whether he will become a professional player is still unclear, everything is so unpredictable! My father, who headed the St. Petersburg Hockey Federation for about 20 years and understands this issue like no one else, says: “There are almost 100 participants in the youth group. And if they play seriously, two or three people from this entire huge team will get into the team of masters. These are the statistics." But we don’t view training only as an elevator that can take a boy to the Major Leagues. What shapes hockey in a child? First of all, responsibility. Because when you run or swim, your result is only yours, and the defeat is only yours. And hockey is a team game: if you don’t give your best, then your comrades will come up to you and ask why you let them down. This is where conscience and responsibility to the team come into play: why did someone else work and you didn’t? And how will you look a person in the eyes? This approach creates positive traits that any man - not necessarily an athlete - should have. To be a good dad, a good husband, you also need to have them. It's very sad, but many modern men have no responsibility. They cannot take responsibility for the woman they love, for their own children. In my opinion, these are no longer men. But I want to raise my son to be a real guy.

In addition, hockey is an excellent physical form and a man's figure. All my life, when I was still single, I liked hockey players, I dreamed of someday marrying one of them. I am a person who sees beauty in everything, including in people. And hockey means good height, a powerful shoulder girdle, a strong back, chest muscles, legs, those round nutty butts. They are athletes. Those same luxurious ancient Greek figures that it was a pity to dress - they are so perfect. Imagine what a handsome man the boy will grow up to be! Mothers usually don’t talk about their sons in this way, but I’m already thinking how lucky some girl will be who gets my handsome boy. And at the same time, hockey players are not selfish or narcissistic stars, because they play in a team and are used to everyone fighting together for the result.

Well, the most important thing, probably, is the brain. After all, hockey is a very fast and fast sport, there are a lot of tactics. The famous hockey player Vladislav Tretyak recalled how they were coached by Anatoly Vladimirovich Tarasov, who created our legendary team many years ago, which included, in addition to Tretyak, Anatoly Firsov, Valery Kharlamov and our other famous athletes. He said that hockey players were at training camps for 11 months a year, training for ten hours every day, but also sitting at their desks for five hours a day. Yes, yes, they, already grown men, world champions, were taught like schoolchildren. Teachers from universities taught them physics, mathematics, history - they developed their brains. Tarasov said: “We won’t be able to defeat the Canadians if we play their hockey - speed, power.” And then he invented his own game - a smart one. Now we still have his legacy. In general, I think there is nothing better than hockey for a boy.

- Do you take the development of girls just as seriously?


Alla's eldest daughter - Daria

Dasha has one goal this year: pass exams and enter a university. Yes, we succeed in everything at once: the Unified State Examination, childbirth, and admission to college. It will be a fun time. Everything is very tense right now, but I hope that in the summer we will all be happy, joyful and able to breathe out. Dasha is a humanist, she likes to write, and I persuade her to go to the journalism department, since journalism is a good profession, I understand how to advance here, how to study. Dasha did an internship in the summer at our radio station, in the PR department, and she was told that she could apply at any time, during the holidays, for example, - there would always be work for her, and there was something to learn from our guys. But for now, in my opinion, Dasha perceives journalism as an alternate airfield, and dreams of going into directing. Just the thought of entering this faculty and studying there makes me want to shoot myself. But my daughter does not want to deviate from her chosen path. Let's see what comes of this. But that’s all later, the main thing is to pass the Unified State Exam, this terrible exam. I believe that this system is a real blow to us, humanists. Having removed oral exams, teachers no longer teach children public speaking. But in humanitarian universities, a person’s assessment often depends on how he speaks. And in life there are many situations when competent speech gives a person serious advantages over others. But at school they don’t pay attention to this now. It's a pity.

The youngest daughter, Sasha, is in 3rd grade and studies at the Children's Musical Theater for Young Actors. This theater, which prepares children to perform in big, serious musicals, was opened 28 years ago. Its most famous graduate is Kolya Baskov. From there came Natalya Gromushkina, Valeria Lanskaya and many other popular artists - both dramatic and pop. Sasha sings and dances there - her musical abilities are great. But here the situation is the same as with my son with hockey: it is not clear what will happen in the end. In sports, even if there are no injuries, a child opens up by the age of fourteen or fifteen, and some unpleasant accidents can completely put an end to a career at any moment. It’s the same in music: it happens that at an early age children amaze with stunning voices. But then a mutation begins in boys - and that’s it, big hello. Girls' voices also change - not so sharply and pronouncedly, but problems can still arise. Sometimes, as in the case of Kolya Baskov, everything goes smoothly: he sang incredibly as a child, and continued to do so. We watched recordings of Kolya’s performances in this theater at the age of 10-11. He was a leader on all fronts and remains so. My daughter, unfortunately, does not want to go on stage yet, although it seems to me that she has all the abilities for this. But she still has everything ahead.

- How do you manage to distribute time and energy so that you have enough for both children and work?

Experience. I have been a mother for almost 18 years and have not stopped working all this time. She always broadcast until the last day of pregnancy; she was not on maternity leave. But it’s hard to give advice here; there is no single formula for success: everyone’s health is different, the body works differently. I think that I was just very lucky: pregnancy always goes easily, without toxicosis and other serious problems, and I recover quickly. And my nature never allowed me to be bored at home. At first, my grandmother looked after Dasha, then we found a nanny and gradually adapted to this regime. At some point, there were more nannies, now they work on a rotational basis, and I try to take care of the children as best I can. The most important thing is to have a reliable person to whom you can entrust your children, so that the children treat him well, so that you are calm. And it's not easy to do, let me tell you. I went through different nannies. There were nannies who drank, there were nannies who were planning a robbery...

Yes, we had a story. She seems to be a good nanny, no complaints. And suddenly she says: “I won’t come tomorrow - my throat hurts, I’m afraid of infecting the children.” And the day before, one set of keys went missing somewhere. We also had a second nanny, who at that moment lived in the apartment. And so she goes for a walk with all three children, but 15 minutes later she returns (either the weather was bad, or they forgot something), and the door is wide open. Of course, it was horror, she, poor thing, went through a lot of fear: after all, she had three children on her, a responsibility. There was chaos in the apartment, someone had obviously just been in it, but apparently they scared them away: they didn’t even have time to close the door. I’m happy that it all ended well, I’m afraid to even think about what could have happened. And that second nanny goes to work the next day as if nothing had happened. She just forgot that my husband is a policeman. He says: “I have a suspicion that this lady is involved in the story, we need to make sure that her phone remains at home, and she leaves - I’ll check her for lice.” I sent her to the store to buy something urgently, but didn’t give her the phone number: they say, if you run away quickly, no one will call. My husband took the device, clicked through it all, found the boyfriend’s number in the contacts, ran it through the database, checked it, and it turned out that he was hovering near our house at the very time when they tried to rob us. Well, we had to express all our complaints to her and fire her right there.

But such cases, thank God, are still rare; we are mostly lucky with nannies. And she manages to successfully combine her work schedule with raising children.


- No matter how busy your life was, you nevertheless decided on a fourth child. Moreover, at a fairly advanced age - after 40 years. Our doctors love to call expectant mothers who are over 25 years old the terrible term “old-time mother.” Have you heard such words addressed to you?

In my case, the situation turned out to be twofold. Basically, I was lucky enough to communicate with doctors who perceived my situation extremely positively, they said that everything was fine with me and that they had never seen such good tests even in 25-year-olds. I was especially pleased with the reaction of Mark Arkadyevich Kurtser, one of the most famous Moscow gynecologists, with whom I gave birth to Sasha and to whom I will go again without hesitation. This experienced, intelligent and delicate person, upon learning that I was expecting a child, immediately said: “Oh, that’s great! Everything will be fine!" And I was calm. But sometimes there was a different attitude. Some still tried to play it safe, sending me for insanely expensive and complex tests, which were also associated with a risk for me and the fetus. When I asked: “Why? After all, all my tests are perfect, and only those whose indicators are not in order are referred for this test,” they answered me: “We didn’t recommend it before either, but now that one famous actress gave birth to a not entirely healthy child, we are afraid just in case please pass the case." I don't understand this attitude.

I know that in our society it is not customary to be happy for a woman who has decided to have a fourth, fifth or sixth child. It is also common to be wary of the idea of ​​giving birth after forty. But I’m lucky - both at work and in life, I communicate exclusively with well-mannered and sensitive people, and so far I have not heard anything like this addressed to me. There were no blank looks or condemnation. On the contrary, everyone who is aware perceives the changes in me very positively. 40 years is just a number on your passport. And there is also such an important concept as “biological age”. If a person is young in soul and body, what prevents him from having a child?


- How do you keep fit now?

I definitely do yoga every day. My coach, Oksana, appeared in my life while I was pregnant with Sasha. She then helped me recover quickly after childbirth: in just a month and a half I regained my previous figure and my former vigor. We do different types of yoga, but Oksana specializes in exercises for pregnant women. I also do water aerobics - also a good exercise for pregnant women. In general, when I was pregnant, I always looked after my health. With Dasha I just swam, with Pavel I did water aerobics, and with Sasha I added yoga. Such classes help a lot. Although, of course, I am an experienced person and understand perfectly well what awaits me. The last trimester will soon come with all its “delights”: a huge belly, shortness of breath. But yoga allows you to stay fit. Nutritionist Margarita Koroleva also helps me a lot. I came to her about three years ago, and she solved all my weight problems and taught me how to eat correctly. We meet periodically, she comes to Russian Radio and, in addition to performing well on air, she also corrects my diet along the way. “Come on, come on,” he says, “don’t let yourself go, hold on.”

My friend, designer Sophie, also supports me. She thought through my entire “pregnant” wardrobe so competently that, as a result, those people from whom I wanted to hide my situation never guessed anything.


- It’s clear that you are an experienced mother: from the first days you surrounded yourself with the necessary people.

And I am very grateful to them. But by the way, they are not the only ones who support me - I inspire them too. Margarita Koroleva is preparing to release a line of special food for pregnant women. My trainer Oksana started a series of seminars for expectant mothers on managing pregnancy and preparing for childbirth. I see that Sophie’s website is already starting to have models for expectant mothers. And I'm glad that this is happening. After all, pregnancy is an amazingly beautiful and happy state. For some reason, many women feel embarrassed about themselves during this period, they think that it is unaesthetic, and that it will have a bad effect on their career if their boss suddenly reveals a big belly ahead of time. My own experience is that these are pure prejudices. If you eat right and give yourself the necessary exercise, everything will be fine. Yes, of course, it's not easy. Any woman who has a child knows how difficult it is during this period to control herself, not to let herself get eaten up, not to say to herself: “Pregnant women have to eat for two, so I will under no circumstances deny myself pies and buns.” . But there is nothing to do, we have to. And by the way, since I am prone to being overweight, I am already so accustomed to controlling my diet in everyday life that it does not cause me discomfort.

The pregnant woman is amazingly beautiful. Well, the belly is big - so what? Then he will become small again. My Sophie, when she draws dresses for me, always says: “Just work out properly so that your legs are good, then you can put on heels.” Yes, heels are not the most suitable shoes for an expectant mother, but if I have some kind of evening event or shooting, I can easily stand two or three hours in shoes with stable low heels. There are no contraindications here. I urge all women who are expecting a child to move more and forget about all superstitions. Pregnancy is not a disease, but a normal life. Many years ago, our great-great-grandmothers gave birth, as they say, in the furrow, and while they were carrying children, no one relieved them of housekeeping responsibilities. Everything is in the field, no one cares what term you have. Of course, in the 21st century, I do not encourage anyone who is seven months pregnant to harness the plow and plow. But lying on the couch for the entire period if you don’t have any medical indications for this is also strange. Live, enjoy, be active, beautiful and cheerful. And in this case, it doesn’t matter whether you are forty or twenty years old: this will be the best time of your life!

The stellar baby boom is gaining momentum! Following Irina Shayk and Anna Sedokova, Alla Dovlatova gave birth to her fourth child. Shortly before her 43rd birthday, the television and radio presenter and her husband, police lieutenant colonel Alexei Boroda, became the parents of a daughter.

According to the press service of Russian Radio, the baby was born on April 13. Her height at birth was 50 centimeters, weight - 3.2 kilograms.

We congratulate Alla on this wonderful event! The birth of a baby is a great happiness for each of us! With her birth, the world around her became even more beautiful and kinder, because this is exactly what Alla herself is - incredibly kind and very beautiful! We wish mother and daughter good health, many smiles around, love, warmth and care!

This is stated in the message of Russian Radio, which will air Dovlatova again on April 20. For the presenter, by the way, her daughter became the third in a row: she has a daughter, Alexandra, from her current husband, as well as a daughter, Daria, from her first marriage. In addition, Alla is raising a son, Pavel, also born in his first marriage.

Alla Dovlatova is not the only Russian celebrity who became a mother in middle age. Olesya Sudzilovskaya, Maria Poroshina, Victoria Makarskaya, Ilze Liepa, Olga Kabo and Alena Khmelnitskaya prove by their example that being a young mother when you are a little over 40 is very cool.

Education

In 1996, the celebrity graduated from St. Petersburg State University, Faculty of Journalism. Alla Dovlatova began working on radio in 1990. At first she was the author and presenter of the student issue “Nevskaya Volna” on the Radio Broadcasting Network, then, in 1992, the girl moved to radio “New Petersburg”. There she broadcast live, was the author and host of the Cowperwood Club and W-E-studio show programs. And at the same time she was already hosting a television festival on RTR “Musical Exam”.

In 1993, Alla Dovlatova went back to school. She entered the workshop of Igor Vladimirov at the Theater Institute.

However, the presenter did not abandon her radio career. Since 1994, she broadcast live on the Modern radio station; a year later she hosted the TV show “Full Modern,” which aired on a regional channel. And already in 1996, the presenter became the head of the program on the LOT channel, “Guessing Things from Allochka.”

Radio work

After Alla Dovlatova began to storm the federal radio networks. On January 14, 2002, she conducted her first broadcast - the morning show “Sunflowers” ​​together with Andrei Chizhov - on Russian Radio. Periodically, the presenter appeared on television screens. So, in 2006 and 2007, she hosted television projects on Channel One and TNT. Since 2008, Alla Dovlatova’s voice can be heard on Mayak radio.

Actress and TV presenter

Alla Dovlatova also showed herself as an actress. She can be seen in the series “Streets of Broken Lanterns”, “Secrets of the Investigation”, “National Security Agent”, “Mongoose”, “My Fair Nanny” and “Who’s the Boss”.

In the new century, Alla Dovlatova began to actively express herself as a TV presenter. Until 2002, she hosted the TV show “Good Morning”, then “Golden Gramophone”. In 2007, she could be seen in the program “Cosmopolitan. Video version." And in 2010, she began acting as a co-host in the “Girls” project. In 2001, the program “Daughters vs Mothers” started.

Alone with everyone. Alla Dovlatova

Alla also plays in the theater. She is involved in the plays “Decorator of Love”, “Who is Last for Love?”, “How to Become Desirable”, “Divorce Moscow Style”, “The Bat”.

Personal life of Allna Dovlatova

Truly the most beautiful DJ of Russian Radio, Alla Dovlatova, lived for 12 years with a St. Petersburg entrepreneur named Dmitry Lyuty-Evstrakhin. The couple has two children - daughter Dasha and son Pasha.

The couple was always admired in social circles. Both spouses are beautiful, do what they love and, moreover, earn good money.

Alla Dovlatova. All inclusive

Dmitry and Alla met on St. Petersburg television. Alla was involved in advertising, and Dima was in the directorate. The young man came from Yalta and immediately attracted Alla’s attention. A little later, colleagues began dating. Moreover, the relationship was immediately serious, even Alla’s dad Alexander Evstrakhin (who now heads the St. Petersburg Hockey Federation, and then worked with Vladimir Putin in the St. Petersburg administration) helped buy Dmitry a one-room apartment.

When Alla and Dmitry got married (Alla was only 21 years old), the bride’s parents gave the newlyweds a luxurious gift - a 3-room apartment on Nevsky Prospekt. Alla, with the help of her father’s connections, helped her husband open his own advertising agency. Over time, Dmitry was able to make him one of the most successful in St. Petersburg.

There were not enough children in the family to achieve complete happiness. For four years, Alla Dovlatova tried to get pregnant, but to no avail. Desperate, the TV presenter turned to a traditional healer. She replied that she would become pregnant as soon as she quit her job. Allegedly there is a black aura of envy around Alla.


Dovlatova immediately got a job at Radio Records and Chanson, and she also had her own project, Telecourier. Alla worked a lot and was on maternity leave for only two weeks.

When Dasha turned one year old, Alla Dovlatova was offered to host a rating program on “Russian Radio” “Sunflowers” ​​- in Moscow. Dima supported his wife, advised her to go and said that later he would also move to the capital.

For almost a year, Alla and her daughter lived in a rented Moscow apartment. Every weekend they flew to St. Petersburg to visit their dad and grandparents. During one of his visits, it was decided to sell three rubles in the city on the Neva and buy housing in Moscow. With the additional payment, the family got a three-room apartment on Aviatsionnaya Street. But Dmitry never moved to the capital. His work was not going well, and he was offended by his wife for not helping him.

Tips from Alla Dovlatova

Gossip also undermined relationships. They said that Dmitry had a mistress in St. Petersburg, and Alla was having an affair with Andrei Malakhov in Moscow. Nobody believed in the gossip, but there was still an unpleasant feeling in my soul. Quarrels became more frequent, Dmitry was dissatisfied that even during his flights to Moscow Alla was working.

For a time, the couple reconciled with the birth of their second child, Pasha’s son. Dmitry was in seventh heaven. The family even started building a house in the Moscow region. But scandals based on residence in different cities began again. The husband set a condition: Alla refuses some of the projects, or he leaves. Dovlatova decided not to give up work, then Lyutoy insisted on a divorce. The court documents contained papers according to which Dmitry laid claim to part of his Moscow apartment, cottage and his wife’s car. In 2007, the Lyutye-Evstrakhins divorced. After the divorce, Alla returned to her maiden name.

Alla Dovlatova got married for the second time. Her new chosen one was Moscow police officer Alexey Boroda, who is a year older than the TV presenter.

By the way, Alexey also has a television background; he joined the authorities when he was already a popular host of the programs “Police Chronicle” and “Petrovka, 38.”


The future spouses met quite romantically: Alexey had long dreamed of meeting Alla. One day he heard an interview with singer Philip Kirkorov on her air on Russian Radio. And a little later, Beard saw the artist at one of the concerts. The young man risked approaching the celebrity and asked to meet Alla. Kirkorov did not refuse; now he is considered the godfather of the family.

A year after they met, in 2007, the year of Alla’s divorce, the couple got married. They signed in St. Petersburg, in the Palace on the English Embankment. The wedding was attended by Alla's relatives and friends, as well as Russian movie stars. Dovlatova’s children did not leave their new dad’s side for a second. In 2008, Alexey and Alla had a common child, daughter Sasha.

If you ask me whether this pregnancy was planned, I will answer you: no. It always seemed to me: when a woman is already over forty and has three wonderful children whom she loves very much, she will want to give birth to a fourth if, for example, she gets married a second time. I can understand this: love, passion and the desire for the family to have a common child... My situation is different. Alexey is my second husband, but he and I have a daughter, Alexandra, and we did not plan to have another baby. The only person who started a conversation on this topic was my eldest daughter, Dasha. Out of nowhere in the summer he suddenly says: “Mom, you love children so much, it would be nice if you had another one. Otherwise, we will all grow up soon, move away, and you will be lonely without your little one. Who will you keep an eye on, who will you take care of?” Maybe Dasha had a presentiment of something, of course. When I told her in the fall that I was pregnant, she was so happy - she jumped up to the ceiling.

At the same time, my pregnancy may be unplanned, but it is far from accidental. Now there is a new stage in my life, and it began with the fact that I returned to my beloved “Russian Radio”. The first time I went there was in 2002, and for me this radio station turned out to be the best on earth. You may not believe me, but every day I ran to work as if it were a holiday. By the way, there was another funny feature there: people who had been unable to have children for years, when they got a job there, immediately went on maternity leave. I gave birth to both my son Pashka and my youngest (for now youngest) daughter, Sasha, while working at Russian Radio. Apparently, everyone there was so cool, so comfortable, we were surrounded by such wonderful people, that all problems, including health problems, were resolved on their own.

Several years ago the management of the radio station changed, and I had to leave. Then I didn’t attach much importance to this circumstance - just think, I’ll find another place, it’s an everyday matter. I got a job at a large radio station, started broadcasting, and at first everything seemed normal: some achievements, good people around. But the further I went, the more I realized that my soul was not in this work. I felt so good at Russian Radio, I was so used to the comfort and harmony that reigned all around that I didn’t even think that somewhere it could be different: we had to fight, resolve conflicts, get involved in intrigues. The first time I encountered this, I thought: “God, what a bad place, what terrible people here!” I quit. But in a new place it all started all over again: intrigue, the struggle for survival. And I realized that the only company where I would be comfortable is my Russian Radio. When I returned, I realized that I was happy again. You know, they say that when a woman falls in love, something subtly changes in her face, in her gaze. So, during that period they began to write to me: “Did you fall in love by chance? Something is burning in your eyes!” And I fell in love with work again. It happens. And somehow the stars rose in such a way that it was at that moment that I realized that I was waiting for an addition.

- Is it true that Philip Kirkorov introduced you to your husband Alexey?

And so it was. Lesha, my future husband, knew Philip and once heard him on my air. One day Philip calls me and says: “There’s a guy here who’s pining for you, thinking about how to hook up with you. He found out that we know each other and asks for help. He’s good, he works in the police!” For some reason the idea of ​​bringing us together was firmly lodged in my brain. And he is a passionate person: if he decides to do something, he will definitely do it. I began to be indignant, because at that moment I was still married, and then I gave up. “Let him,” I answer, “come to my performance.” Lesha came to my dressing room with a basket of roses, and at first sight some kind of chemistry arose between us, which we could not resist. Philip, by the way, is still very proud that we have a family. “You see,” he says, “I feel who I should connect with whom, it’s not just like that.”

- How did your children, Dasha and Pavel, perceive Alexei’s appearance in the house?

The son was very tiny at that time, he was barely two years old. And since his dad and I lived in different cities for a long time and saw each other extremely rarely, Alexey, in fact, was the first man who began to communicate with him. Pasha didn’t know his dad at all and accepted Lesha with a bang - he immediately shared all his toys with him. But with Dasha it was more difficult. She was seven then, a difficult age, and her character had always been hy-ho, and then there were such shocks. Unlike Pasha, she communicated with dad a lot and, of course, took Lesha with hostility. It got to the point where we resorted to the help of a psychologist. But then everything got better.

- How did they react to their new sister Sasha?

Well, there was no trace of any negativity here: everyone was very interested in the birth of a new person, they were delighted. Actually, the same thing is happening now: all the children are delighted in a single impulse and are looking forward to talking with the baby. Pasha, by the way, dreamed of a sister from the very beginning. It would seem that he already has two sisters, but no, it’s not enough for him. “Pasha,” I say, “or maybe brother?” - “What’s the point? - answers. “He will still be small, I won’t play with him.” And the appearance of another sister in the house will mean that Pasha retained his own exclusivity, remained the only son in the family, a kind of star. The girls, of course, wanted a little brother, both of them. When the doctors announced that it would be a girl, the daughters sank a little, and Pasha was happy and said: “Very good, I like that I’m the only one like you.”

- He is a sportsman?

Hockey player. He plays for Krylya Sovetov - they have their own youth team. Whether he will become a professional player is still unclear, everything is so unpredictable! My father, who headed the St. Petersburg Hockey Federation for about 20 years and understands this issue like no one else, says: “There are almost 100 participants in the youth group. And if they play seriously, two or three people from this entire huge team will get into the team of masters. These are the statistics." But we don’t view training only as an elevator that can take a boy to the Major Leagues. What shapes hockey in a child? First of all, responsibility. Because when you run or swim, your result is only yours, and the defeat is only yours. And hockey is a team game: if you don’t give your best, then your comrades will come up to you and ask why you let them down. This is where conscience and responsibility to the team come into play: why did someone else work and you didn’t? And how will you look a person in the eyes? This approach creates positive traits that any man - not necessarily an athlete - should have. To be a good dad, a good husband, you also need to have them. It's very sad, but many modern men have no responsibility. They cannot take responsibility for the woman they love, for their own children. In my opinion, these are no longer men. But I want to raise my son to be a real guy.

In addition, hockey is an excellent physical form and a man's figure. All my life, when I was still single, I liked hockey players, I dreamed of someday marrying one of them. I am a person who sees beauty in everything, including in people. And hockey means good height, a powerful shoulder girdle, a strong back, chest muscles, legs, those round nutty butts. They are athletes. Those same luxurious ancient Greek figures that it was a pity to dress - they are so perfect. Imagine what a handsome man the boy will grow up to be! Mothers usually don’t talk about their sons in this way, but I’m already thinking how lucky some girl will be who gets my handsome boy. And at the same time, hockey players are not selfish or narcissistic stars, because they play in a team and are used to everyone fighting together for the result.

Well, the most important thing, probably, is the brain. After all, hockey is a very fast and fast sport, there are a lot of tactics. The famous hockey player Vladislav Tretyak recalled how they were coached by Anatoly Vladimirovich Tarasov, who created our legendary team many years ago, which included, in addition to Tretyak, Anatoly Firsov, Valery Kharlamov and our other famous athletes. He said that hockey players were at training camps for 11 months a year, training for ten hours every day, but also sitting at their desks for five hours a day. Yes, yes, they, already grown men, world champions, were taught like schoolchildren. Teachers from universities taught them physics, mathematics, history - they developed their brains. Tarasov said: “We won’t be able to defeat the Canadians if we play their hockey - speed, power.” And then he invented his own game - a smart one. Now we still have his legacy. In general, I think there is nothing better than hockey for a boy.

- Do you take the development of girls just as seriously?

Dasha has one goal this year: pass exams and enter a university. Yes, we succeed in everything at once: the Unified State Examination, childbirth, and admission to college. It will be a fun time. Everything is very tense right now, but I hope that in the summer we will all be happy, joyful and able to breathe out. Dasha is a humanist, she likes to write, and I persuade her to go to the journalism department, since journalism is a good profession, I understand how to advance here, how to study. Dasha did an internship in the summer at our radio station, in the PR department, and she was told that she could apply at any time, during the holidays, for example, - there would always be work for her, and there was something to learn from our guys. But for now, in my opinion, Dasha perceives journalism as an alternate airfield, and dreams of going into directing. Just the thought of entering this faculty and studying there makes me want to shoot myself. But my daughter does not want to deviate from her chosen path. Let's see what comes of this. But that’s all later, the main thing is to pass the Unified State Exam, this terrible exam. I believe that this system is a real blow to us, humanists. Having removed oral exams, teachers no longer teach children public speaking. But in humanitarian universities, a person’s assessment often depends on how he speaks. And in life there are many situations when competent speech gives a person serious advantages over others. But at school they don’t pay attention to this now. It's a pity.

The youngest daughter, Sasha, is in 3rd grade and studies at the Children's Musical Theater for Young Actors. This theater, which prepares children to perform in big, serious musicals, was opened 28 years ago. Its most famous graduate is Kolya Baskov. From there came Natalya Gromushkina, Valeria Lanskaya and many other popular artists - both dramatic and pop. Sasha sings and dances there - her musical abilities are great. But here the situation is the same as with my son with hockey: it is not clear what will happen in the end. In sports, even if there are no injuries, a child opens up by the age of fourteen or fifteen, and some unpleasant accidents can completely put an end to a career at any moment. It’s the same in music: it happens that at an early age children amaze with stunning voices. But then a mutation begins in boys - and that’s it, big hello. Girls' voices also change - not so sharply and pronouncedly, but problems can still arise. Sometimes, as in the case of Kolya Baskov, everything goes smoothly: he sang incredibly as a child, and continued to do so. We watched recordings of Kolya’s performances in this theater at the age of 10-11. He was a leader on all fronts and remains so. My daughter, unfortunately, does not want to go on stage yet, although it seems to me that she has all the abilities for this. But she still has everything ahead.



- In our society, it is not customary to be happy for a woman who has decided to have a fourth child. But I'm lucky: I only communicate with well-mannered people. There are no puzzled looks or condemnation

- How do you manage to distribute time and energy so that you have enough for both children and work?

Experience. I have been a mother for almost 18 years and have not stopped working all this time. She always broadcast until the last day of pregnancy; she was not on maternity leave. But it’s hard to give advice here; there is no single formula for success: everyone’s health is different, the body works differently. I think that I was just very lucky: pregnancy always goes easily, without toxicosis and other serious problems, and I recover quickly. And my nature never allowed me to be bored at home. At first, my grandmother looked after Dasha, then we found a nanny and gradually adapted to this regime. At some point, there were more nannies, now they work on a rotational basis, and I try to take care of the children as best I can. The most important thing is to have a reliable person to whom you can entrust your children, so that the children treat him well, so that you are calm. And it's not easy to do, let me tell you. I went through different nannies. There were nannies who drank, there were nannies who were planning a robbery...

Yes, we had a story. She seems to be a good nanny, no complaints. And suddenly she says: “I won’t come tomorrow - my throat hurts, I’m afraid of infecting the children.” And the day before, one set of keys went missing somewhere. We also had a second nanny, who at that moment lived in the apartment. And so she goes for a walk with all three children, but 15 minutes later she returns (either the weather was bad, or they forgot something), and the door is wide open. Of course, it was horror, she, poor thing, went through a lot of fear: after all, she had three children on her, a responsibility. There was chaos in the apartment, someone had obviously just been in it, but apparently they scared them away: they didn’t even have time to close the door. I’m happy that it all ended well, I’m afraid to even think about what could have happened. And that second nanny goes to work the next day as if nothing had happened. She just forgot that my husband is a policeman. He says: “I have a suspicion that this lady is involved in the story, we need to make sure that her phone remains at home, and she leaves - I’ll check her for lice.” I sent her to the store to buy something urgently, but didn’t give her the phone number: they say, if you run away quickly, no one will call. My husband took the device, clicked through it all, found the boyfriend’s number in the contacts, ran it through the database, checked it, and it turned out that he was hovering near our house at the very time when they tried to rob us. Well, we had to express all our complaints to her and fire her right there.

But such cases, thank God, are still rare; we are mostly lucky with nannies. And she manages to successfully combine her work schedule with raising children.



- My pregnancy may be unplanned, but it is far from accidental. I returned to my favorite job - and a new, happy stage began in my life.

No matter how busy your life was, you nevertheless decided on a fourth child. Moreover, at a fairly advanced age - after 40 years. Our doctors love to call expectant mothers who are over 25 years old the terrible term “old-time mother.” Have you heard such words addressed to you?

In my case, the situation turned out to be twofold. Basically, I was lucky enough to communicate with doctors who perceived my situation extremely positively, they said that everything was fine with me and that they had never seen such good tests even in 25-year-olds. I was especially pleased with the reaction of Mark Arkadyevich Kurtser, one of the most famous Moscow gynecologists, with whom I gave birth to Sasha and to whom I will go again without hesitation. This experienced, intelligent and delicate person, upon learning that I was expecting a child, immediately said: “Oh, that’s great! Everything will be fine!" And I was calm. But sometimes there was a different attitude. Some still tried to play it safe, sending me for insanely expensive and complex tests, which were also associated with a risk for me and the fetus. When I asked: “Why? After all, all my tests are perfect, and only those whose indicators are not in order are referred for this test,” they answered me: “We didn’t recommend it before either, but now that one famous actress gave birth to a not entirely healthy child, we are afraid just in case please pass the case." I don't understand this attitude.

I know that in our society it is not customary to be happy for a woman who has decided to have a fourth, fifth or sixth child. It is also common to be wary of the idea of ​​giving birth after forty. But I’m lucky - both at work and in life, I communicate exclusively with well-mannered and sensitive people, and so far I have not heard anything like this addressed to me. There were no blank looks or condemnation. On the contrary, everyone who is aware perceives the changes in me very positively. 40 years is just a number on your passport. And there is also such an important concept as “biological age”. If a person is young in soul and body, what prevents him from having a child?

- How do you keep fit now?

I definitely do yoga every day. My coach, Oksana, appeared in my life while I was pregnant with Sasha. She then helped me recover quickly after childbirth: in just a month and a half I regained my previous figure and my former vigor. We do different types of yoga, but Oksana specializes in exercises for pregnant women. I also do water aerobics - also a good exercise for pregnant women. In general, when I was pregnant, I always looked after my health. With Dasha I just swam, with Pavel I did water aerobics, and with Sasha I added yoga. Such classes help a lot. Although, of course, I am an experienced person and understand perfectly well what awaits me. The last trimester will soon come with all its “delights”: a huge belly, shortness of breath. But yoga allows you to stay fit. Nutritionist Margarita Koroleva also helps me a lot. I came to her about three years ago, and she solved all my weight problems and taught me how to eat correctly. We meet periodically, she comes to Russian Radio and, in addition to performing well on air, she also corrects my diet along the way. “Come on, come on,” he says, “don’t let yourself go, hold on.”

My friend, designer Sophie, also supports me. She thought through my entire “pregnant” wardrobe so competently that, as a result, those people from whom I wanted to hide my situation never guessed anything.



- The pregnant woman is amazingly beautiful. Be active and cheerful. And in this case, it doesn’t matter whether you are forty or twenty years old: this will be the best time of your life!

- It’s clear that you are an experienced mother: from the first days you surrounded yourself with the necessary people.

And I am very grateful to them. But by the way, they are not the only ones who support me - I inspire them too. Margarita Koroleva is preparing to release a line of special food for pregnant women. My trainer Oksana started a series of seminars for expectant mothers on managing pregnancy and preparing for childbirth. I see that Sophie’s website is already starting to have models for expectant mothers. And I'm glad that this is happening. After all, pregnancy is an amazingly beautiful and happy state. For some reason, many women feel embarrassed about themselves during this period, they think that it is unaesthetic, and that it will have a bad effect on their career if their boss suddenly reveals a big belly ahead of time. My own experience is that these are pure prejudices. If you eat right and give yourself the necessary exercise, everything will be fine. Yes, of course, it's not easy. Any woman who has a child knows how difficult it is during this period to control herself, not to let herself get eaten up, not to say to herself: “Pregnant women have to eat for two, so I will under no circumstances deny myself pies and buns.” . But there is nothing to do, we have to. And by the way, since I am prone to being overweight, I am already so accustomed to controlling my diet in everyday life that it does not cause me discomfort.

The pregnant woman is amazingly beautiful. Well, the belly is big - so what? Then he will become small again. My Sophie, when she draws dresses for me, always says: “Just work out properly so that your legs are good, then you can put on heels.” Yes, heels are not the most suitable shoes for an expectant mother, but if I have some kind of evening event or shooting, I can easily stand two or three hours in shoes with stable low heels. There are no contraindications here. I urge all women who are expecting a child to move more and forget about all superstitions. Pregnancy is not a disease, but a normal life. Many years ago, our great-great-grandmothers gave birth, as they say, in the furrow, and while they were carrying children, no one relieved them of housekeeping responsibilities. Everything is in the field, no one cares what term you have. Of course, in the 21st century, I do not encourage anyone who is seven months pregnant to harness the plow and plow. But lying on the couch for the entire period if you don’t have any medical indications for this is also strange. Live, enjoy, be active, beautiful and cheerful. And in this case, it doesn’t matter whether you are forty or twenty years old: this will be the best time of your life!

Real name: Marina Evstrakhina

Family: husband - Alexey, police officer; daughter - Alexandra (8 years old); children from his first marriage - Daria (17 years old), Pavel (12 years old)

Education: graduated from the Faculty of Journalism of St. Petersburg State University, LGITMiK (workshop of Igor Vladimirov)

Career: She has been working as a radio presenter since 1992. Over the years, she was a presenter on the radio stations “New Petersburg”, “Modern”, “Mayak” and “Romantika”. Currently working at Russian Radio. She was one of the hosts of the “Girls” program on the Russia TV channel. She starred in the TV series “My Fair Nanny”, “Secrets of the Investigation”, etc.

Alla Dovlatova became a mother for the fourth time. The woman gave her husband Alexei a charming baby girl. The good news was reported by the press service of Russian Radio.

The presenter’s birth took place in Lapino, under the guidance of Mark Kurtser, one of the most famous obstetricians and gynecologists in the capital. “This is an amazing clinic... They showed me a single room with all the amenities, and if possible, they will provide a double room so that the baby and I can always be close,” Alla told StarHit. By the way, actress Oksana Akinshina, singer Pelageya and figure skater Tatyana Volosozhar previously used the services of the medical center.

At the moment, the star and her baby are feeling great and are accepting congratulations from family and friends. In turn, fans of the radio host wish her child to grow up healthy and happy.

“It was today that our beloved colleague Alla Dovlatova gave birth to a charming girl, 50 centimeters tall and weighing 3.2 kilograms. We are very happy to announce that mother and daughter are doing well,” the radio press service reports.

While Alla Dovlatova was within the walls of a medical institution, her parents came from St. Petersburg to look after the celebrity’s older children. By the way, in one of the interviews, the presenter said that her daughter Daria insisted most of all on adding to the family. Therefore, when the girl learned the good news from her beloved mother, she was in seventh heaven. The presenter's other heirs - Alexandra and Pavel - supported their sister and were looking forward to talking with the baby.

During a conversation with correspondents, Alla also admitted that she did not plan a fourth pregnancy, but fate decreed otherwise. Preparing to become a mother again, the presenter did not stop working and did yoga. Dovlatova performed asanas almost every day to maintain flexibility and not gain excess weight. The celebrity's training was supervised by her mentor, who belayed the star during pair exercises.

Let us add that 42-year-old Alla Dovlatova was not at all afraid of possible discussions from the public. She admitted that she did not feel the age indicated in her passport. According to the presenter, if a woman is young in body and soul, nothing prevents her from becoming a mother. By the way, actor Stanislav Sadalsky shared his thoughts about the interesting situation of the celebrity. “She went crazy giving birth to her fourth in her fifties. Doctor Mark Kurtser says that in two months an absolutely healthy girl will appear, and the Russian Radio star has a good chance of having a fifth, and then a sixth... Sergei Sobyanin will simply be forced to allocate them a three-room apartment. And Vladimir Vladimirovich - hang the star of the heroine mother...” the artist joked on social networks.
